Despite our reservations about the plot, we had an entertaining time with Velvet Assassin. It never hits the highs of the average Hitman mission, but the game's palpable atmosphere, and solid sneaking mechanics, should satisfy anyone suffering from stealth-deprivation - and help keep your mind off the agonising wait until Agent 47, Sam Fisher and Garrett finally emerge from the gloom.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

- Critic Score
Its well made and has some clever ideas...but still a very average shooter. [Christmas 2008, p.82]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Too much streamlining has blunted FFXIII's hooks. This isn't epic, it's arduous. [May 2010, p.67]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
It's a smarter, more tactical shooter than most, but not worthy of the Flashpoint name. [July 2011, p.94]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A by-the-numbers sequel elevated to almost-play status by its terrific multiplayer. [Nov 2010, p.97]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

- Critic Score
A so-so game on an engine so old it's literally powered by steam. [Christmas 2009, p.92]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Marginally superior to the original but too many rough edges remain. [Nov 2007, p.85]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A competent knock-off of Arkham Asylum which stands head and shoulders above Sega's other Marvel tie-ins. [Nov 2011, p.107]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

An enjoyable run through the film's events, but it's barely a game in places. [May 2008, p.89]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
There's nothing broken here, but combat lacks flair and strategy is insignificant. [Jan 2008, p.68]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
At 35 quid this is pretty good value for money - even if it does star the worst character in videogames. [July 2007, p.97]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Too expensive, but find a cheap copy and it has a bit of fun to offer stealth fans.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

An average game made all the worse for having come from a superb team. A letdown. [Jan 2008, p.64]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Lacks the punch or variety to be a serious contender in the crowded shooter genre. [May 2008, p.86]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
It's sort of like reinventing the wheel, only to realise you were making a boat. [May 2009, p.65]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

- Critic Score
Not outrageous enough to mark itself out as a must-have arcade WWII flight game. [Dec 2009, p.82]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Switch off your critical faculties and there's a decent enough weekend rental here. [Issue#98, p.104]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A decent idea that falls short for a variety of eminently fixable reasons. [Feb 2010, p.80]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

An enjoyable but brief rundown of the events of the film. As missable as a Decepticon attack. [Oct 2011, p.89]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

- Critic Score
The emo-tastically tasty Ms Witch can flip and twirl like an ant-infested Lara Croft, but there's rarely ever any handy platform for her to clamber onto. The levels are as flat and one-dimensional as the gameplay - but despite its problems, you're quite likely to find it, well, a bit of a blast.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Both Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate are short, dull and inferior to the original.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Not as accomplished as Top Spin 4, not as much fun as Sega Superstars Tennis. New balls please. [July 2011, p.103]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Brainless, brash and brave: a decent shooter, that can't quite sustain the thrills. [May 2009, p.68]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Okay if you're looking for feature-filled b-ball - but EA do it better. [Jan 2008, p.78]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Not perfect. But it's a welcome way to fill time between real games once the tournament kicks off Down Under. [Nov 2011, p.107]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Fails to make any great strides after a decade away, but for a 360 platformer, it's a wonder. [Sept 2011, p.90]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Lego games are still charming but this is too bitty, and too familiar, for our tastes. [June 2011, p.103]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

In February Wet would be a rock-solid rental, in May it's a pre-owned bargain, but one week before ODST and one month after Batman, it's another Wanted-style cheeseburger in a world of filet mignon.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Get Street Fighter IV first. If you love that but want a change, get this. Cheap. [Oct 2009, p.91]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Not enough depth for the purist, but on the cheap it's a simple brawler packing an enjoyable, no-nonsense punch. [Christmas 2011, p.106]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

It's the definitive version of SPF, but still one for the experts or those with lots of time to spare. [Nov 2007, p.96]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

You'll learn plenty, and it's nicely put together - but it's a wildlife quiz that costs 40 POUNDS. [Sept 2010, p.105]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
An obscene, atmospheric and silly adventure, marred by a lot of lackustre combat. [Aug 2008, p.98]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A waste of a wonderful idea. It's vast - but inferior to most other racers. [Aug 2009, p.78]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Jim has aged gracefully but was never as good as everyone thought it was back in 1994. [Sept 2010, p.121]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Chess, Draughts and two other games you'll never play - all of which do everything you'd expect. [Dec 2007, p.96]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Lacks the fine-tuning of the "Advance Wars" series, but at 800 points it's a passable clone. [May 2008, p.98]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

The garish look is off-putting, but this sure plays a mean 8-ball. [Oct 2009, p.103]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Looks great and it's rammed with fun ideas, but it's gimped by the soft guns and float-o-characters. [May 2008, p.97]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Hexic 2 isn't quite as good as the original, but if you missed out on the first game, you can't go wrong with the sequel. [Nov 2007, p.96]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Well-made with fun co-op, but not as good as it should be. [Oct 2008, p.101]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

THE side-scrolling shooter, now possible to complete. [Apr 2009, p.103]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

The grind-heavy mechanics may be for online obsessives, but solo players shouldn't bother. [Dec 2008, p.103]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A gimmicky Ace Combat homage made by people who think you might be stupid. [May 2009, p.72]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
