A dull premise and recycled dynamics. [Issue#153, p.87]

While it's perfect for kids and parents, mature platform fans will be left wanting. [Issue#203, p.89]

PES 2008 stumbles, rather than sprints onto the PS3, leaving us with the first Pro Evo game that falls short of the FIFA franchise. We expected a revolutionised football title that'd set the series back on course, but this is just shameful. [Issue#159, p.78]

With over 400 items to be discovered or created in the game, Eternal Mana is a micro-manager's dream. [Apr 2006, p.103]

A solid, enjoyable fighting game held back by an overly mechanical feel to fights and an air of simplicity that's just too hard to ignore. [Issue#223, p.80]

Tokyo Jungle is rough around the edges and mad as a box of spaniels with hammers glued to them, but you know what? It's actually good. We did not expect that – we expected throwaway silliness, not a game we actually want to play between sessions on all the other games that are out or coming out oh god there's too many games to play.

"Quotation Forthcoming"

Some nice ideas, but ultimately far too predictable. [Issue 141, p.99]

Instantly likeable. [Issue#212, p.103]

A little light on characters and modes perhaps but all the same, Battle Royale is great fun. [Issue#225, p.54]

It's a shame that the gameplay is so linear because the tech truly is astounding. [Issue#198, p.103]

Bomberman fits nicely in your palm and is an easy recommendation for anyone with friends. [Issue #150, p.90]

Devilishly addictive and challenging. [Issue#192, p.89]

More forgiving than its predecessor, Extreme Justice makes few changes to the "Chase HQ" formula. The graphics are identical and cut-scenes are slightly entertaining, but the ideally replayable missions make this a valid release. [Issue#159, p.74]

A classic 69. It's fun until you realise you're not getting enough out of it and that there are better games to play. Find something that allows for deeper penetration rather than the surface tickling provided by FlatOut 2. [Issue 142, p.86]

It might not light the world on fire, but Mini Ninjas is a good, solid game. [Issue#74, p.74]

It sets a very high benchmark for what can be achieved on Sony’s new console, while only giving a hint at what innovative gaming experiences are waiting to be discovered in the hardware’s future.

Brilliant fun. [Issue#218, p.81]

A passable and unspectacular campaign is unlikely to win any new fans, but Hardline's fresh take on Battlefield multiplayer makes it worth a shot. [Issue#256, p.68]

Just pure, solid fun. [Issue#225, p.74]

It's problems lie in design, though - the largely empty world seems almost superfluous and you'll come away from each encounter triumphant, but lacking any sort of reward. [Issue#257, p.70]

The best Need for Speed game in years. [Issue#161, p.86]

Good fun. [Issue#186, p.79]

Probably the most visually accomplished Lego title. [Issue#206, p.89]

Boring. [Issue#190, p.80]

It may not be the best-looking thing on two wheels, but MotoGP 13 translates the art of motorcycle racing onto the humble PlayStation 3 controller. That's no small feat. [Issue#233, p.80]

Works equally well with or without Move support. [Issue#201, p.99]

For arcade gameplay that's barely changed at all in the 20 years since the original, After Burner: Black Falcon still feels fresh and thrilling, and the graphical facelift it's been given makes it exciting to watch too. [Issue #152, p.70]
