    The gameplay is solid, the customization is deep and immersive, and it's absolutely stunning visually. It's a slam-dunk for "Street" series veterans or rookies ready to make the leap.

    EA Tiburon has added depth to the series with the addition of Home Field Advantage, composure and Xbox Live. Despite a few pit falls, NCAA 2005 is a solid rendition of college football.

    The interaction between manager and players, media, and other managers just adds to the enjoyment and longevity of this title.

    It might be time for EA to let the Burnout field lie fallow for a year or two, before one of the most exciting titles of the current generation becomes a tired has-been in the next generation.

    Even without any type of career mode, you are getting one of the most thorough and in-depth sports titles for the PC. The hardcore NASCAR fan that has the computer power to get the most out of this title will be in seventh heaven.

    I love this game! I will be playing it a lot in the next 4 or 5 months. It’s the closest thing that I found to replicating that feeling of turning on the T.V. to watch Spring Training or heading down to “the corner” to watch my heroes play.

    With the Internet play and use of the console engine, it is king.

    When you continually get dunked on, or miss “gimme” jump shots, frustration sets in and you start to wonder if it is me or the game? I am having a lot of fun finding out though.

    Although the career mode was a complete letdown, this still is the best tennis game to come out in this generation of consoles, including the Dreamcast.

    Magnificent, all-encompassing presentation serves only to highlight the wholly engrossing game play.

    One of the most enjoyable golf games on the market today – and the best overall on any console system.

    Though the engine itself doesn’t match some of the better games in the genre on both the Xbox and PC, it certainly plays a passable game of golf. It’s got an arcade flavor, but definitely delivers a fun game.

    The Haymaker, the ability to block and punch while moving and the EA Sports Cutman are all great additions to this year's game. However, there's still a big issue with the AI regarding knockdowns that needs to be addressed.

    A perfectly balanced arcade racer. It's lovingly crafted, exciting as all get-out, and looks like nothing you've ever played before.

    If you are outside the U.S. and have access to "Winning Eleven" or "Pro Evolution Soccer" this game isn’t going to impress you.

    A game that should be online for the XBOX.

    This is a nice looking, sounding, and smooth game of hockey. The gameplay AI and even Franchise AI is suspect - and below par, in my opinion.

    I would give NCAA 2007 a perfect 10/10 based on the gameplay and the amount of fun I had with it. However, I'm knocking a point off for the lack of ESPN integration, the status quo on online play, and for not adding to the pre-game intros.

    The single player will eventually get repetitive after going through Hold the Court and City Circuit modes but if you are into multiplayer this is a can’t miss game.

    I think that the "major" issue with Major League Baseball 2K5 World Series Edition is that it's too much of the same. There aren't enough changes in this game to justify a whole new game, or to justify a purchase from someone who owns the earlier version.

    A visually appealing, nice sounding, smooth-playing version of the NHL. It has just enough simulation mixed with just the right dash of arcade to make it the best hockey effort we've seen on the Next Gen consoles.

    However, the series is starting to act like geriatric "classic" rockers who take the same "Greatest Hits" out on the road year after year. It's got its play list down pat, but there's nothing new there.

    If you're a sim nut, avoid Rallisport Challenge 2 like the plague. After this review, I seriously can't see myself ever wanting to play this title again...If you like mindless trigger mashing and insane powerslides (even if they're artificially forced), then it's probably a 4/5 for you.

    In the world of text-based gaming, this game is, once again, one of the best around.

    There's nothing revolutionary here, and nothing that advances the genre, but this is the best NCAA yet.

    RalliSport could very well be the racing game of the year. The only reason it doesn't go into our Hall of Fame is for the lack of customization and a little more "sim" options.

    There is some room for improvement in the AI and the features, but when it comes to creating the illusion that you are really playing football, this is the game.

    The best simulation of videogame basketball bar none.

    The best baseball game around period. Graphics can only do so much and this simulation is top notch in gameplay and delivery. If you are an avid baseball fan you need to check out this game.

    Damn you THQ for screwing up my free time once again and making another outstanding racing title that takes my current crown of being the top online racer on a console and one of the top racers overall.
