    There's so much heart put into the game that it's pretty impossible to dislike, actually, warts and all. [Issue#221, p.80]

    Besides gimmicks, the core Frogger gameplay is untouched and thus lacks compelling high-score chases. [Issue#221, p.79]

    For the raw, skittish tension of the decisions you make? The Walking Dead is unmatched. [Issue#221, p.79]

    A nice little package for those in love with the brand and its heritage, but there are better alternatives out there for pretty much everybody else. [Issue#221, p.79]

    Lovingly presented, but when only one of the games in the 'package' is worth playing then you've got a problem. [Issue#221, p.77]

    Fun in short bursts and sometimes exhilarating to navigate the city, but The Amazing Spider-Man is still washed down the spout by the fact that it's dull. [Issue#221, p.74]

    While it's not a huge step up from the original, a break of two and a half years and a bit of polish makes Darksiders II easy to recommend. It has issues, but there's a hell of a lot of game for those who want it. [Issue#221, p.70]

    It's a little slow to draw in today's wham-bam crowd, so the score reflects those coming in cold. [Issue#220, p.81]

    It's quick, responsive, reasonably over-the-top and keeps you playing for longer than you might expect. [Issue#220, p.81]

    Inversion flirts with the idea of having ideas, but then gives up all pretence of inventiveness and settles for being a bland and forgettable third-person shooter. [Issue#220, p.80]

    A purist fighter. [Issue#220, p.79]

    Showing its age both mechanically and visually, there's still fun to be had here if you've got the patience and the right mindset. It'll send everyone else to sleep, however. [Issue#220, p.79]

    As exciting to the average gamer as eating an entire loaf of dry wholemeal bread. [Issue#220, p.77]

    What would be a ridiculously bland and forgettable experience is rendered that little bit less so through a fairly interesting setting and narrative. But it's still not very good at all, and not particularly worth your time. Unless you're REALLY bored. [Issue#220, p.74]

    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.

    The plot is compelling, the visual style is gorgeous, but the combat can't hold up its end of the bargain and sustain excitement. [Issue#219, p.80]

    With a staggering amount of content packed in, Mortal Kombat Vita not only benefits from the balance patches from the PS3 iteration but makes for the best version when played on the go. [Issue#219, p.78]

    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]
