    Bungie seems to be slowly turning Destiny into the game it always had the potential to be. [Issue#258, p.74]

    Worth your money if you have a friend or three to share in the experience, but less so as a solo experience. [Issue#185, p.72]

    A smart, contained, neatly-written sci-fi story filled with excellent sequences and set-ups. The scares are light, but Soma is one of the best horror games in years. [Issue#262, p.70]

    A solidly-built, good-looking and immensely fun American football experience. Madden is only let down by a few engine gripes and the limitations of the sport it emulates. [Issue#262, p.72]

    Pure is an addictive, accessible blend of MotorStorm and SSX. It is well made, looks good and is excellently structured for beginners. However, some slightly less outdated animation wouldn’t have hurt.

    It won't take long to get the most out of Cocoreccho!, but the 1.99 pound price tag is insignificant, making this LocoRoco experience worthwhile. Still, it isn't lengthy enough to be a game, and after a week it'll lie forgotten on your hard drive. [Issue#159, p.97]

    It's SingStar but with just enough tweaks and additions to make it feel part of a different generation. It might be tainted with slight cynicism, but there is no getting away from the fact that this is still an incredibly good party game. [Issue#159, p.86]

    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]

    In many respects, Shadow of Mordor is a rip-off of other titles, but its one original idea - the Nemesis system - ensures that doesn't matter. Manipulation and subterfuge are always fun. [Issue#250, p.66]

    The best in the series so far, but with no real gameplay improvements. The action may feel far too familiar to owners of Virtua Tennis 3 – if you’re one of them, only check this out if you can’t live without PSN.

    A fitting tribute to the PS2 classic, albeit on that will struggle to hold the attention of those without solid rhythm action skills or fond memories of the original. [Issue#266, p.64]
