Simply put, the audience for which it was intended will enjoy it. [Issue#194, p.96]

Competent and compelling. [Issue#195, p.94]

A deep, strategic and challenging game of tennis. [Issue#195, p.97]

It's just a rudimentary Grand Theft Auto in bear suits. [Issue#195, p.98]

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

Only the lack of new maps and the fact you can only play on four existing ones lets it down. [Issue#196, p.97]

Not fundamentally bad, just exactly the flippin' same every flippin' time. [Issue#189, p.78]

Compared to its peers, Toy Story 3 is gameplay dynamite. [Issue#195, p.96]

If you've ever had an interest in the genre then this pack is unmissable. [Issue#196, p.97]

A masterclass in how to make a game truly suited to the PSP. [Issue#193, p.82]

A better treatment than Aerosmith or AC/DC but still way short of the tributes paid to Metallica and The Beatles. [Issue#194, p.92]

This entry is just not worth bothering with. [Issue#194, p.93]

Full of charm and packed with variety, this is easily one of the best PSN games you can currently buy. [Issue#194, p.102]

Backbreaker fails to offer anything truly special to sports fans and feels like a fun-to-play tech demo. [Issue#193, p.97]

It's the innovations and advancements that most impress here. [Issue#193, p.84]

Competently put together and actually pretty well presented. [Issue#194, p.95]

It's just a shame that it suffers from a general lack of polish and some really questionable controls. [Issue#196, p.97]

There's a real sense of calculated attack and defence throughout each race. [Issue#193, p.88]

If you didn't pick up the last one or are a big UFC fan then it's still absolutely worth your time and money. [Issue#193, p.86]

Some of the best edge-of-your-seat multiplayer gaming we've had in ages. [Issue#192, p.78]

It's certainly good fun while it lasts. [Issue#195, p.103]

We'll stick with the PS3 version for the time being. [Issue#193, p.98]

It's enough to make you want to start chewing t'baccy and eating jerky, if you don't already. [Issue#193, p.90]

Made us punch the air and shout "YES!" on more than one occasion, and we're not embarrassed to admit it. [Issue#192, p.76]

Hints at something special, only to lose itself in mediocrity. [Issue#193, p.79]

Good fun. [Issue#194, p.102]

Even better thanks to far cleverer puzzles. [Issue#194, p.102]

Utterly bland. [Issue#194, p.97]

Simply the best in the series and as such the best skateboarding game on PS3...Its sense of fun and superb control mechanics are still without equal. [Issue#192, p.82]

On the one hand it brings nothing new to the table and has some irritating faults. On the other, it's a joyful experience and will warm the cockles of anyone who plays. [Issue#192, p.88]

Better than the original, but it has many failings of its own. In single-player it can become a slog to battle through, with questionable AI and design choices. [Issue#192, p.73]

It's not entirely broken, it is entirely pointless. [Issue#193, p.95]

Infinity Ward's talent still shines through, but three new maps, one of which isn't great. [Issue#192, p.94]

Annoying lag. [Issue#193, p.103]

Devilishly addictive and challenging. [Issue#192, p.89]

If only it wasn't so highly priced. [Issue#194, p.103]

The clever level editor still makes this essential. [Issue#194, p.102]

Even better thanks to far cleverer puzzles. [Issue#194, p.102]

Fun and funny, but lowbrow and unambitious on a creative and technical level. [Issue#192, p.84]

Nier spends hours being impressively boring as you plod through the drab overworld, but the smart progression saves its blushes. [Issue#192, p.86]

The fact that you're buying a lot of stuff you've probably bought already is the only drawback to what is the best version of the game of its type ever made. [Issue#191, p.69]

Excellent gameplay and presentation can't make up for the fact that the package isn't substantial enough to justify the asking price. [Issue#192, p.80]

A decent effort, but once again it is belittled by the shadow of its console counterpart. [Issue#193, p.98]

It's simple, throwaway fun. [Issue#188, p.87]

Ignore the linearity of the level design and embrace the PSN's most adrenaline-fuelled game since WipEout HD. [Issue#193, p.102]

A solid package at a great price. [Issue#191, p.93]

Should serve as a decent diversion until Puzzle Quest's true sequel turns up. [Issue#194, p.103]

If you're looking for a classic point-and-click adventure this won't disappoint. [Issue#195, p.103]

The presentation is faultless. [Issue#193, p.102]

Particularly clever. [Issue#194, p.102]

It's generally below the standard that any self-respecting fan should expect. [Issue#184, p.81]

A brilliant start. [Issue#192, p.97]

Just too basic to illicit any kind of reaction at all, besides boredom. [Issue#191, p.78]

At best forgettable; at worst downright creepy. [Issue#192, p.89]

It's all been done better before. [Issue#194, p.103]

Doesn't offer decent value for money compared to most other PSN games. [Issue#192, p.97]

Feels extremely refreshing compared to most other online shooters on Sony's service. [Issue#193, p.103]

It's a little pricey, but fans of Monkey Ball will be more than happy with this digital substitute. [Issue#194, p.103]

Delivers on the ambitious intentions of the original with added interest, only slightly letting itself down with some control issues that could and should have been fixed. Still the closest you're going to get to a truly playable action movie for now, though. [Issue#190, p.68]

A well-put together, if not very polished effort. [Issue#190, p.71]

Horrific controls. [Issue#186, p.87]

Suitably epic and still fun to play, Kratos's last outing isn't necessarily his finest. Hindered by some tired mechanics it's not as much of a step forward as we wanted. [Issue#190, p.61]

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

Hard as nails, but still incredibly satisfying. [Issue#192, p.97]

It's not very engaging. [Issue#191, p.82]

A near-perfect port. [Issue#194, p.99]

For our part, despite its flaws, we think it gets the job done. [Issue#190, p.64]

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

Alone it's alright, online it's bordering on genius. Bad Company 2 is quite possibly the best online shooter on PS3 today. [Issue#190, p.66]

It's as close to the PS3 version as you could hope to get, but that's not necessarily a good thing. [Issue#191, p.81]

Easily the best piece of DLC we've seen this year. [Issue#191, p.92]

A solid strategy game, both online and off. [Issue#191, p.93]

A truly mind-mangling challenge. [Issue#191, p.82]

A game that will split opinion, but to our minds it is one of the most immersive, mature and refreshing games in years. If you've been waiting for something new from your PS3, then this is essential. [Issue#189, p.64]

It's got Sonic in its name and it's good. Been a long while. [Issue#190, p.72]

The battle system is interesting, but everything else about LR is sub-par. [Issue#191, p.79]

The strength of Bonfire of the Vanities is that all the assassinations are highly challenging. [Issue#191, p.93]

It's humourless, but functional and quite fun. [Issue#190, p.76]

The variety, fan service and attention to detail here make AVP a must-have for fans of the franchises, but thanks to a variety of inconsistencies and flaws, it fails to measure up to the 1999 PC title of the same name. [Issue#189, p.59]

An annoying, ill-fitting mess that only a masochist could enjoy. [Issue#189, p.76]

A very good game indeed, well worth the cash, but it doesn't quite reach the masterwork status of the first game. [Issue#189, p.68]

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

Uninspired, boring design with some mildly interesting - but ultimately broken - combat scenarios. [Issue#190, p.75]

A boring waste. [Issue#190, p.74]

Great fun. [Issue#190, p.91]

A fast and furious twin-stick baster that works surprisingly well on the PSP. [Issue#188, p.87]

A disappointing addition to an enjoyable game. [Issue#190, p.91]

Exactly the same as every other puzzle game ever made. [Issue#190, p.79]

It's not the prettiest game on PSN but it's certainly one of the best strategy titles currently available. [Issue#192, p.97]

Airtight's debut is an interesting one. [Issue#188, p.78]

Boring. [Issue#190, p.80]

A charmless third-person shooter with more gimmicks than sense. [Issue#188, p.72]

Surprisingly polished and genuinely challenging. [Issue#189, p.77]

Despite being a solid and entertaining puzzle game, Aqua Panic! is let down somewhat by fiddly controls and some frustratingly tough levels. [Issue#193, p.103]

Definitely a step in the right direction for the series. [Issue#189, p.91]

Do not let Darksiders become another Conan, it deserves a better fate. [Issue#188, p.76]

The most over-the-top, unremittingly silly, astoundingly inventive, consistently thrilling, overtly sexual, guility enjoyable Japanese action game we've played in years. [Issue#187, p.70]

It’s a more than passable title, but far too similar to (and not as good as) Street Fighter. The story mode is a joke, and the array of options serve little purpose but to decorate the main menu.
