Carving a path through the madness is far harder than it needs to be. [Issue#73, p.103]

An oddity, but not one that will be to everyone's tastes. [Issue#73, p.103]

A damn good tactical strategic game that has a ridiculous amount of depth for an XLA title. [Issue#73, p.102]

The premise transfers comfortably enough. [Issue#73, p.101]

Both a poor update and an unwieldy, near-cheating videogame overall. [Issue#73, p.101]

One for the patient and curious. [Issue#73, p.100]

This just isn't worth bothering with. [Issue#73, p.89]

A rather depressing waste of money. [Issue#73, p.88]

More fun than being tortured and killed, but still not really much of an advertisement for 13th Century living. [Issue#73, p.87]

It offers a new angle on the genre and one that will excite fans. [Issue#73, p.84]

Utterly beautiful and reasonably creative. [Issue#73, p.82]

Believability, challenge, intensity and fun - DiRT 3 has the lot. [Issue#73, p.80]

At points beautiful, depressing, enthralling and utterly dull. [Issue#73, p.78]

Unresponsive and inaccurate. [Issue#72, p.101]

The main problem is the fact that there's just not much to it. A complete lack of depth means after just an hour or two of play, you'll be done with it. [Issue#72, p.101]

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

Very obviously inferior to the competition in every way. [Issue#72, p.88]

A far from fitting tribute to one of the most talented entertainers ever to walk the earth, or indeed the moon. But you won't get these awesome tunes anywhere else. [Issue#72, p.87]

A classic formula tweaked for greater tactical variety. By and large successful, besides a needed AI tweak or two. [Issue#72, p.86]

Way better than the original game, this offers some more than solid online FPS action. [Issue#72, p.85]

Another faithful, funny play on a popular movie license, marred by persistent problems that, for some years now, Traveller's Tales hasn't remedied. And it probably won't happen at this point. [Issue#72, p.84]

We sincerely hope that real-life military operations aren't as embarrassingly shambolic as this. [Issue#72, p.82]

Borderline broken as a fighter, but, taken on its own meagre merits, a giggle to mess around with. Still, though, it falls a long way short of what could have been. [Issue#72, p.80]

A truly spectacular sequel that reaches previously unthinkable heights. Portal 2 is an experience to be cherished and already a strong contender for the best game of 2011. [Issue#72, p.78]

We wanted to start it again as soon as we'd finished it, which should tell you a lot about L.A. Noire's quality. In the ways that matter it's genuinely excellent. [Issue#72, p.74]

A contradictory videogame premise that screams frustration from its opening stage, and continues in that vein thereafter. [Issue#71, p.103]

Clunky combat makes this visually appealing role-playing outing one for a rainy day only. When it's raining dragon spit, obviously. [Issue#71, p.103]

Too few varieties of enemy are included, sporting little variance of attack approach, to entertain anything other than your base reflexes. [Issue#71, p.102]

A videogame that thrills almost not at all that also happens to represent atrocious value. [Issue#71, p.102]

A bit boring to play online. [Issue#71, p.101]

Ill-suited to the 360 platform and massively overpriced. [Issue#71, p.101]

Not exactly ambitious, but it is expertly made, brilliant fun to play and absolutely fantastic value. [Issue#71, p.100]

If you have any of the recent versions, there's no reason for you to upgrade here. [Issue#71, p.86]

A wildly ambitious kids' title whose signposting marginally can't keep up. More of this but clearer, please! [Issue#71, p.84]

Won't win the series any new fans but should restore some faith in existing ones alarmed by the regrettable, to say the least, direction it went in the last time out. [Issue#71, p.83]

A great concept with plenty of content that will have you and your friends in stitches while it lasts, but the technology is a bit ropey and the initial charm wears off pretty quickly. [Issue#71, p.82]

Like playing through a slideshow of a friend's apocalyptic holiday snaps: beautiful at first, but you'll be tired of it by the end. [Issue#71, p.80]

EA Tiburon may collect a handful of inexperienced fans with this release, but it'll lose a whole lot more from the other end of the scale. [Issue#71, p.78]

In need of stronger incentives for those who play alone. [Issue#71, p.76]

A truly baffling headline gimmick causes obvious problems for the game, but even if you can get your head around that, notably odd physics routines are the true enemy here. [Issue#71, p.74]

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

A magnificent gameplay concept. [Issue#70, p.102]

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

We guarantee that you'll be bored with what this has to offer after a couple of hours. [Issue#70, p.101]

The boredom of playing as this droid isn't helped by the drab nature of the game's design. [Issue#70, p.100]

At the current price, this is a horrendous deal. [Issue#70, p.92]

Trust us - you'll know when you've been Rango'd. [Issue#70, p.91]

Maturity be damned! We'll make no excuses for Bulletstorm - it's great precisely because it's fun on such a base level. [Issue#70, p.88]

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

Fully fledged and extensive, this is a great tennis simulator that becomes much more enjoyable once you get past the initial frustrations. [Issue#70, p.86]

The 'big' new mode is pointless and instantly forgettable, but the rest of the game is as solid and cocksure as ever. [Issue#70, p.84]

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

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

An undeniable classic - and, for once, one not showing the ravages of age. If only the letters "H" and "D" signified something more than numbers. [Issue#69, p.102]

Perfectly competent from a mechanical point of view, yet somewhat lacking in appeal over the long term. [Issue#69, p.101]

Cutesy looks mask a videogame of near malicious difficulty, though it still proves to be endlessly entertaining for those with the patience. [Issue#69, p.100]

We'd love to see a sequel that builds on the cool mechanics that the game already boasts. [Issue#69, p.99]

Funny, addictive and engaging. [Issue#69, p.98]

A short and throwaway campaign, held together with repetitive combat, Mindjack is, just another by-the-numbers shooter to add on top of the pile. [Issue#69, p.89]

One for devoted aficionados of "bullet hell" only. [Issue#69, p.88]

Feels rewarding. [Issue#69, p.87]

Not nearly brave or daring enough, though. [Issue#69, p.86]

Ultimately, though, there's just not enough to do. [Issue#69, p.85]

Frustration and grind are the most prominent attributes. [Issue#69, p.84]

There are a lot of reasons why TDU2 will appeal, but unfortunately most of them are underdeveloped or just boring. [Issue#69, p.82]

No challenge. [Issue#68, p.103]

If you don't intend to play online, don't even bother. [Issue#68, p.102]

Ultimately fairly soulless. [Issue#68, p.101]

Although matters are predictably brief, control proves as accurate as it is satisfying. [Issue#68, p.101]

A few glaring flaws stop this well-designed, sociable title achieving perfection, but it should still be picked up by everyone. [Issue#68, p.100]

What should be exhilarating, fast-paced and exciting turns out to be boring, samey and unbalanced to the point of being broken. [Issue#68, p.89]

It all boils down to how fussy you are about technical shortcomings, really. [Issue#68, p.84]

The perfect antidote to Street Fighter's seemingly endless difficulty curve, offering tactical play by the bucketload without that prohibitive dexterity. [Issue#68, p.82]

Not a revolutionary sequel, but still one that improves and enhances the formula in countless ways, only a small few of which prove slightly misguided. [Issue#68, p.76]

Perfectly acceptable old-school role playing, if at the second attempt. [Issue#66, p.92]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

It's actually quite enjoyable at points. It just feels short and, ultimately, a bit pointless. [Issue#67, p.105]

Do yourself a favor and get Costume Quest instead. [Issue#67, p.105]

It can be quite exciting to assemble a new costume and get to grips with its special abilities. [Issue#67, p.104]

The eight-angle camera system serves only to confuse players with depressing regularity. [Issue#67, p.103]

The underlying game has aged brilliantly. [Issue#67, p.103]

A pleasantly relaxing evening's worth of entertainment. [Issue#67, p.102]

Rather dull and lifeless. [Issue#67, p.101]

This core mechanic proves sound. [Issue#67, p.101]

Quite simply another brilliant title in concept and design. [Issue#67, p.100]

The only fitness title out there that will both slim you down and manager to raise a smile or two. [Issue#67, p.91]

There isn't a single mini-game here that won't seem anachronistic three months from now. [Issue#67, p.90]

A hugely accessible and addictive game for anyone. [Issue#67, p.89]

Bearing in mind that this isn't a game as we know them, EA Sports Active is surprisingly good fun. [Issue#67, p.89]

A messy control system. [Issue#67, p.88]

An uneven mix of satisfying fan service and borderline broken gameplay. [Issue#67, p.88]

Those looking to play solo should probably look elsewhere. [Issue#67, p.87]

It's simply lacking in every single respect. Not good. [Issue#67, p.86]

An annoying platform/adventure hybrid that fails to utilise its fictional universe effectively. [Issue#67, p.84]

Perfectly acceptable old-school role playing, if at the second attempt. [Issue#66, p.92]

It's still got a long way to go, but Shred is a step in the right direction. [Issue#66, p.91]

The Second Encounter is by far the most frenetic first-person game we've played in a while. [Issue#66, p.102]

Offers a smaller and less entertaining variety of workout than its fellow Kinect fitness titles. [Issue#66, p.93]
