A good game, but it won't hit Peggle-esque heights of fame. [May 2010, p.87]

That Elven Legacy is so badly presented is a shame, as there's a surprisingly good strategy game hidden underneath the amateurish exterior. [July 2009, p.75]

It's a reasonably effective swing at a cricket game, with a nice range of shot and bolwing types, which suggests that it might find its mark in the multiplayer sector. But if you're expecting a spot-on simulation of the sport, you'll find youself stumped. [June 2007, p.82]

You can download content of similar or even better quality for free off the internet. Sorry guys, but we don't appreciate the thought.

It's really hard to put into words how excruciatingly bad the acting is, but the phrase "unnecessary pauses" comes to mind. [Nov 2008, p.77]

Stolen Memories is definitely not big on value, but if you're a Mass Effect fan you'll find it hard to resist. Which is, obviously, what EA are counting on. [July 2010, p.85]

The odd moment of frustration aside, this is a shallow, but entertaining strategy game. [Oct 2008, p.71]

An occasionally frustrating and overpriced brain-fondle. [Aug 2008, p.72]

It's leagues behind the subscription-based MMOs of the world. [July 2009, p.74]

There's no doubt TimeShift is a master of the brand of shootery that cartwheels enemies high, high in the air; but without character, humour or a sustained tone throught the game it never leaps into your affections as much as it should. [Jan 2008, p.66]

If you liked "Diablo" and are salivating at the prospect of getting back into its dungeons, Sacred 2 will keep you going until "Diablo III"'s release. If you didn't, Sacred 2 will be an experience comparable to having your eyes pecked out by eagles. [Jan 2009, p.74]

Plenty of tactical depth and a wealth of historical information. [Nov 2006, p.73]

These dinosaurs may be beautifully drawn and animated, but there's just not enough blood and thunder pouring out of them to generate that shaking-glass "Jurassic Park" 'Oh my God, here comes the T-Rex' moment. [Dec 2006, p.90]

Hellgate's done itself a disservice, because it's hidden some decent fun underneath a dated, linear and difficult-to-love veneer.

Lag and server issues. [July 2010, p.88]

It lacks the logical connections that most strategy games have. [Oct 2008, p.62]

Multiplayer modes are very original. [July 2009, p.62]

Uninspired levels. [Aug 2010, p.88]

It's one of the few Bond games that come close to the N64 classic. [Feb 2009, p.78]

While some elements are playable and, occasionally, fun, this mixture of Fisher-Price "Theme Park" and a bunch of Flash-esque minigames isn't recommendable in the slightest. [Jan 2008, p.73]

That Overclocked isn't better is sad because there's a good story being told. [July 2008, p.85]

In terms of the Need for Speed series, this is a dud note. [Feb 2008, p.79]

A vaguely comical arcade shooter in the clouds, and one that never pretends to be anything else. [June 2009, p.64]

A decent bit of strategy, but it's hardly treading new ground. [July 2007, p.84]

This will genuinely engage the creative side of a child. Just knock 30 off the score if you aren't in primary school. [Feb 2009, p.81]

With patience, it can be an engrossing experience, as you tentatively eke your way through a foreign town, with deadly threats lurking round every corner. It's dramatic, it's tense, it's infuriating, but is it fun? No. It's not fun, it's war.

There's not enough reason to come back after the initial wow factor from the visuals wears off. [July 2010, p.90]

Dreadful voices. [Aug 2010, p.83]
