    A good game, but both newcomers and Amiga stalwarts will no doubt be put off by the insane pace, which is a pity as there's plenty to enjoy here if you persevere. [Issue 27, p.118]

    If you're looking for something a little bit different from Live Arcade, 3 on 3 NHL Arcade is an addictive and seriously fun title that definitely deserves some attention. [Issue#44, p.98]

    A simple way to describe complicated combat provides mild enjoyment, but that's contrasted by long engagements and a sense that you're flying detailed toys bought from a comic shop. [Issue 15, p.86]

    More addictive than it probably should be. [Issue#70, p.101]

    An okay celebration of 30 years of Pac-Man's furious assault on the four unluckiest ghosts ever. There are better Pac-related options though. [Issue#110, p.78]

    This isn't a good game, but it's one that will grow on you after a few hours. [Issue#91, p.89]

    No attempt at making its single-player outing more interesting than exhibition matches also stinks. [Issue#23, p.97]

    This lacks the depth of an Eets: Chowdown or, of course, a chess title, putting it well down the list of Live Arcade puzzle titles alone. Sigh. [Issue#48, p.99]

    Fun, fast and, on occasions, furiously agitating, Wheelman is a rental-worthy release through and through.

    Techland has overlooked the fundamentals. A shoddy, albeit lightning-fast, racer. [Issue#87, p.88]

    Beset with technical flaws and with ideas slightly above its station, Need For Speed: Undercover is nonetheless loveable and at times thoroughly enjoyable. If you squint.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Online is clearly the main event here, but nevertheless the experience proves as involving and deceptively deep as ever. Minus a few fairly bizarre design issues, it would score more highly. [Issue 14, p.91]

    We accept that there’s some who’ll like this. You know who you are and you know you’re not the majority. Listen up majority, it is you to whom we speak.

    The basic framework of the combat is acceptable, but really...nah. [Issue#48, p.99]

    It's just so uninspired in so many ways. [Issue#77, p.101]

    How so many irritations made it into a game with such an incredible world blows our minds. Should have spent more time in development.

    It's straightforward, meaty gameplay, but the lack of multiplayer feels a little brain-dead. [Issue#92, p.87]

    What should be exhilarating, fast-paced and exciting turns out to be boring, samey and unbalanced to the point of being broken. [Issue#68, p.89]

    In its own ragged way, Alpha Protocol takes a more sophisticated approach to its plot than Mass Effect or Dragon Age. [Issue#60, p.88]

    If you live for the glory of the kill, Sniper Elite III is the game for you, just don't expect it to be routinely enjoyable. It can get a bit heavy. [Issue#114, p.72]

    Free poker game with gambling cat picture! Bargain. Poker is free after all. [Issue # 11, p.104]

    Absolutely savaged by constant loading screens, it’s hard to appreciate the seven or so gems in Namco Museum.

    The tracks are fantastic, but the bare bones package is upsetting. If this had been DLC we’d be all over it, but as it stands, it falls quite short of expectations.

    A triumph of form over function. [Issue#53, p.104]
