While Turok's adventure doesn't write the next great chapter in first-person action gameplay, it's a thoroughly solid, entertaining, thoughtfully-designed, and well-paced shooter. [Mar 2008, p.80]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

But the polish of Ultimate Ninja Storm's conbat system and the tightness of its controls(with the exception of that blasted evade!)are enough to warrant a purchase, provided you have a friend willing to sit close enough to brawl with you. [Holiday 2008, p.74]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Even with the PSP's imperfect analog nub, the controls are tight and responsive, making the fight combat levels (nearly half the game) a white-knuckle joy. [Holiday 2009, p.80]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Die-hard fans hoping for something new will inevitably be disappointed, but even they can't fail to be impressed at just how complete and convincing a handheld title this is. [Nov 2009, p.78]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Does everything we expect, and it does it all very, very well. It's sky-high production values and focused design create a to-the-point experience that's predictable, but also massive, exciting, and predictably, a whole lot of fun. [Nov 2011, p.78]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

The sheer number of unlockables and challenges adds tons of replayability to a game that already demands multiple playthroughs. [Holiday 2012, p.74]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Delivers plenty of stunning-looking, innovative gameplay to outshine its weaknesses, especially considering the very attractive $39.95 price. [Mar 2008, p.86]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

While the shooting and platforming elements don't individually ignite the gameplay experience, when Dark Void combines them with the superb aerial combat, the action soars and the game's potential is fully realized. [Feb 2010, p.78]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

We keep returning to Starhawk's RTS-flavored feature because it's truly what elevates the game above familiar third-person shooter fare. [July 2012, p.74]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

All in all, UN3 seems fairly ultimate by most ninja standards, at least until number four comes out. [May 2008, p.80]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Ultimately, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is a fairly standard adventure game at its core that goes from "great" to "good" by the time all's said and done. [Jan 2008, p.79]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

While Prototype 2's story has its faults, the game is nevertheless jam-packed with fun things to do. [July 2012, p.76]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

The fact that I even want more levels in a "Space Invaders" game is testament enough to how much fun this one is. [Aug 2008, p.77]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

As uneven an effort that Prologue is at times, there are moments in the game that are transcendent. [June 2008, p.68]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

As two previous games prove and hundreds of fans can attest, LEGO and Star Wars go together like peanut butter and jelly. [Holiday 2007, p.79]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

LEGO Harry Potter doesn't reinvent the gameplay brick, but it does manage to rearrange its signature parts to create a fresh, imaginative experience for LEGO Harry Potter fans alike. [Sept 2010, p.80]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

With a pretty lean summer of releases, Cybertron is among the best we're going to see for a while. [Sept 2010, p.78]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Overall, however, the game does an admirable job of balancing the natural limitations of attempting to recreate parkour in an interactive medium. [Holiday 2008, p.76]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Fans of the series won't be disappointed though, and unlike Tiger's recent media scandal, we think players should find Tiger Woods 11 a pleasant diversion from the rigors of daily life. [Aug 2010, p.83]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

With many new monsters, a vastly improved progress system, and the full original game (as a UMD-only unlockable), this is one worthy sequel--good enough that we might even be able to remember it entire name this time around. [Jun 2010, p.78]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)
