As two previous games prove and hundreds of fans can attest, LEGO and Star Wars go together like peanut butter and jelly. [Holiday 2007, p.79]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Some SOCOM purists may be turned off by the new control scheme, but if you stick with it, you'll find it's worth it. [Jan 2008, p.82]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Even diehard fans of the Adult Swim cartoon will have an extremely hard time jjustifying a $30 novelty purchase, because that's the best this game could hope to be. [Jan 2008, p.86]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

With CoD4, developer Infinity Ward throws you into real-world situations, but places the focus on fictional bad guys. [Holiday 2007, p.70]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

So often we see PSP ports that are missing features or don't control well, but Afternoon of Darkness is a shining example of what ports should be. [Holiday 2007, p.80]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Actually, it ccould be said that it's actually more fun to watch the game than it is to play it. [Holiday 2007, p.76]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Still, the single-player is entertaining enough, with a lot off the fun of John Woo's original movie. [Jan 2008, p.83]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Story aside, however, Manhunt 2 is an important game--not because of the controversy surrounding it, but because it is one of the final few original PS2 games. [Holiday 2007, p.81]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Jericho is pure Clive Barker, and that means that it's not for everyone, especially young children or people with weak stomachs. [Holiday 2007, p.85]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Capcom comes off like a crotch rocket vet with MotoGP 07, even though it's the publisher's first foray into the breakneck franchise since snagging the PS2 rights from Namco. [Holiday 2007, p.75]]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

While the game's concept and execution are commendable, the horrendous load times constantly interrupt your experience--but if you don't mind waiting five second to access your inventory (or twenty to change zones), you'll find some humorous sandbox fun.

Also, the presentation is a mix of cheesy music, mediocre pre-rendered cutscenes, better in-game cutscenes, and bad voiceovers. [Holiday 2007, p.78]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

FIFA 08 delivers a pretty complete soccer package that we still hope will improve as the specter of pressure from Konami's "Pro Evolution Soccer" looms on the horizon. [Holiday 2007, p.84]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

However, quantity comes at the cost of quality--because none of the games are the main focus of the game, they all feel shallow and repetitive. [Holiday 2007, p.82]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

A plethora of other modes (multiplayer, exhibition, card collecting) rounds out this ambitious title, making it well worth the time of those who usually shy away from sports games. [Holiday 2007, p.80]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)
