Still the best golf game out there, but a short list of new extras means it's not worth the cash if you already own "06." [Nov 2006, p.68]

There's plenty to be getting excited about, despite a slight lack of originality and visual finesse. Make no mistake, Dark Athena is first class stealth/action game with a double dose of top-notch entertainment that competently unites elements of "Mirror's Edge" and the "Splinter Cell" series. [Mar 2009, p.84]

Fast, frantic, furious and fun. [Jan 2008, p.99]

Reminds us how great shooters were before Doom and Wolfenstein were rebooted. [June 2017, p.72]

Lego City hits the heights of the very best Lego games, with only a few of the lows. [June 2017, p.75]

A great series addition for fans and newcomers. [Sept 2009, p.79]

The best of the bunch is Oasis, a posh Middle-Eastern hotel complex full of corridors, courtyards, and shining surfaces. This map has a lot in common with the Hotel level from Black Ops, and provides a real treat for fans of modes like Domination, with plenty of pillars and balconies favouring tactical progression over rush-tactics or camping.

Gloriously shallow co-op shooting. [July 2013, p.79]

FIFA is always at its best when the pitch is tilted in the attacking side's favour, and this year's is a peach. It's not the 'true' next-gen FIFA we've been waiting for, but it's as dynamic and thrilling as any entry in the series thus far.

We're happy to sing this game's praises. [Jan 2010, p.113]

Perfectly evokes the brilliant point-and-clicks of old, from the puzzles to the one-liners. [June 2017, p.77]

The Kinect controls for all these activities feel intuitive, accurate, and responsive. Considering the range of gestures, there's impressively little frustration involved.

About as good as non-human poker gets. [July 2013, p.79]

Sure to keep you entertained for hours. [July 2009, p.96]

It may be tough, but Crown of the Sunken King delivers some of the series' best, most intricate level design so far. [Oct 2014, p.96]

Strange, brilliantly original and almost impossible to stop playing until you've solved the puzzle. [June 2017, p.80]

Battlefield 4 hasn't been too stable since launch, but this pack helps. Varied maps and a fun new mode - we like. [Oct 2014, p.97]

Still downright scarier than most of its successors and an unforgettable journey. [March 2015, p.74]

By permitting Traveller's Tales to parody the movies to such an extent, they've allowed the developer to create something above and beyond the standard movie tie-in. [July 2008, p.86]

The puzzles may be easy, but this is a beautiful and genuinely moving ode to childhood. [June 2017, p.84]

Beautifully thought through, has wonderfully coloured and varied levels and crazed bosses. [Mar 2007, p.92]

On top of its game - this is the one to get. [Christmas 2009, p.92]

Fable III is still a great game, but something this brilliant deserves a more considered - and climactic - ending.

One of the best team FPSs to date.

Def Jam Rapstar has the potential to go from very good to great. For now, it's very, very good. [Issue#67, p.89]

A surprisingly fun tie-in that'll keep kids busy.

With an excellent soundtrack, and beautiful [if simple] art direction, The Bridge is a sensory treat. [Christmas 2013, p.103]

This was never going to be the shock hit that the first game was, because we were forewarned of its excellence. While it does suffer a little from the stellar expectations, this huge finale is its own creature, and easily does MercurySteam's saga justice.
