    For all its many faults, the script does at least make a valiant effort of recognising and explaining the politics of war and propaganda. That doesn’t change the fact that there’s an army of games more worthy of your money. [October 2017, p75]

    Put the time into it and get used to its unconventional controls and it’ll eventually wriggle its way into your heart. [July 2017, p72]

    Though Sports Bar conveys a convincing sense of space, any sense of immersion is nuked from orbit by wonky physics and jittery motion tracking. [January 2016, p76]

    Umbrella Corps is basically its subject matter: an experiment that became a hideous-looking horror that does more harm to the company name than good. [September 2016, p77]

    Do the right thing and get spiritual sequel Dying Light, plus all its DLC, instead. [September 2016, p75]

    Whether you invested in the Kickstarter campaign, it’s hard to imagine this aggressively inadequate Mega Man “follow-up” leaving anyone satisfied. [September 2016, p73]

    Any good racer offers either a sense of speed or a sense of control, but Carmageddon fails to provide either. [October 2016, p78]
    • Playstation Official Magazine Australia
    • 55 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It’s so relentlessly odd that you’ll crack the occasional grin, but otherwise this is – by some distance – a series low. [October 2016, p76]

    • 48 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    As it is, you’re merely left with a badly scraped old junker. Combat may offer passing pleasures, but in every other respect, this is more devolution than revolution. [August 2016, p66]

    This Hawk has had its wings clipped to the point where it resembles an ugly-looking, flightless dodo that deserves its own extinction. [Christmas 2015, p74]

    Rugby 15 is messier than a Jackson Pollock painting and even buggier than Mimic. Pass. [Feb 2015, p75]

    Yawn of the dead, people. Buggier than a petrol station sausage roll and it’ll give you the shits for much longer. [January 2015, p73]

    Lots of genuine scares to be had, but this is way too slender an experience for the price you're paying. [Christmas 2014, p79]

    If you're desperate for the roster updates, buy it. Everybody else, don't touch. [Christmas 2014, p77]

    Good grief, this game. Does anybody know if PSN purchases are refundable? [October 2014, p79]

    Made with Ho Chi Minimal budget and effort. A 'crapocalypse now' that left us with PTSD. [September 2014, p79]

    • 30 Critic Score
    Painfully dull, both in looks and entertainment factor. Only the die-hard purists can forgive this ugly, buggy mess. [September 2014, p80]

    • 49 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Not broken, just painfully, awfully average and repetitive. Offensive, too. [September 2014, p75]

    Everything we loath about Eastern European developed games, and nothing we like. [September 2014, p70]

    Basement Crawl is aptly named – for that's where it belongs, packed away in a dusty box. [May 2014, p76]

    Getting your arm chopped off might actually be a better option. Just avoid this. [May 2014, p74]

    War may be hell, but it’s not as bad as this ugly, unbalanced, short excuse for a rail-shooter. [April 2014, p72]

    A decent PS3 game swung low enough to limbo under our already low expectations. [February 2014, p82]

    There is no way this antiquated nobody is worth this much of your money and attention. [February 2014, p82]

    Bland, lacklustre and devoid of excitement. Expect it to hit nothing but net as it lands in your local bargain bin. [January 2014, p77]

    A painfully generic puzzler that tries nothing new, outstays its welcome. [March 2014, p81]

    An excellent concept that's half broken. Add [40] points if they ever get around to fixing the crashes. [March 2014, p81]

    • 33 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    On the topic of being rushed, this game was, to shelves. The combat isn’t fluid, collision detection is spotty, and we frequently got trapped in floors. [Christmas 2013, p83]

    Given how unfriendly the steering is in Hot Wheels: World’s Best Driver, you should take its subtitle very seriously. Nobody, short of a vehicular virtuoso without global equal can keep these cars in a straight line. [Christmas 2013, p81]
