    Overall this is the strong outing that the FIFA franchise really needed and it came out in a big way and for lack of better terms, scored.

    Taken on its own, Crash of the Titans is not a bad game. It does improve the series with the introduction of new gameplay ideas, but nothing you haven't seen before.

    Hands down Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow is one of the best games to ever grace a PSP.

    There is no doubt that even with this game's shortcomings, PGR4 is still a fantastic racing game that just came up a bit short from the high bar that has been set for this franchise.

    Although this is a great game of basketball, its improvements over last year aren't as significant as you would probably expect. Instead much of the experience felt like a tune up of last year's game, with some more features and modes added on the side.

    NBA Live 08 is just a much better all around game of basketball than last year's experience, and yet it's still not perfect.

    NBA 08 for the PS2 may be the last time we see The Life on the PS2. Unfortunately Volume 3 just felt too familiar to the last two outings, and we're expecting much more for the third game in the franchise.

    Singstar 80s is a good solid experience that I believe most will just really enjoy.

    MySims is not a great game, but it does enough right to earn a good rating. I would say this is the type of game that if you're bored one weekend looking for a game for your Wii, then MySims is a game that can take up a lot of your time and make for an enjoyable experience.

    As a first game this was actually pretty impressive, and although the mechanics could be a bit frustrating at times it was still worth it to put the work in and enjoy fishing.

    In the end, Dark Mirror is a good solid title that suffers from being a bit dated and missing some key features.
    • 76 Metascore

    In the end, Singstar Amped is a good solid music title, that for many will offer up a great music experience especially for those into some nice rock and roll tunes.

    Juiced 2 is not the cream of the crop in terms of street racing games. It however is a game that fans of the genre should not overlook.

    Skate is one of those games that managed to really surprise me this year, especially in a year where there haven't been any big surprises. Skate manages to really come out with all engines firing, and manages to make a great skateboarding game.

    In the end, Heavenly Sword is really the first major standout title for the PS3 since its console debut.

    NHL 08 is by far one of the more impressive NHL titles in the past few years.
    • 38 Metascore

    I can't say enough how disappointed I was with the final results of Kengo: Legend of the 9. There is so much potential for a realistic samurai title that it's hard to see something going much worse than this.

    NHL 08 is one of those games that manages to put everything together in one complete package, and NHL 08 is really a complete hockey package.

    In the end Drawn to Life may not be the most impressive all around experience, however it is certainly a unique and fun game to play.
    • 71 Metascore

    In the end, NHL 2K8 is not a perfect game, as there are still room for improvements in the graphics department. However, as a package, the game excels, with solid gameplay, deep modes and everything you would want from a hockey game.

    In the end, Stranglehold is a good solid action game that struggles from being too repetitive and lacking a lot of what you need to have a long lasting action experience.

    If you're a fan of the franchise or just WWII shooters I would still give a strong recommendation to check this game out.

    There is no doubt about it, Warhawk is a great game, and is one of the new reasons to go out and purchase a Playstation 3.

    If you have tried the series and haven't enjoyed it in the past, my guess is this title is not going to change your mind.

    Dynasty Warriors Gundam is the kind of title that fails to live up to gamers expectations, especially when it carries the name of two very popular franchises.

    I was a bit underwhelmed when I first got into Tiger Woods 08, I just didn't feel like there was enough new in the game to make it worthwhile. And then I kept playing, I got into the Gamer Net and was addicted, and then played more into the Career and once again was hooked.

    In the end, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption may not be the most groundbreaking title of the franchise but it does warrant a fantastic conclusion that I don't think any Wii owner or Metroid fan can afford to miss.

    MotoGP 07 is not a vast improvement over last year's game, but it is a good solid experience nonetheless.

    There are really two categories of RPG's, the great ones, and the less than favorable ones. Jeanne d'Arc manages to get in the top category, which just shows that Sony really pushed this game to become great, and they succeed in doing that.

    The Xbox 360 has had three years to mature and grow with Madden, and we are really ready to be wowed and Madden 08 does a good job of it, but I still think fans want more.
