While the brainteasers and competition are addicting, there's not enough substance to make Smart As worth the price; it'd be better off as a $15 download. [Holiday 2012, p.76]

Despite her considerable charms, this Lara is best experienced alone. [Nov 2010, p.84]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

2K11's got game, but The Show is deeper, prettier, and more fun. [May 2011, p.79]

Thanks to the splitscreen and online with up to four people, it's easy to recommend this budget-priced title that aims low but hits hard. [Sept 2011, p.87]

Still, this minimal-frills two-pack is definitely entertaining while it lasts. [Holiday 2012, p.76]

Handsome-looking. [May 2009, p.83]

That said, Clone Wars remains a finely crafted and worthy romp through LEGO land, even for veterans of the series. [May 2011, p.77]

It may not be a truly heroic experience, but Manhunters and the Green Lantern movie would make for a fine weekend double feature. [Sept 2011, p.85]

While it's not quite a perfect package, there's a lot to love about the way the open-world craziness unfolds despite the game's oddly self-aware inclusion of some of gaming's more annoying, antiquated mechanics. [Holiday 2012, p.80]

The cast is another pack of pastel-colored munchkins from anime central casting. [Apr 2012, p.77]

The game doesn't always succeed, but the fact that it tries--and is largely fun, engaging adventure--makes it worth a look. [Sept 2011, p.85]

The simple but fun RPG-lite adventure gameplay is still great for parent/child co-play, but we had no problem blowing through the campaign in a single weekend. [Holiday 2012, p.81]

A strict focus on simple level survival might have alleviated frustration, but Swarm still provides a surprisingly challenging--and splattering--good time. [April 2011, p.85]

While F.E.A.R. 3 is at its best as a solid(and fun)co-op shooter, it stumbles as an addition to the series. [Sept 2011, p.82]

The same fast, tough, silly run-and-gun you'll find in nearly every other Slug. [Apr 2010, p.79]

While it's still a solid sequel, Shank 2 may have benefited from a less-is-more approach. [Apr 2012, p.81]

Overall, a wholly competant game--but persistent performance issues prevent it from being anything more than that. [Jan 2009, p.74]

Though Gods Eater Burst is an enjoyable romp, be prepared to go on this hunt alone. [April 2011, p.83]

Yes, the game may have some uncreative genre trappings, but the great combat and interesting map structure are fresh and even the established parts are still what fans look for in RPGs. [May 2010, p.80]

Despite bringing a few fresh nuances to the table, Revolution doesn't exactly live up to its name. [Holiday 2012, p.80]

If you're only planning on buying one hockey title this season, unless you're a diehard 2K fan, we'd recommend at least checking out NHL 09 first. [Nov 2008, p.87]

But for hardcore Yakuza fans, the schizophrenic game design is secondary; it's the engrossing characters and storyline that matter most. [April 2011, p.80]

Green Day: Rock Band is essentially a less ambitious and less extensive version of the game Harmonix built for The Beatles. [Aug 2010, p.82]

Both Ys i and II are relatively short and light on story, but played in succession, they form a very decent retro RPG package. [April 2011, p.81]
