RoboBlitz is an R2-D2 of a game: resourceful, charming, with plenty of personality, somewhat quirky, and short. Luckily, it's priced correctly, too. [Jan 2007, p.76]

A slog that's worthwhile for arcade and music lovers alike. [July 2010, p.76]

Beneath the endless text, Analogue is smart, focused, and refreshingly unpleasant stuff with a style all of its own. [Apr 2012, p.112]

If D2 came with a level-skip cheat printed in the manual, it would be a lot easier to recommend. [July 2006, p.70]

A shame, then, that much of your time is spent wrestling with a defiantly hobbled control system. [Dec 2006, p.76]

A shallow but entertaining adventure. The world is wonderful to explore, but a lack of depth keeps this from achieving greatness.

No great shakes, but an awful lot better than "SimCity Societies." [Mar 2008, p.87]

I suspect that somewhere in Joint Task Force there's a 90% game dying to break out. But at the moment, it's pinned down under enemy fire. [Nov 2006, p.88]

A preposterous pleasure. [Oct 2012, p.97]

If you have the patience to overcome its quirks, The Real Texas is a charming and joyous mixture of ye olde and yee-haw. [Oct 2012, p.109]

Cubemen's simplicity is of the arrogant, even brash kind. [June 2012, p.95]

A genuinely charming entry in the point-and-click catalogue. [Apr 2011, p.83]

A welcome gulp of sea air for jaded real-time strategy fans, slightly tainted by campaign conservatism. [June 2012, p.108]

Too similar to RailWorks 2 to be a sequel, and with little fresh content, but the series is chugging along in the right direction.

An essential expansion pack, though be prepared to play hard and work even harder. [Christmas 2009, p.108]

Play the game the way it asks you to and you can have lots of fun, but Brink can be a bit too needy for pick-up-and-play.

Despite the criticisms, it's as good as the last couple of Lego outings; slightly better, actually. It just lacks the novelty value. [July 2008, p.76]

Once the dominion diarrhea is sorted out, an essential purchase for owners of Victoria II: A House Divided. [July 2013, p.96]

This DLC passes the fun test in a way the previous games didn't. [Sept 2013, p.97]

CMSF is fit for duty at last. Roll on the Brit module. [Apr 2009, p.69]

A passable single player game that's hilarious fun in co-op. Full of weird and enjoyable multiplayer ideas. [Sept 2011, p.78]

It may feel somewhat underdeveloped, but it is an intriguing experience. [May 2006, p.90]

Remarkably entertaining, if limited and repetitious, thanks to the comedy spark of the original movie cast and writers. [Aug 2009, p.76]

Less adventurous heroes might be scared off, but if more is merrier, LoL is perfect for your advanced tower defending fix. [Christmas 2009, p.112]

If Overlord is a villain, then it's one of those buffoon-ish sidekicks in a Disney movie. It tries and tries hard to be dark, to carry out depraved deeds and thwart the heroes. But it just can't help but cutely (and it is cute) bumble every attempt, conform to cliches at every chance, and grin gently at its own sophomoric humour. [July 2007, p.82]

Enjoyable city planning but a timid foray into MMO territory. [Christmas 2009, p.100]

The stunning views and wanton destruction are ample compensation. [Feb 2011, p.92]

I'd like to have seen more impressive rendering of the incredible geography of the continent, but nevertheless: 18 Wheels of Steel, you are weird and brave. We salute you. [Apr 2008, p.79]
