    Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006
    Apart from the amount of content, things haven't moved on very much since the 2004 version. A few nips and tucks here and there, refined content controls, better tutorials and a slight expansion of the simulation 'rules' to make driving your choochoos a touch harder, but otherwise it all looks much the same as before.

    Torino 2006 - The Official Video Game of the XX Olympic Winter Games
    The bottom line is that these events, while fairly dreary in reality, simply have no place in a game. For all its production values and official licence, ultimately you'd have a more interactive experience playing with a yoyo while watching the Winter Olympics on the telly.

    MX vs. ATV Unleashed
    The track editor...is fantastic. [July 2006, p.84]

    Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath
    The problem is that déjà vu quickly sets in as there are only a handful of map templates. What's more, without a proper Skirmish or multiplayer option, if you're adverse to such hardships it won't be long before you're pining for something more upbeat.

    Legion Arena
    Granted, there's potential aplenty here, but with AI this idiotic, Legion Arena can only go down as a massively missed opportunity, more fit for the glue factory than the glories of war. Shame really.

    World Championship Poker 2: Featuring Howard Lederer
    With nothing beyond a grim gambling fascination, I quickly went from reckless overbetting calamities to profitably unsexy play. [May 2006, p.87]

    Namco Museum 50th Anniversary
    A very lacklustre package. [Sept 2006, p.72]

    Democracy
    Easy to pick up and strangely compelling. [Feb 2008, p.91]

    Dangerous Waters
    And even though the game is rich with tension (certainly enough to offset the mediocre graphics), unless you're at her majesty's pleasure, you probably won't have the time.

    Bad Mojo: Redux
    Truly repellent content. [Sept 2007, p.75]

    Peacekeeper. [Oct 2007, p.75]

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

    Battlefield 2: Armored Fury
    A definite improvement over "Euro Force." And that's pretty much the best plaudit I can muster. [Oct 2006, p.81]

    Worldwide Soccer Manager 2007
    I did briefly forego free food and beer and the attention of 20 teenage models dressed a refugees in an attempt to arrest the slide, putting together a four-match unbeaten run. [Christmas 2006, p.68]

    A Vampyre Story
    Puzzles aren't too hard, but they aren't too easy. [Feb 2009, p.80]

    Kwari
    An inferior, dated FPS mess, a poor man's "Quake III" that borrows heavily from the illustrious classic and copies it with shocking ineptitude. [Apr 2006, p.80]

    Hour of Victory
    The mere thought of booting up Hour of Victory ever again is making my balls hurt. [May 2008, p.84]

    Dream Pinball 3D
    With more ambition in the table design, Dream Pinball 3D has the potential to be great. As it stands, it's just good. [June 2008, p.82]

    Gobliiins 4
    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]

    Mata Hari: Betrayal is only a Kiss Away
    There's little point bothering with Mata Hari, unless you're looking to sedate a relative and lack Rohypnol. [Dec 2009, p.75]
