History in the making. It raises the bar for interactive entertainment, and then uses that bar to club all other games into submission...Valve has forged the framework for the next generation of games, demonstrating what our medium can and should be able to accomplish - an exhilarating entertainment that can emotionally move you one moment, kick ass the next, and keep you immersed the whole time. [Dec 2004, p.48]- PC Gamer

Endlessly slick, the battles and story are a joy to play through. No turn-based JRPG feels as good as this.- PC Gamer

The best compliment I can pay Oblivion is that it achieves far more than I'd even thought possible. It's a superlative RPG. [May 2006, p.80]- PC Gamer

An open world action RPG from FromSoftware that reaches new heights, but spends too much time in the familiar.- PC Gamer

Eventually I had to venture online, and the first sounds I heard (no lie) were "Oh yeah, you f******, I am the mother-f******'s s***!" It turns out UT 2004 has built-in voice support, and as easy as it is to set up, it's mercifully easy to turn off. [June 2004, p.79]- PC Gamer

A gloriously well crafted campaign welded to a near Olympic competitive experience. StarCraft II is practically essential.- PC Gamer
