    Brilliantly written on a small scale, Firewatch creates believable and engaging characters but is let down by the nonsensical tale they become embroiled in. [Issue#267, p.68]

    Not A Hero tries so hard to be irreverent that it hurts, but, in the grand scheme of things, the game is still fairly fun. Just don't be astounded if it fails to hold your attention for long. [Issue#267, p.76]

    Infinity Ward's talent still shines through, but three new maps, one of which isn't great. [Issue#192, p.94]

    Only the lack of new maps and the fact you can only play on four existing ones lets it down. [Issue#196, p.97]

    The occasional flash of design ingenuity isn't enough to save Sly's revival from being just slightly above average. There are too many boring sections with Sly's extended, arbitrary cast, and levels that aren't weighty enough to sustain interest - a patchy return for Cooper. [Issue#229, p.74]

    Cheap, ugly and terribly written, Sacred 3 is still quite fun in co-op, in a simple sort of way. [Issue#247, p.70]

    It's not a complete washout but it's certainly not an essential download like previous tables. [Issue#199, p.103]

    Sumptuous visuals disguise a somewhat lacking and repetitive game. [Issue#266, p.66]

    We just wish that there was a little more substance to the overall package and that it was free of bugs. [Issue#185, p.86]

    There's a good game hidden in here somewhere, but believe us when we say it's been buried pretty well and we're pretty sure that it's not going to surface any time soon. [Issue#260, p.72]

    Ugly, dated and very user-unfriendly. That it arrived in the office the same week as Battlefield: Bad Company only emphasised its inferiority. Bad Company may not be great value, but it is high quality and well tailored to the PS3. This is neither.

    A curious, cumbersome and frustrating way to end one of gaming's more interesting series. [Issue#216, p.75]

    Really nothing more than a fun concept that isn't anything other than a reasonably impressive novelty. [Issue#204, p.90]

    The Move controls work fairly well...but such a blatant Wii port shouldn't be full price and won't impress serious PS3 gamers. [Issue#199, p.97]

    Despite some technical issues and minor frustrations, this parody of American patriotism and action hero stereotypes offers a hell of a lot of destructive fun. [Issue#268, p.74]

    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]

    The gameplay is depressingly familiar, but it's worth preserving purely for the endless onslaught of gags and rare flashes of innovation on show. [Issue#233, p.74]

    It's okay. It's good. It's bland. It's inoffensive. It's a film license. It's for kids. It's about cars. It's got Owen Wilson's voice in it. It's everything you'd expect from it. Nothing more. Nothing less. [Issue 143, p.100]
