If Costume Quest is a success, it's because it looks cute, it's instantly appealing, and it's very funny. But it's not a very good game. [Issue#66, p.88]

Struggling with the camera ruins the imaginative ideas at the core of this Lego installment. [May 2017, p.88]

Obscure, irritating and redeemed a little only by its addictiveness and the variety of the Bionicles that you control. [Christmas 2006, p.98]

Loss of (creative) control. [Mar 2010, p.96]

You're expected to know who these characters are, you're expected to know why certain plot twists are a big deal and you're expected to be excited when a character from Zeta Gundam interacts with one from Turn-A Gundam.

Another cheap money-spinner. [Nov 2007, p.107]

Where the mild things are. [Feb 2010, p.111]

Too punishing to recommend. [Mar 2011, p.100]

It's all very limited and mind-numbingly repetitive - but the game's also challenging. [July 2007, p.105]

A decent but unremarkable game, tied to a wan Lovecraftian setting.

A bot-standard, rusty platformer for kids. [Sept 2008, p.86]

Annoying rather than quirky and appealing. [Apr 2008, p.99]

Hit The Mitts shows you what Zuffa could have done - a mini-game that reacts well to your punches.

There's promise but The Technomancer just can't get away from well-worn genre conventions. [Sept 2016, p.84]

Beware the caustic pink mist of nostalgia. [Apr 2013, p.81]

The few saving graces offered by the inclusion of a scrotum-seeking pooch do little to alleviate the more fundamental problems the game faces as a third person shooter. Dead to Rights: Retribution is a load of balls in exactly the way Volatile Games didn't intend.

Not as special as it thinks it is. [Apr 2013, p.89]

The career mode is a repetitive series of unlocked events and the addition of an extremely rudimentary Trick Battle mode doesn't do much to break the tedium. At the very most, this is no more than an afternoon's entertainment.

Existing fans feel free - newcomers, beware. [Apr 2013, p.89]

A fun party game with limited appeal.

Button-mashing action without depth. [Christmas 2010, p.93]

It's abysmal in singleplayer, elevating itself to merely dull and forgettable in co-op and multiplayer. Welcome to a zombie game that's as lifeless and ragged as its primary antagonists.

A glaring oversight. The turtles all differ, but there's no multiplayer option in the game, either in the main adventure or a separate mode. [May 2007, p.92]

A jack of all military trades that could have been master of one. [July 2017, p.79]

Bang goes the potential. [Sept 2012, p.103]

Not a patch on the big screen version. [Jan 2010, p.115]

More bogus than Bogart, White Night fuses the disparate worlds of cultured noir and trashy supernatural. The result? An inconsistent – if visually striking – trudge. A true hammy horror.

Can't compete with "Elite" or "Colony Wars." [July 2010, p.103]
