    • 50 Critic Score
    A mess of interesting ideas inexpertly implemented, resulting in a horribly generic action game that fails to live up to its promise. [Aug 2013, p.68]

    There's just something infectiously funky and likable about the whole thing. [Aug 2013, p.82]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 75 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Quite frustrating and difficult to get into. It doesn't have the 'just one more go' pull these games need. [Aug 2013, p.82]

    • 76 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's held back by its own fighting system. [Aug 2013, p.82]

    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An incredibly elegant piece of design. [Aug 2013, p.82]

    • 78 Metascore

    A bit of a bargain. [Aug 2013, p.82]

    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Still one of the best RPGs around. As great as the port is, though, it'll never quite match using a keyboard or controller. [Aug 2013, p.81]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Still the best 2D platformer in years. [Aug 2013, p.77]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great way back into the point and click genre - but be prepared to invest a little time. [Aug 2013, p.76]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Not a good game, but it tries so hard to please it's kind of adorable. [Aug 2013, p.74]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Lacks a proper end game, but for the 12 odd hours it will take to finish the campaign is still a great deal of fun. [Aug 2013, p.66]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A beautiful, dynamic, unforgiving and remarkably snowy RTS that perfectly showcases the absolute hell that was the Eastern Front. [Aug 2013, p.64]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 95 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    As someone who was never a great fan of Uncharted or Jak and Daxter, I am genuinely amazed at how much I liked this game. If this isn't art, then I don't know what is. [Aug 2013, p.59]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fine attempt at something a bit different. [July 2013, p.85]

    • 71 Metascore

    Cute and simple and easy as hell. [July 2013, p.85]

    Listless tapping and sliding. [July 2013, p.85]

    Crabitron's charm wins out. [July 2013, p.85]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The art style and general design principles are smart. [July 2013, p.84]

    Guilty fun. [July 2013, p.84]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A strong, smart, moderately lengthy adventure game. [July 2013, p.84]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's short and perhaps too forgiving for some, but Sorcery is a fun romp that respects your decisions. [July 2013, p.83]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A vibrant, compact and ruthlessly difficult Metroidvania let down only slightly by its own (occasionally) insufferable self-awareness. [July 2013, p.81]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Careless, clumsy, and ugly as sin, Revelations may have been great on 3DS, but is out of its depth on a home console. [July 2013, p.80]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Blood Dragon is to the 80s what Fallout is to the 50s. [July 2013, p.78]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Ignore Casual mode, set the difficulty to hard, and enjoy what is arguably the best turn-based strategy game released since Final Fantasy Tactics. [July 2013, p.76]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mortal Kombat continues to nail the low bar it sets for itself, but we wouldn't want it any other way. [July 2013, p.75]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Codemasters' down the line look at racing doesn't quite make it to the final podium. [July 2013, p.74]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 69 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    With surprisingly intricate tactical gameplay hidden behind a charming interface and nonchalant storytelling, 7 Grand Steps is one of gaming's greatest metaphors for life. [July 2013, p.73]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    All the problems of the first game and no new ideas. Terry Bogan is awesome. Riptide is painfully average. [July 2013, p.72]

    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    With its straight focus, repetitive missions and static world, Defiance shouldn't work as well as it does. There's potential here. [July 2013, p.69]
