Much better than on PS3. [Oct 2007, p.79]

Best scrapper ever? Perhaps, but VF5 is <I>such</I> an acquired taste. Great, but not one for all. [Mar 2007, p.64]

This well polished, if slightly limited, multi-player game is a steal. [Aug 2009, p.62]

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.

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

An odd fit for PSP, but manages both staggering depth and accessibility. [Oct 2010, p.92]

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

This really is a special edition. [Sept 2010, p.94]

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

The result is a game that's as informative as the best of documentaries and right up there with the best party games available on console. That's assuming the people in your party like The Beatles of course. Despite the sheen, authenticity, and seminal extras, Rock Band 2 can still hold its head high as the most instantly gratifying and universal game in the series.

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]

A rewarding slasher, which puts action ahead of plot and atmosphere. [Oct 2009, p.56]

A backward step in some ways. But it's still PES, and so remains horrifyingly addictive. [Dec 2007, p.62]

Not small and not perfectly formed, but packs a wicked punch. Accomplished, but stops short of brilliance. [May 2007, p.60]

A cleverly designed, brilliantly executed open-world shooter. [July 2009, p.54]

Combines strategy and shooting to excellent effect. Not perfect, but it really <I>feels</I> like war. [Sept 2007, p.64]

Genius design wrapped in gentle whimsy. [Apr 2012, p.105]

Smart, funny, charming and beautiful. Needs a strategic brain, and requires patience, but otherwise great. [Dec 2012, p.99]

Not quite up the standard of the PS3 games - but then what it is? It's still a triumphant early outing for Nathan Drake, and Vita's best launch title. [March 2012, p.88]

Unlike anything else out there: beautiful and inventive. [Christmas 2012, p.100]

Controls feel stubborn post-"Dead Space", but it's still superb as ever. [Apr 2009, p.58]

The gameplay suits PSP brilliantly, and is much better than if they'd made an FPS. Just about essential. [Dec 2006, p.88]

Sticks to the familiar Zombies template, but there's a lot of good stuff here, including some hugely entertaining new weapons. [Dec 2011, p.110]

One of the best beat-em-ups on PSP, with enough manic mayhem to brighten up any joyless miser's days. [Oct 2006, p.76]

Fun to play and a fitting homage. The best 'artist' spinoff yet. [June 2009, p.72]

The concept is charming and well executed, meaning you'll probably sink over 50 hours into it. Ironic. [May 2010, p.96]

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

Great value, if stubbornly old school and a little obscure. [June 2010, p.98]
