This is better (and easier) than last month's "Maoi Better Blues," but nowhere near as good as "Abe Lincoln Must Die." [Apr 2008, p.83]

Surprisingly competent and fun. [Mar 2008, p.76]

All you expect from a film tie-in, if ever so slightly better. [June 2008, p.81]

A superb idea, let donw by execution. [May 2008, p.86]

Epic in both space and time. [Apr 2008, p.72]

Surreal castaway adventure for more than just Sims fans. [May 2008, p.85]

A wheezing hybrid that can only frustrate. [Aug 2007, p.70]

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

What's still missing is "MS Flight Simulator" levels of realism. [Oct 2007, p.87]

It's so fundamentally flawed that most gamers are going to simply bounce right off it. [Mar 2008, p.72]

Atmospheric, pretty and convincing but short of activities. [Christmas 2007, p.95]

Huge, bold, but not particularly savage. [Apr 2008, p.68]

Better, but eight episodes in, it needs to be even better still. [Mar 2008, p.87]

For the price, it's easy to recommend. [Sept 2009, p.89]

Revoltingly poor insult to a wonderful book. Just don't. [Mar 2008, p.81]

I really wanted to like Universe at War far more than I did. It never goes quite far enough, nor delivers the money shot. [Feb 2008, p.68]

Atmospheric and gorgeous, an excellent indie calling card. [Feb 2008, p.83]

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]

Well and truly eclipsed by the passage of RTS history. [Feb 2008, p.79]

Addictive as hell, with a splash of awesome-funky-cool-o-rama. [Feb 2008, p.83]

Lumbering sports behemoth. [Feb 2008, p.72]

Offline tedium, online repetition. [Apr 2008, p.82]

Nothing more than a merely adequate shooter. [Christmas 2007, p.66]

You're just here for the Swayze puns, you filthy slut. [July 2008, p.89]

This is UT3's contribution to the formula: spectacle, drama, mad heroics. Hurling yourself on the enemy Orb like it's a live grenade, dodging bullets on the hoverboard as you escape with the flag, bailing from an explosive bike aimed at the enemy's star player, and yeah, hanging from a flying metal octopus. That's why it's essential, even in spite of the AI shortcomings.

It's an agreeably straightforward 2D arcade game in shiny 3D disguise, experimenting with extraneous limbs while it tries to establish exactly what it should evolve into. [Dec 2007, p.86]

Cheap, brief, hard-to-control thrills. [Feb 2008, p.74]

Modern Tactics reminds me why I loved the series, but also reminds me why I moved on to rivals such as "Combat Mission" (slower, smarter) and "Firefight" (sleeker, smarter). [Feb 2008, p.79]
