While Go! Puzzle works well in places, it ultimately feels like the cheap download it is. [May 2007, p.77]

Swarm has a nice idea it screws up. [June 2011, p.93]

Perfectly decent, but an all-too-familiar outing. For raging/insatiable J-RPG addicts only. [Mar 2008, p.78]

Ridge Racer updates itself in order to catch up with the pack - but it's built from used parts and a shunted chassis. [May 2012, p.103]

Competent, if uninspired and pricey. [Nov 2011, p.110]

The basic combat lacks the depth needed to make the fetch quests interesting. [Apr 2010, p.97]

Fun but basic errors cause disappointment throughout. [Apr 2009, p.64]

Tries too hard to ape other, similar games without following its own path. Shame. [May 2008, p.62]

Happy, funny and tiresome, DeathSpank is the Will Ferrell of games.

It's impossible to work out why some shots are brilliant, whereas others are rubbish despite you seemingly doing exactly the same thing twice. Good game, but one kept firmly in check by PSP's limitations. [Nov 2006, p.83]

The franchise is somewhat redeemed - sadly the levels are repetitive and some bosses just too hard. [Christmas 2006, p.82]

Swims in shallow waters. [Apr 2012, p.108]

A decent brawler that lacks features and online play. [June 2009, p.76]

Visually, it looks decent, but not great. [Feb 2010, p.93]

The actual gameplay is still awkward and slow next to the flowing brilliance of "2K." [Nov 2008, p.85]

A likeable shooter with character and some solid mechanics. [May 2009, p.76]

A dull and uninvolved dogfight sim that never lets go of your hand. [Apr 2009, p.66]

The truly patient may find satisfaction in meticulous planning, but it's too easy for those plans to go wrong. When they do, this is just a simplistic shooter. [July 2012, p.100]

Under no circumstances will RPG aficionados feel short-changed here. [Mar 2009, p.74]

Overall Slow, predictable and does little to satisfy your footie needs. Disappointing.

Average at heart. [Apr 2008, p.82]

Overall A generic shooter that fails to make the most of the license.

Origins is so concerned with trying to create something complex and epic, it forgets all the basics and ends up a mess. [Christmas 2009, p.76]

Fun for the first few hours, but ultimately pricey and repetitive. [Christmas 2009, p.82]

PS Eye functions add novelty to this otherwise solid PSN game. [Feb 2011, p.100]

If you're after a light-hearted change of pace from 2K10, you could do far worse than this. [Sept 2010, p.94]

A blasphemous non-canon story that kills off key players will tickle franchise fans, but it's mostly hollow shooting trading on the Resi name. [May 2012, p.102]

[Christmas 2008, p.87]
