1up has posted their preview of TT Superbikes.
"As the title of the game suggests, all the racing will be taking place along civilian roads as opposed to dedicated racing circuits. This seems like it could be the game's Achilles heel, since the authenticity of each series may suffer based on the lack of licensed tracks."

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 NCAA Football 06 Coaching Tips: Offense, Part One at Xbox.com, make sure you check it out.
"Sure, scoring touchdowns gets you all the glamour and glory, but it doesn't happen unless the man on the sideline makes all the right calls. Coaching a game is one of the most challenging parts of NCAA® Football 06 from EA SPORTS, but learning what plays to call and when to call them can make the difference between victory and defeat."

Game Revolution has posted their review of NCAA Football 06, giving it a B+.
"We're not exactly looking forward to 2006 - NCAA Football 06 isn't better than last year's game and our Cal Bears are sure to do worse than 2005's miracle run - but for all the inexorable fumbles, stumbles and bumbles, we expect plenty of daylight for our Bears and plenty of green for this game. Go teams."

Club Skill has posted their review of Maria Sharapova Tennis, giving it an 8 out of 10.
"Overall, this isn’t a bad little tennis game. This colourful, challenging, easy to learn game may just be for your mobile phone but it can rival the tennis games on the consoles for entertainment value. A nice way to take gaming on the move."

Boomtown has posted some screenshots of World Racing 2 screenshots.
"Alas the classic Hockenheim is no more, the chase through the forest was one of the classic tracks of Formula 1. Like so much of the sport it has been destroyed in recent years. However the World Racing 2 version is looking darn pretty."

TeamXbox has posted the following:
  • Tony Hawk's American Wasteland Preview (Xbox)
    "One of the key features in the T Hawk series is the ability to skate various parks or areas of town. In game’s past, you would travel from cool skating city to cool skating city, taking part in contests, free grinds, or in an objective-based campaign-like contest. Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland is quite a bit different."
  • NCAA March Madness 06 Hands On Preview (Xbox)
    "The Lockdown Stick allows you to “body-up” the opposition by pressing down on the right analog stick when in close; making your defender pressure the ball carrier, and hopefully, creating a turnover in the process. When in Lockdown mode, an on-court icon will be displayed around the player which helps to line up your defender with the ball carrier."
  • Need for Speed Most Wanted Movies (Xbox)
    "Combining illicit street racing and tuner customization with the intensity of strategic police pursuit that surpasses any Hollywood-style chase scene, Need for Speed Most Wanted will be on every gamer's 'must-have' list this holiday season."
