An exhaustive and impactful world let down by predictable aesthetics and combat. [Issue#251, p.70]

While it lacks the depth of the physical game, this is an excellent introduction to Magic: The Gathering. [Issue#202, p.96]

Like "Lumines," however, the ear and eye candy is more than just, well, ear and eye candy, and is completely inseparable from the gameplay. [Issue 145, p.82]

The gameplay is as tight and fun as ever. [Issue#202, p.97]

The best, fastest and most exhilarating ride you’ll get for a long time. It’s got all the options you’ll want from a ‘street’ racer of this ilk, but it really doesn’t need it. The real joy is in the toughness and thrill of the races. Simple.

A remarkable addition to the Network roster, Warhawk is probably the most fun we've had with our PS3s yet. That said, some of the gameplay is uneven, but the dogfighting alone should sell this to you. It's a joy. [Issue#157, p.78]

Dragonborn is full of bugs and its biggest selling point is a major disappointment. But this expansion has so much to offer that it's still more than worth the asking price, and just what fans are looking for. [Issue#229, p.73]
