A spectacular and beautiful sci-fi epic. [Christmas 2007, p.78]

Without the old brill, open world and silly plot, ProStreet's mediocrity has no place to hide. [Jan 2008, p.76]

Sweet ideas, very poorly balanced.

It made me tear my own arm off. [Jan 2008, p.84]

Why on Earth would you learn to play real guitar when you can play this? [Jan 2008, p.72]

It reeks of lazy Xbox conversion from the flat graphics and poor physics to the lack of explanation as to what to do. [Aug 2008, p.89]

Repetitive, old-fashioned. [Jan 2008, p.86]

A stout strategy yeoman. [Apr 2008, p.78]

Wacky before funny, showing no signs of progress. [Jan 2008, p.81]

Throw in flaky pathfinding and a frustratingly close-up camera and EE3 took me dangerously close to angry letter-writing. [Jan 2008, p.78]

Aesthetically, emotionally, narratively and in terms of the interactions it demands, Supreme Commander is hard. [Jan 2008, p.82]

The PC version of Gears of War is absolutely the definitive take on one of the most talked about games of the last few years. [Christmas 2007, p.70]

Too fiddly for a casual player and not rigorous enough for those used to Football Manager's depth. [Christmas 2007, p.86]

A container full of bloody FEAR jam. [Christmas 2007, p.92]

One of the better sandbox games in existence. [Jan 2008, p.70]

A beautifully crafted first-person shooter, but without a compelling context. How much does that matter? To me, a little. Not a lot, but it nags. [Dec 2007, p.73]

Hellgate: London hooked me, and I think it'll do the same to a lot of other players. But no matter how much I adore its juicy roleplaying sub-systems, I can't get past its wobbly core game. [Dec 2007, p.52]

While it's an MMO, it managed to make me forget it was, and I started treating it just as a wonderful place to explore, full of monsters to shoot, friends to defend and stuff to pick up. In other words, a world. Which was always the idea of this genre, but I'd lost the ability to see it in a fog of numbers and impeccably managed levelling curves.

An RPG in poor action-game disguise. [Christmas 2007, p.90]

It's yesterday's testosterone nonsense clad in today's slickness, and savvy about the nature of fun. [Christmas 2007, p.84]

With no clear improvement in graphics, it's hard to see this as more than last year's game with this year's roster. [Christmas 2007, p.95]

Pointless but not worthless. [Jan 2008, p.74]

If the AI worked as it was intended, and if there was a cover system beyond "stand behind that pillar and the splash damage 'might' not kill you," Jericho would be great. But it doesn't, there isn't, and it's not. [Dec 2007, p.82]

Some nice ideas, but a mere damp squib as a spellbinder. [July 2007, p.79]

Without doubt, it is the most realistic, rewarding and compelling football title around, so we can only hope that this prosaic update is a blip, rather than a sign of serious stagnation.

It's an exciting business, but not one for fainthearts or fumblers. [Christmas 2007, p.76]

One for hardcore online fans only. [Christmas 2007, p.95]

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]
