D4 has some problems, but it’s absolutely worth a play if you’re after a game unlike anything else on the Xbox One. Bloody crazy, but charming as well.

Preaches passionately, but very narrowly, to the converted. That Sacred 2 is so bland is both its biggest strength and its biggest weakness.

Not concerned with complex game design or elaborate plot, The Original Trilogy sets out to do one thing only - please gaming SW fans the world over, and it achieves this admirably. [Issue 12, p.90]

There are a lot of reasons why TDU2 will appeal, but unfortunately most of them are underdeveloped or just boring. [Issue#69, p.82]

When it's good, Black Ops shows the world that Treyarch is far more than just the B-team. [Issue#66, p.70]

Blue skies, great control and a real challenge - Transformed has all the hallmarks of one of the classic Sega games it brilliantly celebrates. Still, the less devoted may find it too playful for a hardcore racer, or too hardcore for a playful one. [Issue#93, p.81]

For the price of one personal training session, it's pretty good value. [Issue#93, p.83]

Distinctive. [Issue#52, p.105]

Feels rewarding. [Issue#69, p.87]

Unline its predecessor Ms. Pac-Man presents a decent challenge, everything plays at a far nippier pace. [Issue 17, p.116]

Just a superb blaster that will test your reflexes to the limit and make you realise that sometimes ancient arcade games can still be a lot of fun. [Issue#20, p.116]

If the setting, style and attitude win you over, the gammy mechanics are that much easier to bear. [Issue#54, p.78]

Far Cry 2 is a drawn-out yet ambitious FPS that doesn’t quite align its many ideas into an effective game, due to the confused nature of the open world. Nice atmosphere, though.

Viking does have a lot going for it. It's vast, fun and full of gore, there's just nothing outstanding enough to really write home about. [Issue#32, p.80]

While the campaign is a damn sight better than Battlefield 3's, it still falls a little flat in spots. [Issue#105, p.82]

In truth, we’re in distraction territory – beyond (admittedly quite a few) graphical changes, its only substantial addition will feel to football veterans like throw-in training might feel to, er, football veterans.

Strangely it’s not the voice recognition that limits EndWar but the RTS and tactical choices that are overlooked. The single-player is left wanting in favour of a strong multiplayer.

There's plenty of variety. [Issue#105, p.85]

Certainly not a bad game but this is very much a last-gen title, with a few bells and whistles tacked on. [Issue 13, p.92]

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

Its best elements are subdued by a repetitious structure. [Issue#118, p.52]

While poker doesn't give a great deal of room for manoeuvre, there's a lot of meat here for fans to chomp through. It's just a shame the marketplace version steals its thunder. [Issue # 16, p.96]

A bit of a mixed bag, liable to entertain but for reasons that you'll struggle in vain to fathom. [Issue#56, p.104]

Consistently entertaining but lacking in originality, Watch Dogs boasts a hugely promising concept but finds itself coasting along on the triumphs of others. You won’t be disappointed, but you won’t be surprised either.

It was always brilliant and now, in 2012, it's merely less so. [Issue#93, p.87]

Proves there's still some life in the old series yet. [Issue#122, p.70]

One of the best Spider-Man games yet. [Issue#40, p.101]

A great fighting game at its core. [Issue#122, p.80]
