    Extreme is ugly, clunky, and lacking in any defensible reason why you should want to waste money on it. [Aug 2008, p.74]

    • 30 Critic Score
    A game that offers all the TV characters but gives you impersonators for the voices is a cheap, nasty rip-off. That is Lost Via Domus. Avoid it like you would Season 4 spoilers.

    It is the eerie absence of fun. [July 2009, p.89]

    In short, it would take two humans deliberately missing every shot to ever be in jeopardy. [Christmas 2009, p.117]

    • 29 Critic Score
    Petty, nasty and anachronistic. Duke is only relevant as a warning from the past. Avoid these mistakes, developers. [Aug 2011, p.76]

    • 29 Critic Score
    Madly repetitive, flaky and incessantly dull third-person action. Not even Olivia Wilde can save this clumsy movie tie-in.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 29 Critic Score
    Contains reprocessed parts. Little nutritional value. [July 2007, p.87]

    • 44 Metascore

    Insultingly banal. [Nov 2009, p.100]

    • 28 Critic Score
    An 80-year-old mystery wearing the skin of a teenage boy. Ew. [Feb 2009, p.71]

    • 38 Metascore
    • 27 Critic Score
    Civil war that's harrowing for all the wrong reasons. [Sept 2008, p.91]

    • 37 Metascore
    • 27 Critic Score
    It's a shooter for people who don't shoot and have the initiative of a house elf. [Feb 2011, p.97]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 49 Metascore
    • 24 Critic Score
    It shouldn't be imaginable for a game to be released in this state. It's an insult to you that they think they can get away with it. [Oct 2006, p.99]

    A tedious, irritating waste of promising material. [Oct 2006, p.87]

    The worst way to experience this story. [July 2006, p.86]

    • 40 Metascore
    • 23 Critic Score
    No shock, just schlock. Almost impressively dreadful. [May 2009, p.67]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 45 Metascore
    • 22 Critic Score
    This cheap, tacky space combat sim is a stinking mess, insulting the name of the series merely by presuming to associate itself with it. [Mar 2008, p.83]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 27 Metascore
    • 21 Critic Score
    The Mark approaches dreadfulness like a collector, cataloguing every scuttling horror in the digital world. The sound is terrible, echoing cheaply into dead environments. The voice acting is terrible, with lost children's presenters in place of military tough guys. The cutscenes are terrible, except for when they're rubbish slideshows.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 21 Critic Score
    If you're going to be offensive, you need a point. This has none, either as satire, commentary, videogame or comedy. [Mar 2012, p.118]
    • 45 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    An utterly atrocious mess. [Feb 2008, p.78]

    Don't shell out for ol' shellhead. The action-figure is more fun. [Aug 2008, p.79]

    Date, deserted, and drepressing. [Sept 2007, p.81]

    Honestly, I thought the era of 100% cash-in gaming crap was over. I was wrong. [Sept 2008, p.88]

    • 19 Critic Score
    Boring, buggy, profoundly meaningless, and utterly dreadful in every imaginable way. Not just bad - this is novelty bad. [June 2009, p.92]

    • 22 Metascore
    • 19 Critic Score
    Tremendously ambitious but agonisingly incomplete. Its battlefield is buggy and crude, and its RTS credibility is MIA. [June 2012, p.96]
    • 46 Metascore
    • 18 Critic Score
    Unfinished, unpolished. [May 2012, p.87]

    Revoltingly poor insult to a wonderful book. Just don't. [Mar 2008, p.81]

    • 22 Metascore
    • 14 Critic Score
    If this was a budget release, it would merely be a rubbish game. At full price, it's unforgivable. [Mar 2012, p.113]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 29 Metascore
    • 14 Critic Score
    Avoid. Run screaming. The funniest - and smartest - part of this game is the fact that the developers told you exactly what to expect when they named it. [Oct 2012, p.109]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 13 Critic Score
    It can't live up to the hyperbolic name. [July 2013, p.97]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 53 Metascore
    • 11 Critic Score
    Weak riff on "Elite"'s trading with zero long-term appeal. [Mar 2009, p.75]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 50 Metascore
    • 11 Critic Score
    Truly awful - one of the worst adventure games in years. [Aug 2008, p.87]

    Deliberately obtuse is just frustrating. [July 2009, p.76]

    You're just here for the Swayze puns, you filthy slut. [July 2008, p.89]

    Completely broken and utterly idiotic in almost every way. [Aug 2007, p.91]
