A deep, involving and beautifully put together adventure. [Issue#63, p.99]

A worthy continuation of a superb series that is unfortunately over way too quickly. When a game is this great you simply don't want it to finish. [Issue 13, p.82]

A top pinball game to play with friends, but on your own it can get boring. [Issue#116, p.80]

Refines its engine to the most impressive degree. [Issue#50, p.92]

It may not be quite the epic finale everyone hoped for, but Arkham Knight is still an excellent action game that retains many of the elements that make the series great.

It's a sublime alternative to Street Fighter and worth investing in even if you've got the original. [Issue#65, p.90]

The gameplay you’ve come to know and love is better than it ever has been and the new additions are downright fantastic. Another step up for the now veteran franchise.

Pure takes racing all the way back to basics and emphasizes fun over complexity yet still incorporates enough depth to have some serious longevity. Excellent stuff. [Issue#37, p.86]

The really great thing, however, is the character creation mode. Honestly, it’s brilliant, and about as close to a real character creation as we’ve ever seen.

Horizon sacrifices purity for spectacle, trades tuning depth for racing equality and shifts to an open road setting where once were trackside barriers and preset circuits, though none of this detracts from the glorious driving mechanics that Playground Games has superbly re-created under the watchful eye of Turn 10.

Another lovingly recreated LucasArts adventure. [Issue#62,p.100]

A competent if unspectacular return. Dragon Age: Inquisition offers an abundance of things to do but its pick ‘n’ mix approach undermines any wow factor.

The perfect antidote to Street Fighter's seemingly endless difficulty curve, offering tactical play by the bucketload without that prohibitive dexterity. [Issue#68, p.82]

The series is beginning to lose some of the charm of its youth. [Issue#51, p.82]

It's so enjoyable that we'd be hard pressed to recommend a better casual sports game for just about anyone. [Issue#79, p.103]

Dead Rising features arcade-quality gameplay wrapped around a classic movie theme and sprinkled with tons of extras. Worth buying an Xbox 360 for - everyone should play this game. [Issue # 11, p.72]

An incredible historical document, charting the rise and success of the Xbox's biggest franchises. Vital to any collection. [Issue#118, p.56]

A clear improvement over last year's effort. [Issue#24, p.83]

Finally, the great one is back - it looks cheap, but it plays exceptionally. [Issue#130, p.72]

The Behemoth's follow-up to Castle Crashers has been well worth the wait. [Issue#98, p.79]

The best Undisputed game to date, and arguably the best MMA simulation currently in existence. [Issue#82, p.84]

Cry Wolf isn't without its problems, but it provides a satisfying conclusion to an episodic series that we feared would wrap inconclusively. [Issue#115, p.76]

Red Faction: Guerrilla is a fantastic, laudably fun tech demo funneled into a rather awesome game. Undoubtedly this year's most gratifying and original title so far. [Issue#46, p.76]

An adrenaline-soaked blend of terror and action. If it wasn't for the fact that there's little between the PC and 360 versions, F.E.A.R. would no doubt have scored higher. [Issue 13, p.94]

A charming and often ingenious little game. [Issue #81, p.90]

It's the kind of old-school outing that will frustrate and satisfy in equal measure, above control issues proving the major reason behind such frustration. [Issue#38, p.115]

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.

COD: World At War is a battered warrior that more than earns its stripes. Leading the charge with a meatier and lengthier single-player campaign, Treyarch has won the battle in producing a true standout in the series.
