    More of the usual inFamous 2 pros alongside more of the unusual inFamous 2 cons. [Issue#212, p.102]

    Rhythm-action for those with sausage fingers but with a sharp mind. [Issue#223, p.85]

    Survival-horror fans will probably enjoy Blood Curse’s clumsy mechanics and clichéd setting, especially at this price, but we’re not prepared to excuse it. The flagship title of episodic gaming on the PSN ought to know better.

    PES diehards will defend the strangely robotic take on the beautiful game, but those wanting a flowing, realistic game should eye up the old adversary. [Issue#185, p.76]

    It's the same old trek through the claustrophobic levels, whacking enemies until they disappear. [Issue #151, p.74]

    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]

    High price aside, Zuma is nevertheless a great puzzler that has you stopping a line of multicolored marbles before they reach the exit found on each stage's path. [Issue#182, p.83]

    As a teaser for the next season, it's superb. [Issue#234, p.85]

    The combat system works and is intricate and balanced enough to provide for the tinkerers. But the rest is just so banal, so by the numbers that, honestly? We often found ourselves bored. [Issue#234, p.74]

    It's gorgeous, it truly is, but Unravel falls short of being the emotionally engaging game we were expecting. It's still fun, but feels much hollower than it clearly intended to be. [Issue#267, p.70]

    It's a little too strict in its adherence to previous entries, but Climax has done a stellar job. [Issue#160, p.88]

    Combines a tactical battle system, a mature setting and an intriguing story to perfect effect, breaking away from many of the cliches the genre relies on. [Issue 141, p.108]

    With the introduction of TNA Impact! the climate has suddenly changed; hopefully, though, this will translate to a less-frustrating (but similarly full) release from Yuke’s next year.

    Even with its lack of features, Rock Band 4 is still as fun as the series has ever been with friends. Expect the score to rise as Harmonix comes good with updates and new content. [Issue#263, p.64]

    A clunky, confused mess of a game that simply doesn't know what it wants to be. There's comfort in how compulsive it can be, but that factor doesn't magically turn Dragon's Dogma into anything other than a flawed, dull and unfair experience. [Issue#218, p.76]

    It's not bad, but Ghosts can't escape from a growing feeling of deja vu - we've definitely played this game before. [Issue#238, p.60]
