Brimming with intelligent game design. [Issue#137, p.121]

Outside of its many and varied technical problems, State of Decay is still one of the most accomplished Xbox Live Arcade game to date. [Issue#137, p.121]

Unique. [Issue#137, p.120]

Merely an expensive luxury. [Issue#137, p.119]

Brothers is exactly the length you want it to be, showing just enough of its hand when it comes to the tale of these two siblings for it to live long in the memory. [Issue#137, p.118]

It's a lean game. [Issue#137, p.117]

There's the hollow shell of a game. [Issue#137, p.116]

Feels like it is in desperate need of a decade of evolution, to move out of the shadow of its peers. [Issue#137, p.114]

Full of humor and charm. [Issue#137, p.112]

Another unmissable release from Relic Entertainment. [Issue#137, p.110]

One the one hand what’s already here is enjoyable and compelling, for the comparatively short amount of time it’ll take you to play through it, but the promise of more makes me feel like Shadowrun Returns is only going to grow in value as time goes on. If the players really latch onto the capabilities of the editor, it’s going to be an incredible rich offering, and one that could theoretically never stop giving.

These additional modes are a lot of fun, providing as they do bite-size portions of Pikmin action that you can enjoy with a friend, and definitely give you a reason to keep coming back to the game. But honestly, the campaign has so many nooks and crannies to explore and hidden fruit and data files to find that once you’ve reached the end of the story you’ll want to jump back in straight away.

It’s the videogame equivalent of a firework show: you’ll marvel at the pyrotechnics, but while your eyes and ears are in for a treat, there’s little here to engage your brain.

There are worse ways to spend a weekend than playing through your own trashy western novel. [Issue#136, p.119]

A safe bet for those who missed it the first time around. [Issue#136, p.116]

It's certainly fun while it lasts. [Issue#136, p.113]

A few hours ambling around this vapid environment is far too long. [Issue#136, p.113]

Heavy on parlour tricks but lacking any real substance. [Issue#136, p.112]

It is hilariously awkward to control. [Issue#136, p.111]

It's a game that just keeps giving, even as it tears your life from you. [Issue#136, p.110]

The stealth mechanics are so pure. [Issue#136, p.110]

This is the best way to experience Revelations, but it's too indecisive about its approach and not nearly polished enough to work its way into the must-play category for entrenched Resi fans. [Issue#136, p.109]

It's a meaty, gratifying dose of excess that refuses to pander to subtlety. [Issue#136, p.108]

A distinctly Japanese curio that will find a moderate audience, but certainly not the console-defining experience the PS Vita is still desperately searching for. [Issue#136, p.104]

Represents the best version of Animal Crossing to date. [Issue#136, p.102]

What’s most aggravating about Remember Me is that there’s a weapons-grade masterpiece buried somewhere inside it, and for all of its many flaws, it’s still difficult not to root for it.

Be prepared to get occasionally frustrated by a rather limited solo experience. [Issue#136, p.98]

Very ambitious, but we’d urge them to concentrate on the game; with poor matchmaking, few maps, overly simple game modes and a limited free game, players might not stick around. And that would be a shame.
