"Quotation Forthcoming"

It's ironic that a game so willfully, tonally idiotic can be this cleverly designed. A smart, slick, and striking multiplayer curio that's worth the digital paper it's printed on. [June 2017, p.93]

A consummate package of shooting, slide tackling and swearing, but with some familiar current-gen frustrations. The saving grace could be FIFA 21’s free PS5 upgrade. [Issue#182, p.137]

A no-brainer for Lego enthusiasts - a no-thank you for those upset by locked content. [Dec 2015, p.88]

Living up to its developer's name, this puzzler is double fine value at £9.99. Just be warned that its own see-saw of fun counterbalances every five belly laughs with a mildly exasperating headache.

The Dark Pictures Anthology has yet to truly impress but, for the price, there are worse fates. However, reader beware, you’re in for more than your fair share of screaming puritan jump scares. [Issue#182, p.158]

Starts slowly before revealing some winning qualities. [Jan 2017, p.87]

The real-time battles open the game's appeal up beyond the hard-nosed RPG fan. [Sept 2007, p.112]

The technical improvements are so minor, especially on the base PS4, you honestly might as well just play the PS3 version from ten years ago. Both are lots of fun. [Issue#182, p.138]

It's worth another trip down Sunset Boulevard. [Jan 2017, p.87]

Like one of nature’s colossal ice cubes trying to crash poor Leo and Kate’s trip, Revelations sadly hits a stumbling block. In one key area, the action has unforgivably regressed from 2005’s Resi 4. Specifically, enemies now barely react to your bullets.

What Saints Row: The Third is made for though, and where it really excels, is just messing around to your heart's content. Okay, perhaps not your heart – maybe the heart of some homicidal lunatic with a fetish for molluscs. Because from the Octopus Launcher to the Manapault (a car that lets you hoover up and then fire out pedestrians) to the Apoca-fists (which turn anyone you punch into instant man-paste) no game has ever given you such an eclectic toolbox to toy with.

Outside of the story levels, however, it struggles to truly celebrate the rich Marvel comics universe. [Jan 2017, p.87]

As a solid, enjoyable aerial Mario Kart alternative, this is a pleasant surprise, especially if you're someone who finds Simlish consistently hilarious. [Issue#51, p.109]

There’s very little in the way of modernity here but played solo or in co-op Blazing Chrome manages to faithfully ape the classics of yesteryear. Just don’t expect anything new. [Issue#166, p.92]

It's just a shame that ploughing through the rest of the content is essentially gaming busywork. [Mar 2010, p.117]

No changes to the basic formula. [Oct 2007, p.101]

Changes to the handling and upgrade system show a series maturing, but the focus on story means we get fewer missions. Offline and online, Iron Rain is fun, disposable nonsense. New to EDF? Start here. [Issue#162, p.90]

A formulaic adventure lifted by some fantastic design, then brought down to Earth by bugs and technical limitations. Still, there’s great fun to be had in Darksiders III if you can overlook its shortfalls. [Issue#157, p.86]

Ticks all the boxes and delivers a decent, playable experience, but it's hugely derivative and feels far too familiar, especially if you've played The Crew. [Jan 2017, p.92]

Reasons for playing, then? Nostalgia. Appeasing all those ‘best RPGs you’ve never played’ listicles. And as a reminder of why character– new ideas and memorable places – is so important to a grand adventure. [Issue#181, p.86]

It seems war does change things after all. If you’re expecting this release to be Fallout 5, then yes, you’ll be disappointed. Approach with an open mind, and you may be nicely surprised. [Issue#157, p.94]

Acquiring the lanthorn provides more of a twist as this enchanted instrument can move around more objects, such as a snakey platform beneath your feet or blocks triple your size. It’s this kind of magic that adds to this enchanting little world very much inspired by a bedtime storybook. And if all that doesn’t tap into your inner child, a section featuring slides certainly will. [Issue#181, p.86]

A contemplative seafaring adventure that tickles the brain in more ways than one. Occasionally the tide is choppy but you should stay the course nonetheless. [Issue#166, p.88]

Any wrestling fanatic worth his salt will be in as soon as he sees the roster. [May 2011, p.108]

Well made and deeply strategic. [Christmas 2009, p.116]

Surprisingly enjoyable. [Aug 2012, p.115]
