    One of the best games on PSP. [JPN Import; Apr 2010, p.110]
    • Metascore: 92
    • Critic Score 90
    With its mass of finely-tuned additions, it's bigger and more satisfying than you'd ever imagine. [May 2010, p.104]
    • Metascore: 68
    • Critic Score 90
    A mini marvel. [Jan 2010, p.115]
    • Metascore: 93
    • Critic Score 90
    It's equally confusing and brilliant. [Feb 2010, p.106]
    • Metascore: 91
    • Critic Score 90
    A brilliant must-buy. [Jan 2010, p.104]
    • Metascore: 87
    • Critic Score 90
    The animations and interaction of on-screen elements ooze character, and add a good dash of humour. [Jan 2010, p.113]
    • Metascore: 92
    • Critic Score 90
    The game is inches away from scoring 10/10, and it's only the familiarity of the core gameplay that makes it feel less than the very, very best. But it's definitely the biggest, and if this is the finale, then God of War III gives Playstation's toughest hero the send-off he deserves. [Mar 2010, p.97]
    • Metascore: 82
    • Critic Score 90
    Out on the park it plays brilliantly, presentation wise it's a massive leap forward for all of EA's sports titles. [May 2010, p.96]
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 90
    This is as close as you'll get to UFC without sharing Shane Carwin's post-fight ice bath, and that's where we draw the line anyway. Buy it. [June 2010, p.99]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 90
    A vintage slice of survival horror. [Apr 2010, p.116]
    • Metascore: 79
    • Critic Score 90
    That's right, people, a zombie dinosaur. Can I get a "hell yeah"? [July 2010, p.107]
    • Metascore: 82
    • Critic Score 90
    It actually works on the handheld in a way no other 2D fighting game has before. [June 2010, p.117]
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 90
    F1 2010 is fantastic. You'll feel cheated at times, but no other racer makes one overtake seem like popping champagne corks on the podium, or makes you feel like Stirling Moss when you cross the line in seventh. Sure, it's cruel: but it's one of the most terrifying and intense racers ever made as a direct result. [Oct 2010, p.96]
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 90
    In a year of shining PSN goodness, Guardian of Light draws its guns against DeathSpank, Shank and Scott Pilgrim and shoots them like endagered animals. [Issue#51, p.102]
    • Metascore: 88
    • Critic Score 90
    A nearly flawless package.[Christmas 2010, p.90]
    • Metascore: 91
    • Critic Score 90
    Closing your eyes and softly whispering Space Oddity: brilliant. [Christmas 2010]
    • Metascore: 89
    • Critic Score 90
    Essential. [Christmas 2010]
    • Metascore: 86
    • Critic Score 90
    Snake now has a very serious contender. [Christmas 2010]
    • Metascore: 88
    • Critic Score 90
    Alongside FIFA 11 and MLB 10: The Show, this is one of the top three sports games on PS3. [Issue#51, p.118]
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 90
    "Quotation Forthcoming"
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 90
    From a purely technical perspective, there's no question that it merits full marks. But for all of the things it does right, and there are many of them, Killzone 3 doesn't revolutionize or advance its genre in gameplay terms. [Feb 2011, p.91]
    • Metascore: 91
    • Critic Score 90
    Distilled gaming awesomeness beamed from the arcade that time forgot. [Feb 2011, p.97]
    • Metascore: 89
    • Critic Score 90
    The main draw in Dead Space 2 is that every aspect has been punched up a notch. And given that the original as pretty bloody brilliant anyway, what you've got here is one of the best put-together actioners of this generation. [Feb 2011, p.98]
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 90
    An unusually complex driving game that demands real dedication and only fully reveals its true power once you've put the mileage in. [Jan 2011, p.108]
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 90
    Stacking is utterly individual and cat-in-clown-shoes crackers. [Spring 2011, p.112]
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 90
    An infuriating test of trajectory skills and patience that will have you swearing, strooping and (perhaps most unbelievably of all) bloody well enjoying it. [Spring 2011, p.113]
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 90
    A playground of destruction like nothing else you can buy. [Apr 2011, p.108]
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 90
    Strung together in gleeful union, it's impressive and exhilarating. [Jan 2011, p.116]
