An odd but very welcome addition to PSN. [Apr 2009, p.97]

While in one sense this has perfectly recaptured the past, in another - the fighting - it's also resolutely stuck in it. [June 2010, p.104]

The hooning that ensues is heavily derivative of both Mario Kart and also ModNation Racers, copping the funky weapon pickups of the former and the screaming drift mechanics of the latter. It plays just like you're imagining, with the added gimmickry of the "Transformed" bit in the title giving rise to certain moments where your car will literally transform into a hovercraft (boring) or jet (radical). [January 2013, p70]

Tasi’s story is a well-balanced nightmare littered with delicious scares. While, like her ill-fated aeroplane, it doesn’t quite stick the landing, it should still sate your desire for atmospheric terror. [Issue#182, p.150]

A deeply flawed online penalty system and lack of content, solo and online, fail to support Gran Turismo's best-ever driving model. Here's hoping the online side, at the very least, develops further. [Christmas 2017, p.84]

A survival game that gets way more right than wrong. Resources are genuinely scarce, a real sense of danger permeates the whole thing, and the post-apocalyptic setting has been well crafted. That a game with such a troubled development has turned out so well is impressive, and as a different gaming experience it's well worth a play – even if it does feel like a warm up for The Last Of Us.

A refreshing dip. Things don’t look as impressive under this virtual sea as they do in the video clips, but there’s still plenty to keep you gently bobbing along. [Issue#178, p.83]

While far from pushing PS5 to its technical limits, this is definitely one of the most delightful launch titles. Dial ‘D’ for ‘different’ to learn how you can begin your own Snaktooth adventure. [Issue#182, p.134]

The best couchplay game since TowerFall. [June 2016, p.94]

A world worth inhabiting; one full of intrigue and murky consequences. [March 2015, p.92]

This is still a fine package, though. A new Country Clubs feature enables you and your friends to compete against one another and rival clubs, boosting your XP and coin-earning potential all the while, and the career mode is still huge. There's also the new Tiger Legacy Challenge, where you relive Eldrick's career from the age of two right into the future – it's a massive, well-executed addition narrated by the man himself.

This is a fairly immersive and rewarding experience, but more variety would help keep you hooked. The AI generated levels do make Cloudberry an interesting place, but the princess might have to wait a little longer than expected for you and Bob to get around to rescuing her.

Pretty offensive, truly disgusting, and in utterly terrible taste. Making it one of the best excuses you've ever had to buy a Move controller. [Christmas 2011, p.94]

It's got multiplayer appeal that deserves a busy community, pick-up-and-play appeal for the casual speedster, and a clear sense of character that gives even experienced players a genuine challenge (and a unique play style). So while it stands out for lack of serious competition rather than ingenuity, new Dirt is nonetheless a show worth buying a ticket for.

This is a satisfying shoot-'em-up. It won't grip you for hours on end, but its combat will keep you dipping back in occasionally to blast your friends off the leaderboards. [Oct 2017, p.87]

This mysterious mish-mash doesn't always work but nonetheless has my interest piqued and keeps my ears pricked up for the next bit of juicy gossip. [May 2018, p.94]

A bright, invigorating spin on the arcade racer with a few foundational issues it never quite manages to overcome, Onrush's fizzy free-for-alls are best enjoyed in small doses. [Issue#151, p.91]

Some may enjoy a thoroughly planned itinerary but the brochure led us to believe this fine establishment would allow us to go with the flow just a little more. [Issue#164, p.88]

Despite the pratfalls, it’s fun to swing into action here. [Issue#187, p.85]

Sadly, things get rather grindy towards the end, and Anodyne 2’s refusal to be clear about anything can make finding the last few items you need harder than it should be. Nonetheless, this is an enjoyable trip unlike any other. If you’re looking for something that differentiates itself from the ocean of grim shooters and angsty apocalypses, you won’t be disappointed with this. [Issue#187, p.81]

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

Simplicity and repetition may turn off those looking for a challenge, but Last Day of June boasts a heartfelt poignancy that makes for a richly affecting experience. [Oct 2017, p.89]

Grab your pimp cup and step up to the battle, and you'll find not only some serious karaoke, but the best online set-up for any music game yet. [Issue#51, p.104]

More often than not you can mosey on over, scooping up power-ups and territories on the way. Servants’ special attacks are flashy and their character artwork lovingly rendered, but there’s little to recommend to those not already likely to stare longingly at Cú Chulainn’s ruddy great big spear. [Issue#161, p.83]

There are moments when it feels like it's on the cusp of greatness, threatening to make you an offer you can't refuse, but the inevitable letdown is never far behind. [Sept 2010, p.104]

If Just Dance 3 was another girl on a nightclub dancefloor, I'd probably be a bit intimidated by her. I can practically feel her derision seeping from the TV as I awkwardly flail my limbs, Move controller in hand, in an attempt to emulate the steps shown on-screen.

Gets the big moments right. [Sept 2014, p.105]

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