Fun alone or with friends, this is the ideal sports franchise for the handheld arena."

PALGN has posted the following:
  • MotoGP 4 Review (PS2 - 7.0/10)
    "But the problem is that we've seen most of it before - numerous times. The game is certainly very good in its own right, though, with some addictive and spectacular racing to be had. The game definitely looks the business when its frame rate isn't busy diving to the ground faster than you can say Paris Hilton, too."
  • Tony Hawk's Underground 2: Remix Preview (PSP)
    "New multiplayer features have been added for the PSP, with over ten new modes for those who can find another person with a PSP. Should be interesting. Players also have the ability to import their picture onto the PSP via a memory stick and map their face to create their own personalised game character."

ReviewGamer has posted their review of Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition, giving it a 9.4 out of 10.
"This is in keeping with the over the top, any means necessary arcade-racing philosophy that is the trademark of the MC series, and while some elements of realism are left by the wayside (like being able to drive through pedestrians) this doesn’t hamper the titles amazing ability to really put you in the drivers seat of some of the hottest cars on the road. Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition will have you firmly by the adrenal glands from the outset, the thumping soundtrack, with over 100 licensed songs, only adds to the atmosphere and authenticity of the whole experience. Throw a whole bunch of cool online features and race modes, online car clubs, a track editor, arcade mode complete with Wipeout-esque power-ups, and awesome multiplayer and you have a street racing sensation that, for my money at least, can’t be beat."

UGO has posted the following:
  • Asphalt: Urban GT (DS - C)
    "If you're looking for a racing game for your new handheld system, you'd do well to stay away from Asphalt: Urban GT. The mediocre gameplay is completely obliterated by frustrating bugs and sloppy design."
  • Colin McRae Rally 2005 (N-Gage - A-)
    "The only downsides are that the music can get annoying with time, and the controls seem to be a little more strict than other racing games. However, N-Gagers looking for a true racing simulation will find a lot to enjoy in this game."

PALGN has posted their preview of Rugby League 2.
"Measures have been taken to improve the flow of gameplay and increase the intelligence of the computer opponents. New techniques such as ball stripping, contesting the high ball, diving on/kicking the loose ball and passing to the play maker will help to improve the general flow of play, which was already one of the best aspects of Rugby League."

  • Playstation 2
    "The Madden series may be the only official NFL football game in town, but the developers at EA Sports Tiburon aren't kicking back on the sidelines. Madden NFL 06 is going on the offensive this season."
  • Xbox
    "Vision and Precision passing s a big change, but that's not all that s kicking off for 06.

Not only will you have to achieve fame by your gameplay on the field, but you'll also have to deal with agents, endorsements, and other off-the-field issues on your way to the Hall of Fame."

Boomtown has posted their review of Formula One 05, giving it an 8 out of 10.
"Certainly it's not a welcoming game for the newcomer. If you've played the previous games and have been eagerly awaiting this iteration - you won't be disappointed. If you want to feel more involved in I would suggest the excellent PS2 version of TOCA Racer Driver 2. Formula One 05 is a great game if you've the willpower and skill to enjoy it, and if you still believe in the rapidly disintegrating spectacle that is F1."
