Impossible to recommend in its present (v1.07) condition. [Sept 2010, p.94]

I feel only sorrow and embarrassment from having spent a bank holiday Monday wrestling with such garbage. [Aug 2007, p.92]

I slept with the mailman then insulted his performance. It had no affect on the game. I spent the first day in bra and panties, even while having lunch in someone else's home. No one noticed. I can only suggest you tune into something else instead.

A hopeless, pathetic rip-off of everything that's gone before it, devoid of inspiration or entertainment of any kind. [Jan 2007, p.82]

Childish, repetitive and ill-considered. [Feb 2007, p.80]

Even if it wasn't catastrophically broken, HAWX 2 would be a hard game to get particularly excited about. [Jan 2011, p.96]

What could have been an exercise in heart-pounding stealth is just dreary and mechanical. [Apr 2008, p.83]

It's a shame what lies behind the giggles is so weak. [July 2009, p.76]

An absolutely worthless addition to the game. [Apr 2010, p.107]

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

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]

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

Madly repetitive, flaky and incessantly dull third-person action. Not even Olivia Wilde can save this clumsy movie tie-in.

Contains reprocessed parts. Little nutritional value. [July 2007, p.87]

Insultingly banal. [Nov 2009, p.100]

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

Civil war that's harrowing for all the wrong reasons. [Sept 2008, p.91]

It's a shooter for people who don't shoot and have the initiative of a house elf. [Feb 2011, p.97]

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]

No shock, just schlock. Almost impressively dreadful. [May 2009, p.67]

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]

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.

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]

An utterly atrocious mess. [Feb 2008, p.78]
