Short and sweet, a throwback to the old days when you can pick up a game, play it and engage in some brainless, mindless fun. As a videogame, it has its flaws but as an example of big, dumb fun, you won't find any game that does it better. [Oct 2007, p.74]

MotoGP 08, like Casey Stoner's Ducati, isn't quite as staggeringly fast as last year's model, but it's still a great bike racer. It also lacks some of the shine and party atmosphere that the fantastic THQ MotoGP series had.

Creature In The Well is a hectic joy to play, and the unlikely genre fusion works astonishingly well. Maybe someone should try that ice cream burger after all. [Issue#183, p.79]

Not quite the epic journey into the unknown we were hoping for, mostly thanks to poor writing and a reliance on XP farming, but a treasure trove of single and multiplayer adventures nonetheless.

A kracking kollection of new kontent for a fine fighting game. Kommendable! [May 2016, p.88]

Pac-Man made better. [Feb 2011, p.103]

A smartly turned-out squad-based cover shooter, not to mention an authentic-feeling and authentic-looking period piece, The Bureau might not be as good as Enemy Unknown, but it certainly has a style and a charm of its own. The years of development hell have been worth it.

Still struggles with technical problems, but the gameplay is tight, tense and tactical. [Dec 2018, p.80]

A purer, tougher survival game for the core. [Feb 2014, p.95]

This is very much a single-player pick, and the game Terminator wishes it could be.

A short and sweet space adventure – just don’t stick around after the credits roll. [Issue#181, p.88]

It's difficult to describe a game with so many choices and different paths, but making them all feel meaningful is what Dragon's Age excels at. Complex it may be, but it's more focused than Fable II, better in combat than Mass Effect, and richer than The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. If you've got the patience, it's a cracker.

The best band tie-in to date. [June 2009, p.79]

Surprisingly slick with excellent online play.

It’s the perfect fan service addition to the Ghostbusters canon, and regardless of the all-female reboot or upcoming Ghostbusters 2020, this still stands up as that ‘third film’. The fact that it’s also a very good game frankly makes our toaster dance. [Issue#184, p.82]

It's a blood-soaked love letter to the original series but hauls everything else up to date, making it a tasty treat for newcomers and a nine-course medieval banquet for fans.

Superbly tactile, and with that track generator this is the sign of a racer done right. [Sept 2017, p.76]

It’s a familiar template that The Outer Worlds builds itself around, but the depth and wit within its universe invites you ever-deeper. There’s social commentary and late-stage capitalism gallows humour all over the place, but it’s the richness of its imagined future that really holds the attention. [Issue#184, p.84]

Old-school Sega fans will be in heaven. [Apr 2009, p.91]

Haunting, amazing, but not for everybody.

Fast-paced murderous squash, with a surprising amount of depth and funky beats. [Issue#181, p.87]

An endearing shooter that builds on strong roots to excellent and often hilarious effect. [Issue#184, p.70]

A must buy then, but only if the price is right.

Lost Odyssey's heritage is enough to make it great. [Apr 2008, p.92]

On occasion, what no doubt seemed like a crazy-cool idea down the pub just didn't work well in practice (spirit death-defying in particular) and fun has taken the edge off challenge, but you'd have to be an extremist alien sympathiser not to thoroughly enjoy Prey from the moment it sucks you into its viscera to the moment it squeezes you out again.

It'd suit the adversarial nature of this review if I came out of DW8 feeling as stubbornly indifferent as I have the last few games. But annoyingly, this is the first time Dynasty Warriors has made me want to play on.

Trine’s brand of puzzle platforming returns to form in this colourful yet challenging sequel. [Issue#184, p.87]

The facts remain - there's nothing quite like this on the Xbox 360 and the series is wildly popular for a very good reason.
