    The formula here has already been pillaged, but it's not as suicidal as the PS3 version. [Issue#160, p.98]

    That’s a large part of the appeal of FIFA – the fact that there are so many different ways to enjoy the game of football at its core, all of which are compelling in their own way. We’ll have to wait and see if FIFA 15 is the best football game released this year, but it sure as hell sets a high bar.

    Anyone disappointed that GTA IV left behind most of the silliness and anarchy of its PS2 past will love Saints Row 2, but don’t expect anything especially polished. It’s rather too similar to its prequel.

    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]

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

    Resistance: Retribution comes off feeling like it’s stuck between the PS3 and PSP, not knowing which way to go. Get past its faults and there is some solid shooting to be had, but we can’t help but wonder what it could have been.

    Finely honed, beautifully crafted and offering a mountainous challenge, World Tour reels you in with stat boosts and loyalty rewards and never lets you go. Satisfaction is definitely guaranteed. [Issue#165, p.91]

    A reduced price point for two of the best games from their respective platforms is a no-brainer. Square has done a fantastic job bringing these games up to modern standards. [Issue#252, p.72]

    While not without foibles, Garden Warfare 2 stands out in an overcrowded genre and delivers a polished, deep and substantial dose of shooter action. [Issue#268, p.72]

    The best puzzle game on PSP by far, but owners of the original might be more disappointed that it doesn't take more abmitious steps to stretch its formula further and see what happens. [Issue #147, p.76]

    While numerous changes and enhancements have been made to Tearaway Unfolded, it never flows quite as well as the Vita original. It's still fun, mind. [Issue#262, p.68]

    It's a no-brainer for fans of the series, but noobs will struggle even with the low-end missions for at least a few hours. Be patient because investing time in tutorials and online guides yields a very worthwhile game. [Issue#181, p.77]

    Still good but little different from last year's effort so it's only really worth picking up if you're a massive basketball fan or a newcomer to the series. [Issue#146, p.93]

    A beautiful game with plenty of good intentions, but a near-vertical learning curve and some baffling AI render it art more than enjoyment. [Issue#211, p.98]

    SuperChargers gambles by mixing up the Skylanders formula, but overall it pays off. Vehicles are a welcome addition to another solid (if prohibitively expensive) adventure. [Issue#263, p.72]
