Yet while the game has plenty of niggles such as duplicated left-right mirrors, texture shimmer, dull lighting and the like the truth is that it plays better than any other racing sim I've played on console. There are better racing games out there for the current crop of consoles, but there isn't a better handling one whose aim is simulation.- Boomtown

Take the time to master the nuances of minion combat and you will find a lot here to keep you entertained.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
The series has had a good run, but it just hasn’t really evolved much from it’s initial outing and unless they can do a complete reinvention on the next installment then Actvision should just call it a day.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
The core gameplay is fast and furious enough to keep it alive if more variety is added and I know I will pick it up again at some time in the future.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
A fantastic game. It's hampered by a few problems, but nothing major. It provides ground breaking gameplay that I am sure will be imitated by others.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Reinventing the franchise in a simplistic but addictive manner, the self-proclaimed interactive screensaver is a surprisingly addictive game that will confuse onlookers and anyone within earshot.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
It’s something worth experiencing even if you end up coming to the conclusion that it isn’t for you, your gaming perspective will have been broadened.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
Amped 3 brought lots of smiles to my face, but these were down to the wacky presentation rather than anything else.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
I would certainly recommend MK vs DC, perhaps not at full price but at a sub-£20 price point I can’t see it disappointing many, and it actually does enough to deserve a seven.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
While Ultimate Ghosts ‘n Goblins often threatens to be obtuse and dated platformer, it’s hard not admire its impishly cunning design, charming presentation and strict old-school challenge.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
I really disliked the single player aspect, but the multiplayer saved the game in my eyes.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Rarely do I find myself so absorbed by the characters I play and the world in which they live, and that's a true homage to Techland for creating such an absurdly assimilating game. But the feeling is shattered at times.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Really this is the definitive Dragonball Z game, for the fans anyway, there’s not much they can do to improve it, bar maybe a class system and some working net code.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
A finely-poised slice of real-time tactical action. Tactical Strike won’t pry you away from the likes of Company of Heroes, and series purists may lament the loss of direct control, but it stands foremost of its genre in the handheld arena.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
A decent, side-scrolling action romp, with admirable multiplayer offering and enjoyable gameplay. This, comrade, is well worth an investment.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
When I previewed the game in September it oozed potential greatness, but somewhere along the line Arkane and Ubisoft have lost their way and we're left with what I can only deem as half a game.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
As it stands now, Mario and Sonic Olympic does have some scope as an entertaining multiplayer game, but isn't really thrilling enough to be remembered as a classic outing for these videogames icons.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Make no mistake, it hardly comes close in terms of quality to the most vaunted titles of the console, but then again, addictive, joyful games for the Wii have been so thin on the ground of late that Deadly Creatures is bound - and perhaps deserves - to make some kind of an impact.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
With that first release having had such a limited audience, there’s no doubt that what is on offer here will seem fresh and innovative to some of those who pick up what is a decent and lengthy expansion.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
This is a good videogame adaptation and none of the flaws prevent it from being immersive and enjoyable to play. You won’t find another game quite like this. American Football and the fantasy world of Elves and Orcs make undeniably strange bedfellows and their unholy offspring may be ugly but it is entertaining.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
One of the most fun, convincing, action-packed and atmospheric football games released on a console. It’s not merely a tournament cash-in, the choice of teams and game content mean it’s a full game in its own fight and bodes very well for the next full FIFA game.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
At £5.99 on Steam I find it hard not to recommend this off the wall piece of budget brilliance.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars is, nonetheless, probably worth checking out – though not, perhaps, at full price unless you’re buying for a younger gamer. However, I’m looking forward to seeing what Red Fly Studio get up to next, as there’s lots of good stuff in those mutated ‘shrooms.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
The single, or should that be double, player campaign is a bit on the short side, but it’s quite replayable due to being fun with a friend, and the multiplayer is good for a blast, just hope some new maps turn up for it pretty soon.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Despite the rough edges, Killing Floor can be considered a resounding success.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
And if you love Guitar Hero, but don't have deep enough pockets to fit out a whole band on the World Tour game then this is a good substitute, just mind the funny looks you'll get rocking out on the bus.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
The combat is the title’s biggest blessing and curse. On the one hand we have a multi-faceted scheme that relies on a veritable orgy of button bashes in order to unleash the nest moves. But it’s entirely counterattacked by dodgy enemies who rarely change beyond what race they are.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
This is a flawed but decent conversion of an older title based on a flawed but decent movie. That level of consistency is pretty rare these days.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
It was fun to play a space action game that used trading to get you into opportunities for a fight rather than study for a degree in advanced intergalactic economics.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Although, more often than not, these ‘borrowed’ gameplay elements are poorly implemented and tiresome, there’s a surprising amount of mileage within the game.- Boomtown
