Not the most thrilling experience because going gung-ho means failing. [Dec 2007, p.84]

Worth your money by virtue of being totally unique. [Mar 2008, p.67]

Still great fun. Looses out graphically but gains with interactivity. [Dec 2007, p.80]

It's a very playable game, but feels like a budget one, however. [May 2007, p.85]

Not a revolution, but still addictive, and different enough from "Skate" to matter. [Christmas 2007, p.82]

A meaty and satisfyingly weird addition to teh 2D fighting genre. [June 2008, p.74]

It does what it says on the tin, but it's not really a game as such. [Feb 2008, p.82]

A simple shooter but its unique looks and sound make it cool. [Mar 2008, p.84]

With the fantastic "Team Fortress 2" supplying the multiplayer action, this is a formidable complilation. What more could you want? That box of chocolates? Would've been nice. [Dec 2007, p.60]

RPG action meets addictive puzzling in one of this year's best games. [Dec 2007, p.84]

The best arcade rally game you can buy - what did you expect? [Nov 2007, p.80]

Bleach is one of the deepest, most interesting shows out there. The game, sadly, isn't. [Apr 2008, p.84]

Almost an interactive cartoon. Excellent, if short lived, entertainment. [Christmas 2007, p.84]

No massive leap over "Battlefront 2," but more of the same is welcome. [Dec 2007, p.70]

Tough, slow but containing oodles of depth. A proper strategy game for the PSP. [Nov 2007, p.83]

Good ideas squandered on a linear RPG. With few other PS3 RPGs, though, it's worth a look. [Nov 2007, p.65]

The ultimate FIFA in terms of licenses, teams and presentation; fails to excite on the pitch. [Dec 2007, p.55]

A case of unnecessary-motion-controls spoiling a perfectly average football sim. [Dec 2007, p.56]

It's back-to-back successful seasons for FIFA while the Be A Pro mode is really top-notch. [Nov 2007, p.77]

A smart and vividly simple holiday, for younger players only. [Christmas 2007, p.79]

Will probably create a future generation of keyhole surgeons. [July 2007, p.84]

Solid, well presented and enjoyable. Just the right level of challenge for the PSP. [Dec 2007, p.56]

Quite simply the worst game to bear the Nintendo logo in a generation or two. [Feb 2008, p.78]

If you're older than twelve, forget about it. Otherwise, this is as good as it gets. [Dec 2007, p.75]

If your strategic thinking can keep up with the pace of the gameplay, you'll love this. [Dec 2007, p.66]

Great fun picking up the culture references but the enjoyment is short-lived. [Aug 2007, p.81]

A slightly unsettling but basically enjoyable game. [Nov 2006, p.84]

It's "Flatout 2," given a seriously pretty makeover and superior solidity. Win! [Aug 2007, p.77]

It wins with the track editor but loses in other areas. Hit and miss basically. [Nov 2007, p.69]

Single-handedly worth the price of an Xbox 360. Buy it. We implore you. [Nov 2007, p.74]

Undemanding but highly effective Spidey scrapper that will delight many fans. [Dec 2007, p.65]

Really difficult and mean-spirited. Puff was magic; Spyro is a jerk. [Christmas 2007, p.84]

Just pipped by "NBA Live 08," but a match in nearly every sense. [Dec 2007, p.84]

It's a game that should be seen from start to finish, if only to witness some of the finest level and puzzle concoctions ever to grace a Zelda game and, without question, the finest single-player experience to grace the DS. [JPN Import; Sept 2007, p.68] Hourglass drips quality and innovation, no DS owner should be without it. [Dec 2007, p.62]

The best place to shoot hoops both online and off. [Oct 2007, p.85]

A short but sweet burst of preschool tomfoolery. [May 2008, p.84]

A horrendous collection you'll never want to revisit. [Jan 2008, p.78]

Genre-defining. [Nov 2007, p.58]

Gorgeous to look at and charming to play. But we don't all want cute. [Dec 2007, p.85]

From the makers of the brilliant "Eledees" this is a confused let-down. Worth a rent at best. [Dec 2007, p.75]

What it lacks in terms of presentation it makes up in detail. RPG fans only. [June 2008, p.80]

Solid gameplay, stunning aerial effects, but nothing that will have you celebrating. [Oct 2007, p.82]

It's "Lego Animal Crossing." A brilliant idea that deserves to be a monster hit. [Oct 2007, p.74]

A gorgeous adventure. Well worth a punt now that "Animal Crossing's" had its day. [Nov 2007, p.69]

A fun retro reminder but nothing here has much sustained longevity. [May 2008, p.85]

A reminder why Sonic has lasted 16 years. Fast, frantic and, most importantly, fun. [Oct 2007, p.71]

Awesome, adrenaline-packed action that puts some first-person shooters to shame. [Nov 2007, p.86]

A very welcome alternative to the Birdman's recent efforts. [Nov 2007, p.68]

Some good flinging fun but perhaps it plays a little too safe. [Christmas 2007, p.84]

Whether you see the drawing as innovative or gimmicky will determine if you'll like this. [Nov 2007, p.72]

High-engergy action with some brilliant moments and touches. Shame it's so short. [Nov 2007, p.62]

A miserable, awkward and unsatisfying excuse for a pool game. [Oct 2008, p.85]

An adequate FPS but there's not enough originality here for us to recommend it. [Oct 2007, p.68]

A huge-sized actioner best enjoyed in co-op for double the carnage. [May 2008, p.77]

A more complete package than its predecessor that keeps stubbornly to what Worms is about. [Oct 2007, p.84]

An average sword and sorcery flight sim, let down by the dodgy camera and controls. [Nov 2007, p.82]

Colourful, clever, strategic and devilishly compelling in multiplayer. [Nov 2007, p.85]

Dark for many reasons, but most make this a decent adventure. [Dec 2007, p.83]

Sweaty-palm online gaming that gets better as teamwork develops. [Oct 2007, p.78]

A mostly old-school adventuring format, swanked up in a manner worthy of Xbox 360. [Sept 2007, p.74]

Larger size aside, little has changed from the original. But four-player Ad Hoc is a hoot! [Oct 2007, p.70]

Enjoyable, but its newcomer emphasis stops it being essential. [June 2008, p.74]

As if it wasn't Total enough, Total War gets even more Total. [Nov 2007, p.85]

A definite improvement over the last PS3 Tiger. [Oct 2007, p.80]

A typical Tiger game: well presented, easy to play, but don't expect much new stuff. [Oct 2007, p.76]

An instant classic that proves the Wii can do 'serious' games with serious aplomb. [Nov 2007, p.70]

Well, it's bike racing, isn't it? But done really well so it's definitely worth a try. [Oct 2007, p.77]

Original, often breathtakingly beautiful retro-styled shooter. [Nov 2007, p.85]

Perfectly solid but wholly predictable on every level. [Mar 2008, p.84]

Too similar to the original to unreservedly recommend, but still excellent. It'll sell well. [Sept 2007, p.76]

Another good addition to the series but this isn't the 'next-gen' Madden to blow you away. [Oct 2007, p.79]

One of the best adventures you'll play on PSP. It's uniquely brilliant and classic Tomb Raider! [Aug 2007, p.82]

A basic arcade game that we've seen many times before but it still has a certain appeal. [Nov 2007, p.83]

If this is a trial run for "Boogie 2," we just hope it works better next time. [Nov 2007, p.84]

An intense mix of action and strategy, but not for all tastes. [Dec 2007, p.83]

Sounds dull, but like Sudoku, once it gets its claws in you'll be hooked. [Sept 2007, p.85]
