    Sonic's latest adventure fails yet again to live up to the delight and fast-paced action we grew with, mostly due to the structure of the challenges. Silver's pretty cool, though. [Issue 14, p.82]

    The first truly decent wrestling game on the Xbox format but it's marred by two rather massive flaws that really effect how the game plays. If they weren't there, it'd score much higher. [Issue 14, p.80]

    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]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As playable as ever but too similar to the original even at a lower price tag. [Issue 18, p.94]

    Very pretty to look at and a lot of attention has been paid to female anatomy, but it has no substance whatsoever. [Issue 15, p.82]

    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With buckets of replayability and a big heart to match, Rare has finally come good and delivered a belter of a game. Wipes away rancid memories of "Perfect Dark" and makes you smile inside. [Issue 14, p.78]

    It's gone slightly crusty and yellowed with age but the sheer difficulty ensures this remains as addictive a challenge as ever before. [Issue 14, p.116]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Unsullied by over-complication and masterfully focused, Gears of War aims to offer the most bang per buck yet seen in a videogame, and we're glad to say it does just that. [Issue 14, p.72]

    Not likely to win any new fans to the series but seasoned players should be satisfied. [Issue 14, p.94]

    If skateboard antics are your sort of thing, the refinements made will make this right up your alley. [Issue 14, p.92]

    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An adrenaline-soaked blend of terror and action. If it wasn't for the fact that there's little between the PC and 360 versions, F.E.A.R. would no doubt have scored higher. [Issue 13, p.94]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Apart from the customisation, the wild choice of races, the territory slant and the team-mates, this is bloody good fun. Everyone from casual racers to hardcore petrolheads should try it. [Issue 13, p.86]

    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Better than expected, but we weren't expecting much. With some tightening, Pro Evo vs. Fifa could be close next year. [Issue 13, p.91]

    • 64 Metascore
    • 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]

    It's got potential but it needs less linear gameplay. [Issue 14, p.89]

    If only all 400-point games had this much attention to detail. [Issue #22, p.115]

    Find good opponents, play private matches and enjoy. [Issue 14, p.116]

    The game itself is fine but the issue is the pricing. [Issue 14, p.116]

    A worthy continuation of a superb series that is unfortunately over way too quickly. When a game is this great you simply don't want it to finish. [Issue 13, p.82]

    Glorious rendition of the gentleman's game that features more options than you can shake a nin iron at. [Issue 14, p.88]

    A game that sucked in 1982 and amazingly, sucks even more in 2006. [Issue 14, p.116]

    It's free, but you get what you pay for. [Issue 13, p.116]

    Almost like "GTA" without any of the character. For these short bursts of satisfaction alone this is more than worth getting - however, don't be surprised when you end up switching off halfway through a mission and start praying that "Mercenaries 2" will fill the hole. [Issue # 11, p.80]

    Doom has more personality than "Halo"...you know it's true. [Issue 13, p.116]

    An utter waste of time and you money, please ensure this unambitious racer never enters your 360. [Issue 13, p.88]

    Disappointing isn't the word. What is the word...Lazy? Rubbish? It's probably a word we can't print. [Issue 13, p.90]

    We thought we'd seen all there was to see wtih the NBA licensed games, but 2K7 has taken us by surprise. [Issue 14, p.85]

    While poker doesn't give a great deal of room for manoeuvre, there's a lot of meat here for fans to chomp through. It's just a shame the marketplace version steals its thunder. [Issue # 16, p.96]

    Certainly not a bad game but this is very much a last-gen title, with a few bells and whistles tacked on. [Issue 13, p.92]

    Hackneyed missions and claustrophobic environments are just two of Open Season's problems. Is the box recyclable? [Issue 13, p.89]
