NBA '07 - IGN - 7.8

Closing Comments
NBA 07 could've remained a simple port of the current gen version, but instead, it chose to improve on a number of game features. Game AI is stronger, the shooting mechanic is tighter, and the NBA Replay feature is one of the best modes included in a sports game in some time. Unfortunately, the game is held back from greatness with some SIXAXIS control issues, bugs and a lack of unlockable content and modes. Sony's first party basketball title made a huge leap forward in making the jump to the PS3, which bodes well for future games in the series.

Genji: Days of the Blade - 1UP - 6.0
Ultimately, Genji isn't a bad game at all. Sony delivers a completely acceptable action-adventure game that will appeal to a lot of people -- the established Onimusha formula (itself a second cousin to Resident Evil) makes for a good low-impact launch showcase. Still, it's a shame that Sony missed a few key opportunities with this title. The multicharacter concept could have allowed for co-op (or even online) play for up to four players, as a mundane brawler like this transforms into something far more compelling when you're busting heads alongside pals. Similarly, the developers failed to properly capitalize on the Sixaxis controller's unique functionality: You can dodge by quickly jerking the controller to the side, but the same move is more effectively activated by merely moving the right analog stick. This lack of ambition keeps Genji from achieving any enduring success...it'll suffice for launch-time thrills, but likely won't linger long in your mind.

Call of Duty 3 - Gamespot - 8.2
Though it plays like many other WWII-based first-person shooters, Call of Duty 3 is a great game with top-notch production values.
The Good: Gorgeous visuals; amazing sound; 24-player online play; feels just like you're a small part of a huge war.
The Bad: Single-player campaign doesn't play much differently than Call of Duty 2; story isn't particularly engaging; inconsistent frame rate.

Ridge Racer 7 - IGN - 8.2
Closing Comments
While not a revolution, Ridge Racer 7 takes the long-running series forward. It keeps the larger-than-life race dynamic that fans have come to love and adds a rewarding customization option. An even bigger enhancement deals strictly with online functionality. Would-be drivers will feel like members of a global race community, complete with constantly updating race statistics and personal achievements. A nice selection of tracks, tunes and rides round out this very solid package.

NHL 2K7 - IGN - 8.6
Closing Comments
NHL 2K7 on the PlayStation 3 is a great hockey game through and through. Its feeling of motion and controls are top-notch, and its franchise mode is the one to beat. The SIXAXIS control features are fantastic, though the visuals and menus should be touched up a bit to make for a complete next-gen experience. If you're into hockey, don't pass this up.
