Playing with four is the most fun. [Aug 2009, p.115]

Strictly in terms of gameplay, this is probably a 7/10 - fun and polished if a little repetitive - but there's absolutely an extra level of enjoyment and quality here thanks to the smart and sensitive use of much-loved material. [July 2009, p.86]

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

A Greatest Hits album that's more like a collection of vintage B-sides. [Sept 2009, p.110]

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

A cheap and cheerful arcade shooter. [Sept 2009, p.112]

The big-pixel graphics look sparky in HD, and crucially for massive babies like us, there are some easy Trophies to be had. [Sept 2009, p.112]

One of the best superhero experiences yet - maybe not quite the equal of inFamous, but a genuine alternative for the inner maniac in you. [July 2009, p.98]

The good news is that playing with friends is still really fun. [July 2009, p.96]

It all feels a little soulless. [Sept 2009, p.106]

It's a fundamental (problem): you're playing Rock Band on a PSP. [Aug 2009, p.112]

Accomplished and addictive. [Aug 2009, p.117]

Retread. [Christmas 2009, p.116]

Superb value. [July 2009, p.104]

You won't find a better way to work through those anger issues. [July 2009, p.94]

So you can keep your super serious racers with their parts, bins, gear ratios and manicured race tracks; I'll be playing Fuel with its tornadoes, hovercraft and XXL off-roading. [June 2009, p.92]

A fairly significant disaster. [July 2009, p.92]

The combat's deep and spectacular, the climbing is slick and intuitive, and the story's got enough depth behind the flashy hero/villain hook to fully merit that all-important second playthrough. There's genuinely nothing else like inFamous on PS3. [June 2009, p.82]

You can enjoy it without playing the other games first, but there's a good chance you wouldn't understand a thing. [Aug 2009, p.119]

It's a great example of how sports games should be done - both as a simulation that teases ever greater skill from all comers, and as a service to fans. [June 2009, p.88]

The game mostly consists of busywork. [July 2009, p.102]

As long as you're not expecting anything more complex than the ancient side-scroller that inspired it, Bionic Commando offers plenty of fun. [June 2009, p.100]

Loads of geeky fun. [Aug 2009, p.118]

I'd have happily raved about this clever Bejeweled-style puzzler were it not for its utterly outrageous price. [Sept 2009, p.107]

Burn this. It's the only way to be sure. [July 2009, p.93]

Very similar to Patapon, but it just about gets away with it. Partly, that's because there's loads more stuff (units, weapons and consequently strategic depth), partly because the core mechanic is still top fun (albeit exactly half as fresh as before), and partly because it seems ludicrous to criticise a game about dancing, warlike eyeballs for lack of originality. [Feb 2009, p.96]

Then there's the visual sadness, which includes duff lighting, awkward cameras, and the stuttering Zoetrope-style framerate. [June 2009, p.98]

It's much better with friends. [July 2009, p.97]
