    • 70 Critic Score
    Bizarre, bonkers but not quite brilliant. [Issue#74, p.78]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Carving a path through the madness is far harder than it needs to be. [Issue#73, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An oddity, but not one that will be to everyone's tastes. [Issue#73, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A damn good tactical strategic game that has a ridiculous amount of depth for an XLA title. [Issue#73, p.102]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The premise transfers comfortably enough. [Issue#73, p.101]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 55 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Both a poor update and an unwieldy, near-cheating videogame overall. [Issue#73, p.101]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    One for the patient and curious. [Issue#73, p.100]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 38 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    This just isn't worth bothering with. [Issue#73, p.89]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A rather depressing waste of money. [Issue#73, p.88]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 52 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    More fun than being tortured and killed, but still not really much of an advertisement for 13th Century living. [Issue#73, p.87]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It offers a new angle on the genre and one that will excite fans. [Issue#73, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Utterly beautiful and reasonably creative. [Issue#73, p.82]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Believability, challenge, intensity and fun - DiRT 3 has the lot. [Issue#73, p.80]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    At points beautiful, depressing, enthralling and utterly dull. [Issue#73, p.78]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 51 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Unresponsive and inaccurate. [Issue#72, p.101]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The main problem is the fact that there's just not much to it. A complete lack of depth means after just an hour or two of play, you'll be done with it. [Issue#72, p.101]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A violent blast to play, but it could do with a little punctuation to break up the insanity. [Issue#72, p.100]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Very obviously inferior to the competition in every way. [Issue#72, p.88]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A far from fitting tribute to one of the most talented entertainers ever to walk the earth, or indeed the moon. But you won't get these awesome tunes anywhere else. [Issue#72, p.87]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A classic formula tweaked for greater tactical variety. By and large successful, besides a needed AI tweak or two. [Issue#72, p.86]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Way better than the original game, this offers some more than solid online FPS action. [Issue#72, p.85]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Another faithful, funny play on a popular movie license, marred by persistent problems that, for some years now, Traveller's Tales hasn't remedied. And it probably won't happen at this point. [Issue#72, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    We sincerely hope that real-life military operations aren't as embarrassingly shambolic as this. [Issue#72, p.82]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Borderline broken as a fighter, but, taken on its own meagre merits, a giggle to mess around with. Still, though, it falls a long way short of what could have been. [Issue#72, p.80]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 95 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    A truly spectacular sequel that reaches previously unthinkable heights. Portal 2 is an experience to be cherished and already a strong contender for the best game of 2011. [Issue#72, p.78]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    We wanted to start it again as soon as we'd finished it, which should tell you a lot about L.A. Noire's quality. In the ways that matter it's genuinely excellent. [Issue#72, p.74]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A contradictory videogame premise that screams frustration from its opening stage, and continues in that vein thereafter. [Issue#71, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Clunky combat makes this visually appealing role-playing outing one for a rainy day only. When it's raining dragon spit, obviously. [Issue#71, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Too few varieties of enemy are included, sporting little variance of attack approach, to entertain anything other than your base reflexes. [Issue#71, p.102]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 39 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A videogame that thrills almost not at all that also happens to represent atrocious value. [Issue#71, p.102]
