This Week in Review is hunting Trophies

by Ross Miller { Aug 8th 2008 at 7:30PM }

If you haven't caught wind yet, our friends at PS3 Fanboy have become a bit obsessed with Trophies -- we always knew they'd be addicting. If you need some fix, check out their Trophy Portal full of Trophy lists and guides. Check out all of our impressions and reviews from the Joystiq Network this week:

It's the calm before the storm, and next week, we're not looking forward to compiling that behemoth of a hands-on roundup. Check out all of our impressions and reviews from the Joystiq Network this week:

This Week in Review is evolution, baby

by Ross Miller { Jul 4th 2008 at 7:00PM }

Oh yes, we got to play Spore. The entire thing. With Will Wright providing backseat commentary. We also got some time with the Wrath of the Lich King's Death Knight, and DS Fanboy decided to play Homie Rollerz (so you don't have to).

by Ross Miller { Jun 27th 2008 at 8:00PM }

Sure, we got to see some Call of Duty the Fifth this week, but the big fun was to be had with Valve's Left 4 Dead. Check out all of our impressions and reviews from the Joystiq Network this week:

This Week in Review wants to rock (ROCK!)

by Ross Miller { Jun 20th 2008 at 4:00PM }

A multi-instrument Guitar Hero World Tour means only one thing: more plastic controllers strewn about our living room. So goes the life of the virtual rocker. Check out all of our impressions and reviews from the Joystiq Network this week:

This Week in Review is just a little different

by Ross Miller { May 31st 2008 at 8:00PM }

In one of the most interesting case studies since Galileo tested Aristotle's law of gravity, two console versions of Quake Wars were released this week. But, like identical twins separated at birth, their development rendered different results. Take a look for yourself.

This Week in Review is still in love with Sporky

by Ross Miller { May 23rd 2008 at 6:55PM }


click to get up close with "sporky"
Apologies to everyone, but we're still in that "blind adulation" phase of our relationship with Sporky, the cute little abomination from Hell we made in Spore. Also receiving love this week is M-rated MMO (or MMMO) Age of Conan, a plethora of WiiWare reviews and a surprisingly positive outlook for Alone in the Dark.

This Week in Review visits LittleBigPlanet

by Ross Miller { May 10th 2008 at 8:00AM }

Sure, there was Europe's PlayStation Day event, but our favorite Sony news of the week was PS3 Fanboy's hands-on time with the most exciting, most adorable, most user-generated, most sackboy-prevalent game coming to the PS3. Now that's a lot of mosts. Check out all of our hands-on impressions and reviews from the Joystiq Network this week:

This Week in Review gets hijacked

by Ross Miller { May 2nd 2008 at 9:30PM }

Not even Sierra's Spring Event, a lineup of all the company's upcoming games (Ghostbusters!) could steal even a glint of the spotlight from Rockstar's behemoth, Viva Pinata. In fact, it's all we (and everyone else) can seem to talk about. Check out all of our hands-on impressions and reviews from the Joystiq Network with this week in review:

This Week in Review isn't snaking either way

by Ross Miller { Apr 25th 2008 at 11:30PM }

We've had our hands full today mulling over what we should play -- Mario Kart Wii or Metal Gear Online, both titles we weren't expecting until the weekend. We were going to use the snaking joke regardless of the headlining game, but then we realized that you will not be snaking in either game.

We've got a rather hefty This Week in Review today. Check out all of our hands-on impressions and reviews from the Joystiq Network this week:
