While not exactly original, Project Origin certainly offers FPS fans a vivid entertainment experience. If you’re a fan of the original and you’ve finished Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 then give this a look.

Black merely gives us what we want deep, deep down. Those little voices crying out for destruction need silencing every now and again. [Apr 2006, p.88]

You don't even have to be a Naruto fan to feel the love, but it sure helps. [Issue#267, p.72]

Not the vastly different experience we might have expected, but no less welcome as a result. FFIII-2 comes recommended for those who didn't get enough from the last game - however, those who were unconvinced are going to remain just that. [Issue#214, p.74]

It's not for everyone, but the polished gameplay and sheer scale make DeathSpank well worth a download. [Issue#195, p.102]

While NHL 2K7 isn't without its flaws, the game's accessibility is such that most people can glean some entertainment from it. [Issue 148, p.82]

Does 50 teams for the price of 570 sound like a good deal to you? If it doesn't, then you don't need UEFA Euro 2008. If it does, you also don't need UEFA Euro 2008, you need professional help. [Issue#165, p.90]

If this game was longer than six hours, we'd give it a much better score, but the length of it isn't quite redeemed by the great story and mediocre gameplay. [Issue#157, p.72]

It's fresh Skyrim and a lot of it, which is obviously good. On the other hand, the wonky design of the Vampire Lord undermines what should be the standout idea, and so there's a strong whiff of disappointment also present in Dawnguard. [Issue#229, p.72]

Far too difficult for its own good. Rendered fair, only by a decade-old mechanism. [Issue#158, p.92]

Bold and inventive. [Issue#203, p.98]

As a fun-packed Harry Potter aside, this is brilliant. [Issue#194, p.94]

One of our favourites. [Issue#188, p.87]

Arctic Edge is a massive challenge and in no small part raises the technical bar for handheld racers. [Issue#184, p.75]

Better than First Strike by a mile. [Issue#208, p.98]

It's not as clever or as remarkable as the game it follows, but The Darkness II is still a great deal of fun for its six hours running time. [Issue#215, p.78]

Constantly inventive. [Issue#202, p.96]

It still isn't perfect as we'd like, but UFC 2 is a model sequel. It's prettier, more accessible and with more content and superior modes. Its a solid entry. TKO. [Issue#269, p.80]

Mirror’s Edge offers an exciting alternative to the usual FPSs, but isn’t quite as revolutionary as it should have been. Still, if you’re after style over substance, Faith offers thrills and spills beyond the average action game.

The presentation is faultless. [Issue#193, p.102]

One of the best Madden experiences yet, even if the fabled presentation doesn't seem as strong as before. If you've wanted to get into the series before but haven't, now's the time. [Issue#209]

Provides a decent distraction for a brain that doesn't want to be pressured into thinking at all. [Issue#219, p.73]

Nothing particularly new or thrilling but nice enough. [Issue#222, p.81]

The nimble combat system keeps it exciting. [Issue#234, p.82]

This entry is just not worth bothering with. [Issue#194, p.93]

While it's not outstanding or original, Bound in Blood is an extravaganza of high-octane, gun-toting entertainment that'll have western fans frothing at the mouth and keep any gamer occupied for hours. [Issue#181, p.78]

Disgaea 3 is probably the most hardcore and uncompromisingly complex tactical RPG you’re likely to play. If you’re familiar with the genre then it comes highly recommended – if not, then try Valkyria Chronicles first.

Veering from utterly absorbing to utterly nonsense, it revels in its existence as a unique gaming experience. [Issue#203, p.92]
