More than a mere Minecraft clone, Terraria takes 2D platforming to a whole new level. [Sept 2011, p.54]

Visually sharp, technically accomplished, but hardly memorable. [Aug 2011, p.75]

Proof that gleeful surrealism does not automatically indicate arthouse brilliance. [Aug 2011, p.74]

With more campaign missions, this would be easy to recommend. But even as is, it's still good, cheap entertainment. [Aug 2011, p.73]

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

This game won't be everything to everyone, but it does what it does with supreme confidence, foul-mouthed grace and seemingly effortless attention to detail. [Aug 2011, p.70]

A fun, light-hearted romp, but one that pales in light of its predecessors. [Aug 2011, p.68]

A satisfying but not stellar action-RPG romp. [Aug 2011, p.67]

A beautiful and rewarding action adventure. [Aug 2011, p.65]

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

Excellent offroad simulation almost entirely ruined by terrible, mass-market presentation. Add two points if you can live with the triangles. [Aug 2011, p.62]

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]

Quite simply one of the most exciting strategy games to come out in years. [Aug 2011, p.58]

A charming, multi-genre-hybrid experience, that will appeal to those who don't mind the sometimes tedious underlying gameplay. [July 2011, p.75]

As PC's only alternative to GT5, Shift 2 is satisfactory at best. But true racing enthusiasts will need to go elsewhere to really satisfy their...need for speed. [July 2011, p.74]

Should never have been released in its current state - simple as that. [July 2011, p.72]

This is a gorgeous and amusing diversion, even if puzzling feels tacked-on, rather than integral. [July 2011, p.71]

Perhaps the console kiddies might think this is tactical compared to Call of Duty, but no PC gamer will find this satisfying. [July 2011, p.69]

Solid enough, if not a candidate for natural selection. [July 2011, p.68]

What Portal 2 gains in cinematic narrative presentation, it loses in puzzle-solving ponderousness. It will delight you and entertain you, but it will not fill you. [July 2011, p.66]

Look, just play Magicka. Because it at least makes some kind of sense. [July 2011, p.65]

Rather satisfying post-medieval combat sim hidden behind jank, bugs, and general awkwardness. [July 2011, p.64]

A terrible shooter and a terrible stealth game all in one! [July 2011, p.62]

Visually spectacular alien-blasting action; another fine port from Volition. [July 2011, p.60]

Complex without being deep, Brink is a hollow interpretation of Splash Damage's classic teamplay formula that speaks to the very core of what is wrong with multiplayer FPS today. [July 2011, p.58]

Preposterous, hilarious, and above all, devious. Tricky doesn't begin to describe it. [June 2011, p.72]

An original concept and deceptively complex time-waster. [June 2011, p.73]

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