    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An intriguing, if routine, adventure game where opera-singing cats and the ghosts of WWII soldiers are commonplace. [Issue#259, p.63]
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    As a replica of the board game, Space Hulk is a success. Unfortunately, as a videogame, it's barely average. [Oct 2013, p.91]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 58 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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]
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Denied Ops is strictly for those who want big explosions, with no thought required. Pretty much like actually mercenaries. [May 2008, p.60]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Starts with so much promise, but eventually becomes an experience as barren as the desert it's set in. [Issue#256, p.61]
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Martin's world deserves better than this. [July 2012, p.64]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Absolutely gorgeous visuals are marred with completely uninspired gameplay. Just go watch the film for your Tron hit. [Feb 2011, p.62]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A great premise hampered by a smirking script, repetitive combat and arbitrary questing. [Issue#252, p.64]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A decent indie effort, but the sims from ten years ago still show how it should be done. Pick up FreeSpace 2 instead. [March 2012, p.65]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Visually sharp, technically accomplished, but hardly memorable. [Aug 2011, p.75]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A dread-drenched take on hide-and-seek which will mesmerise some, and alienate most. [December 2013, p.80]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This isn't a total disaster, but it does not feel like much love or effort has gone into it either. [Dec 2010, p.64]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Although hobbled with a dull combat system and voice work that lacks any real emotion, the story of The Technomancer is a real pleasure. [Issue#253, p.53]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An amateur effort that comes together well in places, but also one that gives no real incentive to buy it. If only the writing was a little funnier. [Apr 2012, p.67]
    • 56 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Developer with bad track record wants you to pay big for uninspiring loot-em-up. Choices is yours. [Issue#254, p.61]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Clever, endearing and fun to play, probably slightly overpriced. Beware of the ending, though. [Apr 2011, p.57]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 56 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A vile, ugly, offensive and ignorant game that should have been left to rot in an old box of floppies. Why did this get Kickstarted? [Sept 2013, p.85]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Design and technical implementation issues mar a promising adventure. [Oct 2012, p.83]

    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Budget purchase at best. [Sept 2010, p.58]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    For me, this was one of the most frustrating gaming experiences in recent memory. Most frustrating of all is the fact that this could have been a great game. Like a pack of half-starved zombies, the developers have simply bitten off more than they can chew. [Sept 2008, p.57]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 55 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Plot holes, broken scripting and offensive self-contradiction makes Warfighter one of the worst games we've played all year. [Dec 2012, p.85]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A surreal musical adventure that ultimately fails to capture the spirit and essence of the specific style of house music it clearly loves. [Issue#267, p.70]
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An excellent adaptation of the board game that completely forgets to include that all important social aspect. [Feb 2011, p.66]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A competent enough shooter, but perhaps a touch too ambitious in its scope. Still, it's a massive improvement on the first Homefront. [Issue#252, p.62]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 54 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The mechanics are competent but in no way fun. [July 2012, p.67]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Not serious to be legit, not funny enough to be, well, fun. [Oct 2012, p.78]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 54 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Disharmony's content is either so buggy or poorly designed that the expansion pack offers an inferior 4X experience to the vanilla of Endless Space. [Sept 2013, p.84]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 54 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Not only fails to live up to the legacy of Duke Nukem, it even fails to be a decent shooter. Don't ruin your precious memories. [Aug 2011, p.60]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An intriguing gimmick, but neither polished nor entertaining. A tech demo on stilts. [Oct 2011, p.54]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    When the best parts of a game are the parts that aren't the game, something is wrong. [Issue#260, p.64]
