Ten quid is a steep asking price. [Apr 2012, p.97]

Slightly dull. [Christmas 2012, p.111]

Had the developer spent a little more time on the haphazard real-time battling, Silverfall could have been so much more. [Sept 2007, p.116]

This souls-lite with an artful anime sheen impresses visually and presents an accessible take on the winning formula but fails to endear us with its bland environments and toothless story. [Issue#168, p.84]

Territory Wars isn't fundamentally broken, it's just not much fun. [July 2008, p.94]

There's just not enough improvement upon last year for me to recommend this. [Oct 2012, p.114]

Bungie’s new DLC falls flat due to its rehashed Moon setting, yet there are still moments of brilliance here. The season pass price is hard to justify, but the free-to-play main game gives us hope. [Issue#169, p.94]

This was sort of acceptable a couple of years ago, but with PSP now capable of tossing around gigantic, detailed cities, it looks a bit old-fashioned. [July 2007, p.108]

In spite of itself, it conveys and rewards a love for the sport. [Sept 2015, p.89]

There's just no lasting appeal. [Apr 2007, p.97]

It works well and is reasonably enjoyable at first as cartoon underlings are crushed by your mighty powers. The difficulty eventually ramps up the challenge, and special characters like element-immune priests are there to shake things up. It only partially works though, and overly long missions and an objective that gets stale too quick stops this building anything impressive on its solid foundation.

A shiny update rather than a new game. [Jan 2008, p.114]

It's also overly familiar, too short and full of irritating load times. [Apr 2012, p.113]

There are just enough endearingly old school boss fights and survival modes to keep you coming back to this. For a day or two, anyway. [Oct 2011, p.113]

Functional and at times enjoyable, but in a derivative way that rarely stands out.

An unmistakably devilish puzzler with a truly hellacious price tag, that it’s so flippin’ brilliant only gives Angry Birds: Star Wars’ exclusive-to-PS4 cost extra sting. C3P-no.

Solid flying, familiar mission structure and some new ideas that don't work out. [Apr 2009, p.90]

Sadly, at more than four times the price of the iPhone version, it's hard to recommend too highly. [Apr 2012, p.113]

Despite its presentational flaws – the script is married to some deeply underwhelming visuals – and lack of true inspiration, solid implementation of both the basic mechanics and the wannabe game-changer mean it floats our boat, even if we're not flipping out.

Draws out deserved enthusiasm from you through its first half, followed by increasing frustration as the wheels start to fall off the wagon. [Sept 2015, p.94]

Throw in spectacular crashes and the ability to rewind time to avoid them and even us Brits have something to enjoy. [Oct 2012, p.119]

The restrictive and repetitious combat is too simplistic to keep your attention for dynastic periods. [Apr 2012, p.113]

Sometimes mechanics aren't enough. [Sept 2015, p.95]

This is a rugby relic from a bygone age. [Oct 2011, p.116]

That no significant improvements have been made in five years is surely the final proof that Medal of Honor's PlayStation campaign has lost its way. [May 2007, p.92]

In the harsh light of modernity, this just [whisper it] doesn't seem that great any more. [Nov 2012, p.105]

If you can keep up with the tunes, this is quite the sensory experience. But unless you're blessed with serious rhythm, Starship Disco's brutal beat will quickly overwhelm. [March 2017, p.96]

A game as flawed as its protagonist. [May 2017, p.96]
