Like an oboe, this game gets ruined in the playing. Well, a bit. [June 2013, p.94]- PC PowerPlay

The game suffers from a major lack of restraint - next time they should focus on a smaller, more varied city with a limited set of better-balanced powers. [Sept 2009, p.70]- PC PowerPlay

Mostly great bosses and some nice narrative flourishes do a lot to make up for the fairly repetitive combat and generic story. [Issue#253, p.63]- PC PowerPlay

A conflicting mash of awesome and awful, with awesome maybe just edging out on top. [March 2013, p.92]- PC PowerPlay

The fur's not flying here - Mists of Pandaria is another solid addiction to World of Warcraft. [Nov 2012, p.68]- PC PowerPlay

Fun but unremarkable sim racing that is impacted by various issues and an overall lack of polish. [July 2015, p.58]- PC PowerPlay

An inventive physics-fueled game that pushes players' patience a little too hard in later levels. [Nov 2012, p.70]- PC PowerPlay

A mix of good ideas, but they come off a little half-baked. [Feb 2010, p.59]- PC PowerPlay

If you loved the first Dead Space, you'll like this one. Just not as much. [Mar 2011, p.64]- PC PowerPlay

A flawed gem that's very much worth playing. [Jan 2012, p.44]- PC PowerPlay

Mediocre gameplay hides an enjoyable RPG with moments of genius. But it could have been so much more. [Aug 2010, p.56]- PC PowerPlay

Always fascinating, this devious puzzle-platformer makes up for in creativity and charm what it lacks in polish. [Nov 2012, p.81]- PC PowerPlay

A pleasant trip down memory lane that’ll appeal to nostalgics and casuals.- PC PowerPlay

Rather than wheel out a new car for this year's season, F1 2012 is content to dust off last year's model and slap on a new set of tyres. [Nov 2012, p.83]- PC PowerPlay

- Critic Score
A solid but unremarkable entry in a venerable franchise. [Jan 2012, p.56]- PC PowerPlay

The most detailed Pets expansion for the series. Horses, in particular, are an exciting inclusion. [Jan 2012, p.60]- PC PowerPlay

Unique and beautiful, but barely a game. [Mar 2011, p.71]- PC PowerPlay

Unique puzzle mechanics provide some intriguing conundrums, but things end up stuck in the flat dimension. [Aug 2012, p.62]- PC PowerPlay

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

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

A brilliant treatment of feudalism in terms of strategy and story, but requires major investment to overcome information overload. [May 2012, p.52]- PC PowerPlay

The darker story and high production values make this one worth a peek, but otherwise its nothing special. [May 2010, p.70]- PC PowerPlay

The kind of eccentric humour and senseless attention to detail makes this worth a look, even if it can seem somewhat short, repetitive and claustrophobic. [Aug 2008, p.61]- PC PowerPlay

Despite its less than stellar story and struggling engine, Storm of Zehir is still an easy recommendation for the right RPG gamer. In many ways it is a more strategic game than the previous titles, just as Icewind Dale was to Baldur's Gate. [February 2009, p.57]- PC PowerPlay

- Critic Score
A solid fighting core surrounded by a very bare bones, somewhat unoptimised package. [Sept 2015, p.60]- PC PowerPlay

An interesting take on a classic genre, with some great writing and variably rich worlds to explore. [Sept 2015, p.62]- PC PowerPlay
Posted Sep 9, 2015 -
- Critic Score
It doesn’t really push the genre any further forward in terms of gameplay, and as such loses some of the jaw-drop factor that Crysis brought to the market in spades. But then, it isn’t designed to be groundbreaking. It’s designed to preach to the choir. [Dec 2008, p.69]- PC PowerPlay

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]- PC PowerPlay
