    Thankfully coutroom battles are still as tense as ever, but it's clear the script was written by the B-team without series head Shu Takumi. [Jan 2014, p.74]

    A pleasant but rote and slightly bland RPG with a handful of fine ideas that aren't pushed enough. [Oct 2013, p.68]

    It's great fun, but the touch screen will never be ideal because your finger is occasionally going to cover up incoming bullets. [Oct 2012, p.25]

    Great strategic action, made better by the addition of an open campaign. Some tutorials would have been nice. [Issue#257, p.71]

    Probably the best next gen exclusive we've seen so far. It's not perfect but a great return to form for Insomniac. [Issue#257, p.56]

    If you haven't played these before, the console release is for you. For super fans, the Vita version is still highly enjoyable. [Sept 2012, p.75]

    Boring for normal people. Add [10 points] for each minute you can hold forth on the torque output of 1990s Skyline variants. [March 2014, p.72]

    Madden 13 marks a vast improvement over the past few Maddens. The first one in a while. [Dec 2012]

    Artfully drawn, confronting and informative this is a different look at war, its consequences and it isn't afraid to put you though the wringer. Play it. [Issue#251, p.77]

    Exhilarating, rewarding and maddeningly frustrating, you'll have an intense love-hate relationship with Trials Fusion, always chasing that elusive absolutely magical run. [Issue#249, p.63]

    Between the jokey dialog you uncover during missions, the opening thank-you screen, and the focus on user-created content, Volume is a charming game: it’s the sort of game that makes you feel as though if you ever met the lead designer, you’d pretend to like it just a little more than you actually did.

    A fantastic combination of fantasy storytelling and RPG tactics. One hell of a debut from Stoic. [Apr 2014, p.62]

    With the possible exception of the Katamari games, there are few other series that have as good a grasp on scale as God of War. [Issue#235]

    Sleeping Dogs is an addictive diamond in the rough with a compelling story and insane combat only slightly let down by poor driving and racing mechanics. [Oct 2012, p.54]

    A beautiful, dynamic, unforgiving and remarkably snowy RTS that perfectly showcases the absolute hell that was the Eastern Front. [Aug 2013, p.64]
