    MoH's inventive and thoughtful sections are undermined by its desire to mimic other games it just can't beat.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Flawed, intriguing art-game. [May 2009, p.70]

    • 75 Critic Score
    A game like this lives on the quality of its script, and Denby and Raze have written a tender, human story that doubles up as the game's primary puzzle. [Apr 2013, p.91]

    Even more annoyingly, it requires Windows Vista, although there's no real justification for this: it's Direct X 9 and could happily run on XP. [May 2007, p.72]

    This odd land is worth exploring, and its meaty questline worth bashing through. Whether it's worth £18 for the privilege comes down to your appetite for Oblivion's combat.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's a cute and pacey game. [June 2012, p.105]

    Fun. There's nothing else like it available on PC, either. [Apr 2008, p.86]

    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    With or without others to play with it's a lot of fun. It's just not something to should about from the rooftops. [May 2008, p.82]
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Terraforming insanity imbued with a clunky wonder. [Dec 2006, p.97]

    It's a good entry into the often neglected motorbike racing genre. [Aug 2012, p.105]

    The humour, too, is a little underplayed. [Sept 2010, p.95]

    Just like a cheesy action flick, Bionic Commando is a satisfying rollercoaster of explosions, profanity and bizarre plot twists. [Sept 2009, p.82]

    • 74 Critic Score
    A welcome return for one of adventure gaming's patron designers, if not quite a glorious return to form.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Button-mashing combat and new powers aren't particularly inspiring, but the large-scale level puzzles are rock solid. [Aug 2010, p.96]

    Builds on the classic rules while keeping their timeless charm.
    • 72 Metascore

    It's quite broken in many ways, but it quickly grows on you, and becomes surprisingly endearing. [Nov 2009, p.82]
    • 61 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A mad experiment that mostly pays off. [June 2008, p.86]

    A very fair price for the pleasure of their covert company, even if you only end up leading them for a couple of campaigns. [Mar 2012, p.109]

    While Tiger 07 is as good as ever, it's also the same as ever, making it hard to recommend, despite its manifold pleasures. [Nov 2006, p.90]

    Stylish street art, but lacks substance. [Apr 2006, p.90]

    In the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40K future, there is only a solid, satisfying game let down by a lack of variation. [May 2010, p.100]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    This offers sufficient substance and challenge in a nostalgic, turn-based package reminiscent of the earlier days of gaming. [June 2009, p.99]

    No surprises, just great ease-of-use and an endless supply of puzzles. [Apr 2007, p.100]

    • 74 Critic Score
    As an indie release, it's exactly the kind of thing we like to see - something writing its own rules, and leaving us excited to see just where its ideas go next. [Mar 2008, p.84]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Its various components are limited, but this is a clever puzzler/simulation whose flaws aren't too bitter a pill to swallow. [December 2015, p.84]

    • 74 Critic Score
    A steep learning curve and lack of starting characters will turn many away from Bloodline's fun and frenzied arena battles.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Its lighthearted retro puzzling gets under your skin very quickly. It's unlikely to stay there more than a couple of days, but for four quid that's plenty sufficient. [Apr 2013, p.85]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    There's too little vim and variety to rival the great online shooters, but Battlefield Heroes is definitely worth a look. [Oct 2009, p.80]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    If you can relax into the game, get past the learning curve and ignore being hit on by an ugly Scottish man, there's a mass of strategy here. [Dec 2006, p.110]

    Without prods from the story to push onwards, Retrovirus is reliant on the appeal of its three-dimensional shootouts to push you towards the end. Thankfully, they are up to the job. [Apr 2013, p.107]
