    A brilliant and immersive game...On the one hand you've got the sheer technical prowess and experience of id, and on the other you've got Splash Damage's intrinsic understanding of what makes a good online shooter. Together, you've got a game that could set a new benchmark for the genre. [Nov 2007, p.62]

    More of a solid warrior and less of a gaming god. [Oct 2007, p.80]
    • 70 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    An unexpectedly and unpredictably decent point-and-click game. [Dec 2008, p.71]

    A hit-and-miss product that'll no doubt satiate the hardcore, but probably prove a tad too irritating for the rest. [Christmas 2007, p.86]

    You're a passenger watching a crime solve itself - except you get to do all the donkey work. [Mar 2008, p.79]

    It's not really doing anything groundbreaking. [Dec 2007, p.76]
    • 87 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    While it has its fair share of hiccups, the game's fundamental quality manages to shine through and ensure that there's plenty of entertaniment to be had. [Dec 2007, p.70]

    • 66 Critic Score
    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]
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Sure, Stranglehold isn't a perfect game - in fact, in many areas it's a bit duff. But even if the stupidity and brevity gets you down, I guarantee you won't have played a better representation of such utter, needless carnage. [Nov 2007, p.68]

    • 89 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    It's a stunning achievement and one that puts it firmly at the head of RTS titles for the year...A tactical nuke of a game.

    Those not expecting too much, who may be pining for an uncomplicated spin through familiar territory will certainly enjoy Tarr Chronicles, but it's no substitute for replaying the utterly fantastic and cheap, "FreeSpace 2." [Christmas 2007, p.92]
    • 68 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    While the tactics are meaty enough and there are stacks of multiplayer options, the whole package falls short due to ball-achingly bland battles and a particularly user-friendly learning curve. [Dec 2007, p.84]

    One of the better games from the consistently recommended franchise. [Dec 2007, p.80]

    It rewards a determination to enjoy what it has to offer. But equally, the game's finer moments could equally pass people by. [Oct 2007, p.56]

    As fun as malaria. [Christmas 2007, p.74]
    • 79 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    At the heart of it all, just a damn fine, playable game, overblessed with the 'one more go' factor and a joyful sense of reward vs. effort put in. [Dec 2007, p.86]

    Whilte it may not be totally perfect, the sheer depth and replayability of Kingdoms raises it high above any RTS expansion I've ever played. [Oct 2007, p.68]
    • 61 Metascore

    Utterly, shabbily redundant. [Nov 2007, p.87]

    You'll be left scouring the floor for items no bigger than a gnat's nutsack. [Jan 2008, p.78]

    Two Worlds isn't a masterpiece, but it is entertaining. It's deep. [Nov 2007, p.78]

    Delivers the goods in spades, with an improved engine and a new emphasis to real-time rather than turn-based action. [Oct 2007, p.82]

    Never has the medium been used as a storytelling device in such a beautiful and engaging way, and never have we been drawn so deeply into a gameworld. Long live Rapture. [Oct 2007, p.62]

    Anyone with half an eye can see how the presentation levels have been slipping like a ferret on ice over the last few years. [Nov 2007, p.84]

    Annoyingly, there's no way to change the controls and looks-wise, it won't win any medals. [Sept 2007, p.84]

    Yet another love-letter from Firaxis to their fanbase, and as good a reason for living as chips. [Oct 2007, p.72]

    As follow-ups go, it's certainly up ther with the best, if not quite the elite. [Sept 2007, p.66]

    Something about Granado Espada is fiendishly addictive. What stops it from being truly great is the fact that it's both simple and rather boring at times. [Oct 2007, p.83]

    It's very tactical, it's highly polished and I can pretty much guarantee you've never played anything quite like it. [Oct 2007, p.86]

    For anyone who hasn't already got a helicopter license though, playing Enemy Engaged 2 is about as much fun as eating a pair of sheep's testicles. Yum. [Sept 2007, p.84]

    Not that much more than meets the eye. [Oct 2007, p.78]
