A wasted opportunity - frustrating to play and too ugly to love. [Dec 2011, p.98]

Other on-rail shooters are a lesson in design Aces of the Galaxy must have skipped. [Sept 2008, p.95]

A good concept ruined by clunky mechanics and a poor progression system. On a par with Midway's "TNA Impact." [June 2009, p.80]

When it's bad, it's not too bad. When it's good, it rules. A great Western with a few niggles.

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

A great bit of old-fashioned block busting fun marred slightly by the sluggish controls. [Mar 2009, p.94]

Inadequate next to EA's title. [Jan 2008, p.79]

A truly fantastic surprise. [Feb 2010, p.86]

Insanely linear and frustrating, but it absolutely nails the movie experience.

If you want a game to show off your HDTV and impress your mates go and buy Gears. But if you want a sports game that's deep, rewarding and absorbing then World Snooker Championship 2007 sinks the pink.

A fantastic old-fashioned fighter that's maybe a little too...safe. [Mar 2009, p.78]

A disappointing 24/7 mode and huge repetition betray superb new mechanics. [Christmas 2007, p.70]

The trouble is, while their numerous parodies of classic games are often missile-guided barbs that'll nuke your funny bone, they're surrounded by an absolute shatfest in gameplay terms that, stripped of its Grade A license and related idiosyncrasies, would normally be taken outside, beaten with a stick, strung up and strangled until dead.

There's fun (in parts) but this is technically iffy and delivers a limited world.

Technical marvel with truly unique appeal - a Dead Space without the borders or boundaries.

Undisputedly dazzling - but there's an overly familiar vibe. Deserved to be better than this. [Sept 2010, p.94]

An okay-looking action game. [Apr 2009, p.90]

Not as accomplished as Top Spin 4, not as much fun as Sega Superstars Tennis. New balls please. [July 2011, p.103]

Although we've been here many times before, Timeshift is still a slick shooter with some neat ideas. [Christmas 2007, p.83]

Like the last girl in the pub after closing time - it looks ropey but it's dead dirty. [Feb 2008, p.80]

Do you like Guitar Hero and Aerosmith? This is the game for your. But everyone else? Give it a miss. [Sept 2008, p.78]

A nondescript but very decent rendition of a nationally-derided sport. [July 2008, p.82]

One of the smartest board ports yet, with a cracking interface to go with it. [Oct 2008, p.102]

Moon is a clever zombie map fraught with panic and drama - something which CoDBLOPS already has in ample supply. Bluntly put, a rip-off.

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

Whether it's worth adding to your FPS library, however, depends largely on your own multiplayer desires. [May 2011, p.83]

It's still cheaper than a month at Fitness First. [Oct 2011, p.85]

It still definitely has its charms, but - on court - it's feeling older than Ilie Nastase. [Aug 2009, p.84]
