There’s no doubt that sports games have lost the simplicity that made them so accessible back in the days of the Genesis and Super Nintendo, when player models were nothing more than 2D sprites on the screen. In those days the expectation for a realistic depiction of the sport was minimal.

First N.O.V.A., now Archetype. When two of the best shooters for the iPhone unsuccessfully make the transition to iPad, you have the question whether or not the tablet is a suitable destination for the genre.
Until SEGA gets wise and brings After Burner to the iPhone, Top Gun 2 will sub just fine. Very loosely based on the Reagan Era smash, you pilot a series of jet fighters over enemy territory, unleashing more missiles than were probably used in the entire Pacific theater of World War II. Moving the emphasis to direct engagement, Freeverse throttled back on the dodging stuff that dominated the original iPhone Top Gun. I’m certainly grateful for the decision.
First things first — you want to know how this open-world Western compares to Rockstar’s other open-world game, right? Fair enough.

Singularity is a first-person sci-fi shooter that puts you on a mysterious island that it appears time forgot. Of course, nothing is as it seems, but the game’s tension and potential are ultimately squandered. If you’re looking for a fairly mindless shooter, you could do worse, but it never lives up to the superior games that it liberally borrows from to contruct its mechanics.
A brand-new, rock solid running game and ESPN broadcast-style coverage make NCAA Football 11 the best college football game … even if it’s the only one on the block. The gameplay benefits far outweigh the minor glitches that continue to plague the game.
Mother 3 developer Brownie Brown makes its downloadable debut with one of DSiWare’s best new games.
Activision has granted a non-commercial release of The Silver Lining, a fan-made King’s Quest project in development by Phoenix Online Studios.

Grand Theft Auto IV was Rockstar’s major, ballyhooed event title of 2008, and it certainly had a next-gen sheen to it. The problem was that there was something missing from it; it lacked the light touch of Grand Theft Auto III. It was so unbearably heavyhanded, both in story and in gameplay, that it drove some open world fans to Saints Row 2.
