    Well-adapted to consoles and a lot of fun, Supreme Commander's technical shabbiness and overly nostalgic design are defined by the endearing accessibility of its old school strategy play. [Issue#59, p.97]

    This is more of the score attack goodness that Cave does best. [Issue#86, p.86]

    In just over a year, the Grid series has turned it around. Autosport doesn’t do anything particularly new, but it will remind fans why they love the Grid series.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There's really no excuse to see frame rate issues spoil what is very nearly a perfect conversion, but it's a price worth paying to see Jehuty fly again.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Payday 2's unique brand of co-op mayhem cannot be missed, but for this price and when learning how to pull off a perfect heist is just so much fun. [Issue#102, p.81]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's a slick, mechanically sound, and lavishly produced shooter that uses beauty to try and mask the potentially great but uninspired gameplay inside. [Issue#117, p.62]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Harder than Geoff Capes and Superman combined, making this an excellent value grind for people of a certain mind. [Issue#70, p.102]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An accessible platformer that bears more relation to Lemmings and Katamari than it does Mario. [Issue#43, p.114]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Funny, addictive and engaging. [Issue#69, p.98]

    Enough is enough and it's time for a change. [Issue#65, p.85]

    It's cheaper than an actual Starter pack. [Issue#49, p.103]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Terribly average as a single-player campaign when compared with the high standards set recently by other, better games. [Apr 2008, p.82]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's the Ultimate edition you didn't ask for, but still good fun. [Issue#104, p.82]
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fun and frantic throwback to the days when dirty tactics, outlandish manoeuvres and sheet aggression were the brutal, mangled order of the day. [Issue#86, p.84]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Easily the best children's title of the year. [Issue#36, p.7]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An initially tidy-looking little puzzler spoilt by the very nature of what it actually depicts. [Issue 27, p.116]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A blend of Resident Evil old and new, Revelations 2 does itself, and the franchise, justice falling a little short simply due to a couple of poor episodes. [Issue#123, p.77]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Gorgeous, enjoyable and absolutely nutty, El Shaddai is full of ideas. However, it doesn't put them all to good use, and its beautiful world is merely a facade to dress up the repetitive combat. [Issue#76, p.86]

    • 70 Critic Score
    For a single designer, though, a cracking effort. [Issue#40]

    Simply for fans of the band only. [Issue#61, p.92]

    An arcade classic. [Issue#23, p.96]

    It’s a tenner cheaper than C&C 3 (good on yer EA) on account of the fact that it didn’t cost as much to make, being an extension of the first game. If you liked C&C 3, Kane’s Wrath comes highly recommended.
    • 75 Metascore

    This game is so rammed full of air-punching testosterone and screen-shaking explosions we're surprised it wasn't developed by Sylvester Stallone. [Issue#34, p.117]

    Only those who'll pick up on its knowing secret collection voiceover need apply. [Issue#63, p.101]

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

    Will never be in anyone’s top ten list but Wolverine offers a tremendous amount of fun while keeping the balance with depth and a decent challenge. Another surprise in 2009.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A hugely accessible and addictive game for anyone. [Issue#67, p.89]

    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Evolve delivers small doses of excellence, but the entire experience is rarely exciting. The big-boss battles are stressfully manic in the best possible way, it’s just a shame that the rest of the game is so boring.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Suitably frantic. [Issue#49, p.103]

    The story here has been sublime throughout, but as a game The Wolf Among Us still feels remote. [Issue#114, p.84]
