Not a bad game by any means, The Fast and the Furious does a number of things mostly right, but only a few things very well. The driving physics are tuned too much for drifting, making the street racing sections play a little awkwardly, while the drift races are too easy because you aren't penalized for driving like an idiot. However, the cars carry a great sense of weight and presence on the street and the customization options are excellent. Try this one out if you love customizing your ride and sliding it around turns, but don't expect perfection or a whole lot of competition.

You broke my heart, NBA Live 07, you broke my heart. The game is full of bugs and glitches that make it almost impossible to play, and the few additions with the X-Factor and "redefined" Freestyle Superstar controls don't make enough impact on the game to make it playable or enjoyable. The additions to the dynasty mode, while nice, still don't save you from that poor gameplay experience (unless you feel like simming every single game). Save yourself the frustration, and let NBA Live 07 ride on the bench for this year. Hopefully it will develop into something stronger in the offseason for next year, minus the irritating game issues.

It's great that NBA Live 07 is actually trying to leap into the next generation with a Dynasty mode, All-Star Weekend and Superstar controls that the current gen has had for a long time. Unfortunately, the Superstar controls aren't as deep as the current gen or the PSP, and the gameplay is extremely unplayable and bland. You kind of get that sense when one of the achievements for the game is getting "four players to play on one console." Yep, that's definitely an achievement for you, because when you're finished playing the game, you probably won't have the same three friends anymore. It's visually appealing, but somewhat bankrupt in the gameplay department.

While the PSP version of NBA Live 07 is much better than that of the PS2 and Xbox, it's not better by too much. The game still has a lot of A.I. and gameplay flaws, and the domineering power of the Superstar control from last year really exerts its influence in this year's game. On the plus side, it's great to see Dynasty mode and the EA Media Center, which should be included in many other games. Unfortunately, dynasty mode, while nice, still won't save you from that poor gameplay experience (unless you feel like simming every single game), which is a step back from what this game could've been on the portable.

Harlem Globetrotters World Tour has very little to offer to anyone. It's a stupid, clumsy game that's not fun to play, easy to exploit and bears none of the humor and antics of the team it's based on. The menus and FMV intro are okay, but everything else is awful. Gamers looking for an arcade-style basketball game on the GBA can do better, and fans of the Globetrotters will be confused and annoyed by the absence of everything memorable about the team. Anyone who gets this game as a gift will have more fun making a 3-pointer with it in the trash.

ParaWorld is a well presented game with a terrific opening cutscene to get players ready to go and a story that could have been terrific were it not for some holes and inconsistencies. Obviously the chance to control both small and epic dinosaurs (and other prehistoric creatures) is pretty enticing for those like us that find the beasts fantastic. The game itself is decent enough but sticks almost entirely to the old RTS formula. The slow pace of the campaign can be hard to stick with at times though multiplayer and skirmish offer up other modes which push the action a little bit more. Still, for those that enjoy very traditional RTS titles that aren't as frantic as some of the newer RTSs, ParaWorld is certainly worth a look.

I’m happy with how this game turned out. I saw some weird things like arms passing through players, and some weird things happening with the animations at times (odd collision issues) but overall, the game plays quite well. It’s not hugely different from what we saw last year, but the advancements that were made were solid enough. NBA fans that own current gen consoles can hold out a little longer before they upgrade. NBA 2K7 on PS2 gives nice bang for $30 bucks.

Newly formed Avalanche Studios out of Sweden should be given credit for a good attempt at its first game. It seems that if they had a little more time to iron out the bugs and add some polish, then they would have produced a great title. The graphics are, for the most part, quite good looking and there is a lot of fun to be had while playing through the storyline, performing crazy aerial stunts, and trying your hand at a few of the side quests. The lack of depth really comes through once you get more than about 10 hours into the game and the monotony of doing the same side quests over and over takes its toll. After that, it comes down to how much fun you can create by yourself. Just Cause works well as a rental or as a game to pick up and play for a short while, but if you want something to keep you entertained for a long time then you should look elsewhere.

What a difference a year makes. FIFA 07 has closed the gap on PES5 more than we could possibly have imagined. Compared to previous FIFA instalments this plays a more rounded, authentic game of football without cranking up the realism so much that it’s no longer fun. The result is a game that’s as fun and as accessible as any of its predecessors, but with gameplay that’s more Premier League than the Championship.

While NBA 07 had the potential to be much better than last year's lukewarm effort, the game barely hosts any improvement. The defensive flaws from last year still plague this years game, the additions to the court don¿t necessarily make the game any more challenging; in fact, in some ways it makes it way too easy. Unfortunately, this also carries over and infects other modes like the Life, which is so ridiculously easy to complete with a story that isn't engaging at all. This is particularly surprising in the wake of the excellent version of NBA on the PSP. The concept is still a good one, but unfortunately, the NBA series for the PS2 will need a lot of work before it can compete with the other basketball games out there.

Ultimately, Alex Rider: Stormbreaker for the Nintendo DS had the potential of being a younger-skewing Tomb Raider design, but it looks like an ambitious design was cut down before it could reach its potential. Or maybe the game was just mishandled. Either way, this game just isn't good.

While NBA 07 still has some game flaws, such as a defense with a number of holes and a shooting mechanism that can be infuriating, it's never tried to be the most accurate or realistic game of basketball out there. Seriously, this is the game that lets you trade any players without fear of contract, salary cap or even sanity for a team owner. But what it has tried to provide is a fun experience on the go, and this year it manages to get a lot of things right. In particular, the new mini-games offer a lot of fun and replayable depth to the title, the inclusion of color commentary and instant replay amps up the presentation value. If you're looking for a fun time with a basketball game, you might want to check this one out.
