Please don't call this the "PS3 Gears of War Game." Army of Two is a solid start on a brand new property for EA. It's got some issues, but it's also a very good time, and a very different experience from Gears of War.
Madden NFL 10 Review (PS3)
Less over the top, more realistic, and slightly evil, Madden 10 is a double sided coin. It's a mature, much welcomed version of the game, but folks are scratching their head over why they are paying extra for things already on the disc.

Street Fighter Alpha Anthology

The Godfather - PS2 review
EA throws its hat into the GTA ring with The Godfather. Though the game makes excellent use of the movie license and brings a few innovations to the crime-sandbox genre, the game falls short of being great. Repetitive gameplay and occasionally frustrating camera and difficulty keep it from being an offer you can’t refuse.
