Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Review (PSP)
02:38 PM - August 13, 2005. Posted by hdaniel1.
Cyber Gaming Network has posted their review of Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, giving it a score of 2.0 out of 5.
"All in all, I can’t really recommend Midnight Club 3 to readers in good faith. There are some critical design issues with the graphics that prevent the game from being anywhere near as playable as it should be."
Xbox.com/Operation Sports Article (Xbox)

Operation Sports and Xbox.com continue to work together to provide you with more sports gaming content. Our very own Shawn Drotar has posted a new article entitled Madden NFL 06: Be the QB at Xbox.com, make sure you check it out.
"For nearly two decades, Electronic Arts' Madden NFL has dominated console football and crushed all competitors to their crown. Now, thanks to an exclusive license with the NFL, Madden™ NFL 06 is the only game in town—and they prove they deserve to be, with new and innovative features that bring you closer to the game than ever before."
Football Manager 2006 Interview (Xbox 360)
06:59 AM - August 13, 2005. Posted by Steve_OS.
Eurogamer has posted an interview with Miles Jacobson, as they talk about Football Manager 2006.
Eurogamer: "You've said this is a feature-complete Football Manager 2006 - is there anything in the PC game that isn't on Xbox 360? And does the PC version lack any X360 features?"
Miles Jacobson: "The networked multi-player options will be different on each. We are sticking to the same system for the PC/Mac hybrid version that we've had for a while, whereas Xbox 360 will have something different instead, but we're not revealing exactly what just yet. It's very cool though, and much more appropriate for the console gamer compared to our normal system. Obviously they've both got different control methods, but everything will be in there, although you might need a HD TV to be able to see a couple of things where the screen resolution of a normal TV just can't display everything."

F1 2005 Review (PS2)
06:58 AM - August 13, 2005. Posted by Steve_OS.
NTSC-uk has posted their review of F1 2005, giving it a 7 out of 10.
"As big a get-out clause as it is, the appeal of F1 '05 will just about entirely depend on the player's feelings about the sport as a whole. Discounting those who detest Formula One (and hence, won't be reading this review) then the more the love of the nuances of the sport, the greater the affection for this particular game will be. The drawbacks that are in evidence however do detract from the experience as a whole. The lack of real visual appeal, and the high difficulty and frustration levels do quite severely lower interest levels. While this may be just about the pinnacle of the genre, there’s still a whole heap of improvements needed before we see a truly definitive title."

Formula One 05 Review (PS2)
06:57 AM - August 13, 2005. Posted by Steve_OS.
Silicon Fusion has posted their review of Formula One 05, giving it a 7 out of 10.
"In all F1 05 is a refined product with a good amount horsepower under the hood but caught out by less than desirable control issues and a sport that mutated part way through the season. It is good and may well be for a while but it may not have long term appeal."

SimHQ has posted their preview of the Live for Speed S2 Alpha.
"But overall, the physics feel "right" to a great extent, driving, sliding, crashing into barriers. One little detail that adds immeasurably towards immersing the player is that if you hit the tire barriers they will move and somehow find their way onto the track."
