    • 90 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    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]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Smart, funny, charming and beautiful. Needs a strategic brain, and requires patience, but otherwise great. [Dec 2012, p.99]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It may not provide a quick arcade fix, but as a full on guitar tutor this is one of the most enjoyable ways to learn how to play. [Dec 2012, p.99]

    • 89 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    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]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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]

    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    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]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A deeply personal story created with love and imagination. [Nov 2012, p.105]

    • 88 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Simply, the best LBP on any format. [Nov 2012, p.104]

    • 84 Metascore

    A beautifully detailed experience. [Nov 2012, p.105]

    • 91 Critic Score
    Tweaked in all the right places, 2013 is the finest PES of the PS3 generation, delightfully recreating the ebb and flow of the modern game. [Nov 2012, p.102]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A thoughtful shooter that works well within the limitations of the license. [Nov 2012, p.100]

    Learn its language and you'll find unnerving depth. [Nov 2012, p.98]

    • 40 Critic Score
    Very few people need this product. [Nov 2012, p.98]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Best played in tag mode with mates, not solo mode in the duff story mode. [Nov 2012, p.96]

    • 88 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Robotic perfection is replaced by organic error. [Nov 2012, p.94]

    • 91 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    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]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Love the pirate setting, but Risen 2 is a cold RPG experience that lacks decent combat, rewarding exploration or a satisfying plot. [Oct 2012, p.104]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 34 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Lacking in excitement, polish, star power, and any sort of fun. Avoid this excuse for a movie tie-in. [Oct 2012, p.104]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Looks new and feels old, a game good in its own time but not in ours. Now it's starting to look as old and creaky as some of its skaters. [Oct 2012, p.102]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 84 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Delivers thick, hearty, face-pummeling hub-based action and exploration with lots to see and do. Not all of it, however, is worth seeing. [Oct 2012, p.94]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 83 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A little rough around the edges, but this is a seriously enjoyable sandbox backed up by an involving story, well-rounded characters and some brutal combat. [Oct 2012, p.98]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 66 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Worth a look for multiplayer. [Aug 2012, p.105]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Works well with Move, for what it's worth. [Aug 2012, p.105]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An intelligent, original, and charming puzzler that's held back by awkward platforming and some erratic, often utterly illogical physics. [Aug 2012, p.100]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Web Rushing makes you feel full-on super-powered. Although clumsy interior sections shatter the illusion, this is almost Spider-Man's Arkham. [Sept 2012, p.98]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    You can't blame a game for favouring fighting over politics, but you can blame it for making the fighting so boring. [Aug 2012, p.105]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 63 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    An expansive, realistic and challenging motorbike simulator - but its realism comes at the price of some serious visual flaws. [Aug 2012, p.105]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 81 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's a class act, but it trades complexity for charm. [Aug 2012, p.104]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Polished and zippy, but having to give up control in any game is a sign that all isn't well. Sorry Sonic, time to retire. [Aug 2012, p.103]
    • PSM3 Magazine UK
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A zippy mix of combat, platforming and puzzling - enjoyable even if it is a little more punishing than we remembered. [Aug 2012, p.103]
