Brutally tough...As stylish and robust an indie debut as we've seen in a long time. [Issue#234, p.84]

While initially there seems to be quite a lot of fun to be had with Web Of Shadows, ultimately you discover its fluid combat and intriguing story quickly become overshadowed by a web of lazy missions.

It's not only a fun game, but shows off the Move brilliantly. [Issue#201, p.99]

It's simple, throwaway fun. [Issue#188, p.87]

It's challenging, brutal and rewarding, so self-professed hardcore gamers should be all over this noise. [Issue#231, p.84]

Retains all the charm it had ten years ago. [Issue#155, p.84]

But this is progress, all the same. Sure, Sniper Elite III is rough around the edges, but it offers just enough that it makes up for all that. It succeeds as a shooter thanks in large part to that crunchiness, yet as a sequel it is improved in clearly defined, tangible ways.

It's a shame that the main attraction - Doom 3 in HD with its add-ons - is (still) such a let-down. [Issue#225, p.79]

Manhunt 2 offers heaps of grisly and depraved action, and we would have heartily recommended it to fans of the franchise. [Issue#155, p.76]

Still compelling, although its age is indicative in the duller hours of its constant battles. [Issue#164, p.95]

There might be loads of courses, events and vehicles, but most of them aren't that entertaining, while some are downright frustrating. [Issue#164, p.89]

There is no music, no pithy one-liners, just the sombre sound of the wind. [Issue#205, p.86]

Distinctly ordinary. [Issue #151, p.79]

A far more generic title that is sure to disappoint fans. [Issue#154, p.80]

It's packed with content, fairly cheap and, hey, it's Lemmings! With Guns! [Issue#217, p.83]

It’s a more than passable title, but far too similar to (and not as good as) Street Fighter. The story mode is a joke, and the array of options serve little purpose but to decorate the main menu.

It all feels like a brilliant framework held back by a few unsavoury elements. The hub-based world and other problems would’ve been less apparent if there was actually a decent narrative to prop the game up, but instead we’re left with a half-baked tale that feels shallow and dissatisfying by the time you reach the end. Still, there is still plenty to be happy about here, with a wealth of great gameplay flares and a strong aesthetic.

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

It offers very little that hasn't been seen elsewhere. [Feb 2012, p.81]

The strength of Bonfire of the Vanities is that all the assassinations are highly challenging. [Issue#191, p.93]

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]

As card games go, this is actually not too bad. [Issue#227, p.77]

As good a reason to subscribe as we've seen in an MMORPG. [Issue#202, p.84]

Hampered by inconsistency and a lack of depth, CounterSpy ends up being painfully average, though it does at least have some good ideas, particularly its player-controlled campaign pacing. [Issue#248, p.70]

Don't expect a Fifties GTA and you'll come out much happier. [Issue#196, p.84]

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.

Whilst it's not what we imagined for the console, it's enough fun to justify its existence. [Issue # 149, p.64]

Stop living in the past, these games aren't good, they're just old. Old and tedious and simplistic. Grr! [Issue#139, p.93]
