It's funny, but it's not quite fun. [June 2009, p.99]

It's absolutely worth bearing in mind when weighing up a purchase: you're getting two full games here, both dark and complex, and both well worth playing. [Mar 2009, p.86]

A likeable, albeit unpolished, blend of action and strategy that hasn't been done before. [May 2009, p.94]

At 6.29 quid steal. [Christmas 2009, p.107]

The gameplay is also spot on. [June 2009, p.94]

The trouble is, this gets old very fast. [Jan 2009, p.104]

Just buy it. [June 2009, p.97]

It's a lot like zorbing - it's an eye-catching spectacle, and it looks like a lot of fun, but ultimately all you're doing is rolling down a hill in a massive plastic ball. Or car. Whatever. [May 2009, p.104]

Making your men do what you want, when you want, is still clumsy and imprecise. [Apr 2009, p.101]

The gameplay is so repetitive and robotic. [May 2009, p.101]

Perhaps worst of all, Wanted just doesn't progress after the first couple of hours. [May 2009, p.105]

It's painstaking but satisfying. [June 2009, p.103]

Amazingly it works - particularly in online co-op. [May 2009, p.97]

The best PSP game since Chains of Olympus. [Apr 2009, p.92]

"FIFA 09" feels like the better representation of actual football, while PES is the more fun, accessible game. And the end result is a score draw. [Nov 2008, p.100]

In too many ways this is identical to the last game. That's not necessarily a bad thing - "RE4" is one of the greatest games ever made because it rewrote the rules for action games, setting a template for everything from "Dead Space" to "Dark Sector." Because of that this is still a damn near essential purchase. It's just a shame that the lack of evolution means it occasionally feels like it's lagging behind the very competitors it inspired. [Mar 2009, p.80]

To be fair, SBK-08 feels built down to a [stringent] price rather than unloved or uninspired. [Oct 2008, p.105]

It's a nauseating barrage of flattery, hand-wringing commiseration, and toothlessly apologetic joshing. [June 2009, p.103]

The original's art style divided fans, but at least in Epilogue we can all agree to being disappointed. [June 2009, p.107]

In a game that's only two hours long, being this gnawingly repetitive is actually quite an achievement. [May 2009, p.103]

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

But MLB 09 instead. Now. [June 2009, p.96]

Once you've fallen into the arms of The Show, no other sports game you own will ever feel quite the same again. [May 2009, p.106]

A supremely addictive time-waster. [Sept 2009, p.112]

Ask yourself: how much do you care about fictional weaponry? [June 2009, p.95]

Visually it's so far ahead of anything else out there it shatters your expectations...This is a PS3 showing what it's truly capable of and delivering a landmark piece of explosive entertainment you can't afford to miss. [Feb 2009, p.88]

There's crippling slowdown and the excruciating script. [May 2009, p.102]

Genuinely hard not to enjoy. [Apr 2009, p.100]
