    Admittedly it gets repetitive extremely quickly but it's still good fun while it lasts. [Issue#190, p.91]

    It works, but you have to overlook the fact it's clearly a lot, lot better with Xbox 360's Kinect than it is with Move. [Issue#208, p.93]

    The variety, fan service and attention to detail here make AVP a must-have for fans of the franchises, but thanks to a variety of inconsistencies and flaws, it fails to measure up to the 1999 PC title of the same name. [Issue#189, p.59]

    Strikeforce serves as a refreshing direction for the series, one that will that will no doubt attract a few new fans. However, it can be unfairly punishing, so make sure you’ve got some mates to lend a hand.

    It's going to be off-putting for newcomers because it's an awkward mess in the context of modern gaming's drive for slick controls but regardless, it's strangely familiar and reminiscent of a different era for everyone else. [Issue#211, p.99]

    It's let down slightly by occasionally frustrating controls and monotonous boss encounters, but the inventive level design keeps you returning for more. [Issue#203, p.99]

    It’s a great-looking game, thick with atmosphere and brilliant music. Sadly, someone forgot to show as much care to the gameplay, so only fans of the comics and TV series are likely to finish the adventure with much satisfaction.

    While the game itself is perfectly sound, Brother in Arms: D-Day is let down by some seriously poor controls that see you constantly trying to fight against the PSP when it's really those pesky jerries you should be focusing on. [Issue # 149, p.78]

    A spruced-up classic, a tantalising teaser and a daft but stunning movie make up a triple threat that perfectly celebrates a real fighting legend. [Issue#213, p.86]

    MotoGP 08 could have been more than just a slightly shinier PS2 update, but it still does little to capture or validate the depth of motorcycle racing. It’s wholesome fun for aficionados, though.

    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]

    We don’t care what it says on the packaging, this is not a PS3 game. It’s a mediocre, clunky, primitive PS2 game, although in itself a reasonably playable inoffensive one. But having the cheek to release it on the PS3 – that is offensive.

    It's got racing. It's got modding. It's got pretty generic racing. If you like playing dress-up with cars then you migiht like this. [Issue 141, p.107]
