Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11
The Tiger Woods franchise is arguable one of the best golfing games in the history of sports titles, and the series just seems to grow from strength to strength.
With the eleventh title soon to be released, Electronic Arts have something special up their sleeve.
Not only will gamers get the opportunity to play as Tiger Woods himself, but this year the prestigious Ryder Cup has been included as a featured mode. Gamers can choose to play in either the American or European squads, and participate in the various competition formats; foursomes where players hit alternate shots, fourballs, and singles, which traditionally bring the event to a close with players going head to head.
Players on the PS3 will be able to use the new motion controller, which promises to give gamers an authentic interactive swing experience. Xbox gamers, however, won’t be able to play the game with the soon-to-be released Project Natal from Microsoft.
Another first for the title is that gamer will not only be able to play in team mode, but they will have the ability to take that same team online and play against other teams.
The new mode will allow for up to 24 players to participate against each other on PSN or Xbox Live.

The Sims 3: Ambitions
The Sims franchise is now in its tenth year and it seems as though there is no stopping its success. The franchise has been the provider of many smiles, laughter, sadness and memories, as gamers try to dominate their little virtual companions.
The franchise has also seen a number of expansion packs, and following hot on the heels of World Adventures comes Ambitions for The Sims 3. The title is almost self-explanatory, in the sense that the added expansion pack will allow Sims to fulfil their life-long dreams. Want to become a ghost hunter? No problem. Create wonderful and majestic art pieces? Just pick up a brush and let it happen. Sims will also be able to completely transform their home town to just the way they like it by becoming an architect and directly affecting the neighbourhood around them.
With the added stylist career and new tattoo system, it will allow players to make-over their Sim neighbours in fashionable or catastrophic ways. Another added feature is the ability to plan the outcome out the Sim’s career. Will the scientist work for good or for evil? The possibilities are virtually endless.
The expansion is sure to add a lot of laughter and excitement to The Sims players, and now it will truly be up to the player whether their Sim makes a success or a failure of their career.
