Successfully transplants the rally formula into an arcade mould, mainly because smashing stuff is fun. [Issue#219, p.72]

Forgettable at best and a massive step backwards for a series that recently impressed so much. [Issue#219, p.70]

Velocity is great. Really, really good fun. LOVELY STUFF.

It's a brief distraction and sometimes interesting, if you get to watch some kid in Moscow making the most beautiful sounds you've ever heard, but that doesn't exactly happen all the time.

The continuing saga of everyone's favourite terrible cop has been a long time coming. Maybe too long. It's not bad by any means; there are moments of high-fiving, air-punching joy here. The trouble is it's both as eloquent and repetitive as its lead. Moments of glory clash with irritating, baffling design decisions to ensure that Max Payne 3 isn't quite the sequel we all hoped for. Brilliant in places, utterly frustrating in others.

Rubbish, but so bizarre as to be fun. That said, we wouldn't recommend paying real money for this, but if you happen across it in a drainage ditch take it home and play it. [Issue#218, p.81]

Brilliant fun. [Issue#218, p.81]

Special moves are easier to do and the tutorial is pleasingly in-depth. [Issue#218, p.81]

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

A central QTE mechanic [is] old by the second mission. [Issue#214, p.78]

A clunky, confused mess of a game that simply doesn't know what it wants to be. There's comfort in how compulsive it can be, but that factor doesn't magically turn Dragon's Dogma into anything other than a flawed, dull and unfair experience. [Issue#218, p.76]

Support for clans, customisation – even a co-operative horde mode – shows Starhawk is only really intended to be played online, despite marketing gumph that states otherwise. Offline, it's forgettable. Online, it's great fun.

It's simply not a remarkable game. Prototype 2 is good fun – nothing more, nothing less and certainly nothing memorable.

It's packed with content, fairly cheap and, hey, it's Lemmings! With Guns! [Issue#217, p.83]

Great for Mass Effect fans wanting more back story then, a little unremarkable for everyone else. [Issue#217, p.83]

It's impressive stuff, but there's not quite enough here to keep all but the most committed of aces going. [Issue#217, p.82]

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.]

Far more likely to make you fall asleep than feel any excitement. [Issue#217, p.82]

For the first hour, I Am Alive is the greatest game you've ever played... Unfortunately, the inevitable need to scale up the challenge to keep things interesting exposes the underlying problems. [Issue#217, p.81]

Just don't play it by yourself. These worms are dumb. [Issue#217, p.81]

Those wanting a burst of nostalgia will love this but it's a bit too old to grab most modern gamers. [Issue#217, p.81]

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]

Quire refreshing, but gets boring quickly, never really progressing that far beyond its initial ideas. [Issue#217, p.80]

Neither sim nor out and out arcade shooter, what it is is a bad game. [Issue#217, p.80]

For under a fiver you get the game on both PS Vita and PS3, too, which is reason enough to buy it. [Issue#217, p.79]

It's not worthless and there's actually some fun to be gleaned from it. [Issue#217, p.79]

As DLC for FIFA 12 this would be slightly more palatable, but as a full scale release it's not up to scratch. [Issue#217, p.78]

Thrilling in places, but as mechanical and exciting as doing the washing up for most of it. [Issue#217, p.77]
