    Fun in the purest sense of the word, Lego Universe is a delightful MMO that involves your imagination but ends much too soon.

    If you're anything like me, its deeply tragic moments will make you weep real tears. [June 2006, p.70]

    Exactly the kind of playfulness I expect from Tropico. [Sept 2010, p.93]

    This crueller sequel is bursting with evil potential, but the fun is dragged down by clumsy execution. [Aug 2009, p.80]

    • 77 Critic Score
    It's an exciting business, but not one for fainthearts or fumblers. [Christmas 2007, p.76]

    • 77 Critic Score
    This expansion is aimed squarely at existing LotRO players rather than newcomers, but it definitely hits the mark.

    Voice control redeems a simple RTS. [Apr 2009, p.80]

    • 77 Critic Score
    It's simple, well executed and, so long as you're not bothered by a little trial and error with your research, good fun.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    An elegant and beautifully depicted strategy game that feels logical but fresh. Even if it is a little late to bloom. [Christmas 2009, p.110]

    • 77 Critic Score
    Somehow the world still works superbly, and the result is a big, compelling and unique adventure. [Mar 2011, p.85]

    Broader multiplayer, daft campaign. [May 2008, p.76]

    • 65 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Won't stop you dreaming of Horned Reapers and Dark Mistresses, but still fills a gap that's been empty for far too long.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A container full of bloody FEAR jam. [Christmas 2007, p.92]

    If Flatout 2 was (just) music, it'd be a second album of commercial punk rock. [Sept 2006, p.92]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    With no clear improvement in graphics, it's hard to see this as more than last year's game with this year's roster. [Christmas 2007, p.95]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A game offering joyously vapid four-player carnage and some smart unlocks, but lacking substance. [June 2012, p.86]
    • 65 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A perfectly adequate console port. [Nov 2007, p.84]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A high score-chasing game that scores well with us all. [July 2008, p.83]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Better as a bite-sized diversion than a full day investment. [Christmas 2014, p.]

    Age of Conan is beautiful, but it's not bold enough. [Aug 2008, p.80]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Exhilarating flying over fine scenery, but the story needed to be stronger and longer. Buy ToH for the thrills. Not the dialogue.

    • 77 Critic Score
    Given the incredible scope and the devs' track record for turning out hard-to-get games, EU3's riches are surprisingly accessible. [Mar 2007, p.92]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 73 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Penumbra is very likeable and accomplished. Clunky presentation holds it back, and wonky writing keeps you at a distance, but it shows potential. [May 2007, p.74]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 62 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Gorgeous and pleasingly free form. Without the bugs and oppressive DRM, it would be the best Silent Hunter 5 yet. [May 2010, p.102]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 83 Metascore

    Lavish, but retrograde and unbalanced. [Christmas 2008, p.96]

    • 49 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A puzzle game that plays like Portal and does everything else like Ed Wood. Enthusiastic, but it's not high-art. [Dec 2009, p.93]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Goodness and gimmickry. [June 2008, p.88]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The backstory turns out to be garbled, annoying claptrap. Getting kids to design your civs is inspired. Getting them to concoct your plots is less wise. [Nov 2006, p.78]
