Even at its bargain price, MOB is frankly appalling. [July 2009, p.73]

Clutch isn't worth the money. [Nov 2009, p.77]

Any sense of believability is quickly shattered the moment you shoot an enemy. The gargling that emerges from your TV sounds as though it was obtained by someone with gastroenteritis taping a mic to the inside of their toilet.

Unexciting...Unrewarding...Uninteresting... Ungood. [Aug 2007, p.82]

The level of professionalism in this game can be summed up by the fact that they haven't even bothered to translate all the text. [Oct 2008, p.73]

This game is badly made and overwhelmingly bleak, and while the original F.E.A.R. still exists, there's absolutely no way I could ever recommend anybody buy this, even if you're on fire and this game is a bucket of water. [Jan 2008, p.80]

Refuse to accept a game with such little creative effort put into it and vote with your wallets. [Feb 2010, p.79]

It's too hard to be any fun. Not hard in a challenging way - more in a stupid, dull way that has EASY opponents refusing to shoot, and HARD opponents taking perfect cover and sniping you from the moon. [July 2007, p.84]

The maps are boring, units weedy, AI absent, trooper non-responsive, graphics dire, sound effects pathetic, music repetitive, resource gathering system incomprehensible, and the storyline, as mentioned, is woeful. [Aug 2009, p.75]

Combat though, is miserable. [Aug 2008, p.73]

The whole thing is an abomination. [Aug 2009, p.73]

Plays a bit like "Psychonauts," but lacks any and all of that game's wonderful charms. [July 2009, p.76]

Boasts a horribly uninteresting storyline, mundane point-and-click tasks and blindingly dire voice-acting. [Aug 2006, p.83]

A general lack of polish that makes me wonder if NovaLogic even care about the games they make any more. [Dec 2009, p.74]

The menus are too awkward - selecting a betting amount is fiddly beyond reason - and there's too much competition out there for Stacked to distinguish itself as anything other than one of the ugly cliches from its own character selection menu. [June 2007, p.74]

SunAge is a terrible RTS, lacking definition, originality, or fun, wrapped in a half-arsed story. Don't even think about it. [Mar 2008, p.82]

Sadly, once the script stops, the game quickly becomes a joyless chore. [May 2006, p.90]

A massive pile of crap. [Feb 2007, p.80]

A distinctly shoddy game - iffy controls, rubbish bear fights, dull levels and gameplay obsessed with balancing, jumping and the most inane rhythm action ever devised. [Mar 2008, p.84]

Make no mistake, this game is two oversized coal sacks of crap - but The Mark has a redeeming hilarity. [Apr 2007, p.68]

Horrifically dated graphics, a sparse online population, tedious gameplay, and unfathomable online interface and a lack of progressive challenge. [Sept 2007, p.75]

Aaaaaaagh! [Oct 2009, p.72]

An unpolished, bland mess of a game that doesn't deserve a single megabyte of your hard disk space...It ends up looking like shit as well as playing like it. [Mar 2007, p.68]

Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm makes everyone behind it look like absolute bastards. [Oct 2008, p.69]

There's really no reason you'd want to play this, unless you like looking at the pert buttocks of a young girl while clicking the mouse button a thousand times a minute. [June 2009, p.74]

If you must have some Gobliiins action, just get the originals. This one should never have made it into the public domain. [July 2009, p.77]
