A decent outing, aided by the genuinely exciting harmony option. Another great "SingStar." [July 2008, p.72]

The lazy HD conversion is disappointing. [Dec 2011, p.97]

A brilliant cut-price remix of an already standout game. [Dec 2011, p.104]

A great new setting. [Dec 2011, p.110]

A great interpretation of its sport. [Oct 2006, p.86]

It's not the most progressive or technically impressive game on PS3, but the morality system, weapon customisation and online co-op elevate it, and it's one of the best cover-to-cover shooters on PS3. [Jan 2010, p.68]

Beautiful, a tad self-indulgent, but packed with tactical warfare. [Dec 2008, p.74]

The clean, somewhat clinical presentation hides some seriously hellish later stages, so some patience is required to beat every level but for puzzle fans, this is definitely a logical purchase. [May 2010, p.96]

Excellent player control and an interesting, globe-hopping story. [July 2012, p.98]

Another stellar entry in the series then, but not one for newcomers. [Mar 2010, p.88]

Inventive throughout. [Sept 2011, p.111]

A great PSP port. The level editor is intact, and the only real omission is multi-player. [Jan 2010, p.88]

A brilliantly balanced score-attack game. It looks lovely too. [May 2007, p.77]

Pretty much the same as "FIFA 07" but tighter and more feature-packed than ever. A good effort. [Nov 2007, p.76]

Not one for loners, but a technical tour de force - one of the sharpest shooters on PS3. [Feb 2008, p.56]

The best Splinter Cell yet and a top-notch stealth game. But Sam needs some new ideas to topple Snake. [Dec 2006, p.84]

Brilliantly brutal fighting, but there's still room for series improvement. [July 2010, p.86]

The D-pad has never felt so right for steering. [Dec 2007, p.78]

Wonderfully polished. [Jan 2011, p.90]

A steal at 30 quid. [Jan 2011, p.94]

For those who master its Everest-steep learning curve, this is tense and rewarding stuff - and it's pretty beautiful looking too. [May 2012, p.103]

It won't convince some, but the more open-minded will revel in these calm, cheerful, engaging fields. Gorgeous. [May 2007, p.68]

Big, challenging and imaginative, but its hardcore nature won't appeal to everyone. If you have a lot of time, and patience, this is one of PS3's best RPGs. [June 2012, p.100]

An abundance of recycled gameplay sours what is otherwise an entertaining, imaginative and memorable end to Ezio's story. [Christmas 2011, p.100]

Too short, but packed with quality and imagination. [July 2009, p.60]

A niche but incredibly satisfying FPS - if you can handle the realism. [Dec 2009, p.80]

EA have once again upped the ante on an already sterling series. [Oct 2008, p.78]

"Megastar in the bathroom mirror" perfection. [July 2011, p.94]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

Glory era SF that'll delight nostalgists, but near-vital for all. [Issue#174, p.74]

It's a blend of third-person platformer and unforgiving puzzler that pulls you in with impeccable logic - then spits you out, entertained. [Aug 2011, p.92]

Pleasingly deep RPG/FPS hybrid with a few niggling flaws. [Dec 2009, p.86]

It's by no means perfect, but PES6 is the best footie game on PSP and is essential for fans of the series. [Christmas 2006, p.88]

Developers take note - this is how games for PSP should be made. Keep the controls simple. Structure the action fo rshort, sharp play sessions. And cater for PSP's criminally overlooked online functions. [Nov 2007, p.83]

Not perfect, but genuinely fresh - inventive, pretty and super playable. [Christmas 2008, p.62]

Gorgeous visuals and excellent physics. [Dec 2011, p.107]

The depth and variety on offer in this deluxe editon of Tekken 5 is superb. [May 2007, p.76]

A GTA clone to a large extent, only fun's the number one priority. [Dec 2008, p.80]

In terms of gameplay, it's still not "Pro Evolution Soccer," but it's just shy of excellent. [Nov 2006, p.78]

A little rough around the edges, but this is a seriously enjoyable sandbox backed up by an involving story, well-rounded characters and some brutal combat. [Oct 2012, p.98]

Not as great as holding the peripherals, but this is a satisfying PSP alternative. [Aug 2009, p.68]

Some of the smartest gameplay available on PS3. [Feb 2011, p.101]

Fit-to-bursting with fun, Castle Crashers is a rare PSN treat. [Jan 2011, p.96]

Waffly, but this inventive musical RPG strikes few bum notes. [Mar 2009, p.56]

A decent, if repetitive, shooter with incredible looks and set-pieces. [May 2011, p.78]

Online rankings are the icing on this outwardly bland, but ultimately rather tasty cake. [May 2007, p.77]

This is the best MotoGP game by far. [Apr 2010, p.96]

A solid update: the only things missing are the lack of team talks and crowd sounds. [Christmas 2009, p.90]

Great retro scrapper. Superb in co-op but can drag when playing solo. [Oct 2010, p.84]

The tracks are still awesome. [Christmas 2010, p.90]

Every Extend Extra takes the best parts of many classic gaes, but loses a lot of their magic along the way. We like it, yes, but we like "Lumines" more... Very good, but not quite essential. [Dec 2006, p.78]

It's fast and it's beautiful - but mostly it's classic WipEout. [Apr 2012, p.104]

As a five-hour solo-player game, it's clearly rental only. For online players the value is far greater - a solid, varied, Call of Duty rival, with fresher weapon load outs, plus vehicles and drones... Shocking but short, this is an intense shooter with a lack of finesse. [Apr 2011, p.66]

The minor problems and lack of originality are far outweighed by the game's quality and improvement in gameplay. [Dec 2006, p.72]

The controls are intuitive, and the action fast, making this a satisfying PSN title. [Christmas 2009, p.91]

Not the best value rhythm action game, but a fun party piece. [Jan 2010, p.78]

For 20 notes, though, you can't really complain. Played the PSP version to death? Leave this on the shop shelf. But if you're looking for a sunny spot to fritter away the hours until you get a PS3, then GTA is still the only vacation we'd recommend.

The best FIFA yet, but EA are still a few goals short of the title. [Nov 2008, p.80]

A perfect compliment to the original. [July 2010, p.96]

There's more to this than controversy. Intelligent, demanding brains, patience...and a strong stomach. [Sept 2007, p.76]

A superb - and pleasantly cheap - HD update of a criminally ignored, highly-original old action platformer. [Feb 2012, p.107]

Cute, sweet and massively entertaining. [May 2008, p.80]

A great use of PS Eye. Has plenty of appeal for kids and adults. [Dec 2009, p.90]

It could - probably should - look better, but it's ridiculously deep and authentic with loads to do, both online and off. [Nov 2011, p.101]

The most refined puzzle-action game on PS3. Hugely addictive. [June 2008, p.72]

For Wild West virgins, it's an entertaining package, if just shy of an essential purchase. [Jan 2011, p.96]

Some inventive Trophies, clean looks and an emotional campaign make this a great purchase at 12 quid. [Feb 2010, p.92]

Ultimately, MGS: PO is like eating a platter of finely crafted hors d'oeuvres - easy to digest, but compromised and repetitive. It's just less satisfying than a set menu of balanced textures and flavours - and, simply, why "MGS: Snake Eater is still Kojima's tastiest dish. [Feb 2007, p.60]

PSP missed the first iPhone port, but this is better. [Nov 2011, p.111]

Overall Clumsy combat, but enough quality puzzling to thrill lapsed fans.

Half art installation, half game, but exquisitely done. [Mar 2009, p.60]

Innovative and deceptively deep. Another PSN masterpiece. [Aug 2010, p.90]

Soulcalibur's brutal melee combat works well on PSP, and the multi-player is great. [Oct 2009, p.80]

The slickest and toughest basketball game of the year. [Dec 2008, p.84]

Finally. Instead of piling on the modes and features, we get a visibly superior Tiger. Great work. [Jan 2007, p.64]

It's still surprisingly enjoyable. Pricey, though. [Christmas 2011, p.111]

So ridiculous you'll wonder if you're actually dreaming it - but still one of the best scrappers in ages. [Dec 2006, p.86]

An improvement on the original, with some great Final Fantasy fan service thrown in. [Apr 2011, p.78]

Simplicity incarnate, but, amazingly, turns the age old concept of left, right and fire into a strategic masterclass. [Sept 2008, p.78]

Too much has been thrown in at once, and that grates on the overall enjoyment of the exceptional on-field action. [Dec 2012, p.104]

Mesmerising and beautiful. Just excellent. [May 2007, p.77]

A simple idea, but well-executed and lots of polish. [Dec 2011, p.105]

Overall Spices up the familiar format with a sprinkling of new ideas. The best Silent Hill game since SH3.

Wonderful, but you'll needs lots of free time to see the best of it. [Mar 2009, p.70]

Heaps of fun, accessible and gorgeous: but it's a WW2 plane sim. [Oct 2009, p.66]

Polished, completely original and as good as a lot of things that Square Enix have ever done. [May 2008, p.76]

With a wealth of options and modes and this is one of the best value titles on PSN. [Jan 2010, p.94]

Genuinely difficult to put down. [Sept 2010, p.92]

The complete package for any football-loving PSP owner. [Dec 2007, p.83]

Sonic 4 harks back to the days when video games tested your dexterity, timing and patience. It's challenging, immaculately designed, super-fast, and a fitting return to form for a character who is - next to a buxom archaeologist and that dungaree-sporting plumber - arguably one of the most recognisable icons of all time.

Some edge-of-your-seat gameplay. [Jan 2011, p.96]

A kinetic, fast and tactical arcade racer that's best sampled online. [July 2010, p.90]

Frantic, deep and explosive, but demanding with some rough edges. [Aug 2009, p.72]

Enjoyably mental puzzles use the Vita's every input. [May 2012, p.113]

Some new features, but little innovation on the actual canvas. [Dec 2009, p.98]

Yet another terrific PSP puzzle game. It's not quite "LocoRoco" or "Lumines," but it's still a superior head-scratcher. [Nov 2006, p.84]

The best Dragon Age expansion to date. [Christmas 2011, p.110]

Control issues hamper this otherwise excellent side-story to the Resistance series. [Apr 2009, p.74]
