    It's worth buying if you're sick of getting shot by premium players' overpowered new weapons on regular servers and want to equip the new arsenal yourself, but Battlefield 3's hectic fighting fails at CoD's smaller scale. [Oct 2012, p.71]

    The best adaptation of the Magic: The Gathering card game yet, but with too many frustrating elements still intact. [Oct 2012, p.70]

    SP2: Faith in Destiny is a mess. [Oct 2012, p.69]

    You'll be impressed by how much depth and fun it packs into its 10 hours. [Oct 2012, p.69]

    A massive overworld combined with a playful lick of humor doesn't mask Krater's wasted promise and grindy design. [Oct 2012, p.66]

    Occasionally clunky, and sporting an unremarkable combat core, but offers an irresistible slice of stealthy co-op coordination. [Oct 2012, p.62]

    • 69 Critic Score
    The weak combat and MMO padding hurt the experience, but The Secret World has innovation, atmosphere and charm.

    A few technical and dialogue hiccups annoy, but overall TWD continues to be one of the best stories in gaming.

    I'm itching to play again once I finish this. If you have someone to team up with, get it without hesitation. If you don't, hesitate slightly, then notice it's only £12 and get it anyway.

    It's a diverting racer that will keep you occupied longer than you might expect, but remains eminently disposable. [Sept 2012, p.77]

    Orion: Dino Beatdown is an entirely broken FPS. [Sept 2012, p.77]

    A grab bag of game systems to bring new life to Civ V. Definitely worthwhile, and almost certainly holier than thou. [Sept 2012, p.76]

    A slow-burning but compelling universe in which to indulge your trading, mining and mercenary fantasies. [Sept 2012, p.74]

    The biggest problem is that despite the increased focus on action, combat remains unchanged--a couple of new monsters, but few new tricks. [Sept 2012, p.71]

    Sit through seemingly countless deaths, and you'll either break through the system, and master the stats--or bounce off the game and never go back. [Sept 2012, p.71]

    A Weskered development gives us the Wong game. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is evil in the wrong sense. [Sept 2012, p.70]
    • 54 Metascore
    • 41 Critic Score
    Unintuitive, uninvolving and overpriced. Not even its satisfying trading system can put the wind in Port Royale 3's sails. [Sept 2012, p.66]

    You'll watch as much as you play, but Max's story of non-redemption is as fun as his theatrical slow motion headshots. [Sept 2012, p.62]

    Right now Moon Breakers suffers: its ships handle like HGVs and it's a multiplayer game that doesn't actually require you to work with other players at all. [Sept 2012, p.61]

    Play never feels fluid, a problem compounded by the horrible, poorly ported PC controls. [Sept 2012, p.61]

    Dirt Showdown provides thrills while it lasts, but afterwards you're left wanting the deeper experience of its parents. [Sept 2012, p.60]

    Far from the RPG that Game of Thrones deserves, but still better than its components have the right to be. [Sept 2012, p.58]
    • 55 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    A gritty Eastern Front soldier sim rushed to the front far too soon. Wait for patches if you're squeamish.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Has fantastic parts, but isn't the sum of them. Wait for the inevitable remix version, which may fix some of the problems. [Aug 2012, p.55]

    The robots blow up good, otherwise this ho-hum shooter fumbles its few ideas and is a shonky port to boot. [Aug 2012, p.58]

    The shooting is precise, but the overwrought customization system sacrifices depth for brute-force completely. [Aug 2012, p.62]

    It isn't a challenge or an epic, but for an arty game that's worthy of a seat next to Limbo, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet knows how to give you a good time without taking very much of it. [Aug 2012, p.69]

    A hideous collage of unconsidered platforming and vapid combat in a procedural world bleached of meaning. [Aug 2012, p.70]

    Ultimately, there is fun to be had, but once the first burst of joy is done, you'll likely find it a little repetitive and unrewarding. [Aug 2012, p.77]

    Sworcery is worth a look for the presentation and music, but despite the upgrade to HD the mobile version is still the one to go for. [Aug 2012, p.77]
