4am's unique interaction style and possibilities deserve that extra bit of polish to match their innovation. [Aug 2012, p.105]

The bottom line is simple: while TT Isle Of Man: Ride On The Edge demonstrates how hardcore, unforgiving motorbike sims can be amazing on PS4, Ride 4 is simply dull. Authentic and capable, certainly, but dull nonetheless. [Issue#182, p.136]

Be it throwing chattering teeth with The Joker or hogtieing Doomsday with Green Arrow, there’s a constant playful charm in doling out moves. And unlike Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe, Injustice boasts a stable netcode, where streamlined matchmaking and lag-free fights make for a solid online offering. A pretty heroic effort all told, then. But one that falls short of super status.

Wonky tech and punishing challenges will leave your cold, but with our without VR, this has moments of brilliance that are worth the price of admission alone. [Oct 2017, p.88]

Overall, this is a brief game, though you can replay missions to max out your skills or find secret statues. That these unlock old-school modifiers like Big Head mode at least shows the game’s got a sense of humour. [Issue#182, p.136]

A fun skill puzzler that just about achieves its potential. [Dec 2016, p.89]

The improved handling makes for a much more playable game and career mode is satisfying and slick. It’s a little stretched feeling and overly-familiar, but still a class act. [Issue#174, p.82]

Wonky tech and punishing challenges will leave your cold, but with our without VR, this has moments of brilliance that are worth the price of admission alone. [Oct 2017, p.88]

A fantasy brawler mistaking excess for depth. With no new content, there's less incentive to revisit Dragon's Crown, though new players can still find fun with friends. [Issue#150, p.95]

The shooty racing is good, clean fun. [Sept 2011, p.112]

I love this game, I really do, but I can't give it the score I want in its current state. That would be unfair to anyone forking out £40 for a something that might work. It might not. The most amazing game of the year is in there somewhere. I really hope Bethesda can get it out.

A minor multiplayer triumph. [July 2008, p.103]

Lacklustre puzzling, fiddly controls and a brief runtime disappoint slightly. [June 2017, p.90]

Copies Arkham Asylum almost to the point of plagiarism, but it's a decent imitation. [Sept 2011, p.112]

While its intriguing concept is slightly let down by simple puzzles and empty maps, Carto still offers a weekend’s worth of cosy fun for players of all ages. [Issue#182, p.154]

A great spin-off offering a well-rounded package that condenses, but doesn't surpass, the pleasures of its bigger bro. Just be aware of possible motion sickness. [Dec 2016, p.93]

The Saboteur gets on by freedom and variety. [Jan 2010, p.110]

While mechanically stiff, like an automaton, this is still a compelling VR fairy tale. Lore hunters are rewarded, but even the less dedicated will want to go digging. [Issue#157, p.89]

Whether you find its t&a-heavy stylings cheap or charming, the unique combat and constantly entertaining animations are almost enough to elevate it into the realms of the genre's giants. At present though, without an on-screen moves list it's too fiddly to put the hours of training into – which is frustrating, because you will want to put those hours in.

Shallow, but also attractive and a lot of fun. Take Destruction AllStars for a spin, and you’re guaranteed a good time whenever you slip into the driving seat. [Issue#186, p.91]

The decent script and original cast won't disappoint. [Sept 2009, p.106]

There are great ideas at play, you’ll laugh from time to time, and it’s definitely a story you’ll want to follow to the end. However, where the Danganronpa games are deliciously dark and furiously inventive, Zanki often leans on sexual innuendo to entertain when it really doesn’t need to, like a fire juggler who keeps making boob and willy jokes. [Issue#162, p.82]

Fast, fluid movement, pin-sharp aiming and the endless cool of a rechargeable slo-mo function are on your side. [Sept 2011, p.114]

A genius idea guaranteed to amuse, Job Simulator offers incredible short term thrills. Alas, unfulfilled potential means you'll hand in your notice quicker than is ideal. [Dec 2016, p.95]

Excellent online action offers hours of Stormtooper-shooting fun, but the so-so campaign stumbles, while cynical loot crates leave a sour taste. [Jan 2017, p.83]

The humour is as sharp as a good episode of the TV show. [Christmas 2007, p.104]

There are tactical treats to be had if you can channel your inner Patton. [June 2017, p.92]

With up to four players, it’s a unique structure for multiplayer action. As it’s a stealth horror game communication is key, and it’s best played with people you know. [Issue#166, p.89]
