    A resounding failure in most respects. [Issue#247, p.68]

    While nailing a huge combo still feels incredible, the fact that the skill aspect of the game has been massacred by bugs, glitches and poor design makes this throwback difficult to recommend. [Issue#263, p.70]

    Neither sim nor out and out arcade shooter, what it is is a bad game. [Issue#217, p.80]

    It's just so very, very dull. Turbo blurs the screen slightly and makes the colours uglier. The shortcuts are so timid and unexciting you're not even sure if they're shortcuts or poor flagged alternative routes you've accidentally stumbled upon.

    Bland, ugly, boring, shamelessly derived from Gears of War and with very little in the way of redeeming features. [Issue#197, p.91]

    One of the worst ports we've ever played, Risen 3 is a[n] ugly, buggy mess on PS3 that, when added to the awful combat, results in a poor game. [Issue#248, p.72]

    A transparent and incompetent attempt to copy the Arkham series, this is a game that excludes the unmistakable stench of a budget title while it fails spectacularly. [Issue#245, p.66]

    Possibly the worst game of this generation. It’s broken, infused with ill-judged and unfunny humour, and devoid of any enjoyable gameplay. You’re better off playing GTA IV while reading Nuts.

    Daylight is an utter mess of a game that never manages to build atmosphere or scare the player. Add in an atrocious script and voice acting and you have a game to avoid. [Issue#245, p.62]

    With some utterly appalling level design, terrible physics and the aforementioned imprecise controls, Multiverse is one of the worst tie-ins of this generation. [Issue#227, p.78]
