There are some glimmers of hope to be had with Conflict: Denied Ops. If you can get past the graphics, cardboard cut-out story, wonky physics (a shotgun blast pokes a tiny hole in plywood, but rifle-butting a door will splinter it out of the frame?!) and disjointed, confused gameplay then there is an semi-enjoyably mindless shooter here. Maybe. Crippling Conflict: Denied Ops though is that the competition is composed of far better, cheaper games.

It comes down to this. When I was at university I’d occasionally dip into my student loan on a slow week and go trawling the bargain bins at my local GameStation with a fiver in hand. I knew that the games I was buying would most likely turn out to be awful, but I’d buy them anyway because they’d fulfil my need for a cheap, forgettable game to while away the time between thinking about starting my dissertation and forgetting to start my dissertation.
