    It may not be enough for veteran players looking for an entirely new experience, but World of Outlaws should satisfy anyone else who enjoys career-oriented oval racing.

    As was the Xbox 360 version, the PS3 version of Madden NFL 07 is a very good football game that doesn't quite live up to the full potential of the latest console hardware. And while the game looks and plays quite good on the PS3, the added Sixaxis control support isn't really that impressive.

    The Flash's abilities are implemented in interesting and fun ways, plus the game looks and sounds exactly the way you'd want a comic book game to be presented.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Easily the best strategy game out on the PS2 at this time, not to mention one of the more inventive to ever grace a console.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The expansion doesn't stray too far from the action of the original, but the new levels, new weapons, and increased focus on action make "more of the same" a fun little adventure.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It promises many hours of addictive adventuring, all with a tone that succeeds at being self-consciously humorous in the face of some fairly conventional fantasy trappings.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    While the game is slightly flawed due to some imbalances in its gameplay, it's ultimately a satisfying experience thanks to a mix of classic Sonic 2D gameplay, a familiar cast of characters, and new technology.

    • 79 Critic Score
    Despite the omissions and deficiencies in "After Burner" and the unfortunate absence of a save feature, Sega Arcade Gallery is one retro collection that's worth owning.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    If you missed out on "MX 2002," Superfly is a perfect place to start.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A fun combat-racing game; the story will appeal to fans of the franchise, and there are a lot of cool secrets and unlockables. But there are some functional drawbacks--especially noticeable in the later levels--that prevent this game from being truly excellent.

    • 79 Critic Score
    Red Orchestra is an enjoyable, team-based online shooter for those who like the Battlefield-style games but want a more technical and realistic experience.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    For those who just want to race fast, wreck hard, and look good doing it, FlatOut fits the bill.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    You will find success early and often in Tiger 06, and though that may not sound like such a bad thing, it isn't necessarily true to the spirit of the sport, where triumphs--however minor--need to be earned, not simply offered to you for the taking.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    As with the other arcade classics currently available on Xbox Live Arcade, the addition of scoreboards, achievements, and online play breathe new life into Smash TV, an already-classic game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Tales of the Abyss is a familiar but entertaining role-playing game with a charming cast of characters that helps sustain the lengthy story.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The real problem with Monster Truck Madness is that it's strictly a single-player experience.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    If you think you can surmount the game's learning curve and whip a squad of like-minded recruits into shape, you'll find that PlanetSide offers a unique and potentially very enjoyable challenge.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Solidly good without quite crossing over into great. It's an odd combination of high polish and rough edges.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Virtually identical to the PlayStation 2 version, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, considering that the PS2 game actually made some interesting additions to the popular PC game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The Disney theme won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the core Meteos experience is still a ton of scribbling fun.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    An excellent party game, but unlike its predecessors, its online play component also makes it ideal even when other people aren't at home.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It can be set up to play like an off-the-cuff, arcade-style racing game or can be adjusted by varying degrees to simulate the actual physics and handling of an unforgiving F1 racing vehicle.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    If you're looking for an intense shooter experience, Darkwatch will not disappoint, offering crisp gameplay, an excellent presentation, and a varied campaign.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's a fantastic package if you've missed this infectiously charming series up until now, though some of its luster has faded with time.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's a fully 3D action RPG that's like a combination of Diablo and its sequel, but with better graphics.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Its relative lack of originality can...undermine Red Faction's appeal for more-experienced players, for whom the game will provide mostly familiar territory. Nevertheless, Red Faction is an accomplished shooter in its own right.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Luckily, the shooting wins out over the moralizing and helps make Men of Valor one of the few games to successfully tackle the Vietnam War.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Own the City is a very different game from the console versions of Need for Speed Carbon, but it's still an exciting racer in its own right.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Primal's actual gameplay isn't quite as polished or engaging as the game's presentation, but overall, Primal is still easily recommended to those who enjoy exploring their games and not just plowing through them.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The game's high level of challenge can lead to some proportionally satisfying victories against all odds.
