    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.

    The greatest baseball game of this console generation.

    If you're a sports fan with a PSP, my advice is simple: Buy MLB '06, bring it home, pop in that UMD, and enjoy real baseball excitement all summer long.

    As with all of the games I've played in the EA Street series, you'll eventually start to realize that this is a game based on the amount of trickery you can pull off, rather than the real sport of soccer, which results in a stale and monotonous gaming experience.

    The quintessential sim racing experience available on the PS2. Time will tell if this is the release that pushes the series over the top into mainstream acclaim.

    It’s the best looking Xbox 360 game to date and the in-ring action is the Fight Night series' best ever.

    The Rival Challenge mode is a blast, and it's perfect for blowing off a little steam and killing time in the process.

    This franchise has legs and could be a welcome spring football fix for year’s to come.

    The lack of gameplay options, presentation, and the simplistic gameplay are just too much to look past.

    One of the best PC racers available to date. The physics engine just feels right no matter what difficulty you play on, it looks drop-dead gorgeous, and it has stable online play.

    They took an existing series that worked; did a 180 when they lost their MLB license - and produced a product with more features that was even better.

    Bowl Bound is the best text-based college football simulation I’ve played and I look forward to future versions of this fine game.

    With the depth of the legacy mode, the replay value is huge.

    If you take the game on it's own merits - as a fun arcade racer - you'll have a ball.

    The Xbox 360 version of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland is - despite the only-modest improvements - the best version of the game available on any system, and can be recommended as such.

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

    For those looking for the most realistic hockey game on any console, look no further.

    While playing this game, it’s impossible to shake the feeling that this game could have been really good if EA would have put some effort into anything other then the graphics.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour has gone from a throwaway golf-like substance on a disc to a surprisingly challenging and fun simulation with loads of promise for the future.

    A highly enjoyable, if a bit simplistic two-player experience. However, the single-player experience is ridiculously shallow, and consists of nothing more than playing game after game in sequence.

    Despite its few flaws and it's relative lack of "newness", NBA 2K6 offers excellent value - especially in comparison to other sports titles on the Xbox 360 system - and gives the gamer a full-featured product that also happens to be the best professional basketball simulation ever created.

    With no true multiplayer mode, online or offline, it's hard to suggest Amped 3 as anything more than a rental.

    Madden NFL 06 is not an awful game, but it's a jarringly incomplete and unforgivably buggy one. Obviously designed to look good first, foremost and last, Electronic Arts has sold out the game's soul - along with it's loyal customer base.

    The police aspect in this game makes it refreshing and "new."

    While NBA '06 featuring “The Life, Volume 1” is not revolutionary at the core, I personally believe more immersive experiences like this are the way sports gaming is headed. I’m very excited for it.

    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.

    Through the deeper story mode, the sense of reality created through the L.A. environments, and the rock-solid Xbox Live experience, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland accomplishes all of those things. Whether it's your first or seventh Tony Hawk purchase, it's still worth every penny.

    If you have great group of online buddies or real-world friends who are on Xbox Live, this game is the next best thing to the Friday night poker-fest in your pal's basement.

    It tilts a bit towards the boring, but the excellent online implementation means that if you're really into paintball, this is the game for you.
