Omerta's 1920s mobster charm quickly wears away to show its shallowness, and any hope of mob-boss stardom dies with it. [Apr 2013, p.94]

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

Only buy it so Polyslash can afford to make something better. [Issue#255, p.60]

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

A solid enough effort, but pacing issues and a sense of obsolescence leave it firmly in 'if you like that sort of thing' camp. [Sept 2012, p.63]

Revisit the Stupid Ned Stark meme instead. It's much more entertaining. [Christmas 2011, p.68]

Fun combat and a genuinely funny script rescue this incredibly lazy port. [Issue#251, p.63]

An exhaustingly average game that still wouldn't be worth your time someone gave it to you. [Apr 2014, p.60]

Too muddled to be a good experiment, but it's still an interesting game. [Aug 2012, p.63]

A scientific and psychological thriller, involving great characters you will go out of your way not to talk to, but it's over much too soon. [Oct 2011, p.62]

Despite the weird controls, console nature and repetitive play, WOS almost becomes fun (in a kind of ridiculous way) once you get into the groove. Possibly better when drunk. [January 2009, p.60]

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]

For its genre, Beijing 2008 appears to have succeeded. If you’re a hardcore gamer, you already know this won’t be your cup of tea. For everyone else, watch out for the RSI and everything will be gravy. [Nov 2008, p.55]

Another free-to-play MMO in an over-saturated market. [Aug 2011, p.64]

As it stands, Eternal Crusade is far too unpolished to be much fun. [Issue#256, p.55]

Developer Keen Software House has overextended its reach. [March 2013, p.90]

Warriors Orochi is basically a semi-automatic keyboard-wearing-out application. You mash away at the keys while some bad graphics grunt at you and even worse techno grunges its ear-grating way through your speakers. [Jul 2008, p.60]

A monotonous attempt to relive the glory days of RPG combat. [June 2012, p.62]

The idea of randomly generated levels and scares is sound, it's just that the pieces used are so limited that it becomes horrifyingly boring. [July 2014, p.58]

Might not have been built in a day, but sure feels like it at times. [Sept 2011, p.66]

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

There are far more refined arcade offerings out there than this shallow use of a big-name license. [Feb 2010, p.62]

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

Tryst makes you wonder what it is about StarCraft II that makes Blizzard's game at all tolerable. [Nov 2012, p.76]

Animal Gods is little more than a disappointing glimpse of what might have been. [Dec 2015, p.60]

Unless you feel like paying for an extended beta, wait for patches or an expansion pack to fix FFXIV's myriad problems. [Issue#185, p.71]

This is one storm-chasing RTS that can't escape The Suck Zone. [Sept 2011, p.60]

A Hobbesian God of War clone: nasty, brutish, and short. [Aug 2011, p.72]
