    • 35 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Poorly designed, monotonous and, aside from the hilariously bad voice acting, utterly, utterly bland. [Issue#84, p.89]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 35 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A partner title without a fraction of the main series' spark. [Issue#66, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 35 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A disappointing shooter that has a few good ideas but can't implement them well enough to make it stand out from a very large crowd. [Issue#114, p.79]
    • 35 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    We can think of no reason for anyone to buy this. [Issue#74, p.101]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 34 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    For those who can look past the game’s flaws there are a few hours of mindless destruction and anal-probing to be had here, but only if you’ve exhausted every other game out there.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    We're hoping the online component's as good as we think it'll be, because between the ugly new look and the lack of any offline multiplayer, there's nothing here for offline gamers. [Issue 12, p.96]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 32 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A poor entry into a solid series that doesn't try to improve the experience or come up with any new ideas. Stick with the past and wait for the future. [Issue#119, p.85]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 32 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Basically, it's broken. [Issue#97, p.73]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 32 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Playing The Expendables 2 is like playing a port of Cannon Fodder coded by a dog while the entire population of America shouts at you. It's horrible. [Issue#90, p.87]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 31 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The idea of an FPS in the spirit of Counter-Strike is sound enough, but Rekoil needs to do a lot more than emulate this Valve classic to pull it off.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The core fighting system is designed well enough, but the Kinect control is lazily implemented and there's absolutely no variety to the fights. [Issue#66, p.93]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 30 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Shellshock 2 is one of the most poorly designed and unplayable games this generation. Not even its admittedly interesting premise can keep it from feeling unfinished and completely unnecessary.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Just another bemani game with horrible music that you're supposed to play with seven big buttons but instead you play it with wee buttons on the pad. [Issue#35]

    • 28 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It sucks! [Issue#37, p.116]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 28 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A criminal waste of development time. [Issue#55, p.93]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 25 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Terrible controls. [Issue#46, p.87]

    • 25 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    TMNT is sloppy, unresponsive and it looks shocking. [Issue#106, p.86]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 25 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    AMY
    Intense, riveting, terrifying and masterful are just a few of the words we wouldn't use to describe Amy. One of the worst games on Xbox Live Arcade. [Issue#82, p.102]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 25 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    At a whopping price, this is one game worth missing out on. [Issue#54, p.105]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 23 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    Boring when it works, frustrating when it doesn't, Fighter Within is one of the worst games you could ever have the displeasure of playing. [Issue#107, p.]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 17 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    A festering turd. [Issue#29, p.118]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It manages to capture that game show sheen remarkably accurately for a small game. [Issue#42, p.113]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Suffers from a variety of problems that will mean even racing fanatics and aficionados of the depicted sport itself will struggle to enjoy it. [Issue#57, p.97]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Just lets itself down by not pursuing the artistic angle enough. [Issue#80, p.87]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Offers little practical benefit beyond learning how to better perform within its own four virtual walls. [Issue#94, p.87]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Even Superman struggles to save this action RPG, which is dragged down by technical issues, uninspiring levels and graphics straight out of 2007. [Issue#109, p.78]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Combat stages expose some limitations, but the platforming action in DustForce is rock solid and will appeal to lovers of difficult games. [Issue#112, p.86]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's not perfect, but PES 2015 is bloody good fun. [Issue#118, p.62]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    An egregious rip off of a classic game, and one that manages to capture none of its class or drama. Even fans of the show will be disappointed. [Issue#118, p.87]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Novel, different and full of personality, Divekick will appeal to anyone who likes fun (which is all of you) but its quirkiness wears off a little too soon. [Issue#120, p.78]
