Spider-Man 3 was okay, for about five minutes. Shortly after, it became a series of painful stabs to the soul, culminating in a single realisation: Activision has put out the worst Spider-Man game of recent times. [Issue#162, p.94]- Play UK

Watering down an already-diluted franchise isn’t going to inspire loyal fans of the series. Weak handling, dumb opponents and basic structure combine to make a very forgettable Need For Speed installment.- Play UK

Cynical, franchise-exploiting pump that Resi devotees should collectively ignore. [Issue#217, p.73]- Play UK

It hits all of its targets accurately enough, but none so dead-on as to be memorable. Mini-games add to the value, but still can't elevate this to anything like an essential purchase. [Issue 144, p.94]- Play UK

A relentless game that's only really let down by occasionally stodgy controls and its insane difficulty level. [Issue#200, p.103]- Play UK

The multi-player will amuse you for a while, if you've got the patience to load it, but otherwise you'd be better off getting soused on rum. [Issue 143, p.88]- Play UK

- Critic Score
Unresponsive controls and a twitchy camera, however, are a little harder to swallow and when added to the sheer monotony of the experience, you just end up with [a] weak title. [Issue 143, p.94]- Play UK

Boogie will probably hold appeal for any young aspiring X Factor winner that's currently running his bike ragged to buy a PS3. [Issue#161, p.99]- Play UK

This game is ass; don't buy it. Don't even rent it. [Issue 141, p.106]- Play UK

- Critic Score
It's overly complex, cliquey and not exactly the kind of thing you expect to see running on a PS3. [Issue#182, p.78]- Play UK

Pirates was a children's movie that appealed to adults, whereas this will appeal to no-one. [Issue 143, p.93]- Play UK

Matt Hazard was a good idea that could have been something like the gaming equivalent of Naked Gun. Unfortunately, Vicious Cycle messed it up, so as well as a bad game, we must now bear the disappointment of a wasted premise.- Play UK

An astounding waste of everyone's time and money, Pac-Man World Rally is absolute crap. [Issue#153, p.69]- Play UK

And 1 Streetball needed a good scrub and some basic gameplay lessons but was too busy busting rhymes and freestyling to care about the little things. [Issue 142, p.99]- Play UK

A brave attempt to tackle the strategy genre in a new way, but Stormrise is still left wanting in every area. If you’re looking for a brand new RTS, check out the more conventional Red Alert 3 instead.- Play UK

This is a consistently entertaining piece of fluff that sticks to an idea and doesn't stray too far from it. [Issue 144, p.96]- Play UK

Whichever path you choose, Conflict: Denied Ops still leads to a primitive set of cliched objectives. [Issue#164, p.92]- Play UK

Ten years ago it would have been bad. 15 years ago it wouldn't have been worth playing. Today? It's a joke, and one that's just not funny. [Issue#207, p.82]- Play UK

Dumb, violent and pretty dull, this is an old-fashioned back 'n'-slash, with a few odd additions, but not one worth shoulding about. [Issue#161, p.84]- Play UK

X-Blades is pleasing to the eye – and not just for the obvious reasons – but otherwise lacking in ambition, imagination or charm. Ayumi feels like a massive backward step for videogame heroines. Still, nice bum.- Play UK

The problem is that everything away from the game itself - in other words the game itself - is genuinely weak. [Issue 145, p.76]- Play UK

Not fundamentally bad, just exactly the flippin' same every flippin' time. [Issue#189, p.78]- Play UK

It's only 20 quid. Which goes some way to explain the empty roads, the lack of music, the dodgy gameplay gimmick and the paltry 18 cars on offer. [Apr 2006, p.91]- Play UK

The action stages are still great fun, but there's no denying that it is no longer the game it once was. [Issue#198, p.103]- Play UK
