Default difficulty provides mindless fun, tougher difficulty the hardcore challenge. [Issue#210, p.98]

Fun in short controlled bursts, but far too straighforward and repetitive to stand up to long, involved periods of play. [Issue#162, p.90]

If you're a Grasshopper or Suda51 fan, add about 18% to this score. From an objective viewpoint, it's a fun but flawed hack-and-slash game with a quirky setting. From a subjective viewpoint, it's bloody brilliant – so much so you can overlook its clunkier elements.

Fracture supplies the recommended dose of excitement, and not a drop more. While its puzzles come close to rescuing matters, that feeling of half-hearted exploration and only just adequate gunplay never quite wears off.

Pleasantly absorbing. [Issue#243, p.62]

Worth the memories. [Issue 141, p.110]

A colossal disappointment, especially after last year's "Project 8," and most certainly in the face of EA's "Skate." The one thing this franchise needs is a good year off. [Issue#160, p.72]

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]

Majin's old-fashioned approach may well wash a wave of nostalgia over you. [Issue#199, p.88]

while it's fun with friends and family, it's just not one you'd bother with alone. [Issue#196, p.93]

Over in a flash, Legend is great in parts, rubbish in others. There's simply not enough tomb raiding. In fact, there's not enough of anything. Despite some great moments, there's just not enough gameplay, leaving this sadly lacking. [Issue#139, p.66]

Manages to mix a story mode with the tile matching to surprisingly good effect. [Issue#188, p.87]

Sure to have us hooked for the forseeable future. [Issue#252, p.70]

It carefully bridges the gap between its PC flight sim heritage and the arcadey world of consoles. [Issue#183, p.74]

Gets a hell of a lot of things right and is fun - especially if you're willing to experiment with your approach. But some poor design choices and a bizarre level of bugginess let the whole ting down. [Issue#204, p.78]

A surprisingly powerful music-creation tool. [Issue#186, p.81]

It’s good fun, even if it doesn’t feel quite as thrilling as we would have liked. With a little more tweaking of the controls and maybe a new approach to the genre à la Skate, this could have fared much better.

Fun and a solid challenge, but lacking in some respects, showing its age, sometimes unfair and with pointless Vita-specific controls. [Issue#217, p.81]

Arctic Edge is a massive challenge and in no small part raises the technical bar for handheld racers. [Issue#184, p.75]

Whilst playing it on the hardest difficulty seems pointless to anyone but the most hardened of fans, the game has seen a significant hike in quality and fun since the last one. It's just the balance of the difficulty that isn't quite right. [Issue #150, p.76]

A solid and engrossing title that fans of both adventure and puzzle games will find a lot of enjoyment in. [Issue#163, p.95]

The campaign is crap. Clearly. [Issue#225, p.70]

It's a little pricey, but fans of Monkey Ball will be more than happy with this digital substitute. [Issue#194, p.103]

A pleasant surprise. [Issue#197, p.103]

But this is progress, all the same. Sure, Sniper Elite III is rough around the edges, but it offers just enough that it makes up for all that. It succeeds as a shooter thanks in large part to that crunchiness, yet as a sequel it is improved in clearly defined, tangible ways.

It's online, it's smooth to control, it's cheap, and it's worth a blast. [Issue #152, p.72]

The combat system is cool, the alchemy is cool, the voice acting is cool; unfortunately the fetching and errand running is so archaic, you can hear it dying. [Issue 144, p.87]

The aesthetic is arresting, but the gameplay not so much. [Issue#206, p.99]
