It's free. [Nov 2011, p.110]

Technically competent, but a woeful simulation of a sport consistently ignored by gaming. This won't help... [Nov 2011, p.107]

A repetitive approach kills lasting fun. [Nov 2011, p.107]

A listless, pointless misfire of a game. [Nov 2011, p.106]

More challenging and rewarding than many PS3 titles, the only alarm triggered here is Ubi's lack of effort with the update. [Nov 2011, p.101]

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 best F1 game PS3's had - yet issues with AI stupidity remain problematic. [Nov 2011, p.100]

Even if it wasn't buggy and ugly, this would still be a chore to slog through. Dead Island's zombie plague is the stuff of nightmares in all the wrong ways. [Nov 2011, p.98]

A joyful, successful new entry, thanks largely to its fearless approach to the medium. [Nov 2011, p.96]

A confident and surprising change of direction makes this the best Resistance yet. Varied, thrilling and technically impressive, with only a few notable flaws. [Nov 2011, p.92]

Brash and bloody, Relic's action-centric take on Warhammer does nothing extraordinary but delivers more fun and quality than the average shooter.

Shadow of the Colossus is essential, Ico is great but showing its age, but both are worthy of a revisit - especially if you've never played either of them before.

Funny, clever and original, it's not really mini at heart at all. [Oct 2011, p.111]

One epic fail. [Oct 2011, p.111]

You'd be hard-pushed to call it a great platformer, but it's certainly a distinctive one. [Oct 2011, p.111]

It's original, cute, tough and probably the best puzzle-platformer available on PSP. [Oct 2011, p.111]

OK, but not essential. [Oct 2011, p.111]

Not essential, but if you're mid-playthrough, it's a decent bet for 8 quid. [Oct 2011, p.110]

Its mad humour brings the laughs, while odd weapons and perks make the gameplay feel fresh again. [Oct 2011, p.110]

It's oddly enjoyable in places. [Oct 2011, p.105]

Mental acrobats will get a good workout. [Oct 2011, p.105]

Let down by enormous technical failings and a plot that's riddled with lazy, confusing cliches and poorly translated dialogue. [Oct 2011, p.104]

The man packs a punch, but boring design and repetitive action leaves him hiding in the Dark Knight's shadow. [Oct 2011, p.103]

A decent enough wand-shooter that represents a wasted opportunity for both Move and the Harry Potter series. [Oct 2011, p.103]

Limbo's tortures can be hard to take, but nevertheless the game's a joy to play. [Oct 2011, p.102]

Rich, atmospheric and open-ended, but let down by twitchy AI and out-of place boss fights. Deus Ex is the thinking man's FPS, but it could have been smarter.

Not bad, but those controls leave it far from great. [Sept 2011, p.111]

There's a slight stickiness to your character's response time that makes all of Ninjamurai's other achievements irrelevant - jumping and slashing just don't feel good. [Sept 2011, p.111]

Like having your fond arcade memories groped by a ghoul's festering claw. [Sept 2011, p.111]

Inventive throughout. [Sept 2011, p.111]

A FY71 assault rifle that's perfect for popping heads at long distances. [Sept 2011, p.110]

Faintly competent. [Sept 2011, p.105]

Its repetitive approach kills any lasting fun. [Sept 2011, p.105]

Uninspiring, repetitive and dull. [Sept 2011, p.104]

Good workouts, but you need a 40ish Move controller to take part and motion detection is erratic. Otherwise, top stuff. [Sept 2011, p.102]

A wasted opportunity to show off Move control. [Sept 2011, p.102]

It will barely trouble your memory in six months. [Sept 2011, p.100]

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]

A genre-spanning yarn that still captivates, that makes up for its simplicity with variety, and looks better than ever. [Aug 2011, p.92]

A pure old fashioned score-attack hit. [Aug 2011, p.92]

Clunky, poorly animated, mostly unexplained, dreadfully written, utterly bland and archaic. [Aug 2011, p.92]

A well-paced and great-looking adventure, and one that rewards time spent with some incredible sights. [Aug 2011, p.92]

A terrible experience, years behind the competition. [Aug 2011, p.92]

The new direction is bafflingly generic: a huge disappointment. [Aug 2011, p.90]

Everything we expected and less. Duke should have stayed dead. [Aug 2011, p.88]

Not terrible, but there are many better dungeon-crawlers out there. [Aug 2011, p.86]

Insipidly competent but, sadly, just a bit of a yawn to play. [Aug 2011, p.84]

An ordinary shooty adventure, dressed up in a bizarre plot. With knob gags. [Aug 2011, p.82]

Electrifying sequel that vastly improves on the polarising original. [Aug 2011, p.78]

Thor is one of the worst superhero games ever made, which is really saying something, and it's a truly epic travesty. [July 2011, p.95]

Not a terrible game, just a terribly average one - and in the busiest genre around, that makes it as good as pointless. [July 2011, p.95]

A truly wretched game. [July 2011, p.94]

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

As a racer, it's an improvement over Reflex. [July 2011, p.94]

Good news for buffs: new players are probably best with the original. [July 2011, p.94]

Riotous irony and violence, spiked by drudgery and muddy visuals. [July 2011, p.92]

Smart Lego puzzler only held back by sometimes lacklustre films. [July 2011, p.84]

Sometimes thrilling online, but with only average gunplay and a duff story. [July 2011, p.82]

Limited freedom, but gorgeous, intelligent and compelling. [July 2011, p.76]

A glorious balance of challenge, thrills and accessibility. Vital. [July 2011]

Swarm has a nice idea it screws up. [June 2011, p.93]

They might as well call it Dynasty Warriors 7/10 and be done with it. [June 2011, p.93]

Easily the best in the series, and a must-have for PSP owners. [June 2011, p.92]

Just far too slow. [June 2011, p.92]

Completely lame. [June 2011, p.92]

Entertains under very specific conditions, but pricey and naff. [June 2011, p.90]

After the thoughtful Lego Potter, this is a force push backwards. [June 2011, p.84]

A frustrating compromise. [June 2011, p.82]

A hobbled World Tour mode and repetitive action kill the fun. [June 2011, p.80]

Testing, exhilarating and full of personality, this is an essential buy. [June 2011, p.74]

Is Mortal Kombat going to take Super Street Fighter IV's crown? No. It lacks the nuance and depth of Capcom's champ; but by adding balance to its own familiar shtick, and giving us the ace Tower mode MK has made itself a real alternative.

Still the best golf sim around, but in need of an overhaul. [May 2011, p.93]

It's limited, sure, but this absurd wrestling parody is more WWE than the actual WWE itself. [May 2011, p.93]

Very addictive. [May 2011, p.92]

Add a new competitive online mode (only two players, mind) where you can earn upgrades for your ship and you're looking at another must-buy. [May 2011, p.92]

More intuitive controls. [May 2011, p.92]

Its simplicity is the key. [May 2011, p.92]

Three big, bouncy adventures for 30 quid - plus upgrades. Nice. [May 2011, p.92]

An otherwise ordinary shooter redeemed with that game-changing Overdive idea. [May 2011, p.90]

Not quite the juggernaut it was at launch, but still a very playable racer. [May 2011, p.88]

A limited mix of mini-games that will delight children, but no one else. [May 2011, p.84]

A solid racer ruined - on PS3 - by lag. Wait and hope it's patched. [May 2011, p.82]

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

An excellent history lesson for anyone who's finished AC Brotherhood. [Jan 2011, p.88]

It's just perverted. [Apr 2011, p.91]

So-so gameplay. [Apr 2011, p.91]

There's the odd difficulty spike, too. [Apr 2011, p.90]

Solid, but no longer unique. [Apr 2011, p.90]

Not realistic, and not much fun. [Apr 2011, p.90]

There's plenty here to excite action-orien[]ted RPG fans. [Apr 2011, p.90]

Would be PSN's best strategy game - but not at this price. [Apr 2011, p.90]

Inventive, charming and fun. [Apr 2011, p.88]

It's by no means a disaster but the tweaks have left it wobbling on its feet. [Apr 2011, p.84]

Brash, unique and fun - refreshes old-school values to shame most modern shooters. [Apr 2011, p.80]

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

Nasty controls and clumsy visuals mask a truly entertaining game. [Apr 2011, p.76]

Characterful, amusing, violent and intriguing: Yakuza 4 is excellent fun. [Apr 2011, p.72]

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]
