    • 83 Critic Score
    Impressive. But games won't get much from it and it's unlikely to get you trim on its own. [May 2008, p.66]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Better than most disc-based Wii puzzlers, for a quarter of the price. [Sept 2008, p.84]
    • Games Master UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Tranquil puzzle-platforming that's ideal for filling five minutes. [Christmas 2008, p.84]

    • 82 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Doesn't quite blow the house down, but it's got loads of huff and puff. [Christmas 2013, p.86]

    There's great variety here, too. [May 2017, p.82]

    '80s style and sociopathic stealth return in the bitingly hard, brilliant-but-unfocused sequel. [May 2015, p.56]
    • Games Master UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Fast, furious and smothered in old-school cool. [Jan 2012, p.91]

    It might be a big dumb shooter but this is easily still our favourite ever Transformers title. [Aug 2010, p.83]

    • 83 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Not the massive leap forward that was hoped for, although there's potential for improvement. [Jan 2009, p.78]

    A rollicking good time. [Jan 2013, p.66]

    • 83 Critic Score
    A competent but uninspiring update of a classic arcade game. [July 2008, p.82]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    As brilliant on Wii as it is on DS, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity. There's no two-player - we fancied a bit of head-to-head operating or co-op. [Jan 2007, p.77]

    • 87 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Throw your copy of Forza 5 in the bin - this new entry improves on the formula in every way. [Nov 2015, p.79]

    • 83 Critic Score
    The fourth Layton doesn't try anything too drastic, but the missing mode is a real shame. [Christmas 2011, p.80]
    • Games Master UK
    • 89 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A compromised classic. [Oct 2013, p.80]

    The prehistoric charm dino-saurs this straight to success. [Summer 2015, p.73]

    • 88 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Modern Warfare 2 would be a lot to ask for on a mobile device, but the similarly titled Modern Warfare Combat gets as close as any game has yet. [Jan 2012, p.95]
    • Games Master UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Another top game in the Pokemon series and another great puzzler for the DS. [May 2006, p.56]
    • Games Master UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A tremendous - if slightly unwelcoming - conclusion to one of the smartest stories in videogames. [Sept 2016, p.77]
    • Games Master UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A treat for anyone raised on a screen the size of a custard cream. [Sept 2012, p.107]
    • Games Master UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The tongue-in-cheek humour and lush graphics make Overlord the sort of cult title games should be overjoyed to discover. [Aug 2007, p.69]
    • Games Master UK
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Touched with that Nintendo genius, but it's a very familiar kind of genius. [Jan 2007, p.64]
    • Games Master UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A fast-paced test of nerve and skill, Penarium offers all the fun of the fair in single-or multiplayer. [Dec 2015, p.70]
    • Games Master UK
    • 83 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Doesn't advance the classic Contra formula one jot, but better than 1994's "Hard Corps." [Feb 2008, p.68]
    • Games Master UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A beefy brawler but the legendary series really deserved better for its next-gen debut. [Dec 2009, p.78]
    • Games Master UK

    • 83 Critic Score
    Never syrupy, sensationalized, or cliched, but dulled by puzzles that veer between easy and illogical. [Sept 2014, p.72]
    • Games Master UK
    • 83 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The multiplayer maps need work, but otherwise this is the best Call of Duty game in years. [Jan 2015, p.66]
