    The worst possible anniversary tribute to a character that deserves so much better. A turgid, tragic piece of sh.t. [Jan 2013, p.79]

    Unlike the sublime Telltale game based on the same license, Survival Instinct reeks of cheap tie in cash grab. [June 2013, p.71]

    • 20 Critic Score
    The Sisyphean feat of defeating a level doesn't leave you elated, but instead gives you the urge to release the boulder and let it crush you to death so you don't have to do it all over again. [Sept 2012, p.69]

    • 32 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    This is worthless, rote action, done much better elsewhere. [Nov 2012, p.78]

    • 28 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    Some games are so bad they're endearing. Rambo is not one of these. It's an insult to games and gamers alike. [May 2014, p.78]

    You might not keep coming back, but you'll enjoy the time you spend with it. [Sept 2012, p.31]

    Good fun and quite aesthetically pleasing, but the tilt controls are strictly binary and there's not much to keep you coming back. [Sept 2012, p.31]

    • 50 Critic Score
    The tilt-based gameplay is extremely imprecise and not a lot of fun, but the upbeat, funky chiptune soundtrack is awesome and infectious. [Oct 2012, p.25]

    • 50 Critic Score
    This is conceptually cool, as you man helicopters, firefighters, and other units all at once, but also quite dull. [Dec 2012, p.29]

    It's a rather zen experience thanks to some sharp sound design. [Feb 2013, p.31]

    Offers up the insanity we've come to expect from the Benami label, if not the cohesiveness. [Feb 2013, p.31]

    It'll kill time adequately. [May 2013, p.82]

    There's a great feeling of responsiveness to Finger Hoola that makes the wold weird project work, more or less. [June 2013, p.84]

    Guilty fun. [July 2013, p.84]

    There's just something infectiously funky and likable about the whole thing. [Aug 2013, p.82]

    You need to finish the game in one sitting, which isn't a huge task, but it's an unnecessary burden. [Nov 2013, p.80]

    Manages to carve out an identity for itself in a crowded genre. [Feb 2014, p.85]

    The sort of game that feels great in your hands. [March 2014, p.76]

    It's a novelty, really, but a moderately effective one. [May 2014, p.82]

    Space Breaker would work a lot better if it just slowed down a bit. [Issue#249, p.76]

    This is fairly unobtrusive for a free to play game, but you might as well stick with Trials Frontier. [Issue#250, p.74]

    This is the best version of Diablo III to date. It feels right, it's hugely addictive and it has the ability to dilate local spacetime like a good ARPG should. [Issue#253, p.65]

    A real screen snapper. [Issue#254, p.75]

    If "Lovecraft inspired" immediately excites you, this is definitely worth a look. [Issue#257, p.79]
