The sort of simple, dumb, licensed game that causes the shelves of your local game shop to buckle under the weight of sheer undesirable mediocrity. [Issue#210, p.94]

Even a couple of odd design decisions don't get in the way of the high-octane thrills here, thankfully. [Issue#253, p.70]

A deceptively adult adventure. [Issue#224, p.80]

Amusing and distinctive. [Issue#174, p.93]

Piyotama does its best to put a clever and unique spin on a tired format, but its tendency to reward shameless chancing considerably dents its appeal. [Issue#162, p.93]

Sorcery is fun and uses motion control in a way that doesn't make you want to claw your eyes out. It's shallow and short, though. [Issue#219, p.76]

It's as close to the PS3 version as you could hope to get, but that's not necessarily a good thing. [Issue#191, p.81]

It feels like the franchise does need a rethink. [Issue#259, p.70]

EA has made some great changes this year, much the same as with its FIFA franchise. 2K9 doesn’t seem to have taken it far enough, and the small additions just leave us wanting more.

After about two or three hours of this you'll probably be tired of it all and want some peace, but this is Orochi's secret: you will be tempted to come back. [Issue#217, p.]

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

It may not be a classic, but The Bourne Conspiracy still gets more right than it does wrong. Thanks to the awesome variety of Takedown moves, there are few games that will make you feel more like a highly trained killer.

Better than Rebellion's recent fare, but still not great. [Issue#214, p.80]

Where Cubixx HD comes into its own is through multiplayer. [Issue#207, p.99]

Given half a chance, Sacred 2 will swallow your life. You’ll find a highly enjoyable experience here – if a little rough around the edges. But it’s compelling stuff nonetheless.

Decent towards the end but dull and unsatisfying up to that point. [Issue#242, p.72]

Technically the collection is lacking, but there's no denying the quality of the games. [Issue#217, p.72]

Beyond also seems to have less narrative choice than Heavy Rain, with your ending being mainly decided by a couple of large decisions toward the very end of the game. Choices up to that point can affect the specifics of your current situation, but the end result is rarely affected. Again, it’s similar to The Walking Dead: the end destination is the same, but how you got there might be a bit different to someone else.

More than just a cash-in on the franchise’s glittering legacy, Legends Of Wrestlemania is the most impressive wrestling videogame since the turn of the millennium.

Deeper than it looks. [Issue#244, p.61]

Good fun. [Issue#194, p.102]

It's okay. It's good. It's bland. It's inoffensive. It's a film license. It's for kids. It's about cars. It's got Owen Wilson's voice in it. It's everything you'd expect from it. Nothing more. Nothing less. [Issue 143, p.100]

It's not the prettiest game on PSN but it's certainly one of the best strategy titles currently available. [Issue#192, p.97]

The storyline's barely even worth mentioning over the fact that it's so much of a parody of itself it hurts. [Issue#196, p.89]

A well-put together, if not very polished effort. [Issue#190, p.71]

The best in the series so far, but with no real gameplay improvements. The action may feel far too familiar to owners of Virtua Tennis 3 – if you’re one of them, only check this out if you can’t live without PSN.

It's not very original, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a similarly priced first-person shooter that offers this much impressive content. [Issue#209, p.99]

You can block routes off with loot, and most battles descend into simply turtling into a corner, playing the boring, easy route. A shame, as it's otherwise solid. [Issue#221, p.81]
