More Borderlands. Fans will doubtlessly love this, but casuals may find it too samey. [December 2014, p72]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

This isn't meant as a backhand, but Virtua Tennis 4 on PS Vita is virtually identical to the PS3 version, which which was quite good. Smashing, even. [March 2012, p65]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

An update worthy of the source material. Old-school platforming worth jumping into [April 2014, p81]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Not to be missed a second time around. Definitive is mostly a joy to visit... even if there isn't a shred of new content to play. [Christmas 2014, p68]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

There's definitely fun to be had here for the F1 faithful, but we can't shake the feeling that Codies is taking the foot off in preparation for the inevitable next-gen follow-up. [December 2013, p79]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

A little tomb raiding may sound fun. But there's nobody here to hold your hand, you dig? [May 2015, p77]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

While it feels a bit old fashioned with a lot of story to get through, Tales of Graces f is a decent translation. If you've shied away from JRPGs in the past this is as good a point of re-entry as any. [October 2012, p78]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Even if you spend ages noodling around there, Gnog won’t last you very long. [August 2017, p77]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

For once a musou game that doesn't take the slash. A must for genre fans who missed the original's release. [November 2014, p74]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Transformers newcomers will be sated by the solid shooting and platforming on offer, provided they don't expect anything revolutionary. But if you are a fan, the many fan favourite cameos conspire to make the stock-standard feel special. [October 2012, p.72]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

In real-life, dog fighting is an elite, Darwinian art form. Here it's often the digital equivalent of school kids running in circles with paper planes, screeching "Nuh uh! I shot you!" [Dec 2011, p72]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Essentially, Dot Game is a next-gen homage to early NES RPGs. This is a 23-year-old game design with a 3D graphic 'overhaul' - no more, no less. If you pine for the past, this should keep you entertained, but it may frustrate new gamers. [July 2010 p75]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Easy to get into, difficult to master, and free as a bird. Definitely sample-worthy. [February 2014, p79]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

At this point you’re probably wondering: if 2.8’s best bit is that brief, is 2.8 even worth it? Honestly, you’ll have to follow your heart on that one. [April 2016, p77]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Videogame worlds are rarely this rich and addictive. No matter your pleasure - story-based campaigning, co-op comradeship, or adversarial annihilation - Destiny delivers on all fronts. Frighteningly, this really does have the framework of a 10 year obsession. [Nov 2014, p.68]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Minute attention to detail proves that slow and precise can still mean tense and exciting. [Dec 2009, p.81]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

The touchscreen moments are pretty lacklustre, but the biggest waste of the Vita hardware comes from the lack of co-op. multiplayer. Solid, but never spell-binding. [May 2012, p81]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

QUBE packs a remarkable amount of variety into its three-hour campaign. [November 2015, p74]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

The result? A flawed, beautiful contraption – which is appropriate, given how common those are in Tides’ Ninth World. [May 2017, p82]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Expertly paced and has an arresting visual style. In tight spots, combat can often become a 'flailure'. [April 2015, p80]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

As an RTS game R.U.S.E. succeeds. It's tough and it's tight. As an RTS game, however, it's destined to only be embraced by a small, hardcore community. [Oct 2010 p.75]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

While Saints Row IV might be crass, stupid and a bit ugly in places, it’s a lot of fun. Expect to lose yourself ‘til the early hours with this. [October 2013, p74]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

It’s simple really. If you’re not into Green Day – and honestly, we’re surprised you’ve read this far – you’ll likely feel it’s a load of dookie. If you are, however, welcome to paradise. [August 2010 p75]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

It’s a little short, but still manages to satisfy, is dirt cheap and sure to leave you a smile on your dial. [Christmas 2013, p80]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Not the best in the series, but packed full of new exclusive extras that make a return visit well worth it. [March 2015, p80]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Over time, as you form a pack of new friends who are up for regular games, this could transform into a regular party night classic –albeit one where your party guests are in different houses. And might need worming. [March 2016, p78]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia

Aside from a few isolated visual bugs we spotted, Syndicate seems to fix the technical bugbears that haunted Unity. Its likeable dual protagonists and fascinating setting are offset by little mechanical evolution and a few unfortunate cuts (co-op mainly).

Fast, refreshing and full of tactical nuance; these are the ingredients in the Twisted Metal cocktail, but it isn't without an odd aftertaste. Disappointingly, the single-player covers three fiends, rather than a bunch of dedicated mini-campaigns for the full menagerie of maniacs. It's live-action mixed with CGI stuff that gets a bit cheeseball in spots, but is quite engaging. The solo is decent aside from a few checkpointing oddities, but if you're a soloist we'd suggest the budget buy. [April 2012, p67]- Playstation Official Magazine Australia
