We have just posted our review of Gretzky NHL. Find out what Mark Fossen has to say about it.
"While the real NHL remains in a holding pattern, the virtual NHL continues to drop the puck on consoles everywhere. Sony's new PSP has shown a strong commitment to sports gaming in its launch lineup, and Gretzky NHL is its hockey entry. The PS2 version got an excellent score from Operation Sports; will its little brother be as successful?"

We have just posted our review of NBA. Find out what Mark Fossen has to say about it.
"989 Sports took the year off from their PS2 basketball series, ShootOut, but instead of that, they've come through with an NBA game for the launch of the PSP. Does the game deliver a solid NBA experience for Sony's new handheld, or does 989 clank one off the rim?"

ConsoleFootball has posted an article entitled, The Screenshots Seen 'Round The World.
"Last night I was surfing around looking for the new Madden/NCAA previews that were due to come out, and judging by the high traffic at most of the preview sites, I was not alone. I really didn’t know what to expect, so I did go into it with an open mind. Judging from some heated debates I have gotten into over the past month on various forum boards out there, I can safely say that I was probably more optimistic than a good number of people who seem to be quite angry at Electronic Arts. So, brimming with anticipation, I was hopeful for a visible sign that EA was going to address Madden/NCAA’s graphics this year."

TeamXbox has posted their review of Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, giving it a overall score of 9.1 out of 10.
"Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition has everything that an import tuner nut could ever want. Heck, this game has everything a racing fan could ever want. What it lacks in graphical delivery the audio department and sense of speed more then make up for."

MaddenTips have posted their preview of Madden 2006.
"A couple of notes here from a defensive point of view. If you lock onto a receiver the whole time, the defense will get a SLIGHT awareness boost. This seeks to duplicate the idea of a QB staring down a receiver. You can also look off a receiver. Lock onto one receiver, switch your vision and make the throw. This will give the defense a SLIGHT awareness decrease. Bear in mind, that this is a minor + or -. You aren't going to look at a receiver and have the whole defense chase him so that you can quickly switch and catch a guy wide open. It will be a gradual difference as it should be."

Gamestyle has posted their review of Ridge Racer DS, giving it a 7 out of 10.
"Ridge Racer DS also provides an opportunity to play against five friends with only one cartridge (using the DS download function). And while Gamestyle hasn't yet sampled this feature, we're reliably informed that it's nothing less than extremely playable; a sentiment which sums up Ridge Racer DS perfectly - and confirms its reanimated status in the highly-competitive racing genre."
