    • Metascore: 82
    • Critic Score 92
    A treat of a game that's as creative and funky as it is new and interesting - we can't recommend it enough. [Nov 2008, p.77]
    • Metascore: 82
    • Critic Score 80
    A great strategy game that makes up for basic graphics with addictive gameplay. [Mar 2010, p.90]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 90
    One of the toughest Mega Man games yet. A great download for hardcore retroheads. [May 2010, p.86]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 80
    Hugely detailed, simply set out and even educational, this is the perfect art app.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 80
    Placed in the greater CODverse and BLOPS2 is too inconsistent to rank among the classics. Nice ideas rub shoulders with absolute howlers, and smart additions are hampered by a complacent disregard for beginners. In the Nintendoverse, however, this COD is a big fish in a small pond.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 88
    As hilarious as ever - chalk up another must-have purchase for Strong Bad. [Jan 2009, p.93]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 74
    Simple fun. [Aug 2011, p.91]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 86
    While it's nothing Fire Emblem fans wont have seen before, this is a hugely enjoyable tactical RPG.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 78
    Accessible beat-'em-up that puts on a dazzling display. Comic fans will love its use of DC, but shallow gameplay puts this in the 'luxury purchase' bracket.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 84
    With great controls and an involving plot, this is one title that's well worth conquering. [July 2009, p.90]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 80
    What had the potential to be the best Resi of recent years ends up being merely a solid port. The overall experience still plays best on 3DS.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 81
    A fitting way to end a sensational bunch of games. [Apr 2011, p.91]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 94
    One of the best action games ever is now even better. Absolutely essential. [Sept 2011, p.83]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 87
    One of the best platformers on the DS. [Jan 2007, p.75]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 90
    It was going to be hard to do the original justice, but this remake does and then some. [Christmas 2010, p.68]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 70
    The game is undeniably lovingly made, but it's also disappointing brief. It's - yep - the fastest fun in the west.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 85
    Great fun in short bursts, MadWorld is a quality title with buckets of gore, style and humour.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 86
    Scoring a field goal by flicking the Wii Remote feels genuinely satisfying. [Christmas 2006, p.74]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 68
    If you're after an eight-player game on the DSi this may be worth a punt. [Oct 2010, p.97]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 70
    EscapeVektor looks good but lacks charm, and just going up, down, left and right over lines is a little boring. Solid retro gaming, but with a lingering feeling of style over substance.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 83
    A joyous little platformer that show how WiiWare should be done, but it's all over too soon. [July 2008, p.80]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 91
    The disappointing lack of multiplayer modes aside, this is almost the perfect strategy package. [Feb 2008, p.62]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 86
    "Quotation Forthcoming"
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 88
    A beautiful nostalgia trip that also stands on its own blurry blue legs. Utterly heart-warming.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 85
    Repetition is just about kept at bay by delicious artiness and deeply involving combat. [Dec 2009, p.80]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 85
    It's not perfect but it's greatly improved, and with tons of game modes and tournaments in here, you'll get a solid round of golf out of this. Finally. [Nov 2008, p.102]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 87
    It's the same old Worms at the core, but it's the franchise at its best. [Sept 2007, p.72]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 72
    An entertaining platformer let down by a silly pay-to-play unlocking system.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 85
    Familiar gameplay, but the finely crafted stories make this the best game in the series. [Nov 2008, p.86]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 84
    A good value Punch-Out! clone. [June 2010, p.95]
