    There's loads wrong with Dead Island. It's as riddled with holes as the festering flesh of its primary antagonists. Every element of the game you can conceive of is infected with issues that would ordinarily be terminal. By all rights it should fall flat like a faceplanting undead shuffler. But just like those persistent, putrefied corpses, Dead Island keeps trundling on, somehow remaining shambolically entertaining throughout.

    The best poker on the Xbox 360. [Feb 2008, p.99]

    Not great for beginners, but fine for flight fans. [Apr 2012, p.100]

    A considered fighter that’s wrapped up in a stylish, if slight, package. [Issue#180, p.75]

    This is definitely the wall-crawler's best game in years.

    This game is at definitely its larger-than-life best with two players, but doesn't have the longevity to make it an essential purchase.

    The Last Remnant is a game the purists can sink their teeth into, and one we hope isn't the 'Last' of its kind.
    • 66 Metascore

    As it is, there's a fundamentally exciting and feature-heavy driving game here, but one burdened just enough by small niggles to bring us down. [Issue#65, p.92]

    So Undercover is a bit off-balance. Its bright spots, like the anticipation it builds for unlocking all the ridiculously fun race types, are dragged down by the slow-paced progression. A good time can be had, but only if you're patient or a really big fan of Most Wanted.

    Nothing really new. [Aug 2008, p.92]

    Great in places, horribly sparse in others.

    If you demand polish, this-gen graphics, and spoonfed plots - well, maybe you need to move briskly along. [Issue#65, p.90]

    There's a great game in Revengeance, buried under the rubble of a previous franchise collapse. With a little less zatsu and a little more dan, Platinum Games could be on to something.

    Absolutely standard seasonal update. [Apr 2011, p.95]

    While the core game is arguably as fun as FIFA's it just lacks the depth to sustain the challenge. The gap has closed. Can PES regroup and build again to really challenge for the top honours next year?

    The end fight where you have to plug every single enemy and boss before facing the unfairly tough villain is the stuff of legends...Co-op play is essential if you want to finish the game. [Feb 2007, p.100]

    As long as you're not expecting to have your plus-fours blown off, you'll find this to be a diverting downloadable game. [Issue#67, p.101]

    Evolve is a a Kraken [sorry] game when it all comes together. But most matches won't have the perfect setup - and it's not always worth sitting through them to get to the good ones. [Apr 2015, p.73]

    Looks generic, but plays fresh. [Apr 2011, p.109]

    The content additions are minor and the visual upgrades are difficult to spot. [Apr 2015, p.78]

    As close as you'll get to getting your childhood back. Dig through the incredible production values and you'll find a serviceable shooter, but one with a potentially terminal lack of content. [Jan 2016, p.73]

    A sprawling ramshackle mishmash of a game that somehow works. [Issue#177, p.82]

    One complaint - why make the unlocking process so drawn out? [Apr 2011, p.111]

    Popcorn-crunching blockbuster in need of better scripting.

    Superstars V8 Racing is a decent and, at times, surprisingly pretty racer, and while it's never going to blow GRID's graphics or Race Pro's handling out of the water, it does conjure up happy memories of classic Codies TOCA games. Here's hoping by next year, Milestone has mastered the art of a more immersive career mode.

    Essential for anyone with more than a passing interest in games as a whole. [Sept 2014, p.87]

    The very definition of cheap and cheerful, Sixty Second Shooter Prime matches simplicity with speed to make a shooter you don't mind either losing or switching off after one round. [Sept 2014, p.89]

    Dull combat and a slow pace hold it back, but smart puzzle design, great characters and a charming realisation of the show's world make this a great pick for fans. [Jan 2016, p.78]

    We're actually more fond of how The UnderGarden looks and sounds than how it plays.
