I am dissapointed with your PSP review of NCAA 2007. If you actually would have played it, then, you would have given it a zero score for the game killing bug that exists. It doesn't give you the correct yardage on run plays. You only get the amount of yards you gained before first contact with a defensive player. It also has some players that left school last year. I pay for Insider service and I would expect to get accurate information for my dollar. After all, I was all set to run out and buy it after reading your review but decided to check Gamefaqs first. Good thing I did, as it appears to be unplayable due to the bug.
If you can't find the time to at least skim over a title before you give it a score, perhaps, you need to hire additional staff or lessen the scope of the entire website. Maybe that would give you more time to do the job that interests your readers the most, game reviews.

The very next day...
Good job on the quick re-review of NCAA 2007. I backlashed, as I'm sure others did, about the inaccurate review yesterday but apparently your copy was different than the retail copy. Thanks for keeping on top of things.
--Aaron
Thanks for keeping an open mind on what happened, Aaron. We make sure that we play each game that is sent to us as a review copy thoroughly. While we don't have any control over what's marked review and what actually is placed in the boxed copy on store shelves, we try our best to make sure that our reviews are as accurate as possible. However, when we discovered that the copy we had wasn't the final build of the game (even though we were told that it was), we made sure to play the retail copy.

Silent Def Jam?
Wut the hell happened to Def Jam! It moved back like three times, that game was basically all i had for the summer but now its not coming out until september and i start school a few days after.
-- Mac
Well Mac, we're not entirely sure what the reason was. Perhaps it was because the game just wasn't finished and needed more time to be polished. Maybe EA has a lot of confidence in the title and wants to put it outside of the slower summer month release window into the more competitive fall window. Either way, we'll just have to look at stepping into the portable ring with Method Man and Snoop later this year.

Browser Goes MIA
how do you get the psp browser?
-- Carlos
Carlos, this is relatively easy. The PSP's Web Browser, initially included with the PSP 2.0 Update, is located under the Network logo as "Internet Browser." By selecting this from the menu, you'll automatically launch the browser and be able to surf the web. A number of improvements have been made since 2.0 and the current 2.71 Update, such as Flash support and RSS Channels. Hope that helps!

Finding the Elusive COMMON
when i was online i saved something but it ended up in a location called PSP/COMMON. can you tell me where that is exactly? i have no idea where it is
-- Garrett
Garrett, the COMMON folder on your memory stick is where the PSP defaults to saved files downloaded that aren't necessarily compatible with the handheld. You can save files there, but to access any items that you may have downloaded, you'll want to connect the PSP to a computer and navigate there via My Computer. After you'll found the folder, you should be able to drag the files to the proper folder and have it appear where you want it to go.

Tekken: Dark Resurrection A Little Light?
Hi,
when you gave your impressions for the import of Tekken: DR you mentioned that it came with a special controller module but in your review of the game it was never mentioned. So is this controller module going to be included in the North American version of the game?
Thanks.
DAN
Well Dan, if it was going to be included, Jeremy would've mentioned it in his review. Since it's not there, it's probably safe to say that it's not in the North American version.

San Francisco Sauna
Holy crap, it's hot out here -- After suffering through triple digits on the coast this past weekend, I've definitely come to appreciate the cool ocean breeze of the beach. Hope you all can stay cool wherever you are, because it's been hot enough to fry an egg on a PSP up in the Bay Area. Hmm, I smell a feature for an IGN Weekly episode....
