Two over-exposed series taking a creaky final ride together. [Feb 2012, p.85]

Despite the dastardly DLC plan, a superb fighting game for all levels of experience with the genre. [Aug 2018, p.81]

It uses the Wii controller well, but it's samey and multi-player isn't as good as expected. [Christmas 2006, p.84]

Strider's pacy combat cuts deep and its challenge escalates at a consistently rewarding rate. [Apr 2014, p.74]

Equal parts shooty and thinky, this is a deeply involving action game with a brain. [Sept 2012, p.96]

Another good addition to the series but this isn't the 'next-gen' Madden to blow you away. [Oct 2007, p.79]

A worthy alternative to the likes of Dirt. [Apr 2013, p.79]

All singing, all dancing but not actually all that good. [June 2006, p.79]

Repays the dedicated in spades. Top stuff. [July 2013, p.79]

An underwhelming campaign mode doesn't ruin what is still a solid tactical strategy game. [Nov 2018, p.68]

Another charming gem for Vita. [Apr 2013, p.86]

You can get the same games cheaper elsewhere, so why bother? [Apr 2009, p.82]

Slightly dumbed down in the name of accessibility, but packed with aquatic goodness. [Apr 2010, p.67]

Just as efficient as its clockwork nature would seem to suggest - this is splendid form. [Jan 2007, p.70]

A decent 2D fighter that fully deserves the birthday celebration but feels a little rushed. [July 2011, p.91]

All in all, it's not that much bang for your buck, although the core game remains as addictive and life-mimicking as ever. [Mar 2011, p.98]

Buy this and wonder why more horror-themed games aren't this smart, different and funny. [Aug 2011, p.78]

Another great Singstar, but we want some new genre-specific titles, please. [Dec 2006, p.94]

Pets is a worthy expansion pack. It's almost as much fun as a stick and a real dog. [Dec 2006, p.75]

Crysis 3 is a supermodel of an FPS. On consoles there's less makeup to conceal the lack of ideas, but on a two-grand PC, the beauty is such that it barely matters. The division is so significant, however, that we suggest knocking a few points off of the score if you're playing on the former. [April 2013, p.74]

There's certainly enough quantity and quality to justify the asking price for genre fans. [Sept 2015, p.81]

Insanely deep strategy, whether you're a tactician or a politician. [Dec 2013, p.72]

A fantastic-looking RPG, packed with innovation and able to grab your attention. [Sept 2011, p.95]

While the beats of this episode are broadly predictable, it pulls off plenty of brilliantly nasty surprises, triggering some of the most genuinely tense and frightening moments we've ever had with the series. [Oct 2018, p.84]

There's still plenty of retro fun to be had. [May 2013, p.89]

Even being unfamiliar with the sport, we still found The Bigs 2 an entertaining distraction. [Oct 2009, p.79]

Getting to the bottom of the countdown mystery in Mega City One is great fun, for those with the patience for a well-told story. [Nov 2012, p.91]

A smart and intensely quick-fire endless runner, infused with equal charm and rage. [Nov 2012, p.92]
