A strong sense of having seen it all before and some forgettable touch screen integration doesn't stop Virtua Tennis 4 from being a fun fit for Vita. [Issue#215, p.76]

With over 400 items to be discovered or created in the game, Eternal Mana is a micro-manager's dream. [Apr 2006, p.103]

Support for clans, customisation – even a co-operative horde mode – shows Starhawk is only really intended to be played online, despite marketing gumph that states otherwise. Offline, it's forgettable. Online, it's great fun.

Addictive like crack-coated Pringles. [Issue#208, p.99]

Don't expect a Fifties GTA and you'll come out much happier. [Issue#196, p.84]

Frequent stealth sections stink up an otherwise outstanding sequel. Combat is so good, though, that if you can endure the sneaking, it’s still a bloody good action game.

It's let down a bit by the dodgy camera perspective, but this won't ruin your experience. [Issue#156, p.86]

It's a real step-up from last year's version of NBA Live, which felt stilted and robotic by comparison. [Issue#170, p.81]

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

Brutally tough...As stylish and robust an indie debut as we've seen in a long time. [Issue#234, p.84]

It's short - perhaps a little too short for the price - but Left Behind exhibits the same exceptional quality that made The Last of Us one of PS3's finest. [Issue#242, p.56]

The best South Park game to date (not that that's saying much) and manages to hold up both in terms of RPG mechanics and comedy value. [Issue#242, p.67]

It's good fun, testing both your problem solving and manual dexterity, and it makes good use of PS Vita's controls. [Issue#216, p.73]

As good a workout as the PS3 can offer. [Issue#200, p.96]

Disgaea 3 is probably the most hardcore and uncompromisingly complex tactical RPG you’re likely to play. If you’re familiar with the genre then it comes highly recommended – if not, then try Valkyria Chronicles first.

It'll infuriate as many as it pleases, but Vatra Games has succeeded in crafting a true horror experience. [Issue#217, p.68]

A solid and enjoyable game to waste a few hours on, though it lacks any real draw to keep you going for a long time. [Issue#216, p.84]

Gloomy, tricky and endlessly punishing. [Issue#240, p.64]

For under a fiver you get the game on both PS Vita and PS3, too, which is reason enough to buy it. [Issue#217, p.79]

Possibly the worst version of F.E.A.R. available. That doesn't make it a bad game, it just makes us a little jealous of our Xbox 360 and PC-playing pals. Whilst F.E.A.R. is still a great title, it just feels a little old and recycled for PS3. [Issue #151, p.82]

A refreshing rarity. [Issue#237, p.76]

It may not look like one, but Type-0 is a great PS4 game. [Issue#255, p.64]

Tokyo Jungle is rough around the edges and mad as a box of spaniels with hammers glued to them, but you know what? It's actually good. We did not expect that – we expected throwaway silliness, not a game we actually want to play between sessions on all the other games that are out or coming out oh god there's too many games to play.

At times defending can be a frustrating affair owing mainly to some inept AI defending. [Issue #147, p.89]

Whether you still harbour fond memories of the franchise or never played it back in the day, Zone Of The Enders is definitely worth another look and the HD remaster team have done a sterling job. Oh, and did we mention the Revengeance demo? You'll want that too.

inFamous is a weird game – it’s entertaining and well developed, but lacks polish. Even though it’s really enjoyable, for the most part, it’s great but feels rough around the edges.

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]

A collection of ideas - some tried and tested, some yet to be proven - all hanging together beautifully. [Issue#184, p.69]
