Half-arsed superhero rubbish. [Christmas 2008, p.119]

Whatever happens you'll believe it's a real world and a fantastic setting for the action. It's not as dense or as varied as, say, Oblivion - you'll go somewhere, kill everyone, every mission - but it's utterly convincing and engrossing. [Dec 2008, p.98]

Like an internet date reaching for your hand over a candlelit dinner this feels much older than it looks. [Christmas 2008, p.119]

Strange, but somehow comforting. [Mar 2009, p.94]

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

Hit your stride and the confluence of hard-won experience, favourite ride and the unmistakable kick of nitrous will see you threading through rush-hour traffic at speeds bystanders will scarcely believe possible. [Dec 2008, p.102]

The cost of this is a forgiving difficulty level and racing that subsequently feels a bit anodyne compared to MC on PS3. [Christmas 2008, p.119]

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

The seamless integration of its previous content is a massive boon for Rock Band 2 that gives it depth "Guitar Hero" can't offer yet. [Christmas 2008, p.112]

Fun with friends, but best avoided like the press gang alone. [Feb 2009, p.103]

Above all Rock Revolution just doesn't have the charm or depth of its rivals. [Christmas 2008, p.111]

It's not worth it, mate. [Christmas 2008, p.116]

It's just a shame it hasn't got a faster, snappier matchmaking system. [Christmas 2008, p.104]

To be fair, this is a game that degrades everyone. [Dec 2008, p.106]

Unless you hate brown, gory toilets and machines that need power restoring via distant switches, make sure you drift off into Dead Space. [Dec 2008, p.104]

Unapologetically haphazard. [Mar 2009, p.88]

A jarring experience that tries (and fails) to marry a wildly ambitious gameplay dynamic with some of the most disappointingly generic art design we've ever seen. [Nov 2008, p.106]

Where it counts, 2K9 is hard to fault. [Dec 2008, p.121]

Measured against the rest of EA's high quality pro sports line-up, NBA 09 looks and plays a distinctly amateur game of B-Ball. [Oct 2008, p.103]

A solid tribute act, then, but the handling of the series is too timid to be truly great. [Dec 2008, p.120]

This is a perfect update, with glittering HD and savage speeds. [Nov 2008, p.112]

Great stuff for masochists who think progress ended with 8-bit gaming - not so much if you're looking to have fun. [Dec 2008, p.121]

Great value at a penny under five quid. [Dec 2008, p.121]
