From the spiffy graphics to the more right analog stick-centric controls to the robust Create-A-Superstar to the new WWE 24/7 career mode, this is SmackDown as its finest. [Dec 2007, p.72]

Everything else is pretty much the same as the PS3 version, though, sadly, the online play has been stripped out. [Dec 2007, p.73]

Short, but sweet and--if you followed the game's initial advice--truly scary. [Dec 2007, p.83]

Although it's cool that you can customize your army and equipment and change sides in the battle whenever you wish, Bladestorm is just too repetitive to be worth $60. [Dec 2007, p.89]

Basically more of the same, but we aren't complaining...It's Guitar Hero, it's next-gen, and it's the party game PS3 owners have been waiting for. [Dec 2007, p.74]

Still, you're Conan, doing what Conan does(well, almost--unlike Kratos, the Conan in this game is pretty chaste overall), and that's always a good time. [Dec 2007, p.86]

With this UMD, you get a wonderful piece of history and two of the best action adventures ever programmed. [Nov 2007, p.82]

Combines absolutely jaw-dropping graphics with familiar platforming/shooting mechanics and genuinely funny humor to make one of the PS3's few true masterpieces. [Dec 2007, p.66]

Juiced 2 puts on a good front, but runs out of, well, juice far too quickly to bet $60 on such a middle-of-the-road experience. [Dec 2007, p.88]

Overall, NBA 08 looks great and plays smooth, but more importantly, it's a huge improvement over last year's entry. [Dec 2007, p.80]

So while the regular season gameplay has seen some nice overhauling in the last 12 months--including better rebounding and a butter-smooth 60 freames-per-second framerate--NBA 08 delivers a ton more handheld-ready, mini-game action. [Dec 2007, p.80]

Still, it's lovely, good fun, quite challenging, and offers plenty of unlockable incentives and solid online play to keep your foot on the gas. [Dec 2007, p.88]

The mulitplayer is simply outstanding. [Nov 2007, p.83]

About as perfect as games come, and you must play it. [Nov 2007, p.72]

Acme Arsenal has its fun moments, but only if you don't think too hard. [Dec 2007, p.89]

This latest Spider-Man is pure repetition-ville. [Dec 2007, p.89]

Still, NBA Live 08 can finally give 2K a run for its money and is a serious contender for your basketball dollars. [Dec 2007, p.81]

All of that, combined with a decent variety of gameplay modes and the eight international teams(read:you can also draft international players into your franchise)make NBA Live 08 a great score for PS2 ballers. [Dec 2007, p.81]

Jackass: The Game on PSP has a lot more longevity. [Nov 2007, p.86]

Suffice it to say, DDR SuperNOVA 2 is exactly what you expect: even more of the DDR you know and love. [Dec 2007, p.79]

If you can get used to the emphasis on room construction (over in-combat strategizing), you'll have fun with Soul Nomad. [Nov 2007, p.88]

A stunningly realistic simulation, Skate is a deep, eloquent, and completely free-form experience. [Nov 2007, p.80]

The mini-games range from pretty fun to pretty meh, neither truly stellar nor truly awful. [Nov 2007, p.86]

An awesome nostalgic package. [Nov 2007, p.86]

At this rate, Konami should just delete the series and hope that whatever's wrong with Contagion isn't actually contagious. [June 2007, p.82]
