    Why did Namco have to mess with the tried-and-tested formula? Subdued and, frankly, disappointing. [GamesMaster]

    A solid beat-'em-up. It's unbalanced and frustrating at times but, when the combat is flowing freely, Urban Reign is hard to beat. [PSM2]

    Catacombs is well worth adding to your Camelot collection - provided that you already have an account and aren't planning to jump ship in the near future. [PC Gamer UK]

    The sci-fi action found here is good while it lasts; it just never changes from the first level.

    A good couple of days stylish thrash-'em-up violence. Not much variety, but plenty of fun to be had, we feel. [GamesMaster]

    We're underwhelmed by the game mechanic and bot AI but there's a good online game in there if you've got the hardware. Shame about everyone else. [PSM2]

    Slick, professional and realistic, but punctured by familiarity and frustrating controls. [PSM2]

    It's not the most imaginative game on PSP, but it is entertaining. The fun of wiping out a group of slavering zombies with a well timed combo shot is enough to justify buying this. [PSM2]

    Everything or Nothing is dripping with Bondiness. It's accessible and youngster-friendly. Unfortunately it's a little bit more like the popcorn than the movie. [PSM2]

    No actual treasure, unlike its Defender/Robotron-packing predecessor, but you get a few near-classics for 20 quid. [GamesMaster]

    Unlike previous expansions it doesn't pack any real innovations. Looks like we'll have to wait for The Sims Online for that. [GamesMaster]

    Full Spectrum Warrior's heritage as a US Army training tool is all too evident. Pandemic nearly forgot they needed to make a game too, and as a result FSW is too realistic, too automated - and not enough fun. [PC Gamer UK]
    • 69 Metascore

    Short, confusing, ugly to handle and curious, but still has an undeniable eerie charm that will get under your skin. [GamesMaster]

    With so much chasing and fighting in the movie, the scrolling slasher genre seems ideal. However, the result is a simplistic and repetitive game. [PSM2]
    • 75 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Visually scrumptious, and innovative, but lacking the vital fluid of satisfaction. [PC Gamer UK]
    • 73 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It's quick, brash and very noisy but underneath that wild exterior lurks a racer of surprising finesse. [PSM2 Magazine]

    The PS2 version doesn't have any extra features that might make up for the lack of certain technically impossible bits and pieces.

    Fools you into thinking it's crap with its new-fangled but rubbish graphics but, like George Formby, Land Warrior turns out nice again.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Bags of style and tons of good ideas - all crowbarred into a game that's slightly too monotonous to sustain them. [PSM2]
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The action never lets up and while there's no real depth or strategy, it's a damn good blast that really gets the adrenaline pumping.

    We are, already, looking forward to next year's version, which hopefully will be that much better.

    The best DBZ game yet? Definitely. Likely to appeal if you don't know what Potaro earrings do or who Gogeta is? Probably not. [GamesMaster]

    Know this - Gunman is swathed in gratifyingly filthy gunslinging action. Savour it while you can.

    As a short game, there's little to moan about. It's basically all silly arm positions, freakish leg moves and improbable jumps. In a good way. And as Valve is publishing it, it can even be delivered to your PC painlessly. [PC Gamer UK]

    It's a hit. But only by a pixellated margin.

    Half the games aren't really up to much these days but they still provide the quick-fix gaming that the GBA is designed for. [NGC]

    Fun to play, charming and challenging to boot, shame about its length.

    Just as "Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy" was an enjoyable but slightly two-dimensional platformer, Sudeki is its insubstantial RPG equivalent. [GamesMaster]

    Oni
    The shoddiest, most poorly constructed, most flawed game that we have ever seen manage to be a Hit, although only by the outermost molecule of the skin of its teeth.

    If it wasn't a Blizzard title, Diablo II would be dismissed as the bimboesque bit of frippery it actually is, and gain no more than a passing interest from most folk. Be warned.
