    Irritating to the extreme, here is a game that deserves nothing but your complete ignorance. [Issue#139, p.97]

    While the single-player is still a waste of time, the multi-player makes up for its shortfalls offering inclusive, challenging gameplay. [Apr 2006, p.92]

    It's not exactly scary going on fetch quests for some snooty, snooty wee girls, nor fending off eyeless monkeys with a kitchen knife. [Issue#146, p.92]

    It's this lack of imagination in environmental design that takes Killzone down a notch. [Issue#225, p.83]

    Ugly and full of bugs, but also quite fun and possessing some good ideas - an interesting start for an MMO. [Issue#231, p.73]

    The PS2 version has a few more multiplayer modes, but good luck trying to get someone to play. [Issue#156, p.93]

    With Quantum Theory and Dark Void, Airtight has proven that it’s capable of creating interesting worlds with inventive mechanics, yet little of this is apparent in Murdered: Soul Suspect, a game that fails to develop its ideas beyond the very basics.

    Spyro’s shortcomings have been evident for a few years now and this game will do little to change that. The visuals at least look the part on the PS3, but the disengaging action will only find forgiveness with die-hard fans.

    Backbreaker fails to offer anything truly special to sports fans and feels like a fun-to-play tech demo. [Issue#193, p.97]

    The core gameplay is merely basic, but why doesn't Tecmo Koei take some chances with the DW offshoots? [Issue#208, p.94]

    It recreates the tabletop D&D experience, but ultimately Tactics just doesn't works as a videogame. D&D fans may get some enjoyment out of it, but the bland environments and animations do little to bring the rich world of D&D to life. [Issue#159, p.96]

    Destined to reside in a graveyard of Sixaxis controllers and shattered British medal hopes, but fondly remembered during periods of intense hangover.
