One hell of a ride that loses impact because so many others beat Dante to the punch. [Mar 2010, p.82]

With an ending guaranteed to trigger a lump in your throat, Silence is totally worth making noise about. [Jan 2017, p.80]

A fun way to spend two hours - but don't expect to remember it next month. [Oct 2018, p.68]

Like Battlefield before it, Medal of Honor is an engrossing online shooter with an above-average campaign mode bolted on. As a result, it's a purchase you should only seriously consider if your console is hooked up to the intarwebs. On a wider scale though, this reboot thrusts Medal of Honor back into the spotlight, and for the first time in ages we can't wait to see where EA take the series next. [Dec 2010, p.68]

It's short and simple. [June 2016, p.83]

Low on modes but astronomically high on fun, it's a great debut for THQ San Diego. [May 2011, p.73]

The story may be a bit grating, but those mechanics have laid some interesting groundwork. [Mar 2015, p.73]

If platforming is your drug of choice then Cloudberry Kingdom is crack cocaine. [Nov 2013, p.71]

Simplistic but amusing; one only for the targeted age group. [Christmas 2008, p.84]

Clever, pretty and endearing. [April 2015, p.63]

We absolutely loved this zombie-splattering rail shooter when it first shuffled into existence on Wii in 2009 - and it's every bit as enjoyable on PS3 with added Move support. [Dec 2011, p.96]

The controls disappoint but this is a great excuse to revisit an old favourite. [July 2012, p.92]

At once accessible and incredibly deep. But best of all, so much fun. [May 2010, p.81]

It's half an hour long and you get infinite continues, so only sign up if high-score chasing is your 'thang.' [July 2012, p.90]

A gorgeous, if currently sparse, god sim. [Jan 2013, p.89]

It looks like an arcade throwback, but Onrush takes racers to new places - if not always successfully. [Aug 2018, p.76]

Just as brilliant as they were on PS2, ZOE HD is a mech fan's dream. [Jan 2013, p.79]

The controls are intuitive. [July 2011, p.93]

The best FIFA manager yet but it lacks the depth to make the big time.

A nifty card game let down by a constant nagging to spend more cash on extra decks. [March 2012, p.99]

A gorgeous game that keeps its secrets close to its chest but is rewarding for those prepared to persist. [July 2014, p.69]

Can be very frustrating. [May 2011, p.89]

Ticks all the boxes without ever once truly capturing the imagination. Cheap, though. [Aug 2006, p.78]

It's not epic, but this is largely successful at bringing CoD to the DS. [Jan 2008, p.76]

A meaty and satisfyingly weird addition to teh 2D fighting genre. [June 2008, p.74]

Good, sometimes, great, adventuring, but 3 should try to move further from Zelda's duller tropes. [Jan 2016, p.75]

Multi-player adds afterburners to this pretty, nifty, slick acrobatic shooter. Good stuff. [Oct 2006, p.66]

What impressed as a bold experiment on Xbox 360 seems almost redundant on PS2. [Mar 2007, p.81]

Like nothing we've played before. Fun, addictive but what you see is what you get. [JPN Import; Mar 2007, p.68]

A redundant update for owners of the last two, but a great scrapper judged on its own merits. [Christmas 2010, p.82]

Bold and brutal, it has the guts to stay true to its horror roots without feeling outdated. [Christmas 2014, p.58]

For great maps, and another epic Zombie campaign. [Apr 2013, p.79]

It's the best-looking Naruto game to date - it comes with something for everyone. [Mar 2009, p.65]

No good for loners, but if you have seven chums you don't mind rubbing against, this is ace. [Nov 2013, p.73]

Hotline Miami meets Gunpoint, gets lost in its own jokes, and ends up with middling approval ratings. [Aug 2015, p.69]

A great addition to the Rock Band series; the version to buy if you've younger siblings to play. [Christmas 2009, p.76]

If you can, get four friends, four headsets, and enjoy this the way it's meant to be played. [Aug 2017, p.83]

A surprisingly expansive RPG. [Sept 2014, p.81]

Unfair at times, but the throwaway metal mayhem is a welcome diversion for the series. [July 2012, p.70]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

A soulless entry that's packed with fan service but lacks appeal for newcomers. [Dec 2009, p.63]

It's stupidly moreish, and we're kind of recommending it, despite the fact that there's not really much of a game here. [Aug 2010, p.100]

Decent depth. [Dec 2009, p.87]

It's loveable, yes, but those household tasks can be a chore for all the wrong reasons. [June 2006, p.58]

There's easily 800 kills in these 800 points. Bargain! [June 2011, p.81]

The in-game menu is the best we've seen, but no substitute for a mouse and keyboard. [Sept 2008, p.77]

A brilliantly conceived slice of history in a more palatable form than its Retro brother. [Apr 2012, p.93]

A solid scrapper. [March 2012, p.98]

Both addictive and challenging. [June 2013, p.87]

Addictive and perfect for generating some bitter competition. [Aug 2007, p.85]

While the characters are charming, the quest itself grows tired very quickly. [Issue#232, p.85]
