A refreshing rarity. [Issue#237, p.76]

It may not look like one, but Type-0 is a great PS4 game. [Issue#255, p.64]

Tokyo Jungle is rough around the edges and mad as a box of spaniels with hammers glued to them, but you know what? It's actually good. We did not expect that – we expected throwaway silliness, not a game we actually want to play between sessions on all the other games that are out or coming out oh god there's too many games to play.

At times defending can be a frustrating affair owing mainly to some inept AI defending. [Issue #147, p.89]

Whether you still harbour fond memories of the franchise or never played it back in the day, Zone Of The Enders is definitely worth another look and the HD remaster team have done a sterling job. Oh, and did we mention the Revengeance demo? You'll want that too.

inFamous is a weird game – it’s entertaining and well developed, but lacks polish. Even though it’s really enjoyable, for the most part, it’s great but feels rough around the edges.

It's not classic and fighter purists will find things to moan about, but that doesn't stop it from being a hell of a lot of fun. [Issue#205, p.82]

A collection of ideas - some tried and tested, some yet to be proven - all hanging together beautifully. [Issue#184, p.69]

Evades repetition with considerable grace. [Issue#172, p.93]

It's great, again, and the additions bring a wave of fresh air to the experience. [Issue#205, p.89]

Even a couple of odd design decisions don't get in the way of the high-octane thrills here, thankfully. [Issue#253, p.70]

It's cheap and incredibly cheerful, even if it does make you swear at your mates a lot. [Issue#155, p.82]

Good fun. [Issue#186, p.79]

Yes, it’s pretty short. Yes, it’s pretty linear. But the varied action is great, the visuals peerless and production values off the charts. In terms of a pure showcase for what PS4 can really do, look no further.

A puzzle game that we actually like, and that's rare. [Issue#154, p.86]

The impressive voice controls is marred by a small number of annoying design decisions. The online modes are memorable, but the limited control over points of view leave a sour taste.

Tells a good story and is a fun game. [Issue#191, p.74]

I enhances the template in all the right ways. [Issue#251, p.66]

A fun if slightly shallow fighting game for most, JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure fans will absolutely adore All Star Battle. For that select few, this is a must have.

It won't go down in history as a game that pushed the FPS into new territory. [Issue#202, p.76]

A slight but superior multiplayer experience. What it lacks in single-player content, Rainbow Six Siege makes up in sheer quality. Just remember to use voice chat. [Issue#265, p.76]

As good a reason to subscribe as we've seen in an MMORPG. [Issue#202, p.84]

Unabashedly hardcore, Superbeat demands patience, commitment and fast fingers. If you have at least most of those qualities, give it a go - you might find a new obsession on Vita. [Issue#265, p.80]

One of the PSP's most original titles. [Issue#203, p.88]

While NHL 2K7 isn't without its flaws, the game's accessibility is such that most people can glean some entertainment from it. [Issue 148, p.82]

This is the choice for those wanting a relaxing, satisfying time, while Blazblue should be the choice for those looking to learn and hone their craft.

Actually plays slightly better than the new PS2 version - perhaps it's because you don't have to press buttons repeatedly quite as much and this helps save your wrists from pain and prevents you from snapping your PSP in half. [Issue #147, p.88]

While they don't bring anything new to the table, they're all brilliant, intricately designed maps. [Issue#203, p.98]

Niggles aside, this is one of Vita's best games, a great game of football and a horrendous time-waster. Good enough for us.

An amusing game to play for short stretches of time. [Issue#174, p.92]

A very enjoyable take on the classic board game, which is only let down by occasionally laggy online games and an overall lack of objectives to complete. [Issue#202, p.97]

It's rough around the edges and sometimes insultingly simple, true. But Sleeping Dogs is also a game where you have to rescue a cake and can do so in your pants. An imperfect, but more often than not fun, sandbox romp. Yes, romp.

Not exactly the tight arcade racer some might have been expecting. [Issue#269, p.72]

A technical marvel, and a loyal homage to its predecessors. Insomniac has made a triumphant return to the franchise that made it famous. Play it for entertainment, not challenge. [Issue#269, p.74]

The action sequences are some of the best on PS4 and William Blazkowicz is still a badass. [Issue#258, p.68]

It will wrap itself around any adventure game fan and refuse to let them go, regardless of whether they have any nostalgia for the original or not. [Issue#269, p.78]

An emotionally impactful tale that's enhanced by the game's commitment to its thematic core of memory, but one that can get frustrating due to its rather tricky puzzles. [Issue#258, p.71]

Refreshing and addictive. [Issue#158, p.90]

This is, without a doubt, the best Dynasty Warriors game to date. [Issue#243, p.58]

Bungie seems to be slowly turning Destiny into the game it always had the potential to be. [Issue#258, p.74]

It's packing originality. [Issue#203, p.99]

Certainly one of the best multiplayer experiences on the PSP. [Issue#157, p.94]

A wonderful treat for comic book fans and a pretty decent fighting game to boot. [Issue#231, p.70]

The vastly improved Toy Box allows for some incredible player creations. [Issue#249, p.66]

Worth your money if you have a friend or three to share in the experience, but less so as a solo experience. [Issue#185, p.72]

It's an easy recommendation for both lifelong Disney fans and Square diehards alike. [Issue#236, p.80]

It's challenging, brutal and rewarding, so self-professed hardcore gamers should be all over this noise. [Issue#231, p.84]

Honestly, who doesn't love jetpacks? [Issue#171, p.93]

A smart, contained, neatly-written sci-fi story filled with excellent sequences and set-ups. The scares are light, but Soma is one of the best horror games in years. [Issue#262, p.70]

A solidly-built, good-looking and immensely fun American football experience. Madden is only let down by a few engine gripes and the limitations of the sport it emulates. [Issue#262, p.72]

Refreshing, but probably should have been better. [Issue#163, p.78]

Falls just short of brilliance, and that's its greatest sin. [Issue#189, p.72]

You don't even have to be a Naruto fan to feel the love, but it sure helps. [Issue#267, p.72]

Benefits from breathless pacing and an impressive wealth of stuff going on. [Issue#194, p.90]

Just don't expect an easy ride and, remember, these games are over a decade old now, and it really does show. [Issue #147, p.91]

Pretty much the perfect way to get ready to rise up in the upcoming Street Fighter V. [Issue#259, p.72]

These five new gardens will last an Eden fan well over ten hours. [Issue#180, p.87]

An old game that's still beautiful underneath, despite its aging skin. [Issue#259, p.74]

DLC that's nearly on a par with the original Dragon Age experience. [Issue#192, p.96]

Pure is an addictive, accessible blend of MotorStorm and SSX. It is well made, looks good and is excellently structured for beginners. However, some slightly less outdated animation wouldn’t have hurt.

It won't take long to get the most out of Cocoreccho!, but the 1.99 pound price tag is insignificant, making this LocoRoco experience worthwhile. Still, it isn't lengthy enough to be a game, and after a week it'll lie forgotten on your hard drive. [Issue#159, p.97]

It's SingStar but with just enough tweaks and additions to make it feel part of a different generation. It might be tainted with slight cynicism, but there is no getting away from the fact that this is still an incredibly good party game. [Issue#159, p.86]

The nimble combat system keeps it exciting. [Issue#234, p.82]

Micro Machines V4 is bloody brilliant. That's all you really need to know. [Issue 142, p.102]

A brilliant beat-'em-up marred by its lack of modes, especially in the multiplayer department. It's also showing its age at a worrying time, with Virtua Fighter 5 on the horizon certain to claim the title. Good but no longer essential. [Issue#150, p.68]

In many respects, Shadow of Mordor is a rip-off of other titles, but its one original idea - the Nemesis system - ensures that doesn't matter. Manipulation and subterfuge are always fun. [Issue#250, p.66]

The best in the series so far, but with no real gameplay improvements. The action may feel far too familiar to owners of Virtua Tennis 3 – if you’re one of them, only check this out if you can’t live without PSN.

A fitting tribute to the PS2 classic, albeit on that will struggle to hold the attention of those without solid rhythm action skills or fond memories of the original. [Issue#266, p.64]

A superb port of one of the best games in the series. [Issue#260, p.64]

The AI is utter junk, the modes are basic and limited and solo offline play is basically worthless. But as far as multiplayer experiences go, Rocket League is wonderful. [Issue#260, p.66]

Yes it's expensive, but it's also a beautifully presented shooter with deep gameplay mechanics, satisfying boss encounters and excellent level design. [Issue#266, p.70]

Cruel and unforgiving yet wonderfully satisfying when it comes together, Nuclear Throne is an accomplished roguelike capable of challenging even the most skilled players. [Issue#266, p.72]

One of the best racers on PS4. [Issue#260, p.68]

A confident and intriguing story game with a[n] interesting paranormal puzzle mechanic that actually trusts you to work things out for yourself rather than hold your hand. [Issue#260, p.74]

It's fun flying about and pressing the missile button when the target gets red. It's just it's not so fun when missions take up to half an hour on the later stages; it really does get a bit repetitive after a while. [Issue 144, p.76]

It has some minor technical problems, but the care that Bluepoint has put into The Nathan Drake Collection makes it clear that this is far more than a rudimentary cash-in. [Issue#263, p.60]

Great music, lovable characters, colour and, most importantly, fun. [Issue#212, p.98]

Personally, we love Team17's game, but the concept is starting to grate a little now. [Issue#201, p.99]

One of the best fighting games ever, hampered by one of the worst fighting-game controllers ever. [Issue 141, p.91]

An excellent game that manages to make up for its lack of content with great mechanics and superb presentation, Devastation is Platinum doing what Platinum does best. [Issue#263, p.62]

Decent solo stuff, but it's the multiplayer that steals the show. [Issue#245, p.53]

Riddled with shameless fan service, supported by actually decent production values. The biggest (read: best) change the Warriors formula has seen in years. [Issue#263, p.66]

A fine achievement. [Issue#204, p.88]

A joy to play. [Issue#200, p.102]

A superb snowboarding game, but if you've already given it a thorough going-over on the PS2 it probably isn't worth sparing it a second thought. [Apr 2006, p.116]

A little different to what we were expecting, Until Dawn is still a great experience for horror enthusiasts, and something we really hope Supermassive builds on in the future. [Issue#261, p.66]

An excellent little racer. [Issue#200, p.103]

Two great games and one that you should probably ignore. [Issue#217, p.74]

An amusing adventure with a high-quality production value that feels like it's being loyal to the genre, even as it adds some welcome modernising flourishes. [Issue#261, p.70]

Some will be put off by the lack of action and wonky pacing, but those who stick around will experience one of the best videogame stories of recent years. [Issue#261, p.72]

It still isn't perfect as we'd like, but UFC 2 is a model sequel. It's prettier, more accessible and with more content and superior modes. Its a solid entry. TKO. [Issue#269, p.80]

A great-looking game with a hell of a lot of content hidden inside it, but the steep difficulty curve and lack of real progression may not sit too well with more casual players. [Issue#269, p.82]

It might not light the world on fire, but Mini Ninjas is a good, solid game. [Issue#74, p.74]

While the core gameplay is still excellent, stunt runs, upgradeable vehicles and connectivity with cash-hungry iOS release Trials Frontier all nudge Fusion further away from that classic, pure game of mastery where only player skill matters.

If you're into games like "Devil May Cry" or "God Hand" where no punch is pulled, Prinny is totally worth a look, dood. [Issue#181, p.81]

Not the vastly different experience we might have expected, but no less welcome as a result. FFIII-2 comes recommended for those who didn't get enough from the last game - however, those who were unconvinced are going to remain just that. [Issue#214, p.74]

A robust and rewarding Souls-like. We'd rather it deviated from its source material a little more but there's no denying what's in front of you is worth the price of admission. [Issue#269, p.84]

A little light on characters and modes perhaps but all the same, Battle Royale is great fun. [Issue#225, p.54]
