    As the first paid-for expansion that Turbine have done for LOTRO, Mines of Moria shines. While it's hardly the most revolutionary product ever to be released, what it tries to do it does well.

    If you enjoy below average games or like adventures where the voices cut out halfway through every single sentence, then this one is for you. [Oct 2009, p.72]

    But by any standard, this far into the development of an MMO, and with two years since your last expansion, the envelope should be pushed a little. Blizzard could've shaken up the genre here. Wrath of the Lich King has had two years to innovate, build and refresh WOW, but all it seems to have done is prolong the same experience that people have been waiting to continue for years. Whether or not that's a bad thing is up to you.

    Just on the match alone, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 is a fantastic game. [Dec 2008, p.68]

    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]

    While World at War isn't original and has moments lacking in inspiration (the tank section, ugh) it has refined the linear World War II shooter template as much as perhaps it can be. [Jan 2009, p.60]

    Homecoming is too old-fashioned and lacks the originality and tension that made the previous games so enjoyable. [Mar 2009, p.70]

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

    A superb interface, the ability to garrison your men and unit veterancy are also worthy of high praise.

    For a pure-hearted escapist adventure, and what I consider the meatiest and most satisfying combat system around, you can't go wrong with Fallout 3. It's been a rocky road, but we got there in the end. [Dec 2008, p.50]

    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]

    There's nothing like it around, and even with its flaws, it's a game you certainly grow to love. [Dec 2008, p.56]

    Dead Space is a potentially great game that's hamstrung by an attempt to completely ape a console controller with a mouse and keyboard. [Dec 2008, p.58]

    The sex is still great, and I'd love to say we could still stay faithful to one another for many years to come. But it may well be that we've come to a point in our lives when it might not be a bad idea for us to start seeing other people. [Dec 2008, p.72]

    For all its faults Hell's Highway is a rich experience that should be played through at least twice, because in completing the game you just want to keep going. [Dec 2008, p.68]

    If you can get over the extremely slow pace of the gameplay, you might find a relaxing-yet-spooky adventure to immerse yourself in on a wet Sunday afternoon. [Feb 2009, p.84]

    While Pipe Mania is a pretty good remake, shelling out 20 quid when you can play perfectly good Java-based versions for nothing online is simply money down the drain. [Dec 2008, p.77]
