A clever mix of real-time and turn-based battling keps combat fresh and there's real tactical depth. [Nov 2007, p.112]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

Unlimited? Not quite. Expansive But Ultimately Shallow would be better, but that probably wouldn't fit on the box. [Mar 2007]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

Easy to pick up after only a couple of rounds, this is one of the best social virtual reality experiences you'll have - but only if you find the right people to bark at. [Feb 2017, p.90]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

A roguelite first-person platformer that demands to be replayed, City of Brass offers a level of freedom few games can match. It never gets old, even on your hundredth run-through. [June 2018, p.90]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

The combat's a bit bust but not a deal-breaker, and the characters are deep and likeable enough to make for good company for the 12 or so hours you'll spend with them. [Christmas 2008, p.84]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

An accessible, and crucially, fun scrapper. [May 2009, p.96]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

A small but mesmerising Firewalk-esque tale inspired by Twin Peaks and The Outer Limits. Just beware: unpicking the ending is a case for Mulder and Scully. [Nov 2016, p.86]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

If you want a break from 2K's grind and high skill demands, this is a viable option. [Dec 2017, p.93]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

You won't be sweating with confusion over its brainteasers, but the laser focus on making you feel like a super spy earns this bite-size experience a License To Thrill. [Feb 2017, p.92]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

A super likeable (if padded) take on Episode VII...mixes belly laughs, block-smashing silliness and ace aerial combat. [Sept 2016, p.99]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

The lack of bullet penetration may prove controversial, but this is one of the best PS VR experiences on offer. Essential for fans of objective-based team shooters. [Issue#154, p.96]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

It’s the game PS VR was made for; dogfighting is fast and nuanced, but it’s the physical act of sitting inside some of the Star Wars universe’s most iconic cockpits that never fails to impress. [Issue#181, p.84]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

Like the game that started all those decades ago, this is a puzzler at heart, but one played out at a lightning pace. A brave, loving, essential update to a bonafide classic. [Nov 2016, p.87]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

This is Capcom in fine and original fettle, with a gut-punch of a shooter that's guaranteed to thaw out your wintry fingers. [Mar 2008, p.104]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

Basic but beautifully crafted JRPG in the vein of the pre-PS2 Final Fantasy games. If you reminisce fondly about the genre's Golden Era, this is essential. [Sept 2016, p.102]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

PES still plays fantastically but much of this year’s changes are slight and offline the game still struggles to find an identity. Online it’s great, as always, but the myClub changes could have gone further. [Issue#154, p.86]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

More than a simple re-release, Vicarious Visions has pulled off the impressive trick of delivering definitive versions of two legendary games. No fakie, this is the real deal. [Issue#181, p.97]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

The quality of the footy secures Euro 2016 a big score, but presentation and licensing issues see Konami very nearly make a hash of an open goal. [June 2016, p.84]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

This certainly isn't the shale-up to the formula that veteran players will want, but bring a newbie to the table and you'll find a feast of fun. [Nov 2016, p.89]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

Leaves the majority of its competitors languishing in its slipstream - with a glorious pile of fresh debris raining down around them. [June 2010, p.100]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

This is the first proper horror experience on PS3 and it's a truly terrifying one. Whether it's a set-piece scare or a random hobo jumping out at you, it genuinely can make you jump out of your seat. [Mar 2008, p.90]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

Unquestionably one of PS3's finest sports games - but also one of the most impenetrable to newbies. [Dec 2011, p.103]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

It’s pretty unforgiving, in that restoring health can only ever be done via scarce consumables, and firearms and their ammo are also incredibly rare. Nonetheless, each mission is a tense delight. You’ll mostly walk to conserve stamina and avoid drawing attention, yet rasslin’ zombies is unavoidable, and you’ll want to be done before the town bells ring. Throw in humans both friendly and unfriendly – who will sometimes even fight among themselves – and you have a wonderfully oppressive, unpredictable world. And, yes, you get to slather yourself in guts. Yay! [Issue#176, p.78]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

A princely suite of tracks, modes and features all wrapped up in a colourfully boisterous package. It's fast, frenetic and occasionally just a bit bloody frustrating. [June 2016, p.85]- Playstation Official Magazine UK

A fantastically outrageous conclusion to a remarkable story, albeit one that doesn't quote recapture the highs of Virtue's Last Reward. Don't even contemplate playing until you've finished VLR. [Sept 2016, p.104]- Playstation Official Magazine UK
