The major new addition - greater control of offensive blocking - offers a reliable alternative to players tired of throwing the ball. [Issue 148, p.84]

It's still a fantastic game and an absolute riot in multiplayer. [Issue#198, p.103]

Surprisingly good fun. [Issue#239, p.68]

The basics are superb, visuals gorgeous and potential enormous - while there wasn't a huge amount of content at launch, we've already seen the world improve, and that's just going to keep on happening. [Issue#249, p.52]

Engrossing. [Issue#185, p.79]

Has now become an extremely formulaic blueprint. [Issue#213, p.90]

It eventually drives the concept into the ground. [Issue#207, p.98]

A solid strategy romp and well worth any strategy fans' time. [Issue#197, p.94]

Certainly charming and different enough to be worth a look, especially given the relative lack of decent Vita titles. But its core structure lacks finesse, and some won't see this fairytale through to its end. [Issue#229, p.83]

It's a terrific concept bolstered by some truly great game modes and excellent unlockables. [Issue#184, p.85]

A better treatment than Aerosmith or AC/DC but still way short of the tributes paid to Metallica and The Beatles. [Issue#194, p.92]

Yes, it only features five games and, yes, they are more or less identical, but it's worth picking up to experience the majestical "Gradius Gaiden." [Issue 144, p.83]

Hell’s Highway would have been better received had it made its original street date, but the multiple setbacks have caused it to be overtaken by other games. A disappointment to say the least.

At four hours long, Quest For Booty doesn’t outstay its welcome, but it’s devoid of ambition, as is customary with the series. Ratchet & Clank is beginning to feel like a licensed franchise, but without the licence.

Dominator may lack a proper identity, but in terms of visceral action and an absolutely thrilling sense of speed, it's distinctly Burnout - and therefore brilliant. Just be prepared for more of the same. A hell of a lot more. [Issue #152, p.74]

A nice idea, but we'd rather play the real deal. [Issue#202, p.97]

There's a fun multiplayer game in there but it's buried underneath a disappointing single-player campaign, awkward controls and a steep learning curve. [Issue#216, p.77]

It can't sustain itself for more than an hour or so. [Issue#212, p.92]

The action sequences are some of the best on PS4 and William Blazkowicz is still a badass. [Issue#258, p.68]

Harder than a cage fighter on Viagra. [Issue#213, p.97]

It trumps the last version on PS3 by merit of opening up more player options – generally it's the same game, but the method of taking a shot can use any one of five different mechanisms. Other than that it's business as usual – madly compulsive, quick to pick up and difficult to master, questionable representation of young girls.

The whole point of this carnage, of course, is to survive as long as possible and rack up enough points to dominate your leaderboard of choice. It’s as old-school a premise as any game can have, but at least Burn Zombie Burn’s comedy weapons make the whole thing jolly god fun as a bonus.

The most innovative Far Cry since the second game, Primal is a tremendously enthralling streamlining of the series, and a powerful trip back in time. [Issue#268, p.70]

The whole package feels like a full-price reskin and track pack. [Issue#187, p.73]

A solid challenge. [Issue#204, p.97]

As DLC for FIFA 12 this would be slightly more palatable, but as a full scale release it's not up to scratch. [Issue#217, p.78]

Even better thanks to far cleverer puzzles. [Issue#194, p.102]

You'll notice this number is higher than that we gave WWE 12 (50%), even though we complain about a barely-evolved sequel here. Well, the power of nostalgia and the strength of the Attitude era combine nicely. Other than that? This is a pointless game.
