    Super Street Fighter IV
    SSF4 raises the series' game again and continues its quest to be crowned the greatest beat-'em-up of all time. And extremely worthy and credible update. [Issue#58, p.90]

    Dark Souls II
    Only for the bold, Dark Souls II delivers a fearsome challenge, while dispensing with the complexity that bogged down its predecessor. A true triumph of game design.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
    Not quite the technical masterpiece we hoped for, but the mild disappointment soon melts away. The Witcher 3 is a huge, engrossing time-sink of a game that you'll happily spend dozens of hours on. [Issue#125, p.74]

    Halo: Reach
    Epic beyond what we'd expect from a Halo game, typically well-polished and boasting impeccable shooter design. [Issue#64, p.80]

    • 91 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Mass Effect
    A game of such rare emotion that we became attached to our characters to the point of missing them now it's all over. [Issue 27, p.76]

    Forza Motorsport 4
    About as close to the pinnacle of the racing simulation genre as you could reasonable expect to get. [Issue#78, p.72]

    Gears of War 3

    Far Cry 3
    Far Cry 3 has strong, albeit a little forced, RPG elements. And during its better moments it feels more like Skyrim than it does a typical FPS.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Assassin's Creed II
    An ambitious, immersive experience that somehow manages to revolutionise every key flaw in its predecessor. [Issue#53, p.78]

    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Bayonetta
    Tough for the many but heaven for the few, Bayonetta soundly trumps the Devil May Cry franchise as the Xbox 360's prime hack-and-slash action game. We eagerly wait for more. [Issue#54, p.74]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 90 Metascore

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
    As visceral and genuinely 'on the edge' as they come. [Issue#5, p.86]

    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Trials Evolution
    Great value, incredibly addictive and fun no matter what your skill level, Trials Evolution deserves to be another multimillion seller for one of Live Arcade's flagship names. [Issue#84, p.102]

    Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned
    Lost and Damned is an absolute behemoth of an expansion, providing a fresh perspective on the same city and setting a devilishly high standard for DLC in the future.

    FIFA Soccer 12
    The major additions show real promise, but right now they're doing more harm than good. [Issue#77, p.84]

    FIFA Soccer 10
    The undoubted king of videogame football, but beginning to stagnate just a little. [Issue#51, p.80]

    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Portal: Still Alive
    It's easily the best puzzle game to come along in quite some time and arguably up there with some of the best we've seen within the world of videogames. [Issue#38, p.114]

    LIMBO
    A videogame as intelligent and self-referential as it is macabre. [Issue#63, p.100]

    Super Meat Boy
    A near-perfect mixture of frustration and joy, covering similar millimetre-accurate ground to N+, it's not entirely without problems. [Issue#66, p.105]

    Dead Space 2
    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]

    Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
    It would still be worth it even if it was just Metal Gear Solid on its own. [Issue #81, p.86]

    • 90 Metascore

    FIFA Soccer 13
    There's work to be done, unquestionably, but for the first time, FIFA feels like it's going to capture the essence of football along with the mechanics. [Issue#90, p.82]

    One of the most innovative and fun platformers of the generation. [Issue#102, p.82]

    Rez HD
    The simple creativity it showed in blending the player's virtual action into the fabric of each level's trance soundtrack was a breath of fresh air in a world where 'rhythm action' mean "PaRappa" or "Dancing Stage." [Issue#30, p.120]
