    This has the most swearing we've ever encountered in a videogame so if that appeals then pick up a copy. [Issue#146, p.91]

    As you might have predicted, this is not for fans of pick-up-and-play titles and neither is it necessarily for fans of other tennis games, but for those with the determination and dexterity of an actual tennis player, it offers plenty.

    The occasional flash of design ingenuity isn't enough to save Sly's revival from being just slightly above average. There are too many boring sections with Sly's extended, arbitrary cast, and levels that aren't weighty enough to sustain interest - a patchy return for Cooper. [Issue#229, p.74]

    As a PSP game this was truly exceptional. As a PS2 release it's not as technically impressive, but still represents fantastic value for money. [Issue #92, p.92]

    Excelling in so many aspects, from its eye-popping visual style and electronic soundtrack, through to its perfectly balanced twin-stick action and smart, surprising story, Wrong Number lives up to the legacy of the original. We’d go so far as to say it’s essential.

    The concept for Eye of Judgment remains brilliant, the game itself (with enough cards) is brilliant, it's just that it's going to cost a lot of money before you can make any proper progress in it. [Issue#159, p.90]

    Like "Lumines," however, the ear and eye candy is more than just, well, ear and eye candy, and is completely inseparable from the gameplay. [Issue 145, p.82]

    Odd rough patch or misfire aside, Resident Evil 6 is bursting with innovation, content and confidence that shows Capcom knows exactly what it's doing with it's series. Now fully tooled up for co-op, this feels like Resident Evil worthy of modern times.
