Second place in a two-horse race for Konami, due in part to the law of diminishing returns, and also to EA’s unexpected brilliance.

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

Sitting uncomfortably between at least three genres, yet saves the day with some epic set pieces and a little old-fashioned British wit. What ho! [Issue#47, p.78]

While a number of the mechanics will feel familiar, The Bridge still feels like a slick perception puzzler that fans of brain ticklers will no doubt warm to.

Definitely worth your time if your'e a boxing fan, but not quite the game to wrestle away "Fight Night's" crown. [Issue#35, p.96]

It's not among the best. [Issue#48, p.98]

Not perfect by any means, but solid enough that fans will find enjoyment here. [Issue#57, p.96]

Better as a historical document than a contemporary first-person shooter. [Issue#55, p.104]

The single-player game, while damn hard, is also fun. Shame it's just another Xbox port really [Issue#6, p.97]

For three quid, though, you could do a lot worse. [Issue#25, p.118]

A fast and entertaining take on the most exhilarating spy movies in decades. The Bourne Conspiracy eventually begins to slip into repetition, but you’ll be having far too much fun to care.

A game with such subtleties and fine detail as Civilization IV would never have worked on a console, and so while purists might carp at Revolution’s necessarily stripped-down feel, its injection of pace makes for a more exciting – if marginally less cerebral – strategy game. And more importantly, it’s still as life-suckingly addictive as ever. [Issue#34]

Wolfenstein is very deserving of its special place in the history of videogames, but that doesn't mean playing it again today isn't any fun. [Issue#48, p.99]

There are enough major improvements to the mechanics to appease your average pucker on the street, but fans of the series' casual roots will be left out in the cold. [Issue#90, p.79]

A dark and serious take on an otherwise oversaturated genre. [Issue#86, p.102]

A fresh and unique game, but with a steep challenge that some will find frustrating. But it does feature a giant arse monster. [Issue#82, p.92]

A good game, but a familiar game. [Issue#90, p.84]

Highly recommended for those new to the twin-stick shooter. [Issue#56, p.105]

Easily the best children's title of the year. [Issue#36, p.7]

It's got potential but it needs less linear gameplay. [Issue 14, p.89]

It feels a good deal more complete than you might initially expect. [Issue 18, p.82]

A fighting game for those who aren't into fighting games, offering plenty of shallow thrills and gorgeous visuals but little beyond that if you want to go deeper. [Issue#90, p.88]

The breaker system and surprisingly freeform combo mechanics offer some depth/longevity, plus it’s amusing enough for button-mashers too.

Kudos to Traveller’s Tales for mixing the formula up a touch. An enjoyable little romp that will delight both kids and the young at heart.

An entertaining game caught in the somewhat unusual position of having no absolutely satisfactory control method. [Issue 15, p.88]

If it were DLC at a reasonable price then this would be a great addition, but a few fun extra modes and a different list of teams don’t really justify this as it is.

Like tuna salad in the sun, Hybrid is decent while we write, but it's definitely a case of eat it now or eat it never. [Issue#89,p.83]

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