    There's a laser-like focus on gunplay here that strips away much of the fluff. [Issue#99, p.81]

    Too damn short. [Issue#99, p.78]

    It's never bland, but it is so bland it's impossible to recommend. [Issue#99, p.74]

    The cars never felt "right." [Issue#99, p.67]

    As absorbing and oddly addictive an experience as you'll find on 360. Just keep an eye on the clock - this game devours hours at a time. [Issue#98, p.81]

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

    If you're any good at all at fighters, give it a go. [Issue#98, p.78]

    Great presentation and a wealth of content make up for technical shortcomings. [Issue#98, p.74]

    Wholly entertaining, Blood Dragon chucks everything we didn't like about Far Cry 3 in the bin and cranks everything else we did like up to 11. Then adds lasers. Solid. [Issue #98, p.72]

    Warning: highly addictive. [Issue#98, p.70]

    A marked improvement on the original, and though it does make a few new mistakes, there's a lot here that story-loving FPS fans will appreciate. [Issue#98, p.65]

    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The lack of challenge only adds to the boredom. In every way, Army Of Two: The Devil’s Cartel is an embarrassment to videogames...Not just boring, but exactly the kind of ‘violence for violence‘s sake’ dross the anti-videogame lobbyists dredge up at the arrival of each new atrocity.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It’s double-hard to make such harsh criticisms of a game into which such a tremendous amount of care has been poured – obvious by its looks, and obvious by that token that a great many of those who worked on it cared.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a unique twist on the stealth genre and one that's worth exploring in three dimensions. [Issue#97, p.77]
    • 51 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It can't hide its budget nature, presenting strategy fans with irksome gameplay, ugly visuals and an overall lack of polish or thought. This is a mess. [Issue#97, p.76]

    Under that pixelated good is a deviously complex fighting engine. This means it's not for everyone, thought. [Issue#97, p.71]

    A delight to play, despite the fact that it openly revels in your failure. [Issue#97, p.70]

    • 77 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This year's effort comprises a lot of recycled, poorly implemented and buggy content, some of which is locked behind a pay-to-bypass grind wall. You can't charge 50 quid for that. [Issue#97, p.68]

    There are good ideas here, but too much bogging them down. [Issue#97, p.66]

    Surprisingly deep. [Issue#97, p.64]

    You'll wonder why you didn't just stick with multiplayer greats like Bomberman. [May 2013, p.89]

    Will struggle to hold the attention of anyone that didn't hammer these games back in the day. [May 2013, p.88]

    The story is as epic as it ever was, but the gameplay is uninspired. [May 2013, p.86]

    You can throw poison sausages at people and dress up as a clown. [May 2013, p.85]
