A clunky, confused mess of a game that simply doesn't know what it wants to be. There's comfort in how compulsive it can be, but that factor doesn't magically turn Dragon's Dogma into anything other than a flawed, dull and unfair experience. [Issue#218, p.76]

The problem is the stupidity of your defence - the number on their shirts apparently representing their IQ. [Issue 141, p.102]

As DLC for FIFA 12 this would be slightly more palatable, but as a full scale release it's not up to scratch. [Issue#217, p.78]

Has some quirky ideas, but they're shamefully executed. [Issue#160, p.94]

It just isn't any fun. The diving and the multiplayer are amusing for a short time, but after that you'll be left wondering why you didn't buy "Pro Evo 5" instead. [Issue 142, p.95]

This is just a pretty bad game. [Issue#224, p.81]

The dominating impression of The Don's Edition is that this is a very lazy PS3 port, with a lame attempt to justify its existence by bolting on Sixaxis functions and throwing in extra content in the form of The Corleone Expansion Pack. [Issue #151, p.91]

Depends too much on trial and error. [Issue#170, p.91]

A great concept, but one whose execution screams for another year in development. [Issue#184, p.79]

A functional open world game, Mad Max captures none of what makes its source material great. Missions are uninteresting, the world is dead and there are next to no damn car chases. [Issue#262, p.64]

An instantly tiresome game free from anything genuinely new or interesting. [Issue#139, p.71]

Clunky, jerky, boring and tiresome in equal amounts. [Issue#153, p.90]

The replay value ain't up to much, either. [Issue#182, p.77]

Does a good job of encapsulating the unique feel of Japanese horror, but only the most dedicated fans of the genre will persevere through the excessive description and dull mechanics in order to unlock every ending here. [Issue#229, p.83]

Ugly in every sense of the word. There’s almost nothing remotely likeable about Godfather II, and it’s glitchy and scruffy. One of the poorest EA games in a long time.

Fuel is just too ugly, unpolished and lacking in focus to have any impact on the genre, crossing the finish line on just the wrong side of average.

It's a boring, sad affair that'll just turn kids off the books. Rubbish. [Issue#155, p.86]

A hollow, morbidly generic, barely functional game. [Issue#163, p.84]

Not only is it boring, but it's dodgy as hell. [Issue#221, p.81]

An insufferably boring platformer unworthy of attention. [Issue #150, p.91]

A tour de force in vapidity. [Issue#156, p.92]

Boring within minutes. [Issue#221, p.75]

You know those value brands that you often find in the big supermarkets? Fair Fencer F is the JRPG equivalent. With so much else around, it's not one we can recommend. [Issue#250, p.70]

An annoying, ill-fitting mess that only a masochist could enjoy. [Issue#189, p.76]

Phantom Fortress has got smoe serious problems with minigames. [Issue#169, p.86]

It's a brief distraction and sometimes interesting, if you get to watch some kid in Moscow making the most beautiful sounds you've ever heard, but that doesn't exactly happen all the time.

A derivative hack-and-slasher which offers nothing new and does nothing old particularly well. [Issue#213, p.89]

It's just not enough. [Issue#184, p.85]
