    Better than the original, but it has many failings of its own. In single-player it can become a slog to battle through, with questionable AI and design choices. [Issue#192, p.73]

    This is a game of skill. It won’t get boring as long as you’ve got a worthy human opponent.

    Dreary to look at, grating on the ears and no better than MotoGP 09/10. [Issue#204, p.91]

    Blessed with slick visuals and exceptionally polished physics, Switchball is let down by empty multiplayer lobbies and ridiculously lengthy load times. [Issue#191, p.93]

    A missed opportunity, with Dead Money focusing on mostly the worst aspects of New Vegas. [Issue#203, p.98]

    All credit to FromSoftware for cramming Acquire’s Wii version onto the PSP, but the slowdown can be a real drag in intense situations, and sometimes the conversion just feels a little sloppy.

    The combat system is cool, the alchemy is cool, the voice acting is cool; unfortunately the fetching and errand running is so archaic, you can hear it dying. [Issue 144, p.87]

    The story is dull, the locations sparse and empty, and the camera is extremely annoying most of the time. [Issue #147, p.80]

    A poorly created tennis sim that just doesn't hold up to repeated play. [Issue#154, p.74]

    You're still better off importing the Japanese version of the "Street Fighter Anniversary Collection". "SFIII"'s on that. [Issue#172, p.89]

    You’ll enjoy Mytran Wars, given time and an understanding of the battle mechanics. It’s got something others in the genre don’t – a feeling you’re playing a game of skill.

    There is enough of a draw to keep you playing, but the package is just a bit too flaky to really recommend. [Issue#198, p.98]

    Good fun in short measures, this is ultimately geared for multiplayer, so unless you have a willing team on standby then it's probably best avoided. [Issue#213, p.96]

    If you're a Grasshopper or Suda51 fan, add about 18% to this score. From an objective viewpoint, it's a fun but flawed hack-and-slash game with a quirky setting. From a subjective viewpoint, it's bloody brilliant – so much so you can overlook its clunkier elements.

    This won't win any new converts to the Dragon Age cause, but fans of the series will be more than happy with this latest DLC. [Issue#195, p.102]
