You're going to get it, and you're going to love it because, basically, it packs more glowing fistfuls of sheer entertainment than any other game on the PS3. But be warned: it's an inexcusable pain in the arse when it wants to be. [Issue#163, p.70]

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]

The best game we've played this year. [Issue#163, p.92]

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]

Trials of Topoq is tedious, and you really need floating arms to play it. [Issue#159, p.97]

Controlling the snake is just awkward with the stick, and the design style is a bit meek. [Issue#159, p.97]

Horribly frustrating and stressful to play. [Issue#162, p.92]

There might be loads of courses, events and vehicles, but most of them aren't that entertaining, while some are downright frustrating. [Issue#164, p.89]

Epic has created a monster of an FPS that's only slightly let down by its single-player mode. [Issue#162, p.78]

It's five games - every one of which is among the best of its type, if not the best - for half the price of one. Had Valve updated it for PS3 then it would have socred even higher. [Issue#161, p.76]

Congratulations on a massive failure, this one is going in the history books. [Issue#163, p.90]

A waste of time once you've mastered the strike technique. [Issue#163, p.86]

The game will sap you until all that's left is a dry, withered husk. [Issue#162, p.89]

A visciously addictive way to kill time, although it doesn't hold up too well on repeated play. [Issue#163, p.86]

Once you get to grips with the new guitars and find people to play with, Rock Band is a fantastic title that oozes quality. [Issue#162, p.84]

A better FPS mode, gun and conversion would make a huge difference! [Issue#166, p.94]

The lack of any multiplayer at all is criminal, and the price tag is far too steep. [Issue#165, p.87]

A huge leap forward for the franchise and the best Medal of Honor in the series to date. However, it's betrayed by a complete lack of polish. [Issue#161, p.96]

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

One of the best things about Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is that it actually has an ending. [Issue#161, p.80]

Nastily boring. [Issue#161, p.88]

Entering the ring with a lot to prove, the development team has been both daring and dynamic in its approach. Despite a few glitches, Yuke's has produced a game that can more than hold its own with the quality "SmackDown" games of old. [Issue#159, p.66]

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

Another outing for Sonic that has moments of nostalgic brilliance; a brilliance that is sadly marred by some rather questionable tweaks to the gameplay and an annoying AI. [Issue#162, p.95]

For all the tweaking seen in KOF XI it's only really the followers of the series who are going to appreciate the subtleties that hve been introduced. [Issue#156, p.84]

Dumb, violent and pretty dull, this is an old-fashioned back 'n'-slash, with a few odd additions, but not one worth shoulding about. [Issue#161, p.84]

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