Highly addictive. [Issue#114, p.83]

It is at least mercifully short. [Issue#114, p.82]

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]

Fun, frantic and an absolute joy to play through. [Issue#114, p.76]

If you live for the glory of the kill, Sniper Elite III is the game for you, just don't expect it to be routinely enjoyable. It can get a bit heavy. [Issue#114, p.72]

A valiant first effort, EA Sports UFC could be the start of something great. For now, it is merely a good try, but one that is still a lot of fun. [Issue#114, p.68]

The game’s fun for a while, but quickly loses any sense of direction. As such, it provides little more than a cursory distraction for all but the most obsessive high-score chasers.

A chilling and well-realised experience, Outlast accomplishes almost everything it sets out to do. A strong start for the team and a strong entry in this resurgent genre.

Arguably the best episode of this season so far. [Issue#113, p.86]

Still enjoyable after all these years, the new content of Ultra helps revitalise Street Fighter IV and will no doubt keep it going for a good while to come. [Issue#113, p.81]

Often more engaging than its simple puzzles should allow it to be, the presentation and variety of gameplay ideas go a long way to making this an impressive, if small, adventure.

In just over a year, the Grid series has turned it around. Autosport doesn’t do anything particularly new, but it will remind fans why they love the Grid series.

It’s certainly rough around the edges but Murdered’s quirky charm and engaging story will have you playing till its too-quick conclusion.

Well-designed maps, and new weapons down in a sea of technical problems, for which there seems to be no solution. [Issue#112, p.95]

A fun return to Gotham, even if the mechanics continue to feel weary in the hands of WB. [Issue#112, p.95]

Some may complain about only receiving three maps in the Expedition pack, but it's hard to argue against the quality of the content. [Issue#112, p.94]

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]

Hack, slash, hit and miss. [Issue#112, p.82]

Warface is exactly like every other war-based shooter you can think of. [Issue#112, p.80]

ID@XBOX has brought us the classic Worms experience, with an irritating single-player campaign and disappointing design bolted on.

Consistently entertaining but lacking in originality, Watch Dogs boasts a hugely promising concept but finds itself coasting along on the triumphs of others. You won’t be disappointed, but you won’t be surprised either.

With competent gameplay and a great concept, if it had had more investment behind it and a bit of a polish, this game could have been excellent. [Issue#111, p.84]

A competent shooter, but fails to replicate the fun, frantic pace or steadiness its next-gen cousin achieved by quite a way. [Issue#111, p.82]

Another lovely instalment to Telltale's noir thriller, though cracks in the studio's model and/or ambition are starting to show. [Issue#111, p.80]

Wolfenstein might not be trying to push the genre forward in a significant way, but by embracing what has come before it, MachineGames has created one of the most entertaining releases of the year.

Don’t let the retro influences fool you – far from being stuck in the past, Super Time Force is a stylish, innovative game which deserves a place amongst your future purchases.

Beenox deliver a buggy, messy game that misses the essence of Spider-Man by a wide margin. Here’s hoping Activision entrusts the popular licence to another developer for the inevitable sequel.

Kudos to Traveller’s Tales for mixing the formula up a touch. An enjoyable little romp that will delight both kids and the young at heart.
