    It's not perfect, but PES 2015 is bloody good fun. [Issue#118, p.62]

    Still enjoyable after all these years, the new content of Ultra helps revitalise Street Fighter IV and will no doubt keep it going for a good while to come. [Issue#113, p.81]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An accomplished shooter that just fails to capitalise on the groundwork of its predecessor and offers a shallow and stilted campaign that feels, unfortunately, a bit dated. [Issue#57, p.92]

    Arguably the best episode of this season so far. [Issue#113, p.86]

    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]

    Cry Wolf isn't without its problems, but it provides a satisfying conclusion to an episodic series that we feared would wrap inconclusively. [Issue#115, p.76]

    Condemned 2 takes every weakness from the original and desperately attempts to eradicte it. It can become difficult to take, but persevere. It's worth it. [Apr 2008, p.76]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It packs a lot into its short playtime but still manages to pack an emotional wallop. With intriguing puzzles and solid gameplay, Starbreeze earns every moment. [Issue#100, p.84]
    • 86 Metascore

    One of the best fighters around. [Issue#56, p.86]

    It's the same game as FlatOut 2 with a graphic makeover and a generous pinch of "So what? We're not pretending it's different. This is still fun to play." [Issue #22, p.78]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Simple, compelling and really hard to put down. [Issue#100, p.87]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Smart advances on pitch make the game skillful and extremely rewarding. It's just a shame that a few small niggles haven't been fixed from last year. [Issue#104, p.76]

    For fans of F1 both casual and hardcore this is still well worthy of your attention. [Issue#104, p.79]

    This adventure doesn't do as good a job of pointing you in the right direction as the original, but all the same, it's a thoroughly entertaining action RPG... [Issue#66, p.103]

    • 87 Metascore

    The improvements all help make it a much better learning tool. [Issue#104, p.80]

    Everyone loves karaoke. [Issue#104, p.81]

    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.

    The real problem lies with RE5's focus. Played with two people it's a delight, showing the world that co-op in campaign modes is becoming a necessity in any game that can incorporate it. Even played on the same console, with the most hideous splitting of the screen we've ever seen, it works. Unfortunately, a vast array of individuals will play this as a lone wolf and, to be honest, done this way it can be aggravating. Sheva is simply not competent enough, and her irregular bouts of hopelessness transform a sublime portion into a testing run. [Issue#43, p.76]

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

    A festival of both passing and movement, which is probably appreciated best by fans of the series. Pro Evo just - and we mean just - manages to trump "FIFA." [Issue 26, p.80]

    This is the Fable we know and love, which is its biggest strength and weakness. [Issue#66, p.80]

    It's more of the same, which is both the strength and weakness of Shivering Isles. [Issue 19, p.82]

    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Solid, addictive and astonishing to behold, Split/Second: Velocity is a shot in the arm for the arcade racer. It's just a shame that you're left chasing the high after the first dose. [Issue#59, p.80]

    Some will take issue with Dead Space 3 on a fundamental level, given that it shirks many classical survival-horror tenets to pursue and action-heavy path. But when the action is generally so good, it's hard to stay crazy with Visceral for long. [Issue#95, p.73]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you don't intend to play online, don't even bother. [Issue#68, p.102]

    Tactic fiends may fiend it slightly lacking; everyone else will go bonkers. [Issue#20, p.86]

    A very slick dance floor mover. [Issue#91, p.76]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    What FEAR 3 lacks as a horror game it makes up for as a solid shooter. [Issue#75, p.80]
