Frustration is bad enough, but pain? Unacceptable. [Issue#186, p.82]

20% of Sonic Unleashed is brilliant. [Jan 2009, p.92]

An opportunity missed. [Christmas 2010]

It's more Golden Rasberry than red carpet. [Apr 2011, p.119]

For what it's worth, those dice animations really are the best we've ever seen. [Christmas 2008, p.119]

Sexually frustrated robots aside, the gimmick of captaining two spacecraft means this is worth a look. [July 2011, p.91]

Its party modes saves the day. [Issue#158, p.84]

A seemingly endless succession of chaotic, murky scraps in which it's a toss-up as to what will do you in first - wrestling the camera, the stabbing of grim-faced opponents off-screen or the growing feeling that this is a game that's missed its sweet-spot of public interest by a good six years. [Feb 2009, p.98]

A mobile freemium game in a poor disguise, then, Guns Up! feels soulless, with all the variety locked-up tight, early on, behind level gates and constant, nagging pleas for cash. [Feb 2016, p.90]

A one-note, ugly button masher. [Apr 2009, p.102]

You'll have had enough of the quirky humour in roughly 90 seconds. [July 2012, p.115]

It's homework dressed up as fun. [Apr 2008, p.96]

Given its focus on just one thing, Overpass doesn’t feel particularly realistic or weighty, and you can certainly get more excitement from conquering GTA V’s Mount Chiliad. Still, it does what it does without fuss, faffing, or frills, so take it or leave it. We’d probably leave it. [Issue#174, p.86]

Unfortunately what could've been a fun tie-in is held back by technical hiccups and an inefficient combat system. [March 2018, p.85]

While PS VR ought to be a natural medium for Space Channel 5, it’s hard to see Ulala as more than a nostalgic opening act for the rest of the competition. [Issue#174, p.87]

The on-foot sections provide passable, brain-numbing fun and fighting fans will enjoy collecting new combos and going up against familiar end-of-level bosses. But if you're expecting anything new or intellectually stimulating you're in for a bumpy ride. [Mar 2007, p.115]

The only guarantee this brings is tears before bedtime. And that's with two ADULTS playing. [Jan 2009, p.99]

It's all too simple, and a little basic, and aside from brief moments of arcade fun brings little new to PS VR. [June 2018, p.80]

Fun in bursts, especially when you’re able to rope in other people, Earthfall is a good choice if you’re desperate for a co-op shooting fix. The lack of polish, however, swarms over the experience. [Issue#153, p.90]

See past the low-budget looks, and you’ll find this is no shaggy dog tale. It’s a well-paced adventure that’s worth sinking your teeth (and claws) into. [Issue#185, p.85]

This, however, shamefully for a PS3 game, has all the grace of Honda's Asimo trying to climb a spiral staircase. [Sept 2007, p.104]

It is, very much, a game of two halves. The production values are low – like kicking a three-legged kitten low – but the combat system is a crazy, unique joy. If someone, er, liberally 'borrowed' it in a title with a triple-A budget we could be looking at something really special.

The combat system is leaden. [Aug 2007, p.114]

The biggest problem here is the minimal interaction on offer. [Jan 2012, p.113]

It's still low budget, esoteric and clunky as a rusted Raleigh, but so much better. [Sept 2014, p.110]

It's never enough to help you forget the game's warts. [June 2014, p.85]

RICO fancies itself as the sterotypical hard-bitten police officer who gets results but refuses to play by the rules. In reality, it’s more like Paul Blart: Mall Cop. [Issue#161, p.96]

The game is marked by a crippling inconsistency, and not just in its use of motion-sensitive controls. [Oct 2007, p.110]
