Without pursuits, this game would be an overly-easy, bland rehash of earlier racing titles, devoid of any actual plot. As it stands, it could be attractive to any PC gamer looking for a new racing game. But with Burnout Paradise coming to the PC in February, some may find it prudent to wait. [January 2009, p.57]- PC PowerPlay

The campaign requires an interest in 40K, while the basic multiplayer modes are fun for all. [Dec 2011, p.67]- PC PowerPlay

Marketed more towards newbies than the hardcore SimCity veteran, Tilted Mill has found an amiable balance between dumbing down some of the more difficult aspects of the classic game and creating an interesting new system of city management. [Jan 2008, p.59]- PC PowerPlay

The lack of content and generous helping of bugs can be easily forgiven thanks to the developer's high reputation. [Feb 2015, p.16]- PC PowerPlay

Lame multiplayer and disappointing weapons aside, The Club is a solid enough singleplayer shooter whose self-improvement-with-guns gameplay will keep you coming back until you hit that perfect score. Go hard! [Jun 2008, p.58]- PC PowerPlay

Its creative and quirky nature is let down by mechanics that don't feel strongly realised, Rock of Ages is still good for the occasional roll. [Christmas 2011, p.67]- PC PowerPlay

Beautiful and mysterious, though more for lovers of tranquil exploration and spherical geometry than serious puzzle fantastic. [Oct 2013, p.84]- PC PowerPlay

WAR is not about redefining the genre, and to complain it resembles WoW is to criticize it for being a fantasy MMO. Where it excels is group-based gameplay. [Dec 2008, p.64]- PC PowerPlay

A great game for dedicated fans of the Warhammer 40,000 setting, but a poor narrative and structure may get in the way for casual players. [Issue#259, p.55]- PC PowerPlay

A competent tactical shooter that doesn't push any boundaries and is only peripherally related to XCOM. [Oct 2013, p.96]- PC PowerPlay

Tough, unforgiving but lacking a certain something. [Dec 2014, p.56]- PC PowerPlay

An interactive, aural delight which doesn't quite offer gameplay to match its busy artistry. [June 2012, p.61]- PC PowerPlay

Don't write this off as glorified shareware. Avadon has charm, as if it were an old gem unearthed. [Sept 2011, p.58]- PC PowerPlay

A gorgeous and creative spin on the arena shooter formula. [Feb 2011, p.60]- PC PowerPlay

An unflinchingly hardcore RPG that trades promises of "realism" for just another fantasy. [Issue#270, p.49]- PC PowerPlay
