    A decent collection with a few standout games. [Issue#85, p.93]

    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A cynical package that doesn't do the Star Wars franchise any justice whatsoever. [Issue#85, p.92]

    Fez
    Its hidden depths might be too obscure for some, but this is the kind of title XBLA was made for. [Issue#85, p.91]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The AI is horrible enough to make the stealth segments infuriating and the action areas unfair. [Issue#85, p.90]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Engrossing and rewarding. [Issue#85, p.88]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Has plenty of good ideas: it just fails to make any of them work properly. [Issue#85, p.86]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The repetition begins to grow old a few hours before the game reaches its conclusion. [Issue#85, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fighting with an awkward camera system certainly feels a lot more noticeable today than it did back in 2003. [Issue#84, p.105]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    These robots could sure use a little extra life injected into them. [Issue#84, p.104]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 52 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Probably not the worst tower defence game anywhere ever, but certainly the worst we recall playing on Live Arcade. [Issue#84, p.104]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Great value, incredibly addictive and fun no matter what your skill level, Trials Evolution deserves to be another multimillion seller for one of Live Arcade's flagship names. [Issue#84, p.102]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 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
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Essentially Dynasty Warriors 7 with more stuff. [Issue#84, p.89]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a comprehensive celebration of Naruto in which fans will delight. [Issue#84, p.88]

    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Motocross has so much more to offer than this dire racer. [Issue#84, p.87]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It just isn't particularly good. [Issue#84, p.86]

    None of it feels much like Resident Evil. [Issue#84, p.85]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    As an old-school shooter, Earth Defense Force has much more fun to offer. [Issue#84, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Beware the temperamental difficulty. [Issue#84, p.83]

    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    DMC and DMC3 have stood the test of time. The real surprise is just how poor Devil May Cry 2 seems now that it can be directly compared. [Issue#84, p.82]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Unbounded has got something recent Ridge Racer games have lost sight of: a sense of unbridled, anarchic fun. [Issue#84, p.80]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A sterling effort that is sure to please fans of the series. A juicy challenge that's only likely to be ruined by the ability to go online and find all its solutions. [Issue#84, p.78]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The biggest problem is that there really isn't anything you haven't seen before. [Issue#83, p.105]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great combination of genres that manages to really tax your brain, be great fun and work as a competitive and addictive multiplayer game. Not so great for solo players, though. [Issue#83, p.104]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    What's really impressive is how well this little world, its narrative and your powers seem to organically come together. [Issue#83, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Another gem on XBLA. [Issue#83, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It isn't quite as polished or diverse as it should be. [Issue#83, p.102]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The fighting and climbing become exercises in frustration, and there isn't enough depth here. [Issue#83, p.100]
