    • 50 Critic Score
    A tiresome Diablo pretender that's somewhat elevated by a fangs-sharp script. [March 2018, p.80]

    A sub-par game that hasn't aged well. [Sept 2010, p.103]

    • 40 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    You'd do better to get Kinect Sports instead. [Feb 2011, p.99]

    • 33 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's such an empty, floating and bewildering mess that it's impossible to enjoy. [Issue#67, p.103]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Not quite evolved enough, sadly. [Feb 2010, p.112]

    • 50 Critic Score
    Lacking tension, variety and punctuation, Blade Kitten is a pretty cutscene sandwich with no filling. [Issue#66, p.101]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Raven simply doesn't understand how logic in point-and-click games works. [Feb 2014, p.87]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A game that's playing very hard to get. [Feb 2011, p.99]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A poor excuse of an FPS makes for an adequate, if pointless, adaptation of a sport better experienced in the real world. [April 2006, p.92]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Good ideas are drowned out by a confusing story and frustrating controls. [Sept 2017, p.72]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Nails the atmosphere of the films, but falls horrifically flat in gameplay terms. [Issue#183, p.77]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Speeder Bikes are unresponsive to the point of fury, and the one-on-one duels don't respond to your attacks in anywhere near as satisfying a way as the exploding droids. The assault courses are fine, but easily rehearsed, and there's nothing in this game that convinces me that anyone making it thought it was actually a good idea. There are flashes of inspiration that make it genuinely likeable - but it fails, and hard, as a forty pound game.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Breakpoint is huge and meaty, but fundamental flaws suck most of the fun out of it. [Issue#184, p.65]

    It's business as usual for dear old Sonic. Which isn't necessarily a very good thing. [Jan 2018, p.82]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An intriguing premise with flawed execution. But what does it all mean? [Issue#181, p.85]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A sorry mess at the time of launch, but worth persisting with if you’re a series fan. [Issue#184, p.73]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A belated hit-and- myth successor to a SNES cult classic that doesn’t quite hit its mark. [Issue#181, p.79]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Waters down the Sacred formula until it has no taste at all. You'll spill more grey matter than you'll actually use playing it.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, there are two key aspects of the Lego games that The Infinity Gauntlet fails to emulate: their sense of humour and their lifespan.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A promising start for the Bat. If only it didn't run like a dog. Telltale: sort it out for part two. [Oct 2016, p.94]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Beautiful graphics do not a good game make. [Oct 2006, p.104]
    • 50 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Badly scripted, plotted and acted. [Nov 2007, p.90]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Less "more of the same" and more "less good." [May 2012, p.95]
