Bearing in mind that this isn't a game as we know them, EA Sports Active is surprisingly good fun. [Issue#67, p.89]

In many ways Irrational has combined the best elements of original BioShock and Infinite and returned us to a world we’ve been sorely missing.

Fable Anniversary has been given a great HD-coat of paint, but many of the mechanics feel too outdated by today’s standards to be satisfying.

Ninja Blade is fun, but it’s fun that wears thin very quickly and when it’s gone you’re left with a game that’s shallow, repetitive, and can quickly become annoying and frustrating.

Trust us - you'll know when you've been Rango'd. [Issue#70, p.91]

What really makes this game stand out is its b-boy stylings. [Issue#36, p.115]

While 08 offers greater accessibility to novices, we can’t help but feel it’s had a troubled development and ends up making little improvement.

Captures some of the brilliance of its setting, but fails to take advantage of it with gameplay, which is a real shame. [Issue#88, p.84]

It's not ready yet. [Issue#102, p.78]

In short bursts it's about as fun as games can possibly get. [Issue#74, p.88]

Feels haphazardly designed and inferior to Hot Pursuit in every way. [Issue#79, p.80]

Reasonably deep and enjoyable for fans, but it’s no looker. Not as accomplished as Lost Odyssey. Or Eternal Sonata. But fun... if you like that sort of thing.

The best motocross game in years. [Issue#110, p.76]

While it attempts to provide an accessible strategic space challenge, Planets Under Attack is sucked into a black hole instead. [Issue#93, p.86]

As an old-school shooter, Earth Defense Force has much more fun to offer. [Issue#84, p.84]

Playing it singularly, the computer AI works well in controlling the other ship, but this is best played with two easily amused people. [Issue#34, p.117]

A little too simplistic. [Issue#46, p.100]

Distinctly average, and aside from a few interesting online elements there's little to keep you coming back for more after your first few hours of gameplay. [Issue#104, p.84]

There's online co-op available too, but, unlike Sonic's outing, we feel it would be hard pushed to attract many beyond-nostalgia hunters. [Issue#24, p.100]

Will struggle to hold the attention of anyone that didn't hammer these games back in the day. [May 2013, p.88]

Feels like an uphill climb against the odds. [Issue#6, p.120]

At 400 points, we'd call it a steal, and online co-op is a very nice bonus. At 800, though, we're just not that fussed. [Issue#83, p.105]

These robots could sure use a little extra life injected into them. [Issue#84, p.104]

An oddity, but not one that will be to everyone's tastes. [Issue#73, p.103]

One for the patient and curious. [Issue#73, p.100]

The AI is horrible enough to make the stealth segments infuriating and the action areas unfair. [Issue#85, p.90]

Pretty dull. [Issue#60, p.107]

Nier is ambitious and delightfully crass but hits too many lows and dull points to climb higher than it has. Definitely worth a look if the more original side of gaming is your thing. [Issue#60, p.99]
