    Incredibly rewarding, and annoyingly addictive. [Issue#186, p.83]

    Most of the games in Namco Museum Essentials are plenty dull to play. [Issue#193, p.103]

    Yes it's essentially Battlefield for idiots, but who cares when it's this good? [Issue#182, p.83]

    Maybe one to keep the kids quiet for an hour, but beyond that this is among the more worthless PSP games out there. A laughable idea executed equally pitifully. Cash should not be exchanged for this.

    No Mercy's biggest failing though is its atrocious netcode that makes playing games a nightmare. [Issue#182, p.83]

    It's improved since the last Potter game, though it's still a bland, plodding adaptation of a beloved series. [Issue#182, p.77]

    While it's not outstanding or original, Bound in Blood is an extravaganza of high-octane, gun-toting entertainment that'll have western fans frothing at the mouth and keep any gamer occupied for hours. [Issue#181, p.78]

    The replay value ain't up to much, either. [Issue#182, p.77]

    The combo system is so rich and ridiculously deep that just learning one character will take you months. [Issue#183, p.79]

    It's a terrific concept bolstered by some truly great game modes and excellent unlockables. [Issue#184, p.85]

    An absorbing, burtal experience (especially in multiplayer), featuring almost-tactile physics and visuals descending the uncanny valley. Some thought is needed though as to whether a realistic portrayal of boxing necessarily brings about its most spectacular possible videogame. [Issue#181, p.76]

    Not enough to warrant the asking price. [Issue#182, p.75]

    If it wasn't for the improved gameplay additions, we'd say the first title was the better one. [Issue#181, p.82]

    Improvements have been made, but Koei's catering to its market here. [Issue#181, p.85]

    It's a no-brainer for fans of the series, but noobs will struggle even with the low-end missions for at least a few hours. Be patient because investing time in tutorials and online guides yields a very worthwhile game. [Issue#181, p.77]

    Younger gamers will find this fun and funny. Older gamers may just weep in appreciation. [Issue#180, p.82]

    Prototype merely ends up an entertaining burst of pandemonium that won't trouble the PS3 big boys. [Issue#181, p.80]

    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.

    Red Faction: Guerrilla provides no shortage of jaw-dropping moments, so it never ceases to impress or entertain. It’s by far the most interesting game in the series.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    Fuel is just too ugly, unpolished and lacking in focus to have any impact on the genre, crossing the finish line on just the wrong side of average.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    It's buggy, slightly broken and well worth avoiding. [Issue#181, p.84]
