Nails the atmosphere of the films, but falls horrifically flat in gameplay terms. [Issue#183, p.77]

A decent enough game with a crazy design and the best Xbox Live Vision Camera integration yet, but with a rabbit-sized lifespan. [June 2007, p.90]

Fun for a while, but difficult, repetitive and marred by the controls. [July 2018, p.82]

id Software's take on hell might be a little two-dimensional, but if you don't have the patience for the likes of Dead Space, this should scratch your diabolical itch.

Basic rally racing with some strong track design, but there's little else worthy of note. [Dec 2018, p.88]

The problem that this and indeed any retro shooter has nowadays is Bizarre Creations 2D tour de force, Geometry Wars. Still one of our Xbox Live download favourites, Galaga by comparison is a poor substitute.

Fine combat, badly balanced. [Dec 2012, p.103]

A stunning audio and visual presentation doesn't cover the cracks at the core. [Jan 2018, p.75]

GRAW is brimming with atmosphere, has brilliant, open levels and challenging AI that will put your shooting skills to the test. [April 2006, p.74]

The game plays better with a mouse but this is still the full Sims 4 experience. [Jan 2018, p.80]

Mindless fun, best played with mates. [Christmas 2009, p.104]

Without the sharply deduced cases or clear focus of Crimes & Punishments, Frogwares’ latest is a damp squib of a detective. Though its open-world city has a grimy appeal, and the odd “ah-hah!” moment satisfies, this snoop is sunk by its own uneven, outstretched ambition. [Issue#180, p.77]

In terms of graphics, in terms of variety, in terms of accessibility, it’s a failure on both 360 and PC. Overall, we’re coming down on the side of foolhardy over brave.

A very generous, but slightly broken MMORPG that can't quite stand on the shoulders of the PC-based giants. It does, however, prove that the genre's systems can translate onto consoles intact.

Hits an unexpected sweet spot of Hollywood-style bombastic entertainment. [Dec 2013, p.86]

An energetic, skillful action-platformer that rewards experimentation and practice...but frustrating scenarios encourage neither. The core of a great game is here, but hidden. [Apr 2016, p.83]

Its predecessor had better scares, pace and atmosphere. In short, it was better. [Jan 2008, p.96]

As it is, there's a fundamentally exciting and feature-heavy driving game here, but one burdened just enough by small niggles to bring us down. [Issue#65, p.92]

The Last Remnant is a game the purists can sink their teeth into, and one we hope isn't the 'Last' of its kind.

For a renewed sense of wonder about Kinect, simply play this game. In exactly the same fashion as last year, Rare is at the cutting edge of what the device is capable of and as a result Kinect Sports Season 2 is, yet again, an essential sports game.

Perfect if you can't afford a real dragon. [June 2011, p.103]

A strange concept in an evocative landscape that's in search of a better game. [March 2017, p.89]

It's flawed and frustrating at times, but worth seeing through to the end. [Jan 2017, p.90]

Convoluted levels can lead to tiring exploration. [March 2015, p.82]

A dark and textured tale of love, loss, and lore that's unfortunately over a bit too soon. [July 2018, p.80]

A proper [if short] RPG which perfectly captures the joys of Adventure Time. [October 2018, p.94]

Citizens Of Space’s endless well of enthusiasm makes pointing out these flaws feel like kicking a puppy, but they’re impossible to ignore. It’s not a massive game, but it’s still overly ambitious – the weight of its duff ideas threatens to drown its respectable share of great ones. A leaner, tighter, quieter experience would be easier to love. [Issue#181, p.91]

It's a solid attempt at bringing this sort of game genre to the 360, but it still appears that, much like sleeping with a robot behind your partner's back, controlling an RTS with a joypad will always be a clunky affair.
