The Last resort is still enjoyable for fans of Wallace & Gromit, but seasoned adventurers will run through it like a summer breeze. [Aug 2009, p.74]

Had Life Stories...been a little more mature in its scripting, I might have even recommended this. As it is, your mum would find it patronising. [June 2007, p.86]

It's nothing more than average, and occasionally nothing less than irritating. [May 2007, p.76]

If you've got the time to master it, there is, as ever, about a year's worth of play to be had. [Dec 2006, p.99]

A worthy follow-up and well worth your time if you are an enthusiast of the gem-matching genre. [June 2009, p.75]

An admirable amble across the African wilderness at a fraction of the cost of the real thing. [Oct 2006, p.82]

It has numerous problems, most notably the A.I. But there's something beneath all its faults I can forgive; a Western game that has Reverends, shows reverence and even features the occasional smear of puerile humour. [Nov 2006, p.66]

It's an improvement on the original and if you fancy landing a plane on the Champs-Elysees, this may be your only way to wing it. [Christmas 2007, p.75]

Lots of tactical freedom. [Christmas 2009, p.89]

Lacks a coherent structure. [Dec 2009, p.68]

There's only one problem with this expansion: buying it. [June 2009, p.71]

If the game suffers, it's from over-explanation, the occasional lapse in the combat, and the repetitive nature of the environmental weaponry. But I was kept entertained all the way through, and I've never felt so directy responsible for chopping off a goblin's arm. [Dec 2006, p.70]

Addictive. [Sept 2008, p.74]

The Halo 2 Vista experience is as forgettable as it is tardy and somewhat deptressing. [July 2007, p.72]

The admirably innovative gameplay still feels like it's from Mars. [Feb 2007, p.80]

If you're a fan of the board game, you'll like this adaptation - but if you're not, it's not going to sit well with any logical imagining that you've ever had for a Blood Bowl game. [Nov 2009, p.68]

A hastily-ported and frustrating slap in the face for PC gamers, and I cannot gather enough venom towards how little respect there is here for the PC platform. [Apr 2009, p.46]

I wanted so badly to be enjoying myself, with all the effort that had gone into the characters and likenesses, but I wasn't allowed to. And now I am cross.

Tedious side quests. [Mar 2010, p.78]

The fundamental problem is that it all feels a little detached - for an MMO, solo play feels far more natural, as the speed turns most of the battles into one-on-ones dotted around the map. [July 2006, p.88]

Stylish, funny, but sadly disposable. [June 2010, p.87]

While it does nothing spectacular, it has enough pretty colours and plain, shallow addictiveness to hold your attention for the two or three hours the game lasts. [Sept 2008, p.76]

A strangely satisfying and therapeutic experience. [Jan 2008, p.86]

There are only a handful of official maps to play , although each one is substantial in size. [Aug 2009, p.77]

Off the pitch of course, FIFA 10 is the usual feature packed, licensed to the gills affair. It's just a shame about the actual football. [Christmas 2009, p.85]

The track editor...is fantastic. [July 2006, p.84]

This is one for gem completionists, but it won't be raising any bars or breaking any moulds. [Feb 2010, p.84]

The X series' universe is much more dynamic and vibrant. DSO does story better, but very little else. [Oct 2006, p.72]
