But if you like your games with a challenge, if you want more depth, and want a multiplayer experience that doesn’t degenerate into strike attacks, then unfortunately Legends of WrestleMania is unlikely to be for you.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
Demon Stone may entertain in its straightforward nature as a button basher with cinematic pretensions and presentation, yet it?s also let down by a camera that often obscures the action and by the repetitiveness.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Though it might appear a little dated, the game offers some innovative features, such as the addition of the Dreamworld, combined with a good story.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
The characters don't move with the speed and finesse of those in Smash Bros and the fighting has less finesse. The recognisable characters help to make this title stand out and it's not necessarily a bad thing.- Boomtown

Fans of turn Russian developer 1C's Fantasy Wars title will feel at home here and novice players may be attracted by its simplicity and omission of in-depth resource management, but Elven Legends does little to break new ground in its genre.- Boomtown

Certainly there is some fun to be had here - mostly in brief stints as a party game - but the track list is not what it could have been. When combined with the lack of DLC or interoperability with World Tour, I find it difficult to wholeheartedly recommend Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits.- Boomtown

It’s clear that this game is aimed at children. If you have a child that’s a fan of the film, this will no-doubt appeal to them and they may well find it a lot more enjoyable than older gamers.- Boomtown

If you liked the original, or love games like Prince of Persia or Ninja Gaiden then it is definitely worth a look at.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
It's a noble failure with much to admire, but it is still a failure. All very well harping on about the handling then have to contend will really terrible damage modelling.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
This Is an offering to a niche and one that doesn't really have the greatest appeal to people outside that niche.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
If nothing more than an interesting footnote in the evolution of gaming ideas, it would be a real shame to let this game fade into obscurity without at least coming to your own conclusion.- Boomtown

So to summarize, Blood on the Sand doesn't suck. After Bulletproof it didn't look to have much of a chance, but the game plays to its strengths by not being anything too serious or demanding, giving way to a simple, solid, unpretentious and surprisingly enjoyable third-person shoot-'em-up.- Boomtown

It's a stunner to look at and genuinely scared us on more than one occasion. I'm sure Darkworks would take some comfort in knowing that. But in the end it accounts for nothing, because this turkey is well and truly cold.- Boomtown

X3 is a great game, but if Egosoft grasped the challenge and offered immersion of the type seen in "Freelancer" and similar ship handling, combined with its own beautiful and complex universe, then we might finally have a game that deserves to called the new "Elite."- Boomtown

- Critic Score
The game's story mode and character customization are so much more fun than your usual career mode.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
While the best part of the package lies in the repetitive but gratifying fist fighting system, a few more issues frustrated me to the end.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
Smackdown vs Raw 2008 is an unpolished game. It's an odd thing to say because it's basically an annual update on a game that's always been pretty good.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
While part of the beauty and pure artistry is that it doesn’t hold your hand the whole way, I can’t help but feel that it does lack direction, but it shows off the PS2’s Sixaxis in a more than appealing way, and gives the PS3 an edge of experimentation and originality that could sway the odd savvy gamer.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
It’s not as good as any of the “proper” stand alone Resident Evils, so unless you’re a hardcore zombie fan this can be quite quickly crossed off your shopping list.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
I enjoyed it as a mindless entertainment that kept me going through each level by incentivising the cinematics.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
I'm actually having more fun online with this game than "GRAW" thanks to the even greater emphasis on team play, role types and big robot things exploding.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
It seems to borrow too much, and doesn’t really deliver in terms of an immersive story, hoping that the gameplay itself will be addictive enough to keep an audience captive and paying extra per month.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
It’s a perfect handheld game and something that’s bound to always keep a smile on your face.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
If The Urbz was marketed as ironic social commentary it may have raised a wry smile, but the frivolous manner in which it tries to appeal to the cool-set eventually becomes irritating.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Tales of Valour just doesn't add enough new content and what it does add is pretty much useless. This one is only for the die hard COH fans.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
Despite the many disappointments, undoubtedly the thing that disappointed me the most with FIFA World Cup 2010 is that it has no identity. It doesn’t know whether it’s a simulation or a simplistic arcade game.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
I believe EA could have created a very nice 2D/Top down view version of the game to suit the DS but instead it thought that a liner mission based structure would be more fun for the player and in my opinion they could not have been more wrong.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Though the multiplayer premise sounds like an excellent watered down version of the Battlefield series, the same flaws that come to close to completely crippling the single player experience only detract from the overall quality of the game to the extent that it barely improves on the single player format.- Boomtown
