    With the introduction of TNA Impact! the climate has suddenly changed; hopefully, though, this will translate to a less-frustrating (but similarly full) release from Yuke’s next year.

    An inferior entry in the series to its predecessor. [Issue#243, p.68]

    Newcomers will find enjoyment within at least one title and, if nothing else, will enjoy experiencing a little of our rich gaming history. [Issue #147, p.91]

    Throwaway single-player and a sometimes dodgy online experience stop this from being a good arcade racer. [Issue#208, p.99]

    The real bonus is the range of race types available. [Issue#160, p.96]

    A polished, high-quality product, but its repetitiveness makes it less than compelling. Criterion seems to have lost sight of the high-adrenaline dynamic that makes Burnout exciting. [Issue#162, p.74]

    This does just feel like a slight adjustment over NHL 12, which felt like a minor tinkering of NHL, which... well, you get the point. [Issue#223, p.85]

    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]

    A nice challenge and it certainly looks good in high definition, but it can become infuriatingly complicated during the later phases of each level. [Issue#155, p.88]

    Far too difficult for its own good. Rendered fair, only by a decade-old mechanism. [Issue#158, p.92]

    A healthy, inoffensive slice of 2D platforming that no developers really bother with these days. Worth picking up if and when it's discounted. [Issue#215, p.85]

    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]

    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]

    It's pretty easy to get it right, but you do have to concentrate on every shot - this isn't "Everybody's Golf." [Issue 142, p.104]

    It's certainly a lot of fun, but TT Games is able to churn out this sort of game with its eyes closed and sadly it's beginning to show. [Issue#167, p.84]

    Kane & Lynch probably has the most mature application of cinematic conventions in an action game yet, and it brims with original ideas. However, it's let down by dodgy AI, a poor cover system and a variety of glitches. [Issue#160, p.84]

    The multiplayer outweighs the single-player but having to look up and down with the face buttons means that you'll never be the crack-shot you can be with a second analogue stick. [Issue #147, p.78]

    For one level, Tools of Destruction is the exciting, Pixar-esque platform brilliance that we anticipated from those early screens. After that, though, it's the same PS2 title as ever, and the tired mechanics of this franchise are dead to us. [Issue#160, p.66]
