    • Metascore: 88
    • Critic Score 93
    Big, brash, ballsy, bombastic, barmy and bloody. And of course, better than Black Ops. [Christmas 2011, p.55]
    • Metascore: 89
    • Critic Score 93
    Stunning online shooter packing a strong campaign and tech-demo quality visuals. [Christmas 2011, p.72]
    • Metascore: 92
    • Critic Score 93
    One of the most emotionally charged gaming pilgrimages ever devised. Tiny but tremendous. [Apr 2012, p.92]
    • Metascore: 88
    • Critic Score 93
    Goes toe-to-tow with both Skyrim and Mass Effect 3. A knockout console debut. [June 2012, p.72]
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 93
    You've never played anything like it. A lesson in playfully creative game design. [August 2012, p.74]
    • Metascore: 86
    • Critic Score 93
    A superlative remake of one of the most important games ever made. [Dec 2012, p.89]

    The brutal pinnacle of that near-perfect RPG. [Dec 2012, p.90]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 93
    Eternally brilliant. [March 2013, p.93]
    • Metascore: 87

    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 92
    "Mario Kart" was good, but this is a cut above. [May 2006, p.52]
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 92
    A large part of what makes Loco Roco such a joy is its complete lack of traditional gaming obstacles. Levels are largely squishy, curvy, cushioned affairs with no holes of doom to fall down or bad guys to shoot. [Aug 2006, p.69]
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 92
    The best arcade rally game you can buy - what did you expect? [Nov 2007, p.80]
    • Metascore: 90
    • Critic Score 92
    An instant classic that proves the Wii can do 'serious' games with serious aplomb. [Nov 2007, p.70]
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 92
    The most explosive action game on Xbox 360 yet. "GTA"s suddenly got a lot to live up to. [Mar 2007, p.64]
    • Metascore: 93
    • Critic Score 92
    Controlling Brawl with the remote's D-pad feels like the devil's work and even the remote/nunchuck pairing suffers from the lack of a second analog stick - you need it for quick smash attacks. It's playable with the Wii's controllers, but seasoned smashers should grab a Classic Controller or dust off their old GC gear. [Apr 2008, p.58]
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 92
    With an incredible plot and accessible gameplay this is an instant classic. Brilliant. [June 2008, p.66]
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 92
    A magnificent return that joins the ranks of "Test Drive Unlimited," "PGR3" and "Forza 2." [Aug 2007, p.62]
    • Metascore: 90
    • Critic Score 92
    Level-headed and broad-minded, an excellent driving package that's as great as you make it. [July 2007, p.64]
    • Metascore: 96
    • Critic Score 92
    BioShock feels too long, even though it's actually not. This is the result of your being given too many item-collection goals, which will often mean backtracking for those who've been diligent explorers. [Oct 2007, p.64]
    • Metascore: 89
    • Critic Score 92
    A brilliantly contructed horror experience - the only game to come close to matching "Resi". [Dec 2008, p.59]
    • Metascore: 82
    • Critic Score 92
    Another quality run-out for PES on PS2 but it is only a shade better than "FIFA 08." [Christmas 2007, p.68]
    • Metascore: 86
    • Critic Score 92
    Still as addictive as ever. It may no seem so different at first but there are good changes. [Dec 2007, p.70]
    • Metascore: 90
    • Critic Score 92
    If you missed it on PS2, make sure you don't make the same mistake on Wii. A great journey. [July 2008, p.65]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 92
    A brilliant game youi get for free with "MGS4." What's to complain about? [July 2008, p.64]
    • Metascore: 94
    • Critic Score 92
    Unless you own a Wii, there's no excuse not to enjoy one of the best games in years. [Dec 2008, p.82]
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 92
    A stunning entry into the Guitar Hero-verse with essential new features. [Christmas 2008, p.80]
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 92
    A challenging and technically impresive FPS set in gorgeous but treacherous surroundings...It's one of the most engaging shooters we've played for ages. [Dec 2008, p.67]
