    OotP's baseball smarts may be undisputed, but it struggles to capture the passion and sporting flair of the infield. [Sept 2012, p.106]

    • 65 Critic Score
    True to its roots, Dungeon Bowl is broken, and is soured further by a dormant community and no singleplayer. [Sept 2012, p.104]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Clever puzzle concepts fail to coalesce into anything scintillating, undermined by inconsistent physics and a rather witless world. [Sept 2012, p.100]

    • 81 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    A labour of love, and as a result, it's a pure pleasure to play. [Sept 2012, p.98]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Delightfully drawn and packed with both personality and innovative game ideas, but more tiny than big. [Sept 2012, p.86]
    • 70 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    A puzzler that remains short of an epiphany. [Sept 2012, p.85]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    A cute, quirky anime dungeon crawl that will cheerfully kick your arse until your nose starts bleeding. [Sept 2012, p.84]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's a good entry into the often neglected motorbike racing genre. [Aug 2012, p.105]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Its excellent customisation and clever AI makes for one of the best tower defence games around. [Aug 2012, p.104]
    • 74 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Not rubbish, then, but one to pick up from the bargain bin. [Aug 2012, p.103]

    • 70 Critic Score
    The detail is there, but thanks to the mild handling and thin, generic audio, the magic isn't. [Aug 2012, p.97]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Great customisation and a compelling clan war layer, but the multiplayer just isn't interesting enough to support them. [Aug 2012, p.96]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 87 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    A decent slow-mo shooter spoilt by technical issues and a heavy focus on an empty plot. Wait for patches or a demo. [Aug 2012, p.88]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 64 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Does it justify the steep price? No. [July 2012, p.99]

    • 65 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    Unluckily, it costs 20 quid, which is significantly more than it's worth. [July 2012, p.99]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Exploring is fun, resource exploitation is basic and extermination is tedious. [July 2012, p.84]

    • 62 Critic Score
    What starts out unforgettable, ends up feeling disposable. [June 2012, p.111]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 58 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    A different take on tower defence, but one that needed more thought before being released on an unsuspecting public. [June 2012, p.110]
    • 64 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A welcome gulp of sea air for jaded real-time strategy fans, slightly tainted by campaign conservatism. [June 2012, p.108]
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's a cute and pacey game. [June 2012, p.105]

    • 69 Critic Score
    The ghosts are fun and have plenty to say, even if the humour regularly falls short. [June 2012, p.105]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 48 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    The 16 campaign sorties feel so HAWXian so Ace Combatish, you'll swear you've flown them before. [June 2012, p.101]

    • 88 Critic Score
    At a mere 2 quid, you'd have to be insane not to pick Wizorb up. [June 2012, p.101]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 73 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    On its own merits, it's an okay hack-and-slash but one that feels as old as it is - and nothing special when there's the likes of Recettear and Fortune Summoners offering other flavours of action-JRPG in more interesting ways. [June 2012, p.100]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Short but sweet - a relentlessly imaginative adventure from Double Fine that never wears out its welcome. [June 2012, p.98]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    For its price and playability it's well worth a look. [June 2012, p.97]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The new scenarios are enlivened by the fantastic timeline system. [June 2012, p.97]
    • PC Gamer UK
    • 22 Metascore
    • 19 Critic Score
    Tremendously ambitious but agonisingly incomplete. Its battlefield is buggy and crude, and its RTS credibility is MIA. [June 2012, p.96]
