Mike Smith (Yahoo! Games): “Whether or not you buy into the hype that playing this game will actually improve your brain, it's still one of the DS's most charming titles -- and it's got plenty of competition on that front.”

Dana Jongewaard (GameTap): “So is Assassin's Creed as awesome as I wanted it to be? No. But it's a game that attempts a lot of major development moves and it shows a lot of promise, even if it isn't always executed well.”

Jeremy Parish (1Up): “Look beyond the cheaply-made anime and the overblown collectible tie-ins, though, and you'll find that the foundation upon which the whole endeavor has been constructed is an enjoyable and often addictive RPG with a fantastic social element.”

Steve Hogarty (CVG): “Sure, there are far worse driving games than this one, but in terms of the Need For Speed series, this is a dud note.”

Richard Grisham (GamesRadar): “It may be the only NFL choice once again this season for the PS2, but at least it does the Madden name justice with its smooth play, wide range of features old and new, ridiculously in-depth franchise options, and online games.”

Dan Leahy (GameSpy): “Looks, as they say, aren't everything and FIFA 08 on the PS2 demonstrates this perfectly. Spot-on control, great atmosphere, more features than ever and balanced gameplay should send this one to the back of any soccer fan's net.”

Steve Hogarty (CVG): “…Call of Duty 4 expands on the series mightily. Its Middle Eastern and Russian locales, while still linear, feel far more open than the ruined streets of Occupied France ever were, and every mission contains at least one sweet chunk of surprise and delight.”
