There is a great game under all the bugs, but for now my experience of the game makes it hard to recommend.

A skilled remastering of an important title - just one that fails to excite as it once did. [Jan 2013, p.70]

Cute graphics, big whips and Lego all add up to a rainy day box rammed to the gills with win. [Sept 2008, p.60]

Pretty, punishing, frustrating and great in equal measure. Deathsmiles is what bullet hell is all about. [Issue#249, p.62]

Not Platinum Games greatest title, but still an absolute blast. [Issue#263, p.68]

Enormous potential, but desperately needs a modding community to realise it. [Issue#252, p.64]

The gaming equivalent of a popcorn flick. Won't win awards but it doesn't need to - simple, unpretentious fun! [Dec 2010, p.63]

It's the best Call of Duty campaign in years, and the multiplayer continues to scratch a certain itch. [Jan 2015, p.64]

Before it resorts to some rather cliched horror tropes, Observer is a gritty, oppressive cyberpunk nightmare. [Issue#266, p.60]

Overall, Vegas 2 is a solid effort. Gameplay may not be particularly groundbreaking, but is of a high quality. [Jun 2008, p.57]

If destroying Nazi testicles is your thing, then look no further. [Issue#260, p.58]

Not bad, but certainly not essential. [Jan 2013, p.82]

Dead Space 3 brings refreshing gameplay options without sacrificing the gritty, believable universe, but scares are few and far between. [Apr 2013, p.92]

Occasionally suffers from a bit of slowdown but otherwise Hands of Fate is a highly polished and idiosyncratic joy. [Apr 2015, p.60]

If you own any previous COD, there's little reason to buy MW3. [Jan 2012, p.50]

Far from elemental, Fallen Enchantress will have you under her spell. [Dec 2012, p.78]

They cut the crap, made the good stuff better and here we have the best arcade racer you can buy today. [Aug 2014, p.48]

A little gem of a puzzler. [Mar 2011, p.69]

More "Young Guns" than "Unforgiven" but still worth it. [Sept 2009, p.64]

Rime is gorgeous, gentle and sad journey through a strange land. Let it wash over you. [Issue#263, p.51]

A near-enlightening shooter experience held back by big-disclaimer co-op and dark-grey microtransactions.

Accomplished, amusing city-builder sequel that's more evolution than revolution. [Nov 2011, p.64]

Investing in this quirky take on RTS risks a return of buyer's remorse. [Issue#251, p.58]

Conquest of the Aegean has the niche market cornered when it comes to simulating the German attacks on Greece and Crete, and the impressive Pausable Continuous Time engine strikes a reasonable balance between moving symbols around on maps and real-time play. [May 2008, p.63]

Does for risk what Plants vs. Zombies did or tower Defense - made it colourful and gave it character! [May 2011, p.66]

A game with real soul. The gut impact is huge, but it may leave some with a faint appetite for just a little more. [Nov 2010, p.56]

A surprisingly good mix of adventure and puzzle wrapped in a pretty shell. [Nov 2014, p.62]

For now, though, Bohemia's opus is a boy that would be king; the potential is there, but it's just not ready yet. [Oct 2009, p.70]
