"With the emergence of the current console generation has also come one of the industry’s most popular genres; the cover-based third person shooter. Strangely enough however, since its first, most refined appearance in Gears of War, very few games have been able to improve upon the solid chain of mechanics, Uncharted 2 being one of the rare examples. Unfortunately, Mindjack falls into the category of game which fails to grasp the basics of the third person shooter, and then instead of fixing the core mechanics, instead the developers paint over it with a handful of gimmicks, fingers crossed that the foundation is just strong enough to keep the whole experience from toppling."
Mindjack was released in 2011 to negative reviews.
To me, Duke Nukem was playability at least. Most movie games were more intolerable than that.
I remember being really excited for Alien Colonial Marines, until I checked the review scores.....

Very poor game, though as detailed in the review, it does have some innovative mechanics. Hopefully other devs will pick up on these.
