A competitive off-road sim that backs away from arcade mechanics, but also from any sense of fun or adventure. [Christmas 2011, p.66]- PC PowerPlay

An unfortunate step backwards for Bethesda. [Nov 2009, p.58]- PC PowerPlay

If the developers had really looked hard at what they’d made, they would have found they’d committed that cardinal sin; to make a game that just isn’t fun. [Nov 2008, p.53]- PC PowerPlay

Awesome idea but amateur execution means it costs an arm and a leg for what it is. [June 2011, p.62]- PC PowerPlay

A promising sequel that, despite its improvements on the original, still retains as many bugs as it does zombies.- PC PowerPlay

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

Don't hope to be blown away. Little stirs in this valley. [June 2012, p.56]- PC PowerPlay

Quantum Break is a great game on Xbone, but shoddy PC optimisation and the issues associated with the Win 10 store fundamentally break the game. [Issue#251, p.55]- PC PowerPlay

Not brainy enough to satisfy the hunger of zombified strategy enthusiasts. [June 2011, p.69]- PC PowerPlay

Entertaining, but flawed; just like its mythological counterparts! [June 2011, p.71]- PC PowerPlay

Neither funny enough to forgive the easy puzzles, nor hard enough to get away with meh jokes. [Issue#259, p.64]- PC PowerPlay

Absolutely gorgeous visuals are marred with completely uninspired gameplay. Just go watch the film for your Tron hit. [Feb 2011, p.62]- PC PowerPlay

An excellent adaptation of the board game that completely forgets to include that all important social aspect. [Feb 2011, p.66]- PC PowerPlay

Competent hack-'n'-slash with a few neat ideas wrapped in a package that's remarkably unremarkable. [Sept 2011, p.64]- PC PowerPlay

Has solid foundations, but there's not enough there to keep you engaged for the long hours it takes to finish. [Jan 2010, p.65]- PC PowerPlay

- Critic Score
A monotonous attempt to relive the glory days of RPG combat. [June 2012, p.62]- PC PowerPlay

A combination of DRM and instability ruins what should be an excellent game. Pick this up on console. [Apr 2010, p.58]- PC PowerPlay

Will amaze for how thorough the dev team were in taking an exciting, original idea and making it as boring as humanly possible. [July 2013, p.91]- PC PowerPlay

Empire Earth is a disappointment; a title that snubs its core audience only to ineptly target a new one. [Jan 2008, p.57]- PC PowerPlay

- Critic Score
A realistic, but relatively bland title that's part recruitment poster and part tame FPS. [Sept 2009, p.62]- PC PowerPlay

- 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

Overall, it just feels too casual, too cartoony. On a tablet that can be forgiven, but as a PC game it seems more than a little limiting. [July 2014, p.63]- PC PowerPlay

Via Domus is a game for the fans only. And even then it gives only limited insight into the world of the show. Meanwhile, its puzzle aspects just aren’t strong enough to amuse serious gamers. [May 2008, p.62]- PC PowerPlay

If you're really into a D&D style game, why not just get a bunch of friends together and play D&D? [Aug 2013, p.90]- PC PowerPlay

A disjointed approach to play harms The Missing Link's value to Human Revolution's main story arc.- PC PowerPlay

A modest, modern attempt at a hacking sim that unfortunately doesn't capture the magic of Introverion's classic. [Nov 2011, p.68]- PC PowerPlay

Occasionally funny but mostly rather rote, How to Survive drowns under the weight of the developer's ambition. [December 2013, p.83]- PC PowerPlay

No matter which way you slice its solid shooting mechanics, it still doesn't feel like Shadow Warrior. [December 2013, p.90]- PC PowerPlay

A less than successful attempt at what could have been a novel concept. [Aug 2014, p.57]- PC PowerPlay
