    Dark Souls' world is dense with something new around every corner. [Issue#78, p.76]

    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    About as close to the pinnacle of the racing simulation genre as you could reasonable expect to get. [Issue#78, p.72]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Technically the best game in the series so far, but not as refreshing as Saints Row 2 due to a slight shortage of new ideas. Remains a fun alternative to GTA, though. [Issue#78, p.67]

    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This is clearly for fans of the television creation. [Issue#77, p.103]

    The game we always knew it wanted to be. [Issue#77, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Not quite as outstanding as it once was, but still a benchmark release. [Issue#77, p.102]

    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's just so uninspired in so many ways. [Issue#77, p.101]

    If you love fighting games, you must get it. [Issue#77, p.100]

    It's quickly frustrating. [Issue#77, p.91]

    A frustrating affair. [Issue#77, p.91]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Some control and physics tweaks are needed, but to remedy distractions rather than critical errors. [Issue#77, p.90]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The best Dead Rising game do date, but its core gameplay remains much the same. [Issue#77, p.89]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Caught somewhere between being a score attack shooter and one that tries to tell a story, Bodycount is left wandering the middle ground aimlessly. [Issue#77, p.88]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Unfortunately marred by some poorly designed mechanics, gameplay choices and a chunky feel. [Issue#77, p.87]

    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    What F1 2011 really needs is some drama and a touch of glamour. [Issue#77, p.86]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The simple act of controlling your player is fraught with issues. [Issue#77, p.85]

    • 90 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The major additions show real promise, but right now they're doing more harm than good. [Issue#77, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    While its other elements hep create atmosphere, they aren't as polished as its peerless gunplay. [Issue#77, p.82]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Right now, it doesn't get any better. [Issue#77, p.78]

    That isn't to say that ITSP isn't brilliantly designed or fun, but it eventually suffers from lacking an incentive to tackle its puzzles. [Issue#76, p.103]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    As a handheld game, Fruit Ninja worked fine, but as a 360 title it's a briefly fun but very shallow affair that will leave most hungry for something more. [Issue#76, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Solid, and even better when enjoyed with company. [Issue#76, p.102]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Couldn't feel much more dated if it tried. [Issue#76, p.102]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A classic example of a developer polishing a great idea until it's virtually gleaming. Go get it now. [Issue#76, p.101]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The way the levels unfold, literally paving the way out before your feet, removes any sense of exploration. [Issue#76, p.100]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Anyone with a passing interest will find a lot to like. [Issue#76, p.90]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Not the return to glories we were hoping for, but not quite a total disaster either. It's a by-the-numbers open-world racer with a few cursory nods to the franchise's history, and that's about it. [Issue#76, p.88]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Gorgeous, enjoyable and absolutely nutty, El Shaddai is full of ideas. However, it doesn't put them all to good use, and its beautiful world is merely a facade to dress up the repetitive combat. [Issue#76, p.86]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 89 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Atmospheric, mature, detailed, classy and intriguing, but let down sorely by short-sighted design and sloppy mechanics, the worst of which is the feeble AI. [Issue#76, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A mix of highs and lows that shows flashes of brilliance but needs more variety, more polish and a genuinely open game world. [Issue#76, p.82]
