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]

The positive score is fully justified. [Issue#57, p.107]

Lovingly crafted, musical, involving, delightful, beautiful, addictive and crammed with anime cheese. [Issue#25, p.92]

To complain about Mega Man's difficulty is to miss the point. [Issue#59, p.105]

The Evil Within is less genre-defining and is instead more of a spiritual successor - one that relives past glories rather than seeks out new ones. [Issue#118, p.73]

It should have been released months before "Soulcalibur IV" comes out, not the Wednesday before. [Issue#35, p.114]

As good as some of the games in this package are, these golden memories come with a price tag to match.

Definitely better teamed with friends. [Issue#90, p.91]

It's what the original always should have been. [Issue#87, p.84]

Don't expect the same longevity from Monday Night Combat as you would a game in a similar vein from Valve or Epic. [Issue#63, p.103]

Astro Boy on the GBA might be better, actually. [Issue#48, p.99]

A great combination of genres that manages to really tax your brain, be great fun and work as a competitive and addictive multiplayer game. Not so great for solo players, though. [Issue#83, p.104]

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]

High Moon has put its soul into this one, and it shows. [Issue#90, p.70]

While many fans will already have BlazBlue, Extend ties together all of the DLC, tweaks and modes that make it the definitive way to enjoy this superb series. [Issue#83, p.89]

Fantasy genocide has never been such fun. [Issue#79, p.102]

Fantastic stuff. [Issue#48, p.99]

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

The sharp thrill of a successful synchronised takedown never loses its edge. [Issue#86, p.76]

Gripes about PES prove a modern-day "Princess and the Pea" story. The general excellence of the game's simulation serves to unduly highlight one measly kilobite of pure devil's armpit. [Issue 13, p.96]

As long as you're a fan of the RTS format, it's hard to fault Battle for Middle-Earth II on anything other than the controls. We think most will adapt soon enough, though. [Issue 9, p.84]

A videogame that, though potentially excellent, doesn't have much reason to exist, and scuppers itself time and again through silly design decisions. [Issue#64, p.84]

Resoundingly okay. [Issue#23, p.97]

Simple, compelling and really hard to put down. [Issue#100, p.87]

As fun as ever. [Issue#79, p.77]

The level of customisation, freedom of choice and unending list of things to do makes this one of the most worthy and substantial sequels ever created. [Issue#81, p.79]

Pretty, engaging, funny, utterly inoffensive. [Issue#61, p.93]

There’s a lot to love in Mirror’s Edge, times when it reaches potential game of the year material, times when mind, body and control come together to create something almost euphoric on screen. But when that transcendence is shattered by a poorly designed combat section or a moment of utter confusion, it leaves a bitter taste. Kudos, then, for EA’s commitment to new IP, but it’s one that ironically, leaves us wanting a sequel.
