It's simply the best Destiny 2 expansion—both a satisfying conclusion to the series' first saga, and a compelling shooter packed full of stuff to do.

The finest racing simulation on the market today - bar none. [Apr 2001, p.70]

A monumental achievement in game design...It is the Mount Everest, the Beethoven's Ninth, and Moby Dick of PC Wargames, and it absolutely qualifies as a genuine work of art. [Nov 2003, p.106]

Even with its few faults, Star Control 3 is a worthy successor and a blast to play. [Dec 1996, p.260]

It's the ultimate game for unleashing all your pent-up aggression. It is the most astonishing game we've laid our eyes on for ages! In fact, it makes pretty much every PC game we've ever seen - "Doom" included - like slightly dull. Honestly! [July 1996, p.78]

Well, slap me silly, because not only does Far Cry offer utterly sensational visuals and jaw-dropping gameplay, but it also heralds the arrival of developer Crytek, which now joins id Software and Valve at the head of the shooter class... A stunning achievement. [June 2004, p.62]

Technically impressive but just not as fun or innovative as its predecessor.

A crowning achievement for Vlambeer, and one of the finest action-roguelikes ever made.

A sweet treat that recreates the old recipe with higher quality ingredients.

Spectacular player collisions and tackles, and a far more realistic pace make FIFA 12 the best football sim yet.

Cruelty Squad celebrates feeling bad in surprising ways, all of them fun.

Brutal, beautiful, emotion-wringing turn-based storytelling muffled by flat base design.

The end of the series is a mixed bag. Satisfying in some ways, nonsensical in others, and ultimately too simple. But the sheer scale of the adventure it's ending – and the music, which is gorgeous throughout – gives it an emotional impact that goes beyond its plot payload.

A stunning achievement in RTS design. [Aug 2003, p.74]

Easily the finest of the series. [Apr 2003, p.94]

If you thought the original Descent was a walk in the park, you'll meet your match in Descent II. But stick with it and you'll enjoy the ride. [June 1996, p.82]

One incredible achievement. It's definitely a must-buy for anyone remotely interested in the Descent series - and unquestionably a front-runner in anyone's Action Game of the Year list.

If this isn't destined to be a classic, I'll swallow a cutlass. [Feb 1998, p.95]

And while NHLEHM 2007 doesn't look much different than NHLEHM 2005...it's still a fantastic game, and the best in its genre. [Feb. 2007, p.77]

On a good day, Norco is a bastion of beautifully evocative storytelling that invites any player to take refuge in its world. On a bad day, it cuts deep as a sobering, but loving portrait of a modern dystopia—a community on the edge of great change. But on a personal level, it's a game that understands who we are and what the internet has made us—how this digital constellation of fragmented subcultures has shaped the way we see the world and our place in it. There are few games in the world like Norco, and it belongs unequivocally in the highest tier of narrative experiences in the medium today.

Like having a drunken conversation with a friend who really loves music, but it's a videogame and good.

In a team-on-team multiplayer battle on the well-designed maps, you may well find yourself kissing your monitor out of pure joy. [Dec 2002, p.126]

It still feels like PC gamers are getting short-changed, especially since the multiplayer game is still so weak. [Nov 2002, p.114]

Persona 3 Reload is a highly-polished remake of the 2006 classic. A few elements don't age well.

So, McRae-tagged it may be, but DiRT 2 isn't really a rally game. It has thrown off the stern shackles of the sport it theoretically represents, determined instead to turn racing into one giant party--and everyone's invited. [Jan 2010, p.82]

An excellent co-op adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's the only place it falls short.

A beautifully constructed and powerfully atmospheric mystery that you really have to work to solve.

A delightful visual novel and a great deckbuilder combined. What more could you want?
