    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.

    Alienates gamers to appease the fans and ends up impressing neither party. [Jan 2010, p.75]

    We appreciate that mini-games must be simple and intuitive, but that doesn't mean they can't be imaginative, or hide subtle depths and plenty of replayability, or at least pretend they're doing something exciting. Party Animals does none of these.

    With very little progress since the last Narnia, even huge fans will want a price cut. [Sept 2008, p.83]

    Too expensive, but find a cheap copy and it has a bit of fun to offer stealth fans.

    • 25 Critic Score
    Middling fun in small doses, but how many times can you play the same game? [Dec 2007, p.85]

    The addition of online co-op and Deathmatch modes maybe elevates Monster Madness above the bottom tier of Live Arcade titles, but at full price there will probably be so few people playing that it's unlikely to be a vibrant online community.

    • 20 Critic Score
    A strong license attached to an abysmal game, like a Ferrari attached to a boat anchor. [June 2009, p.95]

    Not shat or shovel, Asteroids Deluxe is one of the very, very few early eighties games that still play well. [Feb 2008, p.94]

    A good game, but one which feels eerily out of place and out of time. [Sept 2008, p.79]

    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.

    Online multiplayer would maybe be fun - if anyone were playing, which they aren't. Disappointing. [Jan 2008, p.94]

    Play basketball on half a court while Chuck D disses your sister. Nope. [June 2008, p.79]

    Only those who have invested in the Warhammer world can really overlook its flaws as an RTS. [Dec 2008, p.82]

    Everything about LOTR: Conquest is bad. [Mar 2009, p.80]

    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]

    Expensive at half the price, this is boring for Lost fans and baffling for the rest. [May 2008, p.72]

    Basic game mechanics, but a wealth of content to uncover. Definitely an acquired taste. [May 2010, p.81]

    Hulk himself is a terrific creation. The game that surrounds him? Not so much. [Sept 2008, p.75]

    Aside from a few nice options, sadly this is second-rate sword-slashery. Try Ninety-Nine Nights instead.

    There was no need to reheat this, and no need for you to suffer it. [Feb 2012, p.111]

    Nice animation - shame we can't always tell what's happening on the rest of the field. [Aug 2010, p.98]

    Simply not at all comfortable on 360. [June 2008, p.96]

    • 54 Metascore
    • 23 Critic Score
    A wretched game that totally fails to compete with other hack-'n'-slashers on 360.

    • 28 Critic Score
    A collection of utterly shoddy Winter Olympics themed mini-games. Avoid. [Apr 2010, p.97]

    Painfully familiar in a Dynasty Warriors style. [Jan 2010, p.86]

    It's one of the pooer clones of the "Snood" formula, but at least it doesn't lack charm or character. [Apr 2008, p.96]

    How a game which looks like this can have a framerate like THAT is beyond us. Knock yourself out, though. [Apr 2008, p.96]

    A worthless exercise in over-designed pap, based on a game you already own. [Apr 2009, p.104]
