Overall A challenging fighter that shows off the PSP's power. Slightly intimidating for non-fans, though.

Great value online; offline, it's a solid FPS with a lack of new ideas. [Christmas 2008, p.56]

This is the best SingStar in ages. Really. There's barely a bum note in all 29 tracks. [Nov 2006, p.87]

An acquired taste, but streamlined and authentic. [Christmas 2010, p.90]

The new controls merely paper over the same old flaws - but, ultimately, it's still compulsive fun. [Christmas 2006, p.84]

Brilliantly chaotic and rapid, but lacking that killer edge. [June 2010, p.86]

Immediate and engaging, it's a great intro to real time strategy. [Christmas 2008, p.78]

Don't worry about not "getting" B-ball - this is more of a showing-off sim, and a fun one at that. [May 2007, p.64]

It's the tightly balanced levels that make it so addictive and, despite its simplicity, the few choices you have are vital. [Mar 2008, p.80]

It's the ultimate Ridge - glowing with PS3 power and delivering exactly what you want. If you want it. [Jan 2007, p.72]

An intelligent, original, and charming puzzler that's held back by awkward platforming and some erratic, often utterly illogical physics. [Aug 2012, p.100]

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.

Pretty similar to PS2 efforts but X's multi-player side helps elevate it to 'well worth a play' status. [Nov 2006, p.72]

This sci-fi hybrid is something special. [May 2009, p.76]

Great stuff. [Christmas 2009, p.94]

Terrific games, but TCS is pointless if you've played them before. BUt it you haven't, get it. [Christmas 2007, p.66]

Some episodes are a bit short, but Siren's tense horror is ace. [Sept 2008, p.70]

Resident Evil 6 is one hell of a long ride, and there are some amazing stunts along the way. Even a few original ones. But next to the shooter that it tries so assiduously to out-do, Resi 6 feels stale, and compounds things with OTT action sequences that are more B-movie than Bourne. [Dec 2012, p.94]

It's like having a pro-golfer training you to become better. [Oct 2008, p.78]

It's not a huge departure from the original but you'll be hard pressed to find a game that delivers such frantic pace, diverse courses and realistic AI as effortlessly as Pacific Rift.

Solid action that's let down by a weak story and lack of momentum. [Mar 2010, p.74]

Rewarding, tight, polished, challenging, brutal and goreous. Excellent stuff. [Aug 2007, p.66]

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]

One of the more intriguing strategy titles available on PSN. [May 2010, p.96]

A gargantuan, lavish historical epic that pushes PS3 to its limits, only to be led down by linear missions and a clunky interface. [Christmas 2012, p.82]

Fun even if the pretensions to thinkiness flounder. [Aug 2012, p.96]

Great fun, but it spreads itself pate-thin when it shoud be concentrating on the fighting instead. [Dec 2006, p.76]

A superior basketball simulation. [Jan 2007, p.84]
