All this obsessive tinkering smacks of desperation. [Issue 148, p.71]

A brilliant start. [Issue#192, p.97]

Crystal Dynamics has revived the core values of the original Tomb Raider games and reminded fans what drew them to the series in the first place. It’s an enticingly open action-adventure game with a seriously sexy lead.

A fun, and occasionally tense videogame, Red Alert 3 welcomes genre newcomers and casual gamers alike. However, C&C fans and real-time strategy stalwarts that get to grips with the controls may find the action a little bit lightweight.

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]

An emotionally impactful tale that's enhanced by the game's commitment to its thematic core of memory, but one that can get frustrating due to its rather tricky puzzles. [Issue#258, p.71]

So yes, Ground Zeroes is a triumph: a wonderful introduction to Metal Gear Solid V that will whet people’s appetites for the main game while giving them plenty to play with as they wait. Still, the fact remains that it is far too expensive. For £20, this would be an easy recommendation, but £30 is simply too much. Still, judged as an isolated experience, Ground Zeroes is excellent. Whether you choose to wait for a reduction in price is another matter.

On a DualShock it would be great. On an analogue nub it isn't. Despite this, it's still a pretty solid game. [Issue #147, p.92]

A rather tame experience. [Feb 2012, p.82]

So very much like the Lego games before it that it just feels like a palette swap. All the destruction, missiles, and making cannons out of Lego doesn’t seem very Batman-like. Plus Clayface looks like a turd.

Falls just short of brilliance, and that's its greatest sin. [Issue#189, p.72]

Some of the modes on Medal of Honor's online component are fantastically good fun. [Issue#198, p.86]

Aside from being in a league of its own, Noby Noby Boy is so charming it can transform you from a respectable adult to a child in minutes. Don’t resist the urge – rediscover why you decided to play games in the first place.

Hints at something special, only to lose itself in mediocrity. [Issue#193, p.79]

For the first hour, I Am Alive is the greatest game you've ever played... Unfortunately, the inevitable need to scale up the challenge to keep things interesting exposes the underlying problems. [Issue#217, p.81]

Thrilling in places, but as mechanical and exciting as doing the washing up for most of it. [Issue#217, p.77]

A decent lightgun game. [Issue#212, p.94]

Successfully transplants the rally formula into an arcade mould, mainly because smashing stuff is fun. [Issue#219, p.72]

The best wrestling game in years that falls slightly short simply due to a lack of content. [Issue#204, p.80]

Rapstar touches the musical bones other games can't reach. [Issue#199, p.98]

It's fun flying about and pressing the missile button when the target gets red. It's just it's not so fun when missions take up to half an hour on the later stages; it really does get a bit repetitive after a while. [Issue 144, p.76]

Yes it's an extremely solid racer, and yes it does a good job at emulating the original 360 game, but ultimately, there are far better racers available. [Issue # 149, p.86]

As a cheap PSN download, this is a fairly solid addition to your fighting library. [Issue#239, p.72]

This is undoubtedly a divisive game, with players likely to adore and hate it in equal measure. However, that's The Evil Within's strength: it's pitched perfectly at fans of the horror genre. [Issue#250, p.56]

A decent, good-looking game that is let down by its linear nature. [Issue#158, p.78]

No classic, but it's still easily one of the year's stronger shooters so far. [Issue#216, p.74]

A fair remaster of a classic, Resident Evil is a game that holds up pretty well, but one that those not nostalgic enough likely won't enjoy as much as returning STARS veterans will. [Issue#253, p.64]

A wonderfully unique offering from our wonderfully inventive friends in Japan. [Apr 2006, p.94]
