The series' new benchmark for quality. Don't let these bricks get lost under the couch. [Sept 2012, p.62]- PC PowerPlay

- Critic Score
A solid foundation for a street racing MMO, but one undermined by lack of local servers. [Oct 2010, p.66]- PC PowerPlay

Terran Conflict is not everybody's game. It may be more accessible than previous entries but that is not to suggest much headway has been made in this area. I would have loved to have scored this game higher but it can't be ignored that this a difficult recommendation to make to most people. [January 2009, p.55]- PC PowerPlay

An easy-to-play casual RTS. Starts a bit slow but the stylised graphics and immersive sound keep you hooked. [Jan 2010, p.81]- PC PowerPlay

The missed potential of the Napoleon story and some dodgy AI make this one a fun, but not essential, Total War game. [Apr 2010, p.50]- PC PowerPlay

- Critic Score
A poorly-made, unashamedly dumb game that nevertheless offers equally dumb entertainment. [July 2012, p.69]- PC PowerPlay

A strange, sad, introspective tone poem of a game. Totally engrossing if you have the patience. [Oct 2015, p.65]- PC PowerPlay

For all its flaws and shortcomings, The Banner Saga's ambitions shine through well enough. [March 2014, p.52]- PC PowerPlay

What initially seems like a game of dressups and progress bars reveals itself to be a much deeper story based affair. [March 2014, p.58]- PC PowerPlay

If you can come to grips with the controls and the rather unhelpful upgrading UI, Ring Runner can be a very rewarding experience. [March 2014, p.59]- PC PowerPlay

Some marvelous mechanics don't add up to enough to detract from stilted writing, an overly grim aesthetic, and repetitive combat.- PC PowerPlay

Incredible work went into the design of almost every element of Risk of Rain, shame that the gameplay couldn't have been more inspired. [March 2014, p.60]- PC PowerPlay

FM 2017 is the best the series has been, and thus the best football management game around. But the improvements are too incremental and the new features too disposable to make this a value-for-money day one proposition.- PC PowerPlay

A beautiful expansion of a franchise hampered by its history. [Oct 2014, p.60]- PC PowerPlay

Not the greatest writing, but the game's many overlapping mechanics make for some great emergent storytelling. [Issue#271, p.54]- PC PowerPlay

It lacks enough pure content to be for anyone but Dawn of War fanatics. [May 2010, p.68]- PC PowerPlay

This isn’t the greatest expansion in the series, but it remains 100% Command & Conquer and that counts for a lot. EA knows their fan-base and with Kane’s Wrath have dished up more of the same to ensure you get your recommended daily dose of the franchise. [Jun 2008, p.55]- PC PowerPlay

A definite step above the original but still not without its problems. [Issue#268, p.60]- PC PowerPlay

Despite pacing issues, Teslagrad's strange blend of science and fantasy prove that opposites do indeed attract. [Apr 2014, p.58]- PC PowerPlay

Substantial expansion with significant new content. But price is very hard to swallow. [Issue#254, p.58]- PC PowerPlay

A simple shooter with some cool puzzles. It won't change your world but acts as a pleasant enough distraction. [Apr 2014, p.59]- PC PowerPlay

With an impressive AI, clever campaign and focus on gameplay, Elven Legacy is well worth the asking price. [Aug 2009, p.59]- PC PowerPlay

A proper video game adaptation of a great boardgame - at last! [March 2015, p.62]- PC PowerPlay

If you're going to buy Homefront, do so for the multiplayer. The campaign is six hours you'll never get back. [Apr 2011, p.52]- PC PowerPlay

Fantastic, absurd, and a little on the short side, even for an expansion. [March 2015, p.63]- PC PowerPlay

Exciting to play with friends, utilising a clever, magic system that makes you think. [Apr 2011, p.54]- PC PowerPlay

Both familiar and interestingly different, this is a gentle introduction for newbies, or a charismatic change-up for MOBA veterans. [Apr 2014, p.61]- PC PowerPlay

Proves not every game needs to innovate to be entertaining. [Mar 2010, p.66]- PC PowerPlay
