    A solid success story for Realtime Worlds. Crackdown initially offers all kinds of wonders, but skim off the top and it becomes a teaser of what could've been or is possible. [Issue 17, p.85]

    The fighting is surprisingly fun and insanely deep - this is not a game to be taken lightly. [Issue#49, p.103]

    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fresh take on one of the 360's most established genres, bringing cover shooters, conversely, out in the open. [Issue#64, p.72]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fans of old King's Quest games will find much to enjoy, and several new additions make this new installment feel fresh and engaging. [Issue#128, p.77]

    Most of Fracture’s bad points are overshadowed by how much fun changing the terrain can be. Masses of action, huge explosions and a competent shooter with a fantastic gimmick.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Gameplay has a wicked flow to it. [Issue#91, p.90]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 95 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fantastic stealth action game that offers an insane amount of ways to play, just don't expect it to feel like your typical Metal Gear experience.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Easily the finest platformer on the console (up there with Mirror's Edge) and a touch of genius in its own right. [Issue#59, p.90]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A brilliant adventure, platform and puzzle game. [Issue#95, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Along with the redefined tag team matches, Road To Wrestlemania and create-a-finisher, the multiple tweaks and touches make this the best SmackDown for a while.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One to heartily recommend. [Issue#54, p.104]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Crazy acting, crazy units and a crazy story but the gameplay is solid and the visuals are highly stylised. A great edition to the Red Alert series.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's cheaper than an actual Starter pack. [Issue#49, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As pure fan service, it hits all the right notes. [Issue#64, p.88]

    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A bit more imagination would have been preferable, but you're more than getting your money's worth. [Issue#80, p.85]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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]

    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 76 Metascore

    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]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A step back for Neversoft. [Issue#64, p.91]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 85 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
