Massive, rubbish but strangely compelling. [Feb 2011, p.94]

As good as ever, but no better.

Unfortunately, there are two key aspects of the Lego games that The Infinity Gauntlet fails to emulate: their sense of humour and their lifespan.

We're actually more fond of how The UnderGarden looks and sounds than how it plays.

If you can demonstrate a bit of self-control, though, or better yet actually risk failure by limiting the number of continues you get in the menus, this is definitely one of the better sidescrollers around.

Red Dead's outstanding DLC in a box. Simple as.

Unnecessary multiplayer aside, Dead Space 2 is a corker. It's an unpredictable powder-keg of [a] game; even when you get mulched by the Necromorphs it's great to see just how many chunks your corpse has been blown into. [Feb 2011, p.88]

If you're in any way nostalgic about the original Jam games, at this price it's a slam dunk.

A total snooze cruise of a car combat game.

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

Clunky, frustrating and irrelevant.

But if you want to lose weight, and your mind throws a fog of delusion and twisted justifications in your path, then the numbers and tips of The Biggest Loser might just break that spell.

Venetica is a neat idea for an RPG hamstrung by an engine that can't do the maths quick enough and some terrible production values.

The result is that the game's flow shudders and starts - a ponderous affair punctuated by sudden bouts of extremely messy and imprecise combat.

The best fitness title on the Xbox 360.

Despite niggles, Apache: Air Assault manages to walk a fine line between po-faced simulation and Desert Strike-esque explosive arcade fun.

Sure to drag your party in a depressingly non-sexy direction. You'd have an edgier evening playing Monopoly.

While in no way essential, there's worse you could do with your money... [Issue#65, p.104]

It's such an empty, floating and bewildering mess that it's impossible to enjoy. [Issue#67, p.103]

Madden 11 is without a doubt the best American football game on the Xbox 360. [Issue#65, p.85]

As long as you're not expecting to have your plus-fours blown off, you'll find this to be a diverting downloadable game. [Issue#67, p.101]

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]

While it's a quick-fix burst of fun, the fact SkyHeroes is a kids' game isn't an excuse to be this shallow. [Issue#66, p.98]

The best thing that can be said about ProStroke Golf...is that you can speed through a game pretty efficiently. [Issue#65, p.97]

A distinctly Japanese take on an irrevocably inscrutable cultural milestone, grab it from your nearest bargain bin for those sniggersome one-liners alone. [Issue#67, p.101]

It's an error to think of Fatal Conspiracy as a game. That creates an expectation of fun - a level on which CSI doesn't try to deliver. [Issue#67, p.103]

For all its radial menus and console-friendly UI, Spellbound simply hasn't managed to make Gothic work in a console environment. [Issue#66, p.85]

Flesh and Blood is compelling in its own unhappy way, but this is far from a horror essential. [Issue#67, p.101]
