"CRC at the very least will be a new challenge for off-road or rallycross racers to throw themselves up against. It's certainly not easy (unless you make it so, of course), and the structured-yet-open track design is sure to give many racers fits as they try to break old habits they've gathered in other racing titles."

"Take command of the biggest teams in NASCAR® and build a multi-car dynasty. Squad-based racing lets you communicate with your crew chief, spotters, and on-track allies to help maneuver your team to the front of the pack. Earn the title of Teammate, Champion, and Hero as you master the art of squad-based racing in NASCAR® 06!"

"This short trailer shows off some "team play," one of NASCAR 2006's new features."

"After beating the tar out of someone with a chair, then a bell, then a table, then another chair, I’d miss and they would manage to jump up and grab the chair and 1-2-3 I’m out. Now I know wrestling is fake, but they wouldn’t even pull this crap on the show."

"In a market crowded with other street racing titles, Street Racing Syndicate is a decent racer that doesn't do quite enough to lift it above the pack. The addition of the 'girlfriend' mode may give it some extra points amongst the sweaty palm brigade, but most will just find it trite and probably insulting."

"NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2005 is a text based hockey manager simulation. It lets you take control of a real team in practically any league in the world and try to lead them, and yourself, to ultimate glory. Over your career you can be hired to better jobs, fired, lead international teams, watch prospects from the age of 12 up to the day they retire, and so much more."

"As such, Sunrise ticks every box on the Big Online Arcade Racer Quality Control Checklist – but at the same time, the hardcore minimalist approach of the game may prove to be too much for those simply looking for the next Gran Turismo. As such, if you’re the type of hardcore perfectionist with a compulsive obsessive streak running through you, chances are you’ll love the frustrating brilliance of this game to the extent that those broken joypads will seem almost worth it – but if you’re simply looking for something a little more mainstream, don’t be surprised if you miss the point of the game entirely."

"In conclusion, Madden 2006 looks like another great Madden game. However, EA still has LOTS of work to do to make sure that this game is a winner. I believe that EA probably tried to add too many new features, because none of the new features seems to be working quite right at this point in game development. However, we all have our fingers crossed that EA can work out the kinks in this game to make it the best Madden to date."
