Strict linearity kills all fun in this yet-another-untold-story from Star Wars universe. Nice physics features soon become boring and Kratos can sleep at his throne undisturbed. [Issue#186]

Heroes of Might & Magic III HD works as a cure for blinded fans of Ubisoft. The sole purpose of the game is to pull money from gamers. [Issue#250]

How can someone forget to add online multiplayer to game based on the competitiveness of a player we don't understand. The equation with this game is simple, more players = more fun. [Issue#190]

Nicely done sport simulation scores with its true Olympics atmosphere and thanks to its online mode game will last long. [Issue#220]

Rememoried is an interactive answer to the question whether the games can be considered an art. Maybe you’ll go astray, but you'll get strong feelings from the game. [Issue#256]

You can finish the game in six to eight hours, and that's just about the perfect amount of time. Even so, later enemies rely on unfair advantages to surprise you, the game gets increasingly linear and isn't shy about sprinkling obscene amounts of enemies onto the screen. [Issue#322]

Successful and addictive hack-and-slash title piece lacks better level design and perhaps a bit more challenge for experienced players to achieve a higher score. [Issue#204]

While the game builds on the legacy of its previous installments, it also repeats old mistakes. Only for the tolerant camp of the series' hardcore fans. [Issue#245]

Polished platformer suited for younger audiences due to its low difficulty. [Issue #240]

The graphics are as nice as you can get with Minecraft. The animals are cute, the scenery plays with all the colours and the whole thing is supported by the unobtrusive music. Overall, then, it's a very simplistic strategy game where building bases and managing an army is fun, but it loses its breath very quickly, to its own detriment. [Issue#327]

Licensed product with great career mode sounds promising. Weird car behavior and obsolete visuals ruin your motivation from the very first loading of the game. [Dec 2010]

You can find a lot of educational value in this simulation, but as entertainment, it just doesn’t work – it's more edutainment than a game. [Jan 2013]

Unconventional hero and more than enough old planes together with multiplayer option make this arcade shooter a good choice for parties. [Issue#207]

A fresh look at the genre that also doesn’t lose sight of the key basics that make a great adventure game. [Issue#238]

This interesting and funny arcade game mixes a couple of genres together and offers a fast-paced multiplayer option. [Oct 2012]

Easy and entertaining adrenaline run for score and chain-kills is fast paced but short. It shows what happens when you change series motto "Survive!" to simple "Kill!". [Issue#207]

Racing arcade full of nicely designed shortcuts and weapons is focused mostly to youngest audience because of its low difficulty setting. [Issue#208]

If you have a small child, Juju will be a great fun. But its simplicity and lack of motivation will kill the interest of any older player. [Issue#249]

Couple of bright ideas suffocated by average presentation. Dracula 3 comes with nice graphics but puzzles are a bit too difficult, the world is empty, and the story is anything but attractive. [Oct 2008]

Sherlock took a few long steps away from the adventure toward the action gaming again. Although someone might actually like this change, fans of the original game won’t be satisfied. [Issue#265]

Classical gameplay is wonderfully revived with new features and dressed in a modern jacket. Unfortunately, technical aspects and other issues undermine the game's legs. [Issue#252]

Lame voice cast destroys the atmosphere of this traditional adventure game. But there are some catching moments which make Puritas Cordis worth playing...pity there are only a few of those moments. [July 2009]

One of the few FPS for Wii that has suitable controls and offers traditional entertainment. Big action hits on other platforms are still miles ahead though. [Issue#204]

Ice-Pick Lodge attacks again with a strange game what brings an unexpected pleasure of building your own vehicles, exploring the surreal world with reflection on the past and the future of the world. [June 2011]

Same situation, same mistakes all over again – Phantasy Star will bore you with stereotypical missions during the first hour of gameplay... and will not stop until you give up. [May 2009]

Flying helicopters in Apache Air Assault is fun in multiplayer only. You will not enjoy much the outdated graphics and repetitive tasks in the missions otherwise. [Issue#200]

Beautiful Californium is designed for anyone who just wants to escape anywhere from reality. Philip Kindred Dick would be proud. [Issue#262]

Empty and almost useless game offers little reason to try it, even for a weekend player – despite the fact that the basic version is free. [Apr 2012]

A lot of good ideas and interesting concepts are run down by a poor execution that crushes the dooms the game to a grey average, where it will be probably forgotten for eternity. [Issue#293]

Entirely a typical adventure game with attractive time shifting. Strong story can fill parts of the game which are somehow …hollow. [Nov 2008]

Neat adventure game won’t get you on your knees but will let you spend a couple of enjoyable hours – and maybe inspire where you spend your next holiday. [Feb 2010]

The competition exceeds this utterly unnecessary game in all aspects. Meatless games are not a main course anymore. [March 2012]

Another piece from the endless line of Japanese RPGs which fails to fulfill the high expectations of its fans. [Issue#189]

Great visuals. Wooden stick launcher. Dull and short campaign. No-brain enemies. Boring multiplayer. Cons and pros accounted for: not worthy. [Jan 2013]

New installment to the popular horror series surprisingly discourages the gamers by an extremely slow opening. Those who get over the first few boring hours will be rewarded greatly — music, atmosphere, puzzles, boss fights are fantastic as usual. [Feb 2009]

Technically brilliant "update" of the famous arcade shooter ruins its image with crappy controls and too much roaming through the confusing corridors. [July 2010]

At first sight gorgeous and sophisticated platformer game, then you realize half of the game is made by unfair and frustrating gameplay. Although it lasts only three hours, you will get angry like it was a much longer title. [Issue #271]

Surprisingly you can find way better games in this segment – Prince is quite a boring adventure with inaccurate controls. A potential was there but unfortunately was... wasted. [Issue#174, Jan 2009]

Due to its lower difficulty this adventure piece is suitable for casual gamers. During the game you come across a variety of pleasant puzzles and interesting ideas but they are recycled too much in the second half unfortunately. [Issue#252]

Plain shooter as if it came from arcade slots. Some jagged edges would deserve to smoothen, but for fans of the genre it is a pleasant experience. [Issue#266]

Excellently crafted game, that is, unfortunately, far from its potential. Flat gameplay and short playing time don´t outweigh otherwise above average game environment with a great eye for detail. [Issue#266]

Worthwhile, datapack brings four new campaigns, extra mode and one angry, little girl. Lack of multiplayer is one of the greatest disappointments in Uprising. [Apr 2009]

Nice compilation of arcade sports with famous Nintendo characters shows its best in tactical basketball and wild hockey. [Issue#201]

The game has an original setting and at first attractive environment. Unfortunately for players, millions of years are truly dragging, and the sluggish gameplay makes the struggle for survival a struggle for your own sanity. [Issue#298]

Interesting retro action with a satirical touch is damaged by rapidly emerging stereotypical playability. [March 2012]

Dark middle-ages feel, excellent dialogues and stylish graphics would not put The Abbey above average adventure games. But The Name of the Rose-inspired story makes this experience remarkable. [Oct 2008]

Slightly simplified mode to the current FIFA 12 brings a complete Euro championship, couple of online modes and a bit of useless Expedition mode. [May 2012]

The game does not offend, but also doesn´t inspire. If it had more original content, it would certainly receive a more positive feedback. Therefore, it is only an average game. [Issue#302]

You can admire the complexity and new ideas in Restaurant Empire 2, like cafés or patisseries but you can’t deny the confusing controls and the fact it soon gets repetitive and boring. [Aug 2009]

The third Breed comes with some unresolved troubles from its predecessors – tedious gameplay is accompanied with a troublemaking camera. Fix it and you'll finally have a flawless shooter. [Issue#199]

Connection to the Sid Meier's Civilization is just fake, this game doesn’t even offer any strategic orgies. Lower your expectations and you can have some fun making war not love... That counts, right? [Issue#251]

A great disappointment is this Poor-Blood Prince. Typical appendage to a blockbuster movie which has no ambitions other than to be on shelves on time before Potter-mania expires. An average game in all aspects. [Aug 2009]

Interesting concept unfortunately runs out of fuel within the first hour or two, and then you are left with a repetitive, often painfully sadistic gameplay. [Issue#266]

Modernization of C&C series in the Electronic Arts way is mostly the extracting of all parts that were functional and entertaining. R.I.P. Command & Conquer. [Issue#190]

If you're a keen crisis manager, you won't have a problem with this, but otherwise you can get lost in managing everything. Just when you feel like the crisis isn't so hot, that you can balance the demands of all classes, and even food is plentiful, something goes wrong. [Issue#320]

SEGA had decided to rebuild their famous mob saga into a zombie shooter with unsurprising results. The story is the only reason to try the new Yakuza. The other parts are just trash. [May 2012]

Visually beautiful trip to the ruined space station, which unfortunately gets boring soon. You won´t be killed by lack of oxygen, but mainly by boredom and frustration from the lack of content. [Issue#263]

It should be labeled: "only for core fans“. Third installment of Van Helsing is not entirely bad, but it’s average and completely misses its mark..

Stylish and most of the time entertaining as well, this carnage from the mind of a well known weirdo designer Suda 51 doesn't bring anything new to the table, except for its bizarre aesthetics that may or may not suit you. [Issue#234]

The pace is pleasant and combat is certainly not the only thing that the colourful and at times truly breathtaking environment has to offer. Each of the six usable weapons not only has its own attack and special utilitarian ability, but also awesome voice acting, distorted personality and brilliantly wacky design. [Issue#325]

Huge and extremely ambitious strategy with exceptional attention to detail. In other words this is not a game for common gamers – it consumes great amounts of time and requires absolute attentiveness. [Issue#208]

A simple game that relies too much on game and cinematographic nostalgia. But if you’ll be in the mood for this form and content, you will be slapping people for three or four hours with a smile on your face. [Issue#288]

Crazy as hell Necrovision brings a new perspective to the events of World War One. Strictly a linear action shooter excels with an unconventional set of weapons and frantic boss fights. Unfortunately, the graphics don't match the extreme HW requirements. [Feb 2009]

King's Bounty II fails in all the essential aspects, that the game wants to offer players as a representative of the turn-based strategy / RPG genre. Every good element is deservedly punished and the final product simply doesn´t work well.

The “real” Indy would never let an audience fall to boredom. Repetitive and tedious whip-and-slash game excels in graphics but lacks in more attractive opponents and missions. Not to mention some camera related issues.

Addictive fight for power in between “famiglias” Godfather II is a long term attraction. Unfortunately, this game is smart and entertaining but at the same time it’s rather ugly. In other words: nice fights, good story, real feel on one side, unsightly graphics, plain locations, repetitive mission on the other side. [Apr 2009]

Another Alien Breed remake results in another failure. What was great back in the Amiga-times is missing and a remake is just a boring and repetitious shooter with a small variety of enemies in uniform environments. [Issue#197]

Great idea and interesting story background are flawed by a lame realization, repeating puzzles and sometimes too high difficulty in this Zelda-like game. [Issue # 261]

This horror game does evoke feelings of dread, despair, futility and hopelessness, but not quite in the way it wants to. [Issue#322]

Average in all means. On first sight it looks like a kids adventure but then it slides to adult tuning. Permanent loading is irritating almost the same as the in-game “German” humor. [Dec 2008]

Russian-made real-time strategies are at the top in visual presentation. Unfortunately, it means they are nice to watch but a pain to play - confusing and chaotic with lame controls. [Sept 2009]

Death Spank is still the action figure you love to have at your birthday party. He is quite funny but is obviously slowly heading towards retirement. [Oct 2011]

If there were any noteworthy singleplayer campaign Worldshift could be an almost flawless game. Unfortunately the one player part is a tedious mission-to-mission experience. High score for this game comes only for excellent multiplayer variability. [Oct 2008]

Standalone add-on cannot cover that Disciples are no match to reborn Might and Magic series. If you are a devoted fan you will probably appreciate longer playtime and the few improvements. [Christmas 2011]

The spirit of game has somehow vanished during the process of conversion from the original console. Crucial problems are PSP controls which can't compare to the comfort of joypad. [Issue#199]

Inventive “green” strategy game with procedural generated graphics helps all those who need relieve of stress and relax. [Issue#187]

Midi soundtrack and painful playlist make no motivation for players to give this game a chance. Cool controls can’t save it all. [Issue#173]

Smart platformer offers an interesting story and an intense atmosphere unfortunately, it also comes with frustrating parts and is overall short. [Christmas 2012]

ReCore has a lot of strengths but also weaknesses. Great platforming hides an empty world and boring fights. The technical aspect of the game also does not help, occasionally even frustrates. [Issue #268]

A captivating trip to a mountain hotel with a surprise is perfectly written and directed. Suicide of Rachel Foster is short but impressive walking simulator. [Issue#302]

Remarkable adventure shows how the world could end after the next global war and its catching story lets you (most of time) forget about the obsolete visuals.

Defrosted sequel to the first Lost Planet brings new and interesting jungle environment to the scene. Unfortunately, the sidekick bots are not-so-smart and are awkward to control. [Dec 2010]

A couple of fresh ideas and living environments makes this matter slightly above average. Do not expect a long lasting experience, just short term fun. [Apr 2009]

Nice boss battles and time-related features cannot compensate for the lack of fresh ideas, absence of story and or useless shooting. [July 2012]

Conventional tactical action game that addresses players who prefer strict rules of team cooperation, a fast and dynamic action game of a modern era. [Apr 2009]

An attempt to make an alternative to Civilization that failed because of not finishing its ideas and old technology. An unstable and buggy game with a lousy artificial intelligence won’t be interesting, even if it is signed by a great designer. [Issue#293]

Blood Stone counts on the story and right movie feel, together with fast paced variable action to cover up its repetitive playability. One must say that it works well most the time. [Dec 2010]

Totally conventional, corridor straight mech-shooter surprises with many twists and monumental boss fights. Mech modularity adds a strategic touch to otherwise plain playability. [Issue#197]

Original and interesting concept is buried deep under confusing micromanagement system and poor visuals. Only a few experts would evaluate its potential. [Issue#200]

Extremely slow-paced strategy game sacrifices all the fun and features to economic complexity what –at the end– doesn’t work that well. [Issue#257]

A totally unnecessary reboot. Not to say the game isn't fun. It is. Again, it's pure escapism that exists just so you can fool around with a bunch of weapons and vehicles and not have to think about it. The problem is that previous installments have done the same thing - and infinitely better. [Issue#322]

The experiment in the form of the DioField Chronicle didn't go particularly well. It's interesting to explore and see how far the player can go, but the barriers set by the authors are too limiting. As are the terrible controls on PC. [Issue#322]

More puzzles, even more crazy cases. Puzzle Agent 2 successfully balances between horror and Monty Python style of humor. Better play the first part before – lots of connections to previous game here. [Issue#207]

Old school playability, sweet graphics on one hand, and a way too short lifespan on the other. Retro is maybe on, but there are a lot of better titles to try. [Issue#192]

All around a very mediocre gangster strategy game. Its greatest strengths are its greatest problems crowned with way too much repetition and unbalanced difficulty. [Issue#309]

A shooter that tastes like a McDonald's hamburger. It won't offend you, but it's nothing that would stand out. The only things that excel are its impressive weapons and four pals cooperation. [Issue#231]

Sounds beautiful, looks beautiful, sometimes plays well, but otherwise it‘s form over content. [Issue#302]

Third time's the Charm – first time it was XBLA Hydrophobia, then the game was released again as Pure and now we've got Prophecy. Enough tries we say. [July 2011]
