Not quite as awesomely mindblowingly epic as "Civ IV," but it's not far off. [Dec 2008, p.78]

If you want a simple game that doesn't require you to devote the whole of your brain or your evenings, can buy into the game's modern-retro visuals, and can forgive a few flaws; it's undeniably worth a spin. [Dec 2008, p.76]

The license is strong, the game is great, and the quality of the content is second- to-none. If servers are stable, players are listened to, and expansion content is as well tweaked, inventive and superbly written as its launch material, this could be the game that savages WOW's subscription numbers.

Infuriating loading times are a major issue. [Mar 2009, p.74]

Warhead honestly is the finest burst of action gaming released so far this year, and if you're canny then you'll be able to pick it up for a mere £15 from online retailers. It's a five hour tour-de-force that's plugged the holes in Crysis with diamonds.

An anorexic "Oblivion" set in a budget version of Tolkien's Rohan. [Nov 2008, p.65]

Addictive and joyous. [Dec 2008, p.66]

Clear Sky is a unique experience, so far unparalleled save for its predecessor. [Oct 2008, p.52]

Strong good humour. [Dec 2008, p.77]

It lacks the logical connections that most strategy games have. [Oct 2008, p.62]

So intelligently structured, with such a consistently beautiful style. [Nov 2008, p.54]

As a sandbox game, it shines in the hands of those who take it for what it is - an "A-Team" simulator - but as a narrative shooter, it falls flat. [Dec 2008, p.72]

It's just not good enough to warrant shelling out for both this and the original. And that is the real problem. [Apr 2008, p.70]

Like being married to Cheryl Cole. [Dec 2008, p.74]

So why have I played it all morning? [Dec 2008, p.70]

More fun than 50 Formula One races, with or without Nazi-themed S&M. [Sept 2008, p.71]

There is a solid, immersive and occasionally fun game here, with plenty of retro appeal, and for around a fiver through Steam, it's worth a look. [Nov 2008, p.64]

For eight quid though, Bionic Commando Rearmed is a masterful remake, even if it's one you'll never muster the patience to finish. [Nov 2008, p.75]

Although the first half of the game falls into a lull of mundane and repetitive baddies, it definitely becomes more interesting, difficult and intense toward the closing acts. But dont' expect brilliant innovation. [Oct 2008, p.58]

Excellent humour. [Nov 2008, p.76]

Avoid. [Nov 2008, p.75]

The very definition of average. [Nov 2008, p.64]

Pretty absorbing. [May 2008, p.87]

A charming indie outing. [Mar 2009, p.72]

Patently unrecommendable. [July 2008, p.87]

While slightly linear, obviously console-led, and a little repetitive, if you suspend your disbelief and let the game take you on a ride, you'll find your pulse pounding like a kettle drum. [Sept 2008, p.64]

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]

An above-average sci-fi adventure, but if you're fond of rollercoasters, join a different queue. [Aug 2008, p.71]
