Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
There is not a bigger name the Tiger Woods in the world of Golf and EA Sports has had him as the cover boy and key player in their flagship golf game for some time. This year the long running series hits a high water mark with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 which is available right now. Featuring a newly improved putt preview, an optional return of the three-click swing, and a really neat Photo Face option. The Photo Face feature allows you to upload a picture of yourself and completely wrap it around a model for a golfer, add this in with the very complete create a golfer mode and you can walk the same courses digitally as Tiger does. All of this is wrapped around a very complete golf experience featuring stunning graphics, a huge array of courses, game modes and golfer customization as rewards for game play. This year's PS3 entry feels better then last, indicating the developers are getting comfortable with the system and it shows in this great game. Golf fans everywhere should have this game in their library.

Why Buy it? I will be honest and say that if you purchased Tiger Woods 07 recently this probably isn't a worthwhile purchase, but if you or your favorite gamer has no PS3 golf games, this is one they need to have. I am not a golfer but I still have a blast playing this game. The amazing graphics really draw you into the game; stellar audio and commentating further make you feel like you are part of the PGA experience. The game features a huge array of modes from challenges and quick games to actually joining the PGA tour season, online modes allow you and two to three other people to join together and play matches or custom challenges in smooth lag free experience. The Photo Face feature is a very cool way to put yourself into the game and feel like you are a pro golfer, albeit a digital one. This is a great game with a lot of depth and is a pleasure to play.

Eye of Judgment
The Eye of Judgment is a bit of a hard game to discuss, it is certainly not for everyone, but for those gamers that love collectible card games (CCG), think Magic: The Gathering, this is the PS3 game to own this year. It's true draw is that it eschews the online cards aspect of other CCG video games and actually gives you in normal priced game bundle ($59.99), the new Playstation Eye camera, the game software, a starter deck of 30 cards, an eight card booster deck and a cloth mat to play the cards on. In this game the camera is connected to your PS3 on an included stand facing down towards the cloth mat, which is a three square by three square grid, the mat is then represented onscreen as are your hands and any cards played.
