    This is the last year when mere iteration will cut it; we're gonna need to see something truly new soon. [Issue#250, p.68]

    Poorly thought out puzzles, pointless gameplay mechanics and horrifically garish visuals all combine to create a thoroughly disappointing sequel. Oh well. [Issue 145, p.91]

    Actually plays slightly better than the new PS2 version - perhaps it's because you don't have to press buttons repeatedly quite as much and this helps save your wrists from pain and prevents you from snapping your PSP in half. [Issue #147, p.88]

    Despite a few little things that we'd change, this is an interesting and, at times, thought-provoking experience that deserves to be exposed to a wider audience on PS4. [Issue#267, p.66]

    Younger gamers will find this fun and funny. Older gamers may just weep in appreciation. [Issue#180, p.82]

    The foundation of the series proves solid here. [Issue#153, p.70]

    • 75 Critic Score
    Enjoyable but not the earth-shattering game it could (and perhaps, should) be. There's no excuse for trotting out the same old racing schtick with the Playstation 3's potential left untapped. [Issue 148, p.52]

    A solid and engrossing title that fans of both adventure and puzzle games will find a lot of enjoyment in. [Issue#163, p.95]

    A wonderful treat for comic book fans and a pretty decent fighting game to boot. [Issue#231, p.70]

    A great example of the new wave of indie horror, Outlast isn't revolutionary or particularly terrifying, but some great jump scares and a fun, cheesy story make it well worth checking out. [Issue#241, p.72]

    Some will be put off by the lack of action and wonky pacing, but those who stick around will experience one of the best videogame stories of recent years. [Issue#261, p.72]

    Hard as nails, but still incredibly satisfying. [Issue#192, p.97]

    If it had flawless platforming, reactive bosses, and a tighter difficulty curve, then we'd be head-over-heels for Teslagrad, but as it is, it's just a good little puzzle platformer that often frustrates. [Issue#253, p.66]

    It's an easy recommendation for both lifelong Disney fans and Square diehards alike. [Issue#236, p.80]

    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.

    There is a huge amount of fighting in Yakuza 2. [Issue#171, p.91]

    An excellent adaptation that captures the core elements that has made its source material so successful and one that lays strong foundations for the episodes to come. [Issue#253, p.68]

    It leaves much to be desired in terms of content, but the quality of what is there and how it will evolve over the months makes this a top tier fighter that is going to get better over time. [Issue#267, p.59]

    Does everything that you could want from a handheld turn-based strategy game, and manages to throw a few new ideas into the mix to keep it interesting. [Issue 144, p.86]

    The problem is the stupidity of your defence - the number on their shirts apparently representing their IQ. [Issue 141, p.102]

    Riddled with shameless fan service, supported by actually decent production values. The biggest (read: best) change the Warriors formula has seen in years. [Issue#263, p.66]

    It's getting harder each year to cling onto the memory of PES being the best footballing game out there... It's not as good as FIFA. [Issue#197, p.84]

    Stunning to look at, but the experience within its gorgeously rendered environments ultimately lacks substance. [Issue#230, p.76]
