A worthy successor to the Caesar family of titles. But chances are, you already know if this is going to be your cup of tea - follow your heart, young governor. [Christmas 2006, p.92]

Refreshing. [Mar 2009, p.73]

FreeTime isn't bad. Actually, it's very good. [June 2008, p.80]

A lacklustre affair that we've seen many times before. [Dec 2006, p.85]

Arrowhead paints the most chilling picture of the horrors of war than any game has done yet. [Sept 2010, p.84]

Excellent humour. [Nov 2008, p.76]

Every vehicle n this package is an absolute dream to drive. [Jan 2010, p.72]

By peddling this sort of single-minded crud to children EA are creating a new generation of absolute morons who won't be able to think one step ahead of themselves. [May 2008, p.86]

Makes you feel clever. [Oct 2008, p.64]

If you like slide puzzles, it's disastrously addictive. [July 2009, p.73]

Despite design cleverness and an engaging cityscape, there's just no joy here. [Christmas 2006, p.90]

It's just not good enough and, crucially, makes Holmes and Watson do things they just wouldn't do in the books. Which is, at the end of the day, the biggest flaw. [Apr 2010, p.89]

Apart from throwing in a fair few wacky units converted from steampunk, like ice-spitting Rooski tanks and jetpack-wearing Nazis, and wrapping the game in the counter-factual, War Front is about as unique as a new series calling itself "How Clean is Your Wife?" [June 2007, p.75]

Tactical yet still accessible. [Jan 2007, p.60]

The sex is still great, and I'd love to say we could still stay faithful to one another for many years to come. But it may well be that we've come to a point in our lives when it might not be a bad idea for us to start seeing other people. [Dec 2008, p.72]

A deeply satisfying game, beneath a humble facade. [May 2010, p.92]

Ten years late. [Jan 2010, p.78]

A bit crackers. [Nov 2009, p.76]
