Exhilarating, cinematic and dripping in Steve McQueen cool. [Oct 2011, p.106]

If you're into a bit of hardcore Spanking, you'll love this. [Oct 2011, p.104]

It's a charming act of self-mutilation. [Oct 2011, p.103]

There's no excuse for chess fans not to, ahem, 'check' it out. [Oct 2011, p.103]

Played with friends this is excellent fun full of teamwork and panic as you manage rather than defeat the undead. [Oct 2011, p.103]

No rest, no pity, no remorse - it demands 100% of your attention. [Oct 2011, p.99]

By no means a disaster, but it captures none of the majestic, mechaphiliac idiocy of the movies. [Sept 2011, p.117]

Both beautiful and chaotic - a bit like Cheryl Cole's bed hair. [Sept 2011, p.116]

A botched remake. [Sept 2011, p.116]

Like olden days Command & Conquer. Only minus the combat, the war, and the fun. [Sept 2011, p.116]

Little more than an unfortunate blip on the gaming radar. [Sept 2011, p.116]

This would have been an embarrassment in 1987. [Sept 2011, p.116]

A ham-fisted cover shooter with sloppy controls and dully weaponry (read: spells). [Sept 2011, p.116]

Fast, fluid movement, pin-sharp aiming and the endless cool of a rechargeable slo-mo function are on your side. [Sept 2011, p.114]

This is big, dumb fun for the first couple of hours. [Sept 2011, p.113]

Copies Arkham Asylum almost to the point of plagiarism, but it's a decent imitation. [Sept 2011, p.112]

The shooty racing is good, clean fun. [Sept 2011, p.112]

It feels like Ape Escape is a curio from times past. [Sept 2011, p.111]

It certainly won't get you in fighting shape. [Sept 2011, p.110]

The trouble is the interface, which is cumbersome like a one-legged elephant. [Sept 2011, p.109]

Pretty amusing until you realise what a shameful rip-off it is. [Sept 2011, p.108]

It's beautifully designed, it's clever, and it's more addictive than picking scabs. [Sept 2011, p.107]

Leaves you to grope blindly for rhythm from memory alone. [Sept 2011, p.107]

If I'd bought this for the Atari ST in 1989, I'd want my money back. [Sept 2011, p.107]

Played in small bursts, EDF's knowingly daft, trashy action is an unapologetic hoot. [Sept 2011, p.107]

A curious hybrid: a stealthy shooter with RPG-like exploration and storytelling. It's not as direct as a sci-fi COD, nor as expansive or open as Fallout. Instead, it's somewhere in the middle.

[Sept 2011, p.100]

There's a massively deep fighter hidden here. [Aug 2011, p.115]
