    Robotron is a good game to riff off, but there's only so many waves of bullets that you can avoid before you give in and go and do something more interesting instead. [June 2010, p.101]

    They're not perfect, but these beloved characters are definitely in capable hands. [June 2010, p.100]

    A great little shooter, and one that could well give Valve a run for its money. [June 2010, p.90]

    A simple but entertaining take on the game of golf, if you don't pay for it. A shallow meaningless farce if you do. [June 2010, p.98]

    This is one of the most original indie games we've seen in ages. A one-trick pony it may be, but what a trick it is. [June 2010, p.94]

    It's the presentation and numerous glitches that let it down. [June 2010, p.101]

    I can't think of any game recently that's got me so hooked on insane combat. Step aside GTA, you're about to be overtaken. [May 2010, p.91]

    City builder with a hint of speed-chess. The intense micromanaging aspect won't be for everyone, but it's tough not to like. [May 2010, p.98]

    Jump straight into the multiplayer and you'll have a great time without having to wait around, but ignore the single player. [May 2010, p.96]

    Incredible looking with atmosphere you could cut with a butcher's knife, but survival becomes frustration too often. [May 2010, p.94]

    More of the same, but it's a good same, and it's an essential purchase if you're a fan of the first game at all. [June 2010, p.96]

    If you're after something laid-back but enjoyable you could do far, far worse. [June 2010, p.101]

    An excellent expandalone that irons out many of the original's flaws and adds some welcome variation to the equation. [June 2010, p.97]

    It wants to be like the classic survival-horror games of old, and to be fair it does feel like it's at least a decade out of date and being played on a 386. [July 2010, p.101]

    A worthy sequel with all the parkour fun and swashbuckling joy of the original, and a bunch more game for your money. [Apr 2010, p.88]

    Modern Warfare 2 is a far more complete package, but DICE proves that it's the master of true multiplayer warfare. [Apr 2010, p.92]

    The DRM alone could sink this sim, but the core Carrier Command-style gaming is worth the battle. [May 2010, p.99]

    Challenging, refined and exciting, this is the new RTS benchmark. Just don't expect to tank rush your way through it. [Apr 2010, p.90]

    The dullest and most befuddling AAA Hollywood-endorsed title I've ever played. [Apr 2010, p.94]

    Looks rather simple, but is in fact very deep. [Apr 2010, p.101]

    They may seem like fairly minor tweaks, but what's changed in this sequel makes for so much more than the original. [Mar 2010, p.84]

    The STALKER game that we've always deserved, it's just a shame that it's three years too late. [Mar 2010, p.90]

    An epic in every sense of the word, but it's a shame it feels so linear and that combat is still an epic fail. [Mar 2010, p.88]

    So much jetpack promise, but it's a game seeking a third act. Wait for Just Cause 2 if you fancy absurd airborne adventures. [Feb 2010, p.84]

    It's completely let down by the actual developers. [Feb 2010, p.94]

    A game that flies high, but is almost shot down by severe controller issues. [Mar 2010, p.92]

    • 77 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It's a very slow game. But The Void has really got under my skin in a way no game has for a long time, and it's totally recommended. [Christmas 2009, p.95]
