    Until EA decides it's going to port the 'next-gen' versions, it's sports titles, such as NBA Live 08, are always going to be a huge disappointment. [Christmas 2007, p.67]

    More an evolution than a revolution, but it certainly has enough new features to drag you back in. [Christmas 2007, p.62]

    Unfortunately, what with this being a simulator, the faster you go, the more difficult the flying becomes. [Christmas 2007, p.67]

    When you factor in the poor translation, the stupid difficulty and the poor controls it's as much fun as the black death. Hard to be a good game, more like. [Apr 2008, p.115]

    So bog-standard it's positively peaty, and more buggy than a pram warehouse. [July 2008, p.113]

    There is little new here that would make you choose this over the demonstrably superior games from Creative Assembly. [July 2007, p.72]

    United they stand, divided they fall doesn't apply. Each game stands alone as an example of inspired design. Together they are essential. [Dec 2007, p.94]

    One of the most fun puzzle games since "Bookworm Adventures." [Jan 2008, p.74]

    Functional graphics belie an exciting and sophisticated racing title with plenty of under-the-bonnet tweaks, since last year's effort. [Dec 2007, p.60]

    While Thrillville is decent, disposable fun for kids, anyone in their teens will want more depth. [Christmas 2007, p.68]

    A rewarding, exciting and technically proficient shooter that encourages imaginative and varied play. Recommended. [Dec 2007, p.52]

    A solid, if unspectacular hack and slasher. If you're looking for colourful, mindless fantasy action, this is yer man. [Oct 2007, p.56]

    It's the same old game with prettier graphics and a half-decent story. Settlers-heads will love it, but best wait for it to appear on budget. [Nov 2007, p.52]

    Another masterpiece from the folks at Massive, and one of the most beautiful visions of warfare you're ever likely to see. [Oct 2007, p.30]

    With the combat interminably dull and the story unintelligibly delivered, this isn't the triumphant return of the space shooter we'd hoped for. [Dec 2007, p.62]

    Exciting as this may sound, it's based on design and an engine that conspire to make Hunting Unlimited 2008 uniformly atrocious, with dull footprint-following, animals often running tight circles around you, and the awful voice over chap talking about how 'pumped' he is that he shot something in the head.

    Give it a go when it's come down in price if you're desperate to have the new rosters, otherwise stick with 07. [Nov 2007, p.56]

    Traditional FPS, but it still feels fresh - only the WWII setting and theme tune reveals this is another Medal of Honor game. [Nov 2007, p.46]

    A paragon of single-player, story-driven gaming that outdoes "Deus Ex," "STALKER," and even "HL2." Taste the air, and smell the fear. [Oct 2007, p.52]
