Terrifically taxing. [July 2010, p.93]

Like Battlefield before it, Medal of Honor is an engrossing online shooter with an above-average campaign mode bolted on. As a result, it's a purchase you should only seriously consider if your console is hooked up to the intarwebs. On a wider scale though, this reboot thrusts Medal of Honor back into the spotlight, and for the first time in ages we can't wait to see where EA take the series next.

Not as gimmicky as you might think but you've lived all these NFS moments before. [Christmas 2006, p.80]

Generous, right? More so for PC owners, who get all of the above for free. [Aug 2010, p.99]

The perfect sort of game to play wile doing something else - unless you're a whale, of course. [March 2018, p.75]

A gripping spy thriller, successfully replicating the XCOM campaign structure in a le Carre-like world. [Oct 2018, p.66]
