    We were pleasantly surprised by Crash. The ability to take over creatures lifts the standard linear platforming from banality. [Issue 26, p.97]

    An enjoyable slice of vintage magic. [Issue#23, p.97]

    It simply isn't polished enough to wow casual fans. [Issue#83, p.78]

    Fun in short bursts, but ultimately lacking in polish, balance and a clear idea of what it even is in the first place. [Issue#83, p.80]

    Its largely frivolous and feels a little empty, but Chivalry is quite a lot of fun. With a bit more money behind it, this could have been excellent. [Issue#120, p.84]

    A bit of a disappointment, then, and for easily avoidable reasons. [Issue#55, p.105]

    A definite backward step from IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey. [Issue#83, p.86]

    It has its gimmick of two people being an army but it's not a very good one and quickly becomes tiresome. [Issue#31, p.78]

    Despite the abysmal demo, this actually turned out okay. Unfortunately it gets very repetitive and difficult later on. [Issue 15, p.90]

    Ace Combat or HAWX 2 do this better, but if you love your planes that much, you could do a lot worse. [Issue#83, p.89]

    It's sadly spoilt by a lack of content and too much repetition. [Issue#83, p.98]

    This is an unexpected game. Everything points to the fact that by all accounts it should be awful. Licenses like this hardly ever work, but amazingly it comes off feeling like a fun, throwaway shooter with a workable shooting mechanic and some quite enjoyable moments that, while strictly not very Bond in nature, make the game well worth a look if you’re either a Bond fan or even just enjoy a good shooter.

    It isn't quite as polished or diverse as it should be. [Issue#83, p.102]

    The problem is, once you’ve played each event a few times they become drained of any further interest. It’s great for a quick laugh, but there’s a serious lack of charm that fails to motivate in coming back for more.

    The biggest problem is that there really isn't anything you haven't seen before. [Issue#83, p.105]

    Standing just a little too still, which in the face of "Skate" ain't very good we're afraid. Though they cater for different markets, we know which one we'd rather be playing. [Issue 26, p.78]

    At 400 points, we'd call it a steal, and online co-op is a very nice bonus. At 800, though, we're just not that fussed. [Issue#83, p.105]

    Not for fans of videogames. [Issue 23, p.78]

    Good in the short term, somewhat tedious in the long. [Issue#30, p.88]

    What just about saves the day for the yellow cancerous blob, though, is the one modern addition it does have - Achievements. [Issue 9, p.106]

    Fans of the books will love it, and we wouldn't dissuade anyone else either. [Issue#54, p.89]

    A warm-hearted parody but pretty repetitive game, Eat Lead may sometimes be the victim of its own jokes, yet few titles have ever sent up our hobby in such a passionate and enjoyable way.

    Can feel a little by the numbers. [Issue#62,p.86]

    It's never bland, but it is so bland it's impossible to recommend. [Issue#99, p.74]

    Too damn short. [Issue#99, p.78]

    A little too simplistic. [Issue#46, p.100]

    This gorgeous game takes a little too long to crank up the difficulty for our liking. [Issue#79, p.79]

    A valiant attempt at doing something different with a revered franchise, but one that doesn't fulfill all of its goals or early promise. One for FF fans only. [Issue#123, p.74]

    Feels haphazardly designed and inferior to Hot Pursuit in every way. [Issue#79, p.80]
