Makes us wish it had never been invented. [Sept 2011, p.71]

The very worst kind of lice-infested parrot guano. [Issue#80, p.104]

A very dull, poorly designed 2D platformer that fails to thrill or challenge. [Jan 2009, p.77]

Three and a half hours of scrappy, ugly tower defence. And what's worst is that there's only one in-game music track. In a game about Heavy Metal? Rubbish. [Aug 2012, p.101]

We've never met Josh or Drake, or even seen their TV programme, but after enduring this awful mess of a game we wish we were still completely ignorant of them. [Nov 2007, p.72]

A terminal case. [Sept 2009, p.73]

A massively disappointing wrestle-fest that will leave fans with the taste of stale canvas in their mouths. Not good, basically. [Feb 2008, p.71]
