As pure fan service, it hits all the right notes. [Issue#64, p.88]

A bit more imagination would have been preferable, but you're more than getting your money's worth. [Issue#80, p.85]

You're likely to have as much success doing this as trying to watch a 3D movie without the free Sugar Puffs glasses - it amounts to much the same thing. [Issue#32, p.116]

It's the same game as before, but better. Lost Planet isn't perfect, but it looks good and is certainly different from the other third-person shooters out there. [Issue#34, p.97]

Reliable fun. [Issue#46, p.101]

A unique experience that manages to offset its problems with great ideas and a superbly implemented core mechanic. [Issue#65, p.102]

A step back for Neversoft. [Issue#64, p.91]

It's the kind of old-school outing that will frustrate and satisfy in equal measure, above control issues proving the major reason behind such frustration. [Issue#38, p.115]

There's undoubtedly a lot of depth and longevity for those who buy into it, but 1,200 Points for a puzzle game that doesn't exactly feel new seems like a bit of a stretch. [Issue#80, p.102]

While GRAW 2 is a good game, it doesn't make for a great game of 'spot the difference' with its predecessor. No advancements as such, just more of the same. But shorter. Whoops. [Issue 18, p.74]

A surprisingly immersive experience. We doubt you've played anything like it. [Issue#83, p.88]

There is so much to love about LEGO Dimensions; clever design decisions, an excellent script and some real standout moments. But that paywall will either kill your bank account, or frustrate you.

This port comes up somewhat short. [Issue#49, p.102]

If you’re a battle-strategy addict, prepare to not leave the house for a week. If you’re a graphics whore, though, you’ll probably chuck.

Suitably frantic. [Issue#49, p.103]

What's really impressive is how well this little world, its narrative and your powers seem to organically come together. [Issue#83, p.103]

So steeped in wacky old-school charm that any flaws are promptly washed away in a sea of explosions and giant ants. [Issue 18, p.97]

If the answer to "who considers themselves up for a quiz?" is you, check this out. [Issue#34, p.116]

Medal of Honor is about three years behind in all areas, which is a problem. [Issue#65, p.82]

Love it, loathe it or ignore it, the formula always works. [Issue#47, p.100]

A competent if unspectacular return. Dragon Age: Inquisition offers an abundance of things to do but its pick ‘n’ mix approach undermines any wow factor.

Graphically not as impressive as we would have liked and really not all that different from what we’ve played before. Still solid, but uninspiring.

We expected big things from Lara's first next-gen adventure and while Legend doesn't quite live up to expectations it still offers a slick, engaging and thoroughly enjoyable experience. [Issue#6, p.88]

The cars never felt "right." [Issue#99, p.67]

Not quite enough variety twinned with not quite enough freedom leaves DIRT as merely a snack between Gothams and Forzas. But then we all eat badly, once in a while. [Issue 21, p.82]

Genuinely funny. [Issue#99, p.70]

Fuel scores marks for its awesome, appropriately used open world but loses them for the lamely executed driving mechanics and offensively common load screens.

The open world's fun and the story missions are playable and totally action-packed. [Issue#62,p.90]

While BF3's multiplayer will speak for itself, very rough scripting and level design mean its single-player campaign is good, but far from great. [Issue#79, p.74]

A charming and often ingenious little game. [Issue #81, p.90]

Yuke's has the talent and ideas to do much more with the WWE license if it would just reset its template. [Issue#79, p.76]

It made us sweat. A lot. [Issue #81, p.91]

There's a laser-like focus on gunplay here that strips away much of the fluff. [Issue#99, p.81]

DeathSpank's going to thrill some as much as it will frustrate others. [Issue#62,p.101]

Our favourite little blue hedgehog's sneakers don't have quite the traction they used to. [Issue#79, p.78]

A blend of Resident Evil old and new, Revelations 2 does itself, and the franchise, justice falling a little short simply due to a couple of poor episodes. [Issue#123, p.77]

Best played in short bursts but it's still unbelievably repetitive and, at times, monotonous. But it can also be fun and you get two games in one. [Issue 26, p.90]

The focus on repetition means while it's great for kids, adults are likely to lose interest. [Issue#79, p.83]

A sleeper hit if there ever was one. [Issue 26, p.94]

Just above average at best and has nothing you won't have seen before. [Issue#79, p.85]

F1 2015 absolutely nails the driving experience, with perfect controls and incredible physics. But the options are so limited, you're likely to get bored fast. Roll on 2016. [Issue#127, p.81]

Made with the hardcore in mind. [Issue#79, p.86]

Attempts to open up Viva Pinata kind of miss the point. Whether this is a failure in marketing or development is anyone’s guess, but adults will still have fun.

A good, if unspectacular, platform outing. [Issue#66, p.104]

Despite its simplicity, Tintin feels like it's telling you an engaging story. [Issue#79, p.87]

Bizarre, bonkers but not quite brilliant. [Issue#74, p.78]

Not a game to be played for hours on end, Tower of Guns is still a fun and rewarding shooter, albeit one that takes a little time to really appreciate. [Issue#125, p.84]

A very solid performance. [Issue#88, p.78]

Although fun, it'll only keep you entertained for infinity if you're happy to watch Mr Incredible beat up Aladdin guards for all eternity. [Issue#103, p.84]

One simple tweak solves a few years of hurt, though trademark trouble areas still exist. [Issue#61, p.94]

The design flaws that held DMC4 back on release frustrate even more today, and even a raft of new content can't boost this to SSS status. [Issue#127, p.86]

Reasonably deep and enjoyable for fans, but it’s no looker. Not as accomplished as Lost Odyssey. Or Eternal Sonata. But fun... if you like that sort of thing.

The humour is as good as anything you'll see on their website. [Issue#35, p.115]

With its unique art style, eclectic characters and accessible gameplay it's an easy and fun little way to get back into beat-'em-ups. [Issue#43, p.99]

Metal Gear Online is fun in small doses as a back to basics approach to online shooters, though a lack of content will undoubtedly upset and annoy some.

It feels like the current gen is holding it back from greatness. [Issue#103, p.87]

Only the most talented see the credits first time around. [Issue#59, p.104]

Boasts a wider appeal than Band Hero but falters on the length of its challenge. [Issue#54, p.90]

Another fun installment, but it's all starting to feel a little too predictable. [Issue#88, p.82]

Band Hero will tick every box for the audience it's intended for. [Issue#54, p.91]

In terms of gameplay, this is verging on the depressingly average. [Issue#58, p.88]

Does what it sets out to do well and is an accessible game that budding strategiests will be able to comfortably jump into with both feet. [Issue#31, p.117]

The game itself is fine but the issue is the pricing. [Issue 14, p.116]

A violent blast to play, but it could do with a little punctuation to break up the insanity. [Issue#72, p.100]

An enjoyable, if unremarkable, throwback. [Issue#74, p.80]

Captures some of the brilliance of its setting, but fails to take advantage of it with gameplay, which is a real shame. [Issue#88, p.84]

Saved somewhat by its excellent puzzles and incessant inventiveness. [Issue#88, p.86]

Feels like more of the same. [Issue#79, p.89]

Majestic boss battles are marred by ill-suited (and occasionally unfair) controls. If you like your boss battles epic, this is for you, otherwise, "Gears of War" should be your next port of call. [Issue 15, p.78]

Misunderstood. [Issue#48, p.98]

Trippy plot. [Issue#60, p.107]

It's a test of endurance. [Issue#47, p.101]

A charming little game. [Issue#79, p.100]

Better than the vast majority of Live Arcade's retro efforts. [Issue#44, p.99]

Uninspired and sorely lacking invention. [Issue#70, p.78]

Solid, but the story never grips you like was hoped, and before you know it the end credits are rolling. [Issue#70, p.83]

A range of free workouts, respected trainers and the instant feedback from the Kinect makes this an impressive all-round fitness programme.

Definitely one of the best Lego games yet. [Issue#54, p.88]

It'll never hit a home run, but it does an all right job of passing the time between better games. [Issue#74, p.85]

Easily the best take on Worms in 3D yet. [Issue#79, p.103]

At long last, a Live Arcade release that is actually a videogame rather than some stupid parlour game your granny wouldn't swap her pen and newspaper for. [Issue#43, p.115]

You'll need a room as big as a rock venue. [Issue#74, p.86]

Definitely fun for the whole family.

An oddity with rare charm. [Issue#70, p.87]

It's good fun. [Issue#74, p.87]

This actually proves pretty deep. [Issue#36, p.114]

In short bursts it's about as fun as games can possibly get. [Issue#74, p.88]

Well-adapted to consoles and a lot of fun, Supreme Commander's technical shabbiness and overly nostalgic design are defined by the endearing accessibility of its old school strategy play. [Issue#59, p.97]

It's one original offering. [Issue#74, p.100]

The racing itself is decent, if not quite as exciting as you'd hope, and while it ticks all the boxes, the overall production still feels a little threadbare. [Issue#65, p.91]

More addictive than it probably should be. [Issue#70, p.101]

A little throwaway, but pleasant and good intentioned. [Issue#56, p.104]

Ultimately feels stale. [Issue#47, p.84]

Harder than Geoff Capes and Superman combined, making this an excellent value grind for people of a certain mind. [Issue#70, p.102]

Beset with technical flaws and with ideas slightly above its station, Need For Speed: Undercover is nonetheless loveable and at times thoroughly enjoyable. If you squint.

Hard not to love. [Issue#74, p.103]

Monolith has managed to introduce a relatively difficult genre to consoles, only to fall at the simplest of hurdles. [Issue#94, p.79]

Entertaining, amusing, enjoyable but ultimately shallow, MK Vs DC is brilliant in short bursts but won’t ever take up more than an hour of your time. We bet you find yourself coming back in the long run, though.
