A stunning extreme sports title that nicely fills the void left by EA Big. [Dec 2008, p.80]

Regains the silliness lost in Indy, and tightens up the formula neatly.

A semi-decent racer hidden behind layers of bad design and presentation. [Christmas 2008, p.72]

If you've played Feeding Frenzy, you'll be okay doing without the sequel. [Christmas 2008, p.94]

Underplayed. [Feb 2009, p.104]

The Force Unleashed is more of a highly impressive tech demo with a great narrative tagged on, with any actual game present inserted only as an afterthought.

This latest entry offers plenty for fans, but makes no concessions to anyone else. [Feb 2009, p.80]

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

HG's victory is an academic one. [Jan 2009, p.81]

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

An essential for any 2D fighting fan, even with the fairly bare-boned Neo Geo port. [Dec 2008, p.103]

It'll be big in Japan; over here, not so much. [Christmas 2008, p.94]

No more than a tech demo for the next game - "Smackdown 2009" preview code is twice the game this is. [Dec 2008, p.90]

Lacks the epic feel and skills of "NHL 09" but does offer lots of goals. [Christmas 2008, p.62]

Perversely, and in spite of its difficulty, Facebreaker can still be completed with just two buttons.

Nothing other than nice graphics. [Dec 2008, p.103]

Exciting, but the real battle is against the controls. [Dec 2008, p.103]

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

Swallow the shame of buying this and you'll own one of the 360's finest. [Dec 2008, p.94]

Shabby around the edges - but that only adds to the charm of this daft playground. [Dec 2008, p.86]

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

The series' next gen debut plays it safe, but will doubtless charm the pants off fans. [Aug 2009, p.80]

The same great game it was last year, only with more pointless bolted-on bits.

Inventive fun, just not the pure twitch shoot-'em-up that the name suggests. [Dec 2008, p.102]

Ultimately though, when you start to crave any given section of the game to end just because you're so utterly bored of it, when you're hacking your way through another swarm of metal enemies utterly identical to those you fought in the last twelve (almost) identical rooms, you're inevitably going to start to feel like there's something not quite right with Too Human. And you'd be right.

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

The retroest modern game you'll play and not nearly as updated as it could be. [Oct 2008, p.101]
