    Accessible, addictive and oodles of fun. [Jan 2014, p.62]

    A lengthy, well-balanced tactical RPG best suited to Pokefans new to the strategy arena. [Oct 2012, p.66]

    • 70 Critic Score
    Bitterback isle is a wonderful dungeon and a pleasure to explore, but as a package Dark Arisen is let down by Capcom's cynical attempt to squeeze more cash out of dedicated fans. [June 2013, p.74]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Rises to the occasion, even if it's not quite "Metal Gear" solid. A slightly tweaked, Kojima-written sequel would be perfect. [Apr 2013, p.61]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Everything is tied together by yet another gorgeous soundtrack by long term Sakaguchi collaborator and true mater of the art, Nobuo Uematsu. [May 2012, p.62]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Customisation and upgrades keep Luftrausers compelling over the long-term. [June 2014, p.70]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A blast to play either way, Infamous: Second Son's only detractor is its rigid morality (and floaty imprecise climbing mechanics). Let us swim in the muddied waters. [June 2014, p.55]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A grim, tight, wonderful story of prostitution, loan-sharking and power plays. [Issue#254, p.59]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With limited content that is painfully slow to unlock, not to mention issues with AI and multiplayer, Forza 5 scrapes by as [a] decent launch title thanks to its immaculate presentation. [Feb 2014, p.70]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A meticulous, engaging game and accomplished sequel that improves upon its predecessors in an organic way series fans will appreciate. [Jan 2013, p.55]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Intelligent level design, solid plot and gunplay options aplenty make this puppy something you'll want to revisit. [Issue#250, p.60]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An excellent game, identical to the original in many respects, but bigger and more engrossing. [June 2012, p.75]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore

    Extremely well executed and addictive. [March 2013, p.27]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Old fashioned in all the right ways (and some wrong ones too). [Issue#255, p.60]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's hard to fault Lego Batman 2, but it's hard to get very excited about it either. [Sept 2012, p.79]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tight, solid fun. [Nov 2012, p.72]

    Easily one of the best looking launch titles available. [May 2012, p.78]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A unique and captivating multiplayer experience that rewards team work over personal glory. But make sure you bring friends for the true experience. [Nov 2013, p.62]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Super fun on your own, but needs more freedom in co-op. [Issue#257, p.72]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A surprisingly engaging campaign with a slew of co-op options, let down by okay graphics and inconsistent connectivity. Get some. [Aug 2012, p.66]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Succinct, smart, tight, fresh, mature and beautiful. One of the year's standout titles. [Dec 2012]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's great, but not quite as strong as either series' peak. [June 2014, p.66]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It looks really nice, but Lionheart Tactics never shines. [June 2014, p.79]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An enjoyable bed-and-bus time distraction that is perhaps just a sequel away from greatness. [Apr 2014, p.60]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's Gears 3, minus pacing and ambition. It's still fantastically enjoyable, but it's easily the least interesting Gears game. [June 2013, p.64]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's forceful, gotta give it that. [Issue#251, p.82]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a little too easy to get far fast though. [May 2012, p.29]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Improved immeasurably by its clean, amusing art style and general sense of verve. [May 2013, p.82]

    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Impossible to judge in isolation, but definitely a good start. [March 2014, p.73]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is a must for fans from the Monday Night Wars period. [Feb 2013, p.81]
