    As a game, Escape Trick: Rock City Prison is turgid and infuriating. [Jan 2012, p.123]

    • 63 Critic Score
    Genuinely fresh ideas don't come along very often, but this odd strategy title feels flabby and undercooked. [Jan 2012, p.123]

    Fans have been ill-served on the pinball front for too long now, but this is a giant nudge in the right direction. [Jan 2012, p.122]

    A phenomenon like Moshi Monsters owes its trusting fanbase better. [Jan 2012, p.117]

    Feels like a step back after the more challenging Bejeweled Twist. [Jan 2012, p.117]

    Shonky physics, bland tracks, hopelessly vague powerups - this one's got it all! [Jan 2012, p.116]

    Still one of the better wrestling games of recent times. [Jan 2012, p.116]

    • 80 Critic Score
    By far and away the best football sim on a handheld - but the things that make the 3DS hardware so different are the things that make PES 2012 worse. [Jan 2012, p.116]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Crude presentation and lack of content don't completely let down what's undeniably a fascinating idea. They try really hard, though making this a worthwhile but insubstantial game. [Jan 2012, p.115]

    While Centipede ably fulfills its remit, it doesn't really try to go beyond it. [Jan 2012, p.114]

    If only we could go back in time and make Telltale leave this in the oven for a couple more months. [Jan 2012, p.114]

    Pokepark is largely unchanged since the last time we visited. there are a few new attractions, but the same camera and control annoyances. That said, it's still a very hard game to hate. [Jan 2012, p.107]

    As shocking as dunking your Wii into the bathtub... Let this one sink without a trace. [Jan 2012, p.106]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 68 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    Despite plenty of colour and 'cheeky' dialogue it's as uplifting as a Wilfred Owen poem. It also lacks the personal touch that a physical board game provides. [Jan 2012, p.104]
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A tasty blend of traditional Resi spooks and modern action pacing that, despite a few action hiccups, remains one of the most satisfying uses of 3DS to date. The third-party game to beat. [Jan 2012, p.98]
    • 77 Metascore

    Kirby's first outing puts the Wii game to shame - pity it's so crushed onscreen. [Christmas 2011, p.81]

    A novel creation tool, which should give rise to any number of inspired (read: terrifying) creations. [Christmas 2011, p.80]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It takes some investment to program a masterpiece, but listening to something that sort-of sounds like the theme to Mega Man 2 is suitably rewarding. [Christmas 2011, p.79]

    It's fast and competent, but rounds last too long, descending into tedium. [Christmas 2011, p.79]

    How about instead going into your back garden and flicking cheese footballs at a ladybird. Much more fun. [Christmas 2011, p.79]

    These 'innovations' result in a game that's staggeringly boring. [Christmas 2011, p.77]

    Trade in your mum's copy of this as soon as she inevitably buys it. [Christmas 2011, p.77]

    It's a massive rip-off of Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training. [Christmas 2011, p.77]

    • 60 Critic Score
    It's hobbled by a poor frame rate and spectacularly horrible visuals. [Christmas 2011, p.76]

    • 35 Critic Score
    A poorly conceived, confusing rhythm game. [Christmas 2011, p.76]

    • 51 Critic Score
    The directional prompts are too vague, and the movement recognition seems even more slapdash than Just Dance's. [Christmas 2011, p.76]

    • 71 Critic Score
    The races are all linked by a surprisingly solid narrative. [Christmas 2011, p.76]

    • 45 Critic Score
    The makings of a great sim let down by terrible AI and scrappy graphics. [Christmas 2011, p.75]

    • 72 Critic Score
    A robust, well-crafted 3D air combat game. [Christmas 2011, p.74]
