    A hodgepodge of intergalactic hard arse, this is a must for those wanting something moody and fresh. [May 2009, p.60]

    Improves the JRPG rigmarole with one or two great ideas. Is a letdown in the writing department. [June 2014, p79]

    Challenging, with a massive variety of gun customisation, held back by unfortunate bugs. [June 2014, p81]

    The visuals may be as appetizing as earwax, but this is still inexplicably fun, especially with a cohort. [March 2014, p79]

    It's still not quite perfect, but Awesomenauts Assemble is certainly a noticeable step up from its PS3 older brother. [May 2014, p75]

    Mechanically, a step up from Assault Horizon, but has barebones solo and is F2P. A nice substitute while we wait for a PS4 Ace Combat. [August 2014, p76]

    The one and only PS4 difference – camera-only dancing –intermittently works. Woo. [February 2014, p81]

    Shinji Mikami has managed to steer the survival horror genre back on course with an extremely tense and ridiculously bloody tale. [Christmas 2014, p64]

    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]

    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]

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

    Sets a respectable pace for two-wheeled racing on the new gen. That said, the graphical horsepower of the PS4 is still underutilised. [September 2014, p78]

    It's not the second coming of adventure games, but Broken Age is still a memorable jaunt. [July 2015, p82]

    A respectable take on the Gundam metaseries that's sure to please the faithful. Not particularly approachable for anybody else though. [September 2014, p80]

    It's still no Monster Hunter, but it's good enough to attract and retain a few new slayers. [June 2015, p79]

    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]

    A stellar addition to any local social gathering. Decent competitive online components, too. [December 2013, p83]

    A visual feast that won't sate you if you if you're a sim-leaning soloist. Offers social, arcade fun in spades, however. [December 2014, p68]

    Utterly unique and reasonably enhanced since the last outing. This is still to die for. [December 2014, p77]

    EDF fans may “BFD” but it's beaut for bug blatters of a strategic bent. [Feb 2015, p79]

    If you’re a fan of the franchise you’ll be getting this for new challengers Jacky Bryant, Rachel, Momiji, Leon and Ein. The Power Launcher move is about the only new mechanic addition. It looks hilarious, won’t rock worlds. [November 2013, p85]

    Alone in the Dark and Sin City collide to shine a light for imperfect (yet mesmerising) adventuring. [May 2015, p79]

    Like a new wrestler getting a push, the fans will determine if 2K’s series succeeds or fails. [January 2015, p86]

    Infinity Ward has taken its foot off the accelerator here. The marketing department might as well have called it Call of Duty: Coasts. [Christmas 2013, p68]

    A deja vu update of last year's Don Bradman 14. Minimal graphics tweaks and not much else. [May 2015, p81]

    Veterans should vacay here. New players from Skyrim will still get hit with the culture shock of lots of grinding over emergent exploration and nuanced combat. [September 2017, p74]

    • 58 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The main reason you will enjoy it is because the twin analogue stick controls are as simple as they are rewarding and each tackle is a cacophony of limbs that is extremely visceral. [July 2010 p73]

    Two games deep and two systems later, the grappling simply still isn’t as much fun as slugging it out, especially for those who have a more casual interest in MMA. [June 2016, p75]

    Less about providing an expansive footballing buffet of content and more about being authentic Cup paraphernalia, it features no club leagues but instead focuses on guiding one’s preferred international squad through qualification to a virtual World Cup Final. [June 2010 p76]
