Remains saddled with enough broken parts to guarantee this title a quick trip to the slag heap in the sky. [Sept 2002, p.78] -

Given the material, Away Team fails to reach its potential - or even come close. [June 2001, p.69] -

Critic Score 49
A botched opportunity for what could have been a cool game. [Mar 2001, p.49] -

Only for hardcore fans of Halle Berry or aficionados of softcore porn. [Nov 2004, p.96] -

The controls are awful...L.A. is nowhere near fully modeled. [July 2004, p.60] -

This game is terminal. Let it find the peace it deserves. [Mar 2006, p.50] -

Critic Score 49
But it's the game's many bugs and glitches, not mere repetition, which sap Dark Messiah's might and magic. [Feb. 2007, p.77] -

Critic Score 49
As it stands, it's an almost-there game that you can't stop playing in the hope that it eventually gets better. It doesn't, but that might change if developer Koios Works goes back to the drawing board in a few areas. [Nov. 2006, p.76] -

Instead of spending $50 on Beowulf the game, read the poem instead; this game isn't epic, it's just epically tedious. [Feb 2008, p.74] -

Critic Score 49
Dull combat, countless boring gray rooms and an abandoned story make Cryostasis as appealing as frozen dog droppings. [Aug 2009, p.76] -

Many great games have been built on the concept of expanding your space empire through diplomacy, trade and war. Armada 2526 is not one of them. [Nov 2010, p.83] -

Only diehard "Blair Witch" fans are going to want this one, and then only because it's cheap. [Feb 2001, p.88] -

Critic Score 48
While it's an ambitious and lengthy adventure, the game is spoiled by an overly confusing story, many ambiguous puzzles, and a flawed interface. [July 2002, p.73] -

History Buffs may consider this "Age of Empires" clone if it's cheap, but all else leave it be. [Apr 2001, p.84] -

Critic Score 48
It's too bad Firestarter is executed so poorly because the graphics engine is fantastic, packed with reflections, great textures, and all manner of flashy high-tech visual doo-dads. [May 2004, p.67] -

Critic Score 48
Its generic plot and presentation are so bland, the game's few inventive features are very likely to be lost on most who play it. [Holiday 2004, p.94] -

Nostalgic "bookshelf value" aside, this collection isn't really worth the time or money. [August 2002, p.67] -

With about 5 more updates, PSU might be capable of holding one's attention. [Feb. 2007, p.72] -

This point-and-click adventure should have stayed in Italy. [July 2006, p.99] -

Unless you're jonesing for an adventure game fix, your time's better spent rearranging your Netflix queue. [Aug 2008, p.72] -

Rome seems rushed and poorly realized. [Apr 2008, p.70] -

Critic Score 48
The Chosen is single-player only, which is probably for the best--you'd be hard-pressed to find many other people playing it. [Mar 2008, p.74] -
-
-
Critic Score 48
Darkness Within oversells its Lovecraftian theme because there's just way too much reading and not enough adventuring to keep our interest up. [Mar 2008, p.81] -

The saddest part about Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is that the only people willing to endure such a sloppy port are hard-core Spider-Man fans--the same group to whom the plot will make the least sense. [Jan 2009, p.59] -
