Eragon bored me almost to tears, and the limp plot utterly failed to keep me pushing on through the pain barrier. [Feb 2007, p.68]

Ditch your standards and enjoy shaping a mediocre world to your will. [Dec 2006, p.105]

A bewigged, flouncing, educational "Rome." Wonderful stuff. [Christmas 2006, p.88]

The stealth adventure genre doesn't get any better than this. [Christmas 2006, p.95]

Filled with impressive engine technology and good fun to boot. Not really designed for grown-ups. [Jan 2007, p.68]

Manages to overcome its many flaws with an inspiring warmth. [Christmas 2006, p.100]

NWN2 is the sequel we've been waiting for. With the graphical and systematic changes to give bedroom RPG makers a boost, and a solid single-player campaign to play through while we wait to see what they can do, it's hard to think of anyone who could be disappointed with the contents of this box. [Dec 2006, p.102]

Engaging enough, but where's the innovation that the franchise so badly needs? [Christmas 2006, p.93]

The amount of content, features and the fact it's still free of subscriptions makes Guild Wars Nightfall a great MMORPG title. [Jan 2007, p.69]

If you want an RPG or an MMO, you can do better. Greater focus might have saved this shambles from total mediocrity. [Feb 2007, p.62]

An outstanding experience. It manages to create a constant sense of threat, includes some stunning set-pieces, and introduces a cast of breathtaking beasts, all within a combat system that is one of the most versatile and violent we have ever seen. [Dec 2006, p.98]

The film tie-in adds interest, but it's too linear and we've seen it all before. [Nov 2006, p.102]

A less than appealing rehash of an uninspiring game. [Christmas 2006, p.104]

Solid, satsifying violence, but look elsewhere for genuine terror. [Christmas 2006, p.104]

Solid and full of promise, but it never quite delivers the goods. [Christmas 2006, p.96]

Brilliant, human-chewing fun if you like lots of blood and dismembered bodies, with some puzzle-led misiony stuff thrown in. [Feb 2007, p.67]

Inevitably anticlimactic. But there are a few smiles within. [Dec 2006, p.115]

Such ordinariness only reinforces the nagging sense that this is the same game with bits bolted on. That's always the case with Battlefield games, but this time it's too little, too soon. [Dec 2006, p.110]

Fun and accessible, but should've been named "Railroads Lite." [Christmas 2006, p.103]

There are no real uprisings to be found in THe Warchiefs' colonies. [Christmas 2006, p.102]

Big on detail in theory, but slow and heavy in practice. [Deluxe Edition; Christmas 2006, p.98]

There's a vast array of technologies to research and build, but the true joy lies in lovingly crafting your empire, species and ships. [Apr 2007, p.73]

Just don't blame us for the clumsy controls, dodgy camera angles and ultra-frustrating gameplay. [Sept 2006, p.104]

Ambitious and complex throughout, but lacking the fun factor. [Dec 2006, p.109]

It's a good golf game, admittedly, but it's also unnecessarily ugly. [Dec 2006, p.108]

An ace expansion to an already ace RTS. Essential for fans. [Christmas 2006, p.102]

Not awful, but there's not enough crack in the world to choose it over "GTA." [Christmas 2006, p.101]

Generic online gaming with a single, barely attainable good idea. [Christmas 2006, p.100]
