  "For the first time in many years the Northern Hemisphere Rugby nations are now on equal billing with their Southern Hemisphere counterparts and the competition for the top position has never been so close with even the minnows of the International scene coming up with shock results. Rugby Union has never been so competitive or so popular, even at club level."

"Rugby Challenge 2006 promises to deliver the action with slick presentation, together with unsurpassed hard hitting encounters that avid Rugby fans richly deserve and expect."

"The best way to think of NBA for the PSP is that it is a like the final generation of PSX basketball games, but with a little better graphics. The animations are smoother and the character models, though small, are more detailed. The frame rates are more consistent also, but, really, that is about it. Sound-wise, the game is right on par with those Playstation titles."

""With NHL® 06 players can score like a superstar, express themselves through their shooting style with the new EA SPORTS Skill Stick and light the lamp with highlight reel moves such as spinoramas, toe drags, bat-ins, and between-the-legs shots. Classic deke control adds to the arsenal of moves allowing maneuvers around defensemen before snapping off dangerous shots that can ripple the twine and knock the water bottle off the net.""

"There are some frustrating aspects, the aforementioned difficulty modes will always seem wildly out of whack with the ‘slog’ and ‘village’ mode being quite easy to master, but the remaining ‘county’ and ‘test modes’, requiring quite a lot of practise. However Brian Lara’s International Cricket is still superior to the recently released Cricket 2005 from EA, and the only real cricket game worthy of your time. What does that mean to the cricket fans amongst us? Simply put its time to blast out some ‘Soul Limbo’ to the most refined cricket game currently available."
