NBA Live 16 Review
As good as a colonoscopy
HIGH It's light years ahead of NBA Live 15, in every way possible…
LOW … so is a colonoscopy.
WTF Based on the audio, it's not uncommon for everyone to leave the arena mid-game, including the announcers.
Madden NFL 16 Review
"Next year" is finally here…
HIGH: The new pass placement and receiver mechanics are the best series additions since the magic stiff arm of Madden '97…
LOW: … and the Dynamic Drive Goals feature is the worst.
WTF: Jim Nantz and Phil Simms have the collective personality of a dial tone.
EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review
EA's reboot lacks the eye of the … well, you know.
HIGH: Not having ample time to bake scones between holes.
LOW: Shimmery, hiccupping graphics and textures seem odd on current platforms.
WTF: Did I just use a 4-iron near a grazing elk?

Madden NFL 08 (Wii) – Review
I've played a lot of Madden over the years (and had experience with the other major series before EA got the NFL exclusivity rights), but I'm not one of those guys who plays each year's release.

Madden NFL 08 (Wii) – Consumer Guide
Parents should have no concerns—this game is rated E and is simply American style football. Madden fans have undoubtedly already bought this. While there are flaws in the gameplay, let's face it—this is the only NFL licensed game out there. Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers will miss out […]
NASCAR 08 – Review
NASCAR 08 allows players to live the experience of driving around in a circle over and over again for up to three hours at a time. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm being glib, because that's a literal description of the sport being simulated.
NASCAR 08 – Consumer Guide
Parents should have no trouble with this game, unless they're anticorporate activists who have some kind of objection to overpowering sponsorship. Be warned, though, although the game has no content advisories, the situation allows for some pretty horrific crashes. There's no blood or anything, but seeing the twisted heaps […]
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 – Review
I'm not a golfer, and therefore I’m not the best person to judge the accuracy of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. That being said, I do consider myself something of an authority on what I find fun.
