    Overall, NFS Shift provides an entertaining experience with a decent variety of tracks, locations, and vehicles.

    Toy Story 3 isn't perfect, with some loose controls and a dull plotline to follow, seemingly more for the convention of having a plot in these games than anything else. The Toy Box mode adds a whole lot to the game, however, propelling it far beyond what a typical tie-in game offers.

    If you've already got MLB 06, it's difficult to justify the upgrade unless this mode particularly interests you, but for those new to the series then MLB 07 is worth the purchase for any fan of the sport.

    The open-ended feeling of X3 will appeal to many who like to be able to do their own thing, while the lack of direction might turn off others.

    Few titles attempt a real-time strategy/action hybrid, and even less actually succeed. The precision of point-and-click may be the time-honored interface for tactical games, but Eidos Hungary has produced an excellent, landmark entry for the genre on consoles

    The visuals are mind-blowing and the sound is simply incredible, especially with the score it has.

    Overall, Shift 2 Unleashed is a fantastic driving game that should satisfy fans on either side of the arcade/simulation spectrum. The game may not be as sheer fun as Hot Pursuit was only six months ago, but could easily occupy a cherished spot on your shelf right next to it.

    The new twist on having allies to play as introduces a fair amount of replay value into the game (as there are secret characters to find), and the ability to obtain missions for each of the levels means you’ll be able to return to them again and again if you want to, though it’s possible just to move forward in the story.

    For someone who is not a die-hard baseball fan, I really enjoyed this game. I can only imagine that if I was crazy for baseball this UMD would only leave my PSP in a year's time when MLB'08 was released.

    While it doesn't bring any major innovation to the franchise, Guitar Hero 3 is a solid successor and an excellent first outing of the franchise by Neversoft.

    Fans of the Virtua Fighter arcade series take for granted that playing a real person is necessary to truly take in the experience.

    The gameplay itself is enjoyable because of its simplicity, not despite it.

    An enjoyable basketball title, and one of the best available to date on the PSP handheld.

    If you’re looking for a different way to blast those same Nazis you’ve been battling for years, look no further than this fun and exciting shooter.

    It felt fresh. It wasn't as limiting as open wheel track games, nor as repetitive as a NASCAR game, or as vulnerable as motorcycle games usually are.

    A very enjoyable adventure release, one of the best in the past few years.

    Ultimately, I like this game because of the open world driving, and because of the strong focus on the actual driving more than anything else. The shift mechanic is really cool in multiplayer and offers an experience you're not going to find elsewhere. Even the single player is ok; it's just very disappointing that they couldn't tie the main plot into all the other activities. Still, Driver: San Francisco is a solid and very enjoyable racing experience, and the scenery is unmatched in the racing genre.

    So long as you don’t come into this expecting a full PS3 game experience from it then you will likely enjoy yourself a good bit with these modern classical games.

    If you’ve picked up any of the previous SingStar games on the PS2, then you’ll know exactly what to expect with this latest release.

    In the end, tons of content, lots of things to see and do, and a fighting system that really makes you feel like you can take on the world come together to make a great game that offers a lot of play.

    The key aspect of The Continuum that separates it from the common RPG (besides its Flash-based construct, of course) is the environment in which your characters battle.

    A great compilation of mini-games, some of which have actual depth, and an infectious sense of frenzy and humor make this an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a Wii title that will flaunt and justify their new hardware purchase.
