5/10 | SimCity Societies | Those Maxis-faithful naysayers who crowed that Tilted Mill would sully their beloved series have sadly been proven right as the game suffers from many of the same complaints levelled at the studio's previous game, Caesar IV. |
Rating:
7/10 | Band of Bugs | Niggles aside, Band of Bugs is another solid addition to the increasingly well-stocked Live Arcade line-up |
Rating:
8/10 | Mario Strikers Charged | As the most original, admittedly surreal, take on the sport for years, Mario Strikers is a gem of a game and manages to flawlessly meet Nintendo's brief of appealing to absolutely everybody. |
Rating:
7/10 | Taito Legends 2 | With so many of Taito's best titles already accounted for in the first set, it's to be expected that this second volume ends up feeling like a completist's collection of me-too titles with few stand out offerings to get worked up about. |
Rating:
6/10 | Rafa Nadal Tennis | This is worth a go if you absolutely must have portable tennis and can't play Virtua Tennis on the PSP. |
Rating:
1/10 | SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters | This game should not be for sale in its current state |
Rating:
8/10 | World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade | Burning? More like Flaming |
Rating:
6/10 | Super Rub-a-Dub | All the evidence in Super Rub'a'Dub suggests that for non-demanding gameplay, it makes the grade but the motion sensor just isn't crisp enough for precision control |
Rating:
5/10 | 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures | It's rather revealing that this latest Live Arcade excursion into the realms of casual multiplayer amusement goes by the more mundane title of "minigolf" rather than the more traditional "crazy golf" |
Rating:
9/10 | Crackdown | In other words, being so excellent that you obliterate the single-player in a weekend is not enough to stop it being my favourite Xbox 360 game of recent times. |
| Recommend. | The Elder Scrolls IV: The Shivering Isles | Oblivion had more than its fair share of extra baubles and adventures tacked on over the past year, but this is the big one: a full-blown expansion |
Rating:
8/10 | Unreal Tournament 3 | "KILLING SPREE!" That's the stuff. |
Rating:
7/10 | Battlefield 2142 | Battlefield 2142 may be a glimpse of the future of games. I'm just not sure that I like it. |
Rating:
10/10 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion | Oblivion [...] successfully unites some of the best elements of RPG, adventure and action games and fuses them into a relentlessly immersive and intoxicating whole. |
Rating:
9/10 | Sid Meier's Civilization IV | The only problem that remains is whether I can actually make it to bed and not start another game. |
Rating:
7/10 | Quake 4 | We were hoping for rather more than a 'competent', 'fun' shooter out of Raven. |
Rating:
9/10 | F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon (FEAR) | basis. Buy it because it's a glorious novelty that won't wear off for its duration, but do expect things to move past it in the coming years. |
Rating:
8/10 | Dungeon Siege II | Good. Extremely Good. Just not as good as Diablo II. |
Rating:
8/10 | Fable: The Lost Chapters | Like any normal person dumped into a Disneyland with no responsibilities, you're bound to run riot. But maybe that's a good thing. |
Rating:
8/10 | Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory | ...Ubi has neutered the experience to pacify those lacking the patience to play it the way it had to be played in the early days. |
Rating:
9/10 | Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay | Judged on its own merits it's a game that stands tall among any of its contemporaries and in many ways beats them at their own game. |
Rating:
7/10 | Sid Meier's Pirates! - Live the Life | A rum old game. And even when it walks the plank, it walks it with style. |
Rating:
9/10 | Halo 2 | Brilliant, but not enough of a progression to deserve top marks. |
Rating:
10/10 | Half-Life 2 | Valve has done to the FPS genre what restaurants in Chinatown do to ducks... |
Rating:
8/10 | Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War | The multiplayer is very much the centre of the game. |
