Great ides, then, and if only the execution had matched it we might have had a contest in the world of PC golf. [Dec 2006, p.98]

With a bit more seasoning, it could have been delicious. [Apr 2014, p.83]

Great sniping, great sneaking, and several grueling missions where you can do neither. [Sept 2010, p.104]

Another uninteresting slog around the World of Wehrmacht. [Jan 2007, p.104]

When a game makes you alternate between screaming and laughing out loud at its faults, the rewards aren't worth the struggle. [Apr 2008, p.71]

Almost - but not entirely - worthless. [Aug 2008, p.70]

Promising ideas completely wasted. [Oct 2007, p.78]

The good part of all this is, the game is very rarely boring. What's happening onscreen is always dumb, sometimes infuriating and often crap, but there's always something happening. [Feb 2007, p.72]

Too clever for its own good. [Jan 2008, p.80]

Despite awkward graphics, it uses classic adventure themes to craft a mystery and a world worth exploring. [July 2014, p.72]

This isn't an awful game, but it is an unnecessary one: "Secret Weapons over Normandy" and "Heroes of the Pacific" have full air superiority in this sector. [Aug 2006, p.91]

True Crime is a trashy, lazily converted, shamelessly derivative and occasionally buggy game where you get to crash cars and hit people a lot. On those terms, I rather enjoyed it. [Sept 2006, p.94]

Your enemies are so blindingly accurate, and damage so extreme, you're often slowing time merely to peek around the corner. [Dec 2006, p.99]

Mediocre turn-based vampire-battling from the Old Country. [Nov 2006, p.98]

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

A charming physics puzzler that's ultimately too lightweight for grown-ups. [Feb 2011, p.106]

Pretty, but frustrating pokery fiddliness wrecks this game. [Aug 2007, p.81]

It wants to tell the stories of medieval history, but instead tells the stories of the limitations of modern game development. [May 2008, p.79]

The explosions and spells look lovely, but the game itself is drudgery. [June 2009, p.89]

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

Resembles its zombies - pulpy and brainless. [Jan 2014, p.99]

Hard to recommend, as it doesn't really do anything especially well. [Aug 2009, p.79]

A decent enough online shooter. If you really need another one. [Apr 2007, p.89]

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

Bluntly, depth doesn't automatically mean satisfaction, and even within this very small strategy niche, "Europa Universalis II" is a much better choice if this is the kind of warmongering that floats your trireme. [May 2006, p.93]

Weak riff on "Elite"'s trading with zero long-term appeal. [Mar 2009, p.75]

Dull, repetitive missions and a whiny hero. Super this ain't. [Jan 2009, p.89]

There's enough of the terrible stuff to drown out the scant few passable bits. [Mar 2012, p.117]
