Frustrating and unpolished, it smacks of a rushed movie tie-in. [Issue#92, p.92]

The game is basically an interactive optical illusion. [Issue#169, p.90]

With only the most insignificant flaws remaining, Grand Theft Auto IV is a triumphant epic that no other developer could ever create. Designed with unrelenting passion, the series has categorically set the standard for the coming years.

Measure yourself on a graph that shows 'love of racing' on the vertical by 'impatience' on the horizontal. If you place somewhere around the top-right, then give it a try. [Issue#165, p.80]

Top visuals, and some lovely particle effects create the illusion of a triple-A title. [Issue#164, p.95]

Dark Sector is plagued not only with mechanical issues but user-unfriendliness. Some exciting battles, atmospheric lighting and mere intrigue for the Glaive can't nearly make up for that, but that's all it has. [Issue#165, p.84]

It's as if Hydravision made a list of all that's tiresome about this genre then carefully made sure not one item on the list was left out of this game. Then added co-op to apologise for it. [Issue#157, p.91]

Viking is enjoyable, but not long lasting. [Issue#165, p.82]

It's certainly one of the better Naruto games for any of Sony's consoles. [Issue#172, p.89]

An excellent RPG. Incredibly well paced with a touching and sometimes amusing story, and a great levelling-up/combat system, though you do get the feeling you'd enjoy it more if it was on the PS2. [Issue#167, p.90]

Despite being awash with new features and ideas, Condemned 2 is no match for its predecessor thanks to clumsy pacing and a lack of any real craft of subtlety. Still, fans of extreme violence won't be disappointed. [Issue#165, p.88]

Finely honed, beautifully crafted and offering a mountainous challenge, World Tour reels you in with stat boosts and loyalty rewards and never lets you go. Satisfaction is definitely guaranteed. [Issue#165, p.91]

Sega Superstars Tennis makes banal use of Sega's heritage, and abandons the explosive creativity that Sumo was once associated with. [Issue#165, p.92]

It's simply not as good as the last version. [Issue#164, p.82]

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]

The formula here has already been pillaged, but it's not as suicidal as the PS3 version. [Issue#160, p.98]

It can be so fluid and so slick at times, but by God, it's so bloody annoying sometimes. [Issue#163, p.87]

It's a refreshing change from the standard slew of shooters. [Issue#164, p.86]

While it represents better value than many of the titles it rubs shoulders with in the PlayStation Store, it's too annoying to recommend to anyone without a forgiving, patient and, most importantly, mindlessly trigger-happy disposition. [Issue#165, p.93]

The most thrilling game we've played on the PSP, and it only feels like a moderate step down from the PS2 installments. [Issue#165, p.76]

Poor gameplay, substandard graphics and a lack of vision severely limit its appeal to shooter fans. [Issue#165, p.86]

It's not a particularly fun game, but it does manage to capture the essence of the series pretty well, and has a couple of clever ideas that do make it enjoyable enough to play. [Issue#164, p.93]

Not quite as enjoyable as "LocoRoco," but containing significantly more depth, Patapon will be immediately accessible to some, but may take a little work with others. Once you're into it though, it's a real blast. [Issue#163, p.76]

The laziness of the Playstation 3 port prevents it from being essential. [Issue#163, p.80]

Refreshing, but probably should have been better. [Issue#163, p.78]

Avoid this shameful anathema like a toilet cubicle with an unflushed poo in it. [Issue#164, p.94]

A major improvement for the series, but there's still not enough to it to warrant a hearty recommendation. [Issue#163, p.94]

Nothing new as far as the franchise is concerned. But the formula is so brilliant, why change it? Studio Liverpool tried once with "Fusion" and it took "Pure" to get it back on track. Pulse helps keep it there. [Issue#159, p.94]
