Great fun for pretty much everyone, hardcore and casual gamers included. [July 2008, p.88]

An option for an on-screen keyboard would have been welcome. [Feb 2010, p.83]

How Sega thinks it can get away with this utter detritus is beyond us. [July 2008, p.101]

Shallow, repetitive and just plain odd, Harvest Fishing is definitely a catch and release. [July 2008, p.89]

A fantastic racer and the best online Nintendo game ever. [Apr 2008, p.58]

A highly original RPG that oozes class through the screens and speakers. The unique battle system is a great idea, despite being let down occasionally by iffy controls. [May 2008, p.87]

If you must play Battle of the Bands then rent it - you'll be finished with it after a day. [July 2008, p.79]

No, it's not that much different from last time, but that doesn't stop it being just as much fun. Definitely worth a look. [Aug 2008, p.94]

No, it's not that much different from last time, but that doesn't stop it being just as much fun. Definitely worth a look. [Aug 2008, p.94]

The story is deslightful and has plenty of subtle humour all the way through it. [June 2008, p.70]

If you're after more than ten minutes of distraction, look somewhere else. [May 2008, p.90]

It's a neat cocktail of Castlevania and Metroid - and yes, we realise just how absurd that sounds. [Sept 2008, p.84]

It tries to be different but falls flat on its face. It's repetitive, dull and we doubt that you'd see out the first hour. Avoid. [Sept 2008, p.93]

It's utterly silly, cheesy as hell and only really worth getting for a bit of a laugh with your horror fan friends, yes, but even so it's still alright. [Dec 2008, p.97]

Opoona has a great deal of potential, but it's too frustrating to properly recommend. A missed opportunity. [Aug 2008, p.96]

A flawed but very impressive romp that really puts the DS through its paces. [July 2008, p.78]

This is, in most areas, a brilliant Worms game with great gameplay mechanics, new weapons and nice visuals. But without online it's simply inferior to its DS counterparts. [Apr 2008, p.86]

This has overtaken "Wii Sports" as our favourite tennis experience on the Wii. It's great fun even if you're not a Sega fan, but the lack of online is an insult to Wii gamers. [Apr 2008, p.70]

Easily the best football game on a Nintendo system. It takes a while to get used to the new controls but once you get your head round them, they become second nature. [Mar 2008, p.58]

A mixed bag mangled by repetitive combat and a magic system that could have used a little more thought. But behind its failings is a story that is worth sitting through. [Apr 2008, p.66]

Even looking at it with a cynical eye, it's incredibly hard to fault Brawl. You're going to adore this game. [July 2008, p.62]

The DS once again proves the perfect platform for the real time strategy genre. [Sept 2007, p.88]

Playing the same six mini-games 11 times isn't even remotely enjoyable, especially when you're paying 5 quid per mini-game. [May 2008, p.92]

Some will loathe it and some will love it, although you can be sure that the former will be in the vast majority. [May 2008, p.74]

The unfortunate fact is that Bubble Bobble has been done too many times before. Yes, it's playable and challenging, but it's also old and far too simplistic for hte modern gaming era. [Mar 2007, p.77]

We're putting our foot down. Please Sega, no more 10 year old ports. [Apr 2008, p.81]

Sleuthing is largely irrelevant as the characters keel over whatever you do. [Mar 2008, p.75]
