    This is another case of same-but-better for EA.

    It's a remarkable title and yet another shining example of the excellent quality we’ve come to expect from the PSN Store when developers put their mind to it.

    If you’ve been craving for a new horror game, can stand some outlandish plot elements and have the HD space and patience to install it, then don’t hesitate and jump in. Even if it’s not perfect, the game has plenty of strong points that makes it a great game.

    For anyone into their puzzle games it’s a well crafted, tough little title with decent presentation, neat controls and (hopefully) the prospect of downloadable treats in the future. See you on the scoreboards!

    This is a game intended to be played alongside its Pixar big brother and provide an experience that kids will relate back to, and it does that just fine.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's a really, really good shooter - although it's a shame there's only one multiplayer mode - and we have no hesitation in recommending it for anyone remotely interested in the genre. Great stuff.
    • 94 Metascore

    To review such a game as Metal Gear Solid 4 is like commissioning a blind man to share his opinion on a beautiful oil painting painted by a true artist, it just wouldn’t work. The nature of Metal Gear Solid 4 lifts it above such conventional ways of judgement.

    It's not a technical showcase by any means, but The Incredible Hulk is a decent enough game for Marvel fans and we can't deny that we had some fun with the physics; Hulk's later powers can be devastating. But when you've leveled the same building five times and caused 10 car pile-ups the fun wears thin.

    Well, we’ve enjoyed our time battling the Draelus, and for the price tag it’s hard to argue against the value. There are issues that need addressing, so perhaps with enough attention Tiki Games will be able to deliver a sequel?
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliant, hugely enjoyable racer - certainly the best on the PS3 so far - and one that we reckon no fan of the genre can afford to miss. It's deep, involving, fun to drive and an absolute blast with mates.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Sure, it's too easy, very similar to Star Wars, and once completed doesn't offer a huge amount of replayability, but what there is represents good value for money.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    We're disappointed, because Quake Wars could have been a great FPS, but it's one marred with visual issues, some badly realised mechanics and crucial missing menu options that would have gone some way to fixing the issues people clearly seem to be having online.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There isn't a website on the planet that knows the particular politics behind some of the changes to what appeared to be an exceptionally promising shooter, but it's turned out to be a real stinker: Haze is as average as beans on toast, and the biggest disappointment is that it didn't have to be.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    So, this marks the start of the PS3's entry into the casual gamer market, and we can't think for a minute why this won't be a roaring success.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There's the obvious full complement of local and online game modes, but the best new option is the Captain Your Country mode.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The animation is basic, the environments look last-generation and the whole game just looks dead, as if it was thrown together by a work-experience lacky at the last minute when SEGA realised they'd forgotten something.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's cool, confident and well made, and occasional clipping snag aside it's a clever little game, but it's as minimal it looks and probably the single most niche PSN game available right now.
    • 98 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    It's a landmark game, unmatched and unrivalled and absolutely unmissable. We've not talked about the belly achingly funny radio shows, great licensed music, fantastic voice acting, the cabaret shows, the strip clubs, the restaurants, the zeitgeist tapping plot or even the guest appearances and cameos. All that you can find out for yourself.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    At £25 this is an absolute steal, and don't listen to anyone saying this is only a demo, it's not - it's worth every penny and is only going to get bigger and better given the support the Japanese version is seeing.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a game that's far better than most of the tat on the shelves just now, and certainly deserving of your attention and we reckon that a sequel could be stunning.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Anyone that remembers the shopping mall (with the mannequins) in Condemned will take great delight in knowing that Bloodshot has it's own uber-scary environment for you this time around too - in fact we'd happily say that the sequel ups the fear factor considerably throughout. If you like to play your videogames with white knuckles, this is a great ride.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Brilliant, inventive and as we've said before, a Sega fan's perfect game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a fun shooter, with a really well implemented COOP element, it's just that sometimes that illusion is needlessly broken and it makes a mockery of your tactics.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's stacks of fun to be had here, but you'll need focus and determination to dig the best bits out - we like it, but know what you're getting into before handing over the £50.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Unless you are a big RPG fan who is desperate for a fix, then this title is certainly not good enough to warranty your attention. The fighting is tedious, the story is not well told and the menus are clunky and awkward.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Thankfully then there's a two-player co-op mode, which although requires both players to be on the same machine (no online play, yet) is a welcome addition and although money is divided up into who collects the coins, gems are shared between the two players.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Paradise is a wonderful game: it's inventive, confident and brilliantly produced and just shows what's possible when developers make the PS3 the lead console. If you're even remotely into racing games, this is one you can't afford to miss out on.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Good lord, this is fantastic!
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's true that the 360 versions run cleaner, with quicker load times and there's no force feedback for Dual Shock 3 owners, but it's still absolutely worth the money for PS3-only gamers.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A hugely entertaining game that can lead to a lot of entertainment and side-splitting laughter, especially if you play it with friends.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If Naughty Dog are only using 30% of the PS3's power, we're in for some treats in the next few years.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A new direction for the Need for Speed games, and it almost works. Whilst career mode is lengthy and rewarding and the game has stacks of cars and plenty of customising options, multiplayer is weak and the lag online is quite abundant.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite the interesting ideas, Bladestorm still manages to be shallow and, whilst it may grab your attention for a few hours, you won’t want to carry on playing for much longer – the repetitiveness of it all will make sure of that.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The game offers such depth of not only styles of play, but also longevity: on your first play, some sections will be unavailable until you've unlocked the required characters; bonus levels open up on successful completion of each episode; and there's the multi-player shenanigans to become embroiled in. It's not only the complete saga, it's the complete package.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    A brilliantly crafted single player story coupled with the finest multiplayer action since Warhawk represents astounding value for money.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a brave way to use a trusted franchise, but EA have pulled it off and we can't recommend this more for hardcore Simpsons fans as they'll obviously get the most from the game. Everyone else can rest assured that this is well worth the cash.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Look past the slightly plain graphics, which are adequate but never breathtaking, and the dodgy (but tonque-in-cheek) script and you'll find a solid game that's endlessly rewarding, packed with variety and actually far better than we ever expected.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    It's actually pretty damned impossible to fault Tools of Destruction on any level: this is the epitome of platforming excellence.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hopefully in the future Neversoft will produce a 'best-of' title, with our favourite spots from the last 9 years rather than continuing down this open world path, but we've still got our copy of THPS 2x handy so we can always break out Skate Street and Skater Heaven for a bit of retro goodness. For everyone else, Proving Ground is great fun.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The key to Folklore's quality is that the game is endlessly rewarding - there's a constant supply of new Folks, quests and the ever evolving story is as good as it gets in video games; there isn't a stage in the game that we didn't enjoy playing through, and the difficulty curve is perfectly balanced.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    FIFA is now the complete package; it combines all the licensing you could want along with graphics slicker than a Gerrard through ball and adds a match engine with more play-styles than Rafa Benitez has rotation options.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The PS3 version isn't as smooth as the 360 version, which is a shame, and there's a hell of a difficulty curve but if you're willing to put the effort in there's a decent enough simulation-ish game here as an alternative to Activision's more arcade-like Hawk series.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    So, if you can put up with the repetitive nature of the game, there's plenty to enjoy here.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    As a game experience Heavenly Sword is unmatched - it flows superbly and at its highest peaks it soars - absolutely unmissable and so close to a ten it hurts.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Neon-powered rally sim finally gets its airing on its original platform (reportedly with a little bit of help from Sony) to become the definitive version despite its lengthy delay: DiRT is a great game with masses of options and modes, with stunning presentation, sharp sound effects and mostly impressive graphics throughout. For petrolheads it's a must-have.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's massively crippled by terribly implemented controls and odd game mechanics that leave you scratching your head in bewilderment.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    With a full complement of rifles and grenades you're only as deadly as everyone else around you - pick a good clan (with headsets and tongues) and devote the time, and you'll have an absolute blast. Warhawk is easily the best multiplayer game this generation. There, we said it.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you’re looking for a large robot game, a mindless killing game, or a Gundam game, look no further, otherwise, stay clear.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Even with the option to use the Clap Hanz three-tap method to swing the club, EA just seems happy to continue to build on top of the existing foundations each year rather than pull the whole thing down and start again.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Piyotama is slickly produced, hugely addictive, and the perfect alternative to Warhawk.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    SSHD is a great package - it's complete, timely, expertly produced and at just £4.99 it's absolutely essential for any shooter fan.
    • 74 Metascore

    It was supposed to be a revolution and CAC would lead the charge: cheap and cheerful downloadable games showcasing the PSN's future. But is a future of games this shallow what we want, no matter what the price?
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    FoM ticks every FPS box and adds some panache with the story and cut-scenes. It’s a stunning start to PS3 development for Insomniac and is an essential purchase.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    It is almost embarrassing to play a game with such a lack of polish and refinement.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It might be possible in the coming months to find a realistic racing game that is more fun, there will certainly be more approachable racers before the end of the year. If you want unapologetic realism and inclusive simulation then Supercar Challenge is the only game you should be considering.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Flight Control on the PlayStation 3 is absolutely the best version of the game currently available, and if you're picking up PlayStation Move this week then it's a must have because when you're tired of chopping hair or flying down Asian streets on an office chair, the pensive mood of Flight Control might be just what you need.
