Taking out the trash, I kid you not: 30 minutes of mundane pre-scripted yawn inducing tedium. They even mark where to go to on the map. [May 2007, p.65]- Play Magazine

Shining Force offers small rewards every few minutes, and statisfies through a sort of goal-oriented mediation. [Mar 2007, p.54]- Play Magazine

This is a game for tinkerers, where what you purchase and equip is every bit as important as how well you play. [Mar 2007, p.62]- Play Magazine

There are better titles on the shelf(and on this page)for fans of the form to be spending their money on. [Apr 2007, p.64]- Play Magazine

The game aims for a classic War of the Worlds/Them/Godzilla vibe that no game has attempted to capture in years, and it does an excellent job of it. [JPN Import; Feb 2007, p.81]- Play Magazine

TMNT does only 2 things--platforming and fighting--but it does them so right that the replayability is off the charts. [Apr 2007, p.38]- Play Magazine

There is not a game out there that takes you this close to an expression of rage. [Apr 2007, p.44]- Play Magazine

There's no way to imagine these fights as anything but someone's absurd rap fantasy that was somehow shoehorned onto a fighting game. [Mar 2007, p.53]- Play Magazine

This is why you risked your life and went into debt: For a game console. [JPN Import; Feb 2007, p.80]- Play Magazine

This is an expansion that reinvigorates the Titan Quest experience and re-affirms the first game's quality. [Apr 2007, p.64]- Play Magazine

Somewhat reminiscent of Sega's tragically overlooked "Spartan: Total Warrior", 300 is similarly diverse but much faster paced and brutal. [Apr 2007, p.56]- Play Magazine

Progressive damage, super real lighting and weather effects, and full surround audio make it the vision of next-gen; great gameplay makes it incredibly addicting fun, and six-axis control makes it unique. [Apr 2007, p.47]- Play Magazine

Goofiness serves as the game's great lubricant, helping to keep the ride relatively sputter-free. [Mar 2007, p.65]- Play Magazine

The control scheme just doesn't feel as tactile and appropriate. The courses feel awfully familiar, despite being a little less flashy. The energy level doesn't seem quite as high, the presentation doesn't grab you with as much gusto. [Apr 2007, p.42]- Play Magazine

You can only take so much away from FLOW before the effect wears off, but until then, it's a treat that hopefully will inspire more for the future. [Apr 2007, p.47]- Play Magazine

For good or for bad, it is the small price we must pay for getting what is otherwise such a great collection of games in convenient travel size. [Jan. 2007, p.80]- Play Magazine

I think Virtua Fighter 5 was the game that the AM2 development team was dreaming of when they created Virtua Fighter. [Mar 2007, p.48]- Play Magazine

It's time to either do the right thing or say goodbye. [Apr 2007, p.43]- Play Magazine

There's something indescribably wonderful about making an epic leap from the top of a huge building, soaring breathlessly across the sky with the hero's arms flailing wildly before crashing down on a rooftop that seems hundreds of feet away. [Mar 2007, p.51]- Play Magazine

Izuna, like all Rogue style dungeon crawlers, takes patience, dedication, and the type of gamer who is a glutton for punishment. [Jan. 2007, p.83]- Play Magazine

It simply wallows in its competence, but doesn't do much - okay, anything - to try and exceed it. [Mar 2007, p.71]- Play Magazine

What Ready at Dawn did for the "Jak & Daxter" series, extracting Jak and fashioning a killer game around his uber rodent, High Impact Games has somehow done for Ratchet and Clank (sans extraction), reinvigorating the series after three turns on the PS2. [Mar 2007, p.67]- Play Magazine

The action is tight, the feel gritty and the soundtrack definitely metal. [Mar 2007, p.]- Play Magazine

Charming, full of personality, and with a gentle sense of humor. [Mar 2007, p.70]- Play Magazine

Ar Tonelico pretty much has it all. The story and especially pacing is fantastic; the music is truly special, the battles are incredibly engaging via the Revyatelis, and the art is simply gorgeous. [Feb 2007, p.36]- Play Magazine
