Madden NFL 07

PS3 Review

Is it even legal to launch a console without a new(ish) Ridge Racer and the latest Madden? Publisher Electronic Arts isn't taking chances, and takes the PS3 field on day one with Madden NFL 07... though 360 owners may feel they've played this ...

Madden NFL 08

PS3 Review

Aug 17, 2007 Despite our contempt for fake, commercialized "events," we can't help ourselves but look forward to Madden's release each summer. While we don't get caught up in the "Maddenoliday" hype, the release day remains circled on the calendar. Unfortunately for those of us with a PS3, this year's version leaves us trampled underfoot after three yards and a cloud of dust. We expected more than we got, and we're a little bummed ...

Madden NFL 09

PS3 Review

Like the career arcs of many promising first-round draft picks, Madden’s next-generation games have steadily improved from unwatchable embarrassment to veteran excellence. Perhaps, then, we were expecting too much - or (more likely) the short development cycle allotted to Madden 09’s crew didn’t allow enough time for all their ideas to get fully implemented. ...

Madden NFL 09 En Espanol

PS3 Review

PS3 - Madden NFL 09 En Espanol - Madden NFL 09 En Espanol

Cómo ocurre a veces en las carreras de algunos novatos meritorios, los juegos nuevo-generacion de Madden han mejorado calladamente desde una basura inaguantable a una veterania excelente. Quizás esperabamos demasiado, o (mas probable) el corto ciclo de desarrollo asignado a la pandilla del Madden 09 no les dio tiempo suficiente para poner en orden todas sus ideas. No importa. ...

Major League Baseball 2K7

PS3 Review

Fanboys may be waging a war of words over the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but one thing is crystal clear this spring - Sony's next-generation hardware is the place to be for baseball fans. Unlike Microsoft's machine, it's got two baseball titles being served up on it this spring. Competition means victory for gamers, and if the superb MLB 2K7 is any indication, this battle is just getting ...

Major League Baseball 2K8

PS3 Review

PS3 - Major League Baseball 2K8 - Major League Baseball 2K8

It takes a lot of guts to open up the engine of a great annual sports game, rebuild its core mechanics, and toss a pile of new features on top of it all. Yet that’s exactly what the fellas at 2K Sports did with MLB 2K8. The result has all the makings of a classic baseball champion - but unfortunately makes a key error that has us all scratching our heads. This spring, it’s a case of one step forward, two steps back. On the ...

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

PS3 Review

Raven Soft and Activision have teamed up for two of the best X-Men adventures in videogames (X-Men Legends and X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse). Now, using some of the best, most powerful and most popular heroes in the Marvel universe, Marvel Ultimate Alliance is an enormous adventure filled with dozens of vile villains and multiple universe-shattering threats. The game features an ambitious story and an equally ambitious cast... that's wrapped up in the same old gameplay you've ...

Medal of Honor: Airborne

PS3 Review

Nov 20, 2007 The main innovation in Airborne, and the one most obvious from the title, is that you play Boyd Travers, a paratrooper in the US Airborne Division. The tactic of dropping soldiers into enemy territory from planes was a new one for the 40s, and its one of those ideas that - once heard - youre surprised nobody has converted into a game before (well, not for a few years anyway). With this first innovation came a necessary second. Because you can drop in anywhere on the map, the AI ...

Mega Man 9 - PS3 Network

PS3 Review

PS3 - Mega Man 9 - PS3 Network - Mega Man 9 - PS3 Network

If you weren’t around for Mega Man’s heyday (waaaay back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, around 1990), all this commotion about an archaic, unsophisticated platformer may make about as much sense as the robot elephants that populate Concrete Man’s level.

The confusion is understandable - Mega Man 9 is an old-school 8-bit NES game through and through, with pixel-perfect jumps, one hit kills and crushingly difficult boss encounters that'll shred wrists from here to Japan. ...

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

PS3 Review

PS3 - Mercenaries 2: World in Flames - Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

Whoa. This is a next-gen game? The first impressions of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames aren’t going to be dislocating anybody’s jaws in amazement. Do not adjust your sets and all that, but this looks like a buttered-up PS2 game on first booting up. But then a friendly airstrike kicks in, and that subtitle, World in Flames, comes alive. ...
