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 <em>a lot</em> of mosts. Check out all of our hands-on impressions and reviews from the Joystiq Network this week:<br /><br /><strong>PlayStation 3</strong><br />

We've had our hands full today mulling over what we should play -- <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/Mario-Kart-Wii/">Mario Kart Wii</a> </em>or <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Metal-Gear-Online/">Metal Gear Online</a></em>, 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 <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/17/no-snaking-in-mario-kart-wii/">not be snaking</a> in either game. <br /><br />We've got a rather hefty <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/this-week-in-review">This Week in Review</a> today.

This week's biggest review also has the longest title: <em>Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate</em>. The masochist in us hope the next title is yet another spinoff, just so we can have yet another subtitle. Imagine: <em>FF:CC:ROF:Falling Orbits</em>. <br /><br />We also had some hands-on time with <span style="font-style: italic;">Gran Turismo 5 Prologue</span> and rounded up all the reviews from <span style="font-style: italic;">Rainbow Six Vegas 2. </span>Check out all of our hands-on impressions and reviews from the Joystiq Network this week:<br /><br /><strong>Nintendo DS<br /></strong>
