If you're too hardcore for arcade but too casual for simulation, DiRT 3's masterful balancing of both styles makes it the game for you. [Issue#206, p.84]

Doesn't have the pomp and ceremony of a triple-A blockbuster RPG, but it does have charm, solid gameplay and a really fun co-op experience. If you love loot then you want to be part of this. [Issue#206, p.78]

It's a mature game, too – not just because it includes sex and violence under the pretence of being for adults – but because it delivers such dark and macabre content with the same level of intelligence we would expect from a major television series.

Just a shame it's hard work at the start. [Issue#205, p.95]

Still feels like a smaller game struggling to fill the space on larger hardware. [Issue#205, p.95]

If you're a fan of Russian dolls, you'll love this add-on for the excellent Stacking. [Issue#205, p.95]

A short but intense flash of arcade brilliance. [Issue#205, p.94]

Irritation, apathy, mild disinterest - just a few things we felt while playing Moon Diver. [Issue#205, p.94]

One of BioWare's weaker DLC efforts. [Issue#205, p.94]

Ubisoft could have put more effort in than this if it wanted to pay a real fitting tribute. [Issue#205, p.90]

This game screams 'avoid'. [Issue#205, p.90]

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

Still a fantastic multiplayer game. [Issue#205, p.88]

There is no music, no pithy one-liners, just the sombre sound of the wind. [Issue#205, p.86]

The campaign is short and pretty uneventful, with a completely ignorable story. [Issue#205, p.84]

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]

No fruity descriptions, no fancy words: just buy it. [Issue#205, p.80]

A solid challenge. [Issue#204, p.97]

Mediocrity. [Issue#204, p.97]

Excellent value. [Issue#204, p.97]

With four-player support, you could do a lot worse than Slam Bolt Scrappers. [Issue#204, p.97]

Feels as formulaic as ever. [Issue#204, p.97]

An oversimplified but enjoyable counterpart to the Back To The Future films. [Issue#204, p.96]

The controls could do with some work, but Swarm's still addictive fun and worth checking out. [Issue#204, p.96]

More of the same in a good way rather than a lazy more of the same. [Issue#204, p.96]

It's not going to win any awards for innovation, but it's a damn enjoyable experience that kids are going to love nevertheless. [Issue#204, p.91]

Dreary to look at, grating on the ears and no better than MotoGP 09/10. [Issue#204, p.91]

Really nothing more than a fun concept that isn't anything other than a reasonably impressive novelty. [Issue#204, p.90]

Two good games, one great game, 30 quid or less. [Issue#204, p.89]

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

Oddly, though, it's still a little better than Dynasty Warriors 6. But that's like saying diarrhoea for four days is better than diarrhoea for five days. [Issue#204, p.87]

To all but the most fragile newcomer the caddy's inclusion is the opposite of empowering. [Issue#204, p.86]

A perfectly ordinary mini-game collection that fails to excite in any way. [Issue#204, p.84]

Shift 2 has a bevy of neat ideas but none of them are executed to a degree that makes them worthwhile. [Issue#204, p.82]

The best wrestling game in years that falls slightly short simply due to a lack of content. [Issue#204, p.80]

Gets a hell of a lot of things right and is fun - especially if you're willing to experiment with your approach. But some poor design choices and a bizarre level of bugginess let the whole ting down. [Issue#204, p.78]

The HD sheen is just a bonus. [Issue#200, p.97]

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

A truly enchanting game. [Issue#203, p.99]

It's let down slightly by occasionally frustrating controls and monotonous boss encounters, but the inventive level design keeps you returning for more. [Issue#203, p.99]

Expensive but worth it for nostalgic thrills. [Issue#203, p.98]

The general lack of polish for such a high price tag is unforgivable. [Issue#203, p.98]

Bold and inventive. [Issue#203, p.98]

A missed opportunity, with Dead Money focusing on mostly the worst aspects of New Vegas. [Issue#203, p.98]

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

A game for kids, and not for an older generation weaned on more comprehensive gaming experiences. [Issue#203, p.94]

Feels like a glance into the mind of a perverted otaku, and little more. [Issue#203, p.94]

Veering from utterly absorbing to utterly nonsense, it revels in its existence as a unique gaming experience. [Issue#203, p.92]

Uncompromising, impenetrable and intimidating at the outset, perseverance will reveal a rich experience for long-standing fans. [Issue#203, p.91]

The most vapid, materialistic and all-around terrible representations of humanity we have ever seen. [Issue#203, p.90]

While it's perfect for kids and parents, mature platform fans will be left wanting. [Issue#203, p.89]

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

Action is tactically deep, yet ultimately staccato. [Issue#203, p.87]

A bit of a technical mess. [Issue#203, p.86]

Apocalypse's racing feels like it's received less attention than creating spectacle, but the focus on track deformation is exhilarating and fun nevertheless. [Issue#203, p.84]

An entertaining, if not a little under-polished, FPS that dares to strike out in new directions. [Issue#203, p.82]

Improving vastly upon Fight Night Round 3's compartmentalised battles while retaining its sequel's silky-smooth animation, Champion is a triumph. [Issue#203, p.80]

An inventive FPS with a sense of humour. [Issue#203, p.76]

An improvement over the original, but still suffering technical issues and is decidedly old-fashioned in many regards. [Issue#203, p.72]

Only a complete lack of online play and poor AI let it down. [Issue#202, p.97]

A nice idea, but we'd rather play the real deal. [Issue#202, p.97]

The shallow gameplay soon becomes monotonous. [Issue#202, p.97]

Stick with PixelJunk Shooter instead. [Issue#202, p.97]

The gameplay is as tight and fun as ever. [Issue#202, p.97]

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]

A fairly conventional shooter. [Issue#202, p.96]

A fairly conventional shooter. [Issue#202, p.96]

Well-designed levels and power-ups. [Issue#202, p.96]

It looks fairly simplistic, but the challenging pace will certainly have you returning for one more go. [Issue#202, p.96]

It's a fairly basic FPS that's far too fiddly for its own good. [Issue#202, p.96]

A truly astonishing port. [Issue#202, p.96]

Constantly inventive. [Issue#202, p.96]

While it lacks the depth of the physical game, this is an excellent introduction to Magic: The Gathering. [Issue#202, p.96]

Too repetitive and lacking in the kind of depth we look for in an action RPG. [Issue#202, p.92]

It's online dungeon crawling by the numbers and could get dull quite quickly. [Issue#202, p.92]

Generic game making at its worst. [Issue#202, p.91]

Think the worst Dynasty Warriors game ever, but with blood. [Issue#202, p.91]

There's zero inspiration in the gameplay and even less in the presentation. [Issue#202, p.90]

One of the most competent, solid, well-put-together J-RPGs you will ever play. [Issue#202, p.89]

Has the looks, the controls and the missions to keep you coming back. Good alone, better with friends and a real tough nut. [Issue#202, p.88]

An unremarkable, cliched action-adventure. [Issue#202, p.86]

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

It's fast, frantic, fun, furious and flipping well other things that begin with f. Even so, it's a shame that Capcom didn't push the boat out with extra modes, stages or characters. [Issue#202, p.80]

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

It's not only a fun game, but shows off the Move brilliantly. [Issue#201, p.99]

A nightmare to set up. [Issue#201, p.99]

An extremely well-rounded twin-stick shooter. [Issue#201, p.99]

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

Works equally well with or without Move support. [Issue#201, p.99]

Even the normal difficulty is so insanely hard it's likely to put many gamers off. [Issue#201, p.98]

It's often repetitive, it's customisation mechanic feels tacked on, and it takes a good few hours to come out of its shell, but nail'd eventually emerges as a fun racer. [Issue#201, p.95]

It makes you wish Harmonix would release the superb Dance Central on PS3. [Issue#201, p.94]

Engaging, deep, stunningly atmospheric, funny, witty, shiny and - get this - fun. [Issue#201, p.92]

Dead Space 2 is brilliant - no two ways about it. It's everything a sequel should be and it's a fine, poo-your-pants inclusion to anybody's library. [Issue#201, p.90]

An amazing game that will ultimately only be limited by the imaginations of the people who play it. [Issue#201, p.86]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

A relentless game that's only really let down by occasionally stodgy controls and its insane difficulty level. [Issue#200, p.103]

Disappointing. [Issue#200, p.103]
