It's really hard to resist and not dub this game as "Buggerdale". Surprisingly, there are moments when it plays even better than its full-priced rivals. [August 2011, p.107]

The single player campaign is short and mostly disappointing, but it's the multiplayer that saves the day. [May 2011, p.81]

Possibly the first Sims game that is worth playing all the way through. It may lack some variety of content, but nevertheless it's a big step forward for the series. [May 2011, p.87]

RIFT may not become an ultimate WoW-killer, but almost every aspect of the game is strong and – what's more important – has a lot of potential. [May 2011, p.93]

Assassin's Creed 2.5 – in the best way possible. [May 2011, p.75]

An absolute blockbuster that makes the superb original look like a B-movie. [Mar 2011, p.87]
