If you're just updating, think twice unless you're desperate to see a heartless Ryu murder everyone in his path. [Aug 2011, p.110]

While the gameplay is better than ever, the overstuffed presentation makes sticking around long enough to master anything that little bit tougher. [June 2010, p.110]

What it might lack in terms of raw driving appeal, LBP Karting compensates for with a charmingly unhinged single-player, chaotic multiplayer and all the customisable bells and whistles you could ask for.

It's achieved a vicious racing experience that thrills so much more than it frustrates, and it's pushed vehicular multiplayer forward significantly, setting the bar so high it's hard to imagine who can better it.

This has the rare, old-fashioned appeal of being a real pad-passer. [Apr 2013, p.110]

The only thing counting against all this is the overall size of the package. [Sept 2009, p.102]

Part of me wanted to give WWE 13 an even higher score. Namely, the 14-year-old part that would love to dust off his '98 King Of The Ring VHS and watch it on repeat until it disintegrated. Although my inner Attitude-loving teen doesn't quite win out, this is still the most authentically detailed, lovingly crafted grappler ever committed to disc.

It's a serious, focused and for the most part excellent sime that's more dynamic than "Gran Tursimo Prologue." [Aug 2008, p.96]

Amazingly it works - particularly in online co-op. [May 2009, p.97]

Utterly charming. [Sept 2017, p.86]

Most importantly, of all the launch shooters on PS4, this is the only one to try and do something different and vary its formula. Something it also does with visibly new tech rather than shored up current-gen code. It’s a combination that makes Killzone Shadow Fall a great experience and strong start to PS4.

It's great to have a solid grap alternative to UFC Undisputed. [Dec 2010, p.106]

Mastery is ultimately what will keep pulling you back in, and thanks to a wealth of modifiers, you can tweak the gunplay to be as accessible or as challenging as you want. Stick on Deadeye and you’ll discover just how much you’ve been relying on the default aim assist. Truly a whip-smart workout. [Issue#180, p.80]

This remake is a welcome and impressive return, but it makes it clearer than ever that next time Yakuza struts into town, it needs a fresh set of threads. [Issue#153, p.81]

You must download this now. [Sept 2009, p.110]

Less a game, more an endlessly inventive creator kit, LBP3 will disappoint fans looking for ready-made adventure but thrill those looking to craft their own Sackboy saga. [Jan 2015, p.81]

A surprisingly faithful adaptation of an unforgettable fantasy journey: you're likely to fall in love in the time it takes to get there and back again.

A flawed almost-classic. [Jan 2015, p.84]

Play it right and it builds into a hypnotically rhythmic blur of colour and sound. [Mar 2009, p.91]

A colourful sonic wave of imagination and joy with possibly the best soundtrack of any videogame this year, No Straight Roads is sure to pluck your strings in the best possible way. [Issue#180, p.70]

The controls are smooth. [Aug 2011, p.113]

If, like us, you found the first game a bit sticky and imprecise to play, you can rest easier with this sequel - this is a crisper experience. [Apr 2008, p.110]

The best tennis game on PS3. [March 2012, p.101]

Not a bad package for casual training. [Jan 2011, p.118]

It's still number one - barely. [Dec 2009, p.122]

What we have then is a wonderfully strong start to what looks set to be another great Telltale episdoic. Smart, dark and stylish, and with plenty of intrigue as to where things go from here.

Gallivanting through online co-op is an absolute hoot of the simplest and most addictive order. [March 2012, p.103]

Substantial, and makes us excited to see what’s next in Remedy’s Connected Universe. Our only question is ‘Alan Wake remaster when?’ [Issue#180, p.81]
