    • 71 Critic Score
    There's a platoon of issues lurking to ambush the unwary. [July 2007, p.70]

    • 55 Critic Score
    A tired old rehash of Blitkrieg - the last RTS game from developers Nival. [June 2007, p.76]

    Food poisoning. [Dec 2007, p.81]

    • 58 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A good, cheap laugh, and if you can get some friends to play, it's worth giving it a whirl. [July 2007, p.78]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 73 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Avoid combat and it remains an extremely smart adventure game with a lot to offer. [May 2007, p.82]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 82 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It's like going to bed with clean sheets, and squirming around because you'd forgotten how great going to bed was. [June 2007, p.85]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 88 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Remains teh best 'arcade' football game around. [Christmas 2006, p.74]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Like a once-great champ who's come out of retirement for one last crack at the title, C&C3: Tiberium Wars doesn't quite have enough tricks in its repertoire to defeat its younger, fresher opponents. But while it may be more contender than king these days, it still packs one hell of a punch. [May 2007, p.62]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    It's overflowing with creative vision and imagination. [June 2007, p.66]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    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]

    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    As a brave experiment in all-action shootery, STALKER has certainly succeeded, though with its dearth of personality and many peculiar foibles, you can't help but wish that the publishers had granted GSC some extra time to polish their creation. Oh, hang on a minute... [Apr 2007, p.56]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    TDU still offers a massive, inviting, and involving world for racing fans to gather in and share their love of cars. All with a cocktail on the side, too. [Mar 2007, p.64]
    • 57 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    I haven't enjoyed an RTS this much in a long time, not because it's spectacularly unique on a gameplay level, but because it has an aesthetic that's just so different from the pervasive goblin-WWII axis of RTS games. [June 2007, p.84]
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Once you get past that initial irritation, it's one of the best underwater games. [June 2007, p.78]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    While Silverfall's artictic style and nature vs technology theme do set it aside from its rivals, the game still feels a bit rough around the edges. [May 2007, p.70]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 55 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    It's for kids and that's fine. But children deserve better. Get them a version they can actually control. Better still, get your beloved sprogs a game that won't decay their minds through dumb repetition. [June 2007, p.82]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    All good, except for one very stupid omission - no online multiplayer. [June 2007, p.72]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 53 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    That the developers have endeavoured - and succeeded - in modelling the social turmoil of the period makes this a unique, rewarding, and dense experience that demands dedication and will reward players with weeks, if not months, of unique historical wargaming. [Sept 2006, p.80]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Not only is the game accessible, it has a couple of novel game-modes to kick back with and offers a pretty exhausting career modes too. It's also quite technical, but it reveals itself in layers, a bit like "Pro Evo." [Mar 2007, p.72]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A bit more attention to the puzzles, the pace and the script, and this old-school adventure might have been more of a turtle's dream than a turtle's head. [June 2007, p.77]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    A decent bit of strategy, but it's hardly treading new ground. [July 2007, p.84]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The definitive "IL-2" collection. [Feb 2007, p.79]
    • 77 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The quality of the content on offer is above cynical expectation - in fact, I'll come right out and say it: Northern Strike is a good expansion pack. [Apr 2007, p.79]
    • 44 Metascore
    • 31 Critic Score
    It's just a dull succession of (il)logic puzzles, stuck on an ugly, incomprehensible hub. [Dec 2007, p.80]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A near perfect port at a perfect price point. [July 2007, p.76]
    • PC Zone UK
    • 85 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Addictive and happy. [Aug 2007, p.76]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    If you've finished the original and want to keep that mouse finger in shape, this expansion is worth a trip to the land of the dead for. [May 2007, p.83]
