    Foregoing arcade action for a more measured simulation, with FIFA 08 EA has given the gamer - you by all accounts - the most realistic football game yet. Not perfect, but very, very good. The tinkering has finally paid off. [Issue#159, p.76]

    Very different [from] "Tiger Woods," but this is far from a bad thing. A viable alternative to the franchise. [Issue 144, p.97]

    The worst ending to a videogame ever and a mediocre start aren't enough to ruin one of the better shooters to emerge in years. Barker's influence is something that elevates Jericho, despite its problems, above many other FPSs. A gory treat. [Issue#159, p.80]

    Linear it may be but as a cinematic action game, you can't fault it. [Issue#161, p.95]

    An absorbing, burtal experience (especially in multiplayer), featuring almost-tactile physics and visuals descending the uncanny valley. Some thought is needed though as to whether a realistic portrayal of boxing necessarily brings about its most spectacular possible videogame. [Issue#181, p.76]

    It's a beautiful game, and some levels are genius, but Murfy is irritating as hell and we wish he'd go away forever. [Issue#235, p.84]

    With a staggering amount of content packed in, Mortal Kombat Vita not only benefits from the balance patches from the PS3 iteration but makes for the best version when played on the go. [Issue#219, p.78]

    Another positive step forward for EA’s Madden and one which stands tall against the PS3’s other offerings, including 2007’s entry. No one does gridiron quite like the guys at Electronic Arts. Brilliant.

    GRAW 2 is full of overblown, brilliant moments with only a sporadic dose of boring levels. [Issue#157, p.82]

    This is a game of skill. It won’t get boring as long as you’ve got a worthy human opponent.

    Prince Of Persia creates a beautiful world, and offers a real sense of wonder, as well as fantastic exploration opportunities. Aside from combat and camera issues, this is fun and a return to form for the prince.

    Brilliant, exciting, fun and impressive - but also closely following an established formula and throwing in mostly pointless, gimmicky extras - Golden Abyss is a reason to own PSVita, but it also shows Uncharted will need to innovate in order to survive. [Issue#215, p.70]

    Entertaining gameplay with plenty of options to keep you busy, but the repetitive nature of it all keeps the score down. [Issue 144, p.81]

    Considerably better, more balanced and ultimately enjoyable than either the first title or the abysmal sister title from Nippon Ichi Software. [Issue 144, p.79]

    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]

    Despite the obvious quality of the piece, it's something many of us simply can't get the most out of, and without a good deal of effort, it's something of a chore. It's time for the dreaded, "one for the fans." [Issue #150, p.60]
