Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 is the greatest Tiger yet, but it's starting to feel like season five of The Sopranos. It's still the greatest show on TV, but it's starting to feel a bit stale. Maybe we have just become inoculated to the greatness; who knows? What is true is that the graphics and sound are straight out of 06, which is straight out of 05. That said, EA packed a ton of content and options onto that little disc, including difficulty sliders that will leave you bending your sand wedge over your knee. Tiger 07 is the best of the old Tiger; it's the best of the new Tiger; and it's still the best golf title on the market.

Cabela's Alaskan Adventures needed a complete overhaul for Xbox 360 and, instead, we've been given a sloppy port of the old generation engine and gameplay. The way hunting and fishing are presented falls outside the realms of pure simulation and arcade fun, making for a confounding mishmash of ideas that don't work together. The presentation, graphics and sound too are indicative of Alaskan Adventure's budget status. With all of the progress made in recent years towards creating good stealth and FPS engines, as well as in AI, its clear that with the proper design and effort, an excellent hunting and fishing game could be made. That was not the case here.

Released right around the same time as THQ's Company of Heroes, Faces of War suffers from the worst case of bad timing since Abraham Lincoln decided to wait until intermission to get some popcorn. While the game might have stood well on its own, the comparisons to Company of Heroes are inevitable and almost universally unfavorable to Faces of War. It does offer some challenging tactical battles, loads of physics-driven mayhem and the novelty of directly controlling your units. While that certainly made the original game a nice treat, those same features don't really do enough to separate Faces of War from the other World War 2 RTS games that have been released in the last year or two.

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.
