Trespasser has a little more sentiment than substance, but it's still a good last outing for your Inquisitor. [Dec 2015, p.91]

It's still frantic bite-sized arcade action. [Dec 2013, p.91]

When Battlefield 3 received a set of heavy armour maps and another set of close-quarters infantry maps, that was a revolution. Black Ops 2's Revolution is a step in the right direction, but a small one.

Often entertaining but occasionally a bit of a slog. [Aug 2015, p.90]

A delightful, violent sandbox occasionally hobbled by so-so missions. [Sept 2018, p.84]

Surprisingly addictive movie trivia quiz.

Sure, the levels are all much of a muchness, and despite the variety of game modes, it can get samey. But the persistent online game - a fight for Dark Matter between Paladins (humans) and Valiants (aliens) - adds long-term appeal, and once you've mastered its quirks, it's an absolute blast in small doses.

A scrum-ptious morsel for Rugby nuts. [Oct 2011, p.100]

Ultimately, how much enjoyment you take will depend on whether you fall in love with the cartoonish characters and if you're willing to accept the ridiculous, convoluted plot. Darksiders is well made and passes the time, but it just lacks that 'wow' factor which would elevate it to greatness. There are far too many moments that you'll have seen a hundred times before.

This is actually an evolution, in that Evolution involves random mutations that aren't always beneficial.

It's an undeniable blast in co-op. [May 2015, p.90]

Another intense Blazkowicz adventure - but a little over familiar. [July 2015, p.74]

Flashy and frantic brawler hamstrung only by its devotion to online co-op. [Aug 2016, p.79]

We can't wait to see what next year holds. [Dec 2012, p.97]

It has far too many rough edges. [May 2015, p.93]

By turns brilliant and infuriating, this falls just short of being a score-chasing classic. [Aug 2016, p.80]

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.

Unapologetically rugged retro-romp where every inch of progress is cause to break out the celebration cake. Not for the faint of heart, but in the short term, it's a pleasing challenge for the faint of wallet.

Each of the three play styles - stealth, gadgets and guns - become tedious if you doggedly stick with where your skill points have been spent. But if you're able to keep changing your style, and can forgive the attention-breaking idiocy of the enemies, you'll see there's potential here for a great sequel and series.

Enjoyable anime nonsense robot attack. [Oct 2011, p.103]

Lobsters should be invited to every party. [Dec 2012, p.7]

A few action-related missteps don't stop this being a decent first season. [Feb 2017, p.86]

Not quite worthy of its dev pedigree, but there's enough here to keep our tails wagging. [Nov 2016, p.73]

A surprise - a likeable and entertaining family game that throws up the occasional tough challenge. [Sept 2011, p.102]

More of the same great game, but it's time for an upgrade. Bring on Fallout 5. [Aug 2016, p.88]

Meanwhile the wafer-thin story is told through ugly, badly acted cartoons that spoil the carefully presented atmosphere.

A great classic with a few flaws. [March 2013, p.85]

Full of imagination, but you'll need a will of steel to get through its toughest trials. [Aug 2016, p.80]
