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

    • 84 Critic Score
    As true a game as you're ever likely to see - it's a merciless, but fair, must. [Aug 2008, p.72]

    Like its predecessors, GRID is a bewitchingly addictive racer, astounding in how much content it has to offer.

    We don't care what the film's like, this is one of the brightest kiddie romps ever. [Sept 2008, p.73]

    In some levels the single player experience feels butchered. So much so, we occasionally found ourselves switching on a second pad, moving the other character into position and then dropping out afterwards.

    • 40 Critic Score
    Fun with friends, but the chances of finding anyone to play you are slim. [Sept 2008, p.97]

    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An obscene, atmospheric and silly adventure, marred by a lot of lackustre combat. [Aug 2008, p.98]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Lacks the sheen of "FIFA 08," but plays it off the park. A good placebo for "PES." [June 2008, p.76]

    • 56 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    With very little progress since the last Narnia, even huge fans will want a price cut. [Sept 2008, p.83]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    This pedestrian offering is a little too sterile, a little too similar, a little too short yet somehow a little too long. [Aug 2008, p.99]

    A disappointing update to a disappointing game. [Aug 2008, p.99]

    Some board games translate well. This doesn't. [Aug 2008, p.99]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 45 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Not a complete disaster but still a long way short of fun. It's just...okay. [July 2008, p.80]

    Rockstar have surpassed themselves, delivering unquestionably the definitive GTA and perhaps the greatest videogame of all time. [June 2008]

    • 60 Critic Score
    "Uno" still sits smugly atop the XBLA card game throne, but Lost Cities is a worthy alternative. [Aug 2008, p.99]

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

    Over 100 minigames, none of them as good as the "Wario" equivalents. [July 2008, p.96]

    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    One of Atari's better visual upgrades, but not nearly as much fun 28 years after it first hit arcades. [July 2008, p.96]

    Ikaruga isn't tough our unfair, and is always kind enough to encourage perfect play without ever demanding it. [June 2008, p.94]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 45 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A great game, but one which doesn't even come close to doing what it says on the tin. [July 2008, p.95]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A good combo which works well, but the elements are already fun enough without muddying the waters. [July 2008, p.96]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 65 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
    • 66 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Starts off bravely but gives way to 'fraidy cat design. Balls of steel, knob of butter. [June 2008, p.86]

    But for all the glee of the slaughter, Viking is a game butting its head against the limits of its genre. There isn't great variety in the tasks or the bosses you face and a few more genuinely off-story quests would be nice.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Undoubtedly the best tennis game on 360 featuring Sonic. Except for... no, this is the best.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Still a brilliant shooter, but needed better levels and more new content. [May 2008, p.81]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Simply not at all comfortable on 360. [June 2008, p.96]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A conversation so watered down it's hard to find where the good game has gone. [June 2008, p.96]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    If Condemned was the starter, this is the main course. Gory, dark and great. [Apr 2008, p.64]

    • 76 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Even with its faults, PES 2008 is still unquestionably a better game than its predecessors. It may be lacking in a couple of areas (hell, they needed to justify making next year's PES 2009 after all...), but PES 2008 remains far more than a yearly update; it's the first true next gen iteration of Xbox World's most played game. [Dec 2007, p.64]
