Critter Crunch was inspired by classic puzzle games like Magical Drop and AstroPop, except Critter Crunch has you controlling Biggs, a furry little creature that lives on Krunchatoa. And as the food chain goes, the goal is to survive and grow, while taking care of his young named Smalls. Basically there are too many animals in Krunchatoa’s ecosystem and Biggs needs to take care of this overpopulation. There’s only one catch, Biggs doesn’t actually eat the other animals on Krunchatoa, Biggs enjoys the jewels that are dropped once the other creatures explode from overeating.
So lets begin with the controls, this is just about the simplest game I have ever come across on a next-gen system. You literally have four buttons used in the game play of Critter Crunch and two of them are the d-pad arrows left and right. If youre looking for a game that literally anyone can pick up and play, this has got to be it. Despite the fact that the game itself takes a little time to get the hang of, at least you dont have to worry about trying to remember which button does what.
Secondly, were going to discuss the graphics. Overall, for a PSN game thats not meant to have the biggest and best graphics being as its more of a Mario style 2D game, Critter Crunches graphics are, well, as youd expect. It has that classic arcade look to go along with the classic feel and the two flow together almost flawlessly to make a classic looking, easy to pick up and play, game for anyone who needs some entertainment.
The object of the game, as I said before, is to basically feed the smaller creatures to the medium creatures and the medium creatures to the large creatures in the most efficient way possible, by making large combos and using special creatures to make the combos even larger and to last longer, which in turn gives you a bigger gem when they explode. Thats pretty much the entire concept of Critter Crunch in a nutshell, but as you get more experienced youre eyes become trained to put together bigger better combos in the least amount of time and moves possible as you race against the clock or against a competitor!
Not only is there multiple single player modes to choose from, but there are almost just as many multiplayer game types that you receive access to with the purchase of Critter Crunch! So if you get bored, or just need a break from the strenuous single player modes, you can hop online and VS a friend or just a random player who you get matched with to kill some time!
Overall, Critter Crunch is a very solid game and deserves a purchase if youve ever had fun playing a puzzle game. I personally didnt really get too big into the arcade type games, but I found Critter Crunch to be some good fun, even though Im by no means good at it. So if youre wondering about the purchase of this game, I would say go ahead and pick it up, but if you just absolutely hate puzzle games, then Critter Crunch probably isnt for you.

Madden ’08 was released on August 14, 2007 for Playstation 3, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, Xbox, Wii, PSP, DS, and Mac.
The Madden series has been around pretty much as long as video game systems were invented. The Madden series always has mixed reviews, either you love it or hate it, there really isn’t any option in-between.
So lets get started, basically, my opinion on Madden NFL 08 is I really don’t like it. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the work put into the game and how far along the graphics have come since back in Playstation 1 days, but I really have never been a big Madden fan. The main reason why I even got this game was because I got it through a special offer from PlaySwitch.com and I ended up paying nothing for the game.
Graphic-wise, Madden ’08 is decent for being released early in 2007. I’m not saying they’re amazing, but they’re definitely not categorized in the games with the worst graphics of 2007. The main issue with the graphics is the crowd. Now, if you’ve played any of the Madden games in the past, I’m sure you’ve realized that the crowd is always the worst designed part of the game and no matter what, it always needs more work. I completely understand that it’s not the main focus and it’s very time consuming to create thousands of individual characters with different animations, but I know these next-gen systems can handle it if only someone would put in the time to develop it.
The controls are the same as every other game in the Madden series and I still am not too fond of them. I mean, they’re easy to get used to and easy to play with, but sometimes the camera does some funky stuff and when you try to make tackles, it’s about a 50/50 chance that the player you’re controlling will do exactly what you want. In other words, it’s not uncommon that you will tell your player to dive tackle the guy with the ball, but instead your player dives the opposite direction resulting in a touchdown for the opposing team. This can get very frustrating and I think this is what deters most people from the Madden games.
This time around, EA decided to add in a new concept of earning rings as you progress through the game. I’m sure this has been appealing to many fans, but for the average gamer, the rings just makes it confusing and ends up being a turn-off. I personally have not even tried to get any of the rings or even gone through career mode or played any tournaments in Madden NFL 08. The only thing I’ve played is quick matches against the CPU and against friends and family. I really just have no interest in the rings or even managing a team, but I’m sure this is a positive feature for many people, I just don’t like it myself.
Overall, Madden NFL 08 is just like any other Madden game, the only difference is the graphics and the rosters have been brought up to date. If you’re looking for a sports game to play once in a while with your friends, I would say go ahead and purchase Madden 08, but otherwise I would have to say it’s up to you and you’re personal taste in video games.
