An ordinary shooty adventure, dressed up in a bizarre plot. With knob gags. [Aug 2011, p.82]- PSM3 Magazine UK

This travels back to a simpler time, but is still a decent blast-fest. [Sept 2010, p.86]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
The gameplay suits PSP brilliantly, and is much better than if they'd made an FPS. Just about essential. [Dec 2006, p.88]- PSM3 Magazine UK

- Critic Score
Not quite the juggernaut it was at launch, but still a very playable racer. [May 2011, p.88]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Small, but perfectly formed arcade action for a bargain price. [Nov 2008, p.84]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Great retro scrapper. Superb in co-op but can drag when playing solo. [Oct 2010, p.84]- PSM3 Magazine UK

But this hardly matters, because this is time well spent, being gently humoured and greatly entertained. Like a candy-induced sugar rush, it's short but sweet, and liable to induce lots of hysterical giggling.- PSM3 Magazine UK

Dip in and out, go deep and follow a career, knock about with friends online or in the same room - the Vita version has its sense of fun back. And that's just 'ace'. [March 2012, p.90]- PSM3 Magazine UK

The gunplay is astonishingly entertaining, but Stranglehold sorely lacks any variety. [Nov 2007, p.70]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Dull levels and characters, but the Lego block puzzles are as unique as ever. [July 2008, p.74]- PSM3 Magazine UK

A thoughtful shooter that works well within the limitations of the license. [Nov 2012, p.100]- PSM3 Magazine UK

If you're of the mind that the Zelda series has been recycling the same ideas for far too long now then 3D Dot Game Heroes will only exacerbate your grounded frustrations. [June 2010, p.88]- PSM3 Magazine UK

This is the best SingStar in ages. Really. There's barely a bum note in all 29 tracks. [Nov 2006, p.87]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
A must buy for fans, but not as accessible or rich as RB: Beatles. [Aug 2010, p.92]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Inconsistent, but the tactical play will appeal to some. [Nov 2008, p.68]- PSM3 Magazine UK

- Critic Score
Four more hours of the classic TOD? Frankly, this is hard to fault. [Oct 2008, p.70]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Dominator is, truly, excellent fun and we've concentrated on the negatives because we're so disappointed it's not up to the stellar heights of previous games. But there's no doubt that this is easily the worst Burnout yet. Shame.- PSM3 Magazine UK

Not much new here, and by no means consistently good, but it still remains the pinnacle of vehicular combat. [May 2012, p.111]- PSM3 Magazine UK

A mix of the great, good and plain bad, Generations is still giddy, fun and compelling. Pricey at 35 pounds, though. [Christmas 2011, p.107]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Technically impressive but MAG is too scattershot to universally appeal. [Mar 2010, p.84]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
A decent outing, aided by the genuinely exciting harmony option. Another great "SingStar." [July 2008, p.72]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
The lack of finesse in the handling remains a deal breaker. [Aug 2008, p.80]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
A far-from-terrible sports game that's accessible and fun for brief periods, but lacks the creative punch to warrant its place in Vita's launch line-up. [March 2012, p.93]- PSM3 Magazine UK

A solid back-to-basics return to the glory days of the Hawk, hampered only by the missing online features and the occasional rough edge. Long may he reign. [Jan 2007, p.62]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Immediate and engaging, it's a great intro to real time strategy. [Christmas 2008, p.78]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Great, awful, exhilarating and painful, all in one. You'll weep with joy, or just plain weep. [Oct 2007, p.74]- PSM3 Magazine UK

After the thoughtful Lego Potter, this is a force push backwards. [June 2011, p.84]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Ranked matches in particular will supply wonderfully tense rounds. [June 2009, p.76]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Under no circumstances will RPG aficionados feel short-changed here. [Mar 2009, p.74]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Get this for the "SF2"s, if you like, but don't even bother with the rest. [Christmas 2006, p.95]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Some of the collision detection is a bit off and it doesn't have the big-budget heavyweight feel of "GTA," but it's an enjoyable, robust crime yarn. [Oct 2006, p.70]- PSM3 Magazine UK

We'd liked to have seen more substance here to go with the new style. [June 2010, p.98]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Too simplistic to compete with "DiRT," but this is still an enjoyable, pure arcade racer. [Nov 2007, p.66]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
The actual gameplay is still awkward and slow next to the flowing brilliance of "2K." [Nov 2008, p.85]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Great fun, but it spreads itself pate-thin when it shoud be concentrating on the fighting instead. [Dec 2006, p.76]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Get the decent PS2 version instead and save your money for a real next-gen racer. [Jan 2007, p.76]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Pure, brilliant fan service - and if you've never sampled the delights of Naruto, this game might even get you into it. A must for fans. [Mar 2007, p.78]- PSM3 Magazine UK

- Critic Score
Fiddly and frustrating, but not without its stand-out features. [May 2009, p.62]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Pretty similar to PS2 efforts but X's multi-player side helps elevate it to 'well worth a play' status. [Nov 2006, p.72]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Fun, but it becomes all too familiar a bit too quickly. [Dec 2008, p.86]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Solid action that's let down by a weak story and lack of momentum. [Mar 2010, p.74]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Not bad for 3 quid 19, but don't expect hours of entertainment. [May 2009, p.76]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
The waffly plot, so-so action and unlovable Prince taint some ace platforming. [July 2010, p.92]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Tense, tough and realistic often to the point of frustration, with a story and an original outlook. Mostly well designed - but sadly never 'fun.' [May 2012, p.110]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Perfection. Tiger 13 is so good it raises the question - what can EA's PGA Tour series do next, shy of personally jetting you to Augusta to play on Amen Corner itself? [May 2012, p.108]- PSM3 Magazine UK
Posted Apr 9, 2012 -

Not the greatest lightgun game we've ever played, but an amusing and suitably impressive shrine to bad taste. [Jan 2012, p.103]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Look past some of the randomness and you'll find hours of racing entertainment. [July 2012, p.106]- PSM3 Magazine UK

It's limited, sure, but this absurd wrestling parody is more WWE than the actual WWE itself. [May 2011, p.93]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Demanding, but with a fine track list and immaculate presentation. [Jan 2011, p.84]- PSM3 Magazine UK

A consuming driving experience that's not the most exciting, but makes up for it with its mellow side. [Mar 2007, p.56]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Unique combat, but lacks depth for an RPG and would benefit from bolder set pieces. [Nov 2007, p.80]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Awful bosses, poor story, and unimaginative level design bury sexy guns and good looks. [Apr 2012, p.92]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Not the best value rhythm action game, but a fun party piece. [Jan 2010, p.78]- PSM3 Magazine UK

All a Scarface game should be - full of action, swearing, sleaze, '80s music, decadence... it's a pure joy.[Dec 2006, p.80]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
An acquired taste, but more rewarding than 'VT3" over the long term. [Aug 2008, p.70]- PSM3 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
A stiff camera and fiddly paltforming frustrate, but this still proves to be a unique, fun experience. [Nov 2007, p.84]- PSM3 Magazine UK

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.- PSM3 Magazine UK

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]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Great DLC for a great arcade shooter. [Dec 2011, p.110]- PSM3 Magazine UK

A very big, deep 2D scrapper. Not stunning, but worthy. [Aug 2007, p.78]- PSM3 Magazine UK

A gimmick, yes, but a good one. While it lasts it's fun, but it needs more game modes. [Dec 2007, p.72]- PSM3 Magazine UK

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.- PSM3 Magazine UK

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]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Throwaway, stupid, huge amounts of fun and you won't be able to resist its colourful charms. Just don't expect the novelty to last for more than a few hours.- PSM3 Magazine UK

Suffocatingly familiar. Excellent if you haven't played the original, disappointing if you have. [Christmas 2006, p.78]- PSM3 Magazine UK

If you like the idea of sending a small man through a windscreen in to a giant dartboard, this is worth a look. [Apr 2008, p.82]- PSM3 Magazine UK

Army Of Two has even managed to innovate on a small scale - the non-magnetic cover system (which allows you to fire over and around walls without gluing you to them) makes combat feel fast and fluid, while the Aggro combat system (which draws the enemies towards the most dangerous player, making the other player effectively invisible) turns an MMORPG staple into a pretty effective combat mechanic.- PSM3 Magazine UK
