There's no need for another basketball game series if the NBA 2K franchise keeps releasing games like this. [Jan 2013, p.74]- Hyper Magazine

Bland, glitchy, linear to a fault and hopelessly redundant. You could go your whole life without playing this and not miss anything. [Jan 2013, p.72]- Hyper Magazine

Some great level design hampered by some poor companion AI and sometimes inadequate controls. [Jan 2013, p.70]- Hyper Magazine

Great multiplayer and a huge sandbox to play in make this a wild and crazy ride. [Jan 2013, p.64]- Hyper Magazine

Depending on what you're after, it's either the best or worst CoD ever. If you only play multiplayer, jump in without reservations. [Jan 2013, p.62]- Hyper Magazine

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

An ambitious attempt at making a simple but compelling game, hampered by a device that's not quite up for it. [Jan 2013, p.81]- Hyper Magazine

The absolute lowest point in this gen's lunatic JRPG precedent thus far. [Jan 2013, p.80]- Hyper Magazine

Pleasant, but not particularly memorable. [Jan 2013, p.78]- Hyper Magazine

Acquire's joyously unusual samurai series, totally unmade by some seriously questionable gameplay tweaks. [Jan 2013, p.76]- Hyper Magazine

- Critic Score
A sweet, good-natured puzzler that continues the series' traditions with some great new elements, too. [Jan 2013, p.69]- Hyper Magazine

- Critic Score
A solid re-tread of a Wii classic, but one that lost the charm of its source material along the way. [Jan 2013, p.68]- Hyper Magazine
Posted Dec 17, 2012 -
- Critic Score
A drug-induced coma of violence, strategy, death and rebirth. [Jan 2013, p.67]- Hyper Magazine

Halo 4 eschews esoteric delivery for a sledgehammer story with a blockbuster aesthetic. Epic, engaging and sensorially awesome. [Jan 2013, p.60]- Hyper Magazine

ZombiU is too packed full of controls and gameplay ideas to make a cohesive whole, but it's still a welcome addition to the genre. [Jan 2013, p.58]- Hyper Magazine

This is conceptually cool, as you man helicopters, firefighters, and other units all at once, but also quite dull. [Dec 2012, p.29]- Hyper Magazine

It's a little fiddly, but Jungle Run is a beautiful way to while away a few hours. [Dec 2012, p.29]- Hyper Magazine

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

The fluidity and speed of FIFA makes it pure joy to play, an area where it reigns supreme over its rival Pro Evo.- Hyper Magazine

If more maps and game modes are released, War of the Roses could turn into quite a niche time sink. Whether such hope is worth gambling $29.99 US on is up to you. [Dec 2012]- Hyper Magazine

There's an interesting idea at the core of Of Orcs and Men, but the muddled delivery and presentation make it very forgettable. [Dec 2012]- Hyper Magazine

In its attempt to make the Forza brand more accessible, Horizon has delivered a ride that is fun for brief spurts yet doesn't reward mastery of the vehicles within. [Dec 2012]- Hyper Magazine

Torchlight 2 is a distilled Diablo, a pure addictive flow of loot, gibs and skill trees. All for a third of the price. [Dec 2012]- Hyper Magazine

DOA5 plays it too safe, coming across as more of a revision or remake of DOA4 than a full sequel in its own right. [Dec 2012]- Hyper Magazine

Even if it a lot of it comes down to dice rolling or coin flips, FTL leaves the player more than enough control to create a compelling, addictive experience.- Hyper Magazine

Beautifully refined controls, a vibrantly silly world and some fantastically designed levels, Joe Danger 2 is a hugely likeable game. [Dec 2012]- Hyper Magazine

While players, new and old, may shrug off the new Pandaren race for its lack of ferocity, Blizzard actually did a good job with producing interesting content that enriches the gameplay of World of Warcraft. [Dec 2012]- Hyper Magazine
