    To keep things authentic, it doesn't push out any truly original ideas. [Issue#223, p.74]

    Although a little repetitive, Outrun 2006 has a lot to offer to those content with bettering themselves and sucking up the beauty. [Apr 2006, p.74]

    It's the best, most complete version of MVC 3 to date. It's also something that could, and should, have been achieved via DLC alone. [Issue#212, p.95]

    If you don't [own Buzz on PS3] then this is a good, family-friendly game and a reasonable way to spend an beery evening. [Issue#185, p.83]

    With seven Metal Slug games on one disc and all for under 30 quid this anothology is definitely worth picking up. [Issue#154, p.90]

    Eternal Sonata really is amazing to look at and incredible fun to play. The characters endear themselves to you and the story isn’t as clichéd as most JRPGs. The only downside is that it’s a little bit shorter than other roleplaying games.

    If you can get around the awkwardness of using the nub this score will seem a little harsh, if not it's more than fair. [Apr 2006, p.90]

    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]

    Wonderfully realised, atmospheric environments and uninspired, slightly dull shooting combine to create a game just above average. [Issue#231, p.62]

    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]

    Great fun in small doses, but the missions soon become a bit of a grind and as such your enjoyment is restricted to short bursts. [Issue#211, p.99]

    The wireless buzzers are great, the price is unbeatable and it’ll always have new content. Buzz! is a brilliant, funny family game that doesn’t rip you off with costly peripherals. Great stuff.

    An excellent Lego crossover game, and it's a solid toys-to-life-tie-in. The price is pretty steep, but Dimensions gives you plenty of reasons to invest. [Issue#263, p.68]
