MLB 08 The Show PSP Review
Gamepyre :: Wednesday, April 23, 2008
I’ve seen baseball games before, but none of them have compared to the latest Sony release – MLB 08: The Show. If you’re a hardcore baseball fan odds are that you’re not even bothering reading this review; you probably had this game pre-ordered and are now already playing it and loving it. However, if you’re the kind of person that is indecisive about baseball games in general then you should purchase MLB 08: The Show and find out once and for all where you stand (if you hate this game I’d advise staying away from baseball period). As a matter of fact, I’d recommend this game to absolutely anyone who even remotely likes baseball. The only way you will be disappointed with this title is if you just don’t like the sport.
Euro 2008 (Xbox 360 and Playstation 3) review
Gaming Heaven :: Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Pro Evolution Soccer has been a successful franchise since its inception, however it has been rather stagnant in recent years; nearest competitor FIFA (while having a huge plethora of options) does not quite have the same depth of gameplay. However fear not because corporate giant Electronic Arts has unleashed Euro 2008 on both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Euro 2008 has some of the most amazing multiplayer options I have ever seen, however will this be enough to guarantee the number one spot for EA?

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for Sony PS3 Review
i4u :: Tuesday, April 22, 2008
“The game is sort of an appetizer to the full Gran Turismo 5 game due out in a year or so and it is well worth the cost of admission. In my testing I used the Logitech Driving Force wheel designed specifically for the game. The force feedback features in the game are surreal. Each car has a different steering feel and handles differently. Go into a corner and you feel when the wheel leaves the road if you get into the grass, slide and you can feel it. Jump off the throttle too fast going into a curve and you can feel the car fighting to spin on you. It’s great.”

Codemasters’ Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty
BIOS Magazine :: Monday, April 21, 2008
“Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is a great concept and has a fascinating storyline, but its execution is poor. It doesn’t look good, play very well, nor does it offer anything new in terms of a gaming experience. Though to be fair, the way you can grapple an enemy character can be fun. Very much a linear game, very few exciting things happen along the way. And aside from moving through the maps, there’s nothing else to keep your attention. There are no secrets to be found, no hidden paths, no collectible items and few exciting scripted events. If you must shoot Nazis, pick up a title in one of the Brother’s In Arms or Call of Duty series, they’ll offer a much more rewarding WWII experience. Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is a big disappointment – shooting Nazis in the streets of major cities should be a whole lot more fun.”

Assassin’s Creed Xbox 360 Review
Gamepyre :: Thursday, April 17, 2008
If you have a 360, or even a PS3 or just a PC, do yourself a favor and check out Assassin’s Creed. The newly released PC version is supposed to have more side missions added in to keep you busy. Whatever system you get it for though, have some spare controller batteries around if you aren’t running wired, you’ll need them. This game can draw you in that much. Games like this should make you all happy you choose gaming as a pastime, and manages to deliver on every level, although a tiny bit more variation in missions would have been nice.
Okami (Wii) Review
Gaming Heaven :: Thursday, April 17, 2008
Okami was originally released for the Playstation 2 two years ago and it has been recently released on the Nintendo Wii. The big question however, can Capcom make this port as enjoyable as the excellent original?
Interestingly Okami was destined for the Wii at the same time development occurred for the PS2, however this release is over a year late. Okami creator Clover Studios dissolved so it was up to Capcom to find a suitable replacement to handle the Wii version. Developer Ready At Dawn were drafted to handle the coding duties from remnants of half finished code.
