    And still...the undisputed heavyweight champion of MMA games. [May 2016, p.86]

    A propulsively paced romp with a surfeit of ideas, SuperChargers reinvigorates a series that appeared to be on the wane. [Dec 2015, p.77]

    The facts remain - there's nothing quite like this on the Xbox 360 and the series is wildly popular for a very good reason.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An endearing shooter that builds on strong roots to excellent and often hilarious effect. [Issue#184, p.70]

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

    Frustrating shooting is compensated by a sense of freedom and witty writing. [March 2017, p.88]

    Gorgeous and impressively focused for its scale. Ubi's best open-world in years. [May 2017, p.83]

    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    There are rough edges, and a hint of retro, but don't let that put you off a true masterpiece. [Nov 2016, p.77]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Retro action without much new to offer. [July 2009, p.97]

    Enjoyably frenetic war zone action. [July 2011, p.100]

    American Nightmare is good value, but it hints at more than it delivers - a world in which urban myths can come true never materialises in this episode. But that just makes us wonder what Remedy has got in store.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Features like these mean Shattered Dimensions would actually work as a Spidey game even though it's not an open-world swingers' party. It's just a massive shame they're housed in such a linear and grindingly predictable format.

    In the end, the titular journey proves to be far more satisfying than the eventual destination, but so it is with all adventures into outer space in search of unknown powers, right? The success here is how it meshes and moulds so many familiar ideas and motifs, while remaining so alien. [Issue#187, p.87]

    Slower and duller than Episode 1. [Apr 2015, p.79]

    Like all things immoral, this is tremendous fun. Buy it now...No better way of spending 400MP. [Dec 2007, p.109]

    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A lovely, surprisingly clever reinvention of Plants vs Zombies for shooter fans of all ages and persuasions.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The premise could have been taken further. [Oct 2015, p.75]

    Booty's multiplayer oozes longevity. [Nov 2008, p.101]

    A busy, challenging, and intriguing take on the city-building genre. [May 2018, p.86]

    Behind the dreary single-player campaigns is a game that'll provide you with a strong distraction, for as long as other people are playing it.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    TT's most polished game in ages. Just give it a few films before the next one, yeah? [Sept 2016, p.74]

    Tedious puzzles and repetitious level design makes Overlord become very predictable all too quickly. [July 2007, p.90]

    • 80 Critic Score
    It can't match up to its predecessors, but Andromeda is a thrilling adventure nonetheless. [May 2017, p.73]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A game that manages to wrestle some originality out of the point 'n' click genre - with only limited structural problems - while making us laugh in the process, this is an all-too-rare pleasure. [Nov 2014, p.84]

    But Space Marine's key flaw isn't, oddly, that it tramples its brainy heritage to mush. It's that the game doesn't trample hard enough.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A solid bike sim, but one that lacks a bit of atmosphere and excitement.

    Despite some control issues, the game could have been a full retail game rather than a Live Arcade title; it's graphically superior to any xbox or PS2 game, it's not short and it features some innovative mechanics.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We really enjoyed our time with Miss Croft, but it is more of the same and 'dependable' isn't exciting enough. When you take a look at the gaming world around her, you wonder if it isn't time for another re-invention, not of the character, but her universe.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A flawed yet ultimately winning tie-in that serves up the best dinos on Xbox. [Sept 2018, p.72]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Simple ideas knit into a beautiful platformer, if one that's too reliant on a few tricks to earn it essential status. We expect even greater things from Coldwood in the future. [Apr 2016, p.78]
