Overall Superb action and a smart, well-rounded story - a perfect sequel.

It's bursting with content. [Apr 2010, p.96]

Light on story and heavy on guns, Borderlands 2 is saved from XP strip-mining by a sharp sense of humour and a slick, destructive multiplayer. [Nov 2012, p.90]

Too slight to rank among PSP's elite, but Chains of Olympus is as sweet as it is short. Terrific. [May 2008, p.70]

Short and lacking context, but action-packed and technically dazzling. [Mar 2009, p.50]

Overall Nothing new but two of PS2's finest offerings in full HD.

An incredible adventure in an amazing setting. Only weak detective bits and boss battles let it down.

A polished, deep basketball sim that will amaze fans, while welcoming those curious about the sport. [Christmas 2011, p.107]

Get through visual hitches and a strained finale to find a spirited open-world gem packed with extreme pursuits, stunning scenery and hoards of savage beasts. [Jan 2013, p.91]

A bold and more random game, which still thrills like few others - but the increased realism makes for a chaotic, often taxing experience. [Dec 2011, p.96]

Imaginative, epic and brilliant, but not for instant fix gamers. [Dec 2008, p.26]

A triumph. [May 2009, p.77]

A rich and bast game designed to treat fans. Great value, lacks 'wow'. [Christmas 2010, p.72]

Substantial, hilarious and huge. Sadly, this port feels hamstrung next to the DS version. [Dec 2009, p.88]

Unique and even more compelling with Move, this is a joyous excuse to lose yourself in a true PlayStation classic. [Jan 2013, p.104]

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

A noticeable step-up in class from 2K12, especially on court and in the My Career mode. Only poor navigation spoils an otherwise incredible sport sim. [Dec 2012, p.100]

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

XCOM has more meaningful decisions and consequences than Mass Effect and more scares than Resident Evil. Turn-based strategy games are cool again. [Dec 2012, p.98]

A startling, yet satisfying experience - if you can handle it. [Christmas 2009, p.86]

Wonderfully polished. [Jan 2011, p.90]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

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.

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

A world of unparalleled potential, married to an Orwellian tale of deception and redemption. Adventures this epic only come along once in a generation. [Dec 2012, p.90]

Improved, with enough here to keep you busy till "Persona 4." [Feb 2009, p.84]

Despite its age, Metal Gear Solid HD still does bang-up stealth, and couples it with some of the maddest storytelling ever pressed to disc. Still essential. [Feb 2012, p.100]

It's beautiful, that goes without saying, and a relentless beast in combat. But more than that, it understands how players play - what they look for, listen to, and most of all what they expect. That's why, and this is a considerable achievement, it can genuinely scare you with a common sprinkler system. [Feb 2011, p.82]
