    Poor mini-games mixed with horrible controls and the worst 'host' ever - the best way to describe Fuzion Frenzy 2. [Issue 18, p.95]

    An 18-rated game made for 13-year-olds, and yet it is the gameplay that is the biggest disappointment. [Issue#74, p.82]

    Shrek is now dead to us, which is a shame; it all started so well. [Issue#29, p.117]

    This game could send the blood pressure of a Buddhist monk into the stratosphere. [Issue#90, p.78]

    You'll wonder why you didn't just stick with multiplayer greats like Bomberman. [May 2013, p.89]

    Zombie Wranglers sucks. Especially the 'comedy' names they've given each level. They really suck. [Issue#35]

    This was a terrible, terrible idea. [Issue#35]

    A game this short and shallow should really be ignored. There is nothing original, compelling or even that new and it will join the ever-growing pile of rubbish movie tie-ins.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Represents its sport well, but it's just too mundane to ever be something of note. One for the fans and very few others. [Issue#127, p.83]

    Basic wrestling action made all the better by deep customisation and accessible grappling. [Issue#91, p.86]

    Lococycle is full of Twisted Pixel’s wacky brand of humour and is animated excellently, but the limited gameplay just holds it back from being a must-have.

    It’s not all bad. Through the slow-boil of falling standards, sometimes we found ourselves not hating it as much we probably should have and, occasionally, there were glimpses of what Aliens: Colonial Marines could have been, should have been. It’s best at being an intense shooter, but sadly that intensity is all too rare.

    With so many better RTSs to play there’s no need to even look at Stormrise.

    You'll find more action at a sports day for coma patients. Still, it has a bizarre appeal, just don't blame us for feeling guilty afterwards. [Issue 15, p.93]

    • 48 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Ugly, limited and significantly worse than previous games in the series. [Issue#118, p.86]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Yes it's a typical movie license, but that's not to say that Eragon won't appeal to gamers that like simple gameplay. [Issue 15, p.91]

    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A title revered for its looks in the years gone by both ages badly and succumbs to design logic issues... [Issue#65, p.105]

    • 40 Critic Score
    Very few redeeming features can pull SA back from the brink of feeling more like a half finished game with unforgiving controls. It will leave you with blisters, but not the good kind.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Menus, options and over-designed mechanics prevent you from ever getting into it. [Issue#123, p.83]

    A good idea in principle, and one that could have made for a great game, but its execution is so poor that it ends up looking like a complete mess. [Issue#75, p.76]

    This game is a fossilised turd that never deserved to be excavated. [Issue#93, p.85]

    So many cliches, so little time. [Issue#40, p.103]

    Certainly not high art, but Saw II has its moments, and could be worth a look for someone after a couple of nights worth of fairly brainless entertainment. [Issue#65, p.89]

    When it comes down to it, Crashed Ice isn't much more than an extra bit of advertising for Red Bull's own tournament. [Issue#94, p.82]

    A messy control system. [Issue#67, p.88]

    This game's destiny? The bargain bin. [Issue#78, p.84]

    Just don't play that bloody enhanced version, you'll never forgive yourself. [Issue#29, p.118]

    Pales next to the likes of Torchlight and the DeathSpank games. [Issue#74, p.102]

    • 50 Critic Score
    Trouble is, it all controls a little too crisply for our liking. [Issue#37, p.117]
