Title: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
Verdict: This year's Tiger scrapes victory by a whisker, but with so little real competition that's enough to be the best of the best. Serious video-game golfers should look no further.
Summary: Is this the next-gen Tiger we've been waiting for, or has EA shanked one into the rough again?

Pros: Options, Gamer Face, GamerNet, new 3-Click control system

Title: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
Pros: Detailed simulation of golf matches and tournaments. Stroke mechanics feel fun. Variety of real-world golfers and courses. Online and single-Mac multiplayer.
Cons: Intel Macs only. Average graphics quality, especially on backgrounds. Not enough tutorial content for new players.
Verdict: . Average, sometimes-glitchy graphics knock Tiger Woods into a bunker, but the deep golf sim hits the game back onto the fairway every time.
Summary: Ace in The Hole

Title: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (DS) review
Verdict: Golf isn't exactly a visceral sport, so the understated presentation honestly isn't a major issue. What matters is that the controls are easy to get the hang of, the portrayal of golf is realistic, there are plenty of play modes to keep you occupied, and
Summary: Don't let the understated presentation fool you: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 is a great portable golf game.

Title: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (PlayStation 2) review
Verdict: Only a fool would spend $40 on Tiger Woods 08. If you own 07, it would be like buying the same game twice. If you don't own 07, you'd be better off buying that one because it costs half as much and actually has more courses.
Summary: The PlayStation 2 version of Tiger Woods 08 has no new game modes, fewer courses, and fails to improve on last year's game in any significant way.

Title: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (PlayStation 3) review
Verdict: People who worry about yearly releases diluting the quality of games have plenty of ammo in the form of Tiger Woods 08. The changes to the gameplay are minimal, and some of them make the game worse. There are only five new courses, and many new features d
Summary: Tiger Woods 08 is a good game, but it stumbles a bit this year thanks to some unnecessary changes and some new features that don't work well or don't work at all.

Title: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (PSP) review
Verdict: No matter how much you love Tiger Woods professionally or personally, there's no reason to own four Tiger Woods games for the PSP. Even Tiger's stalkers think that's going overboard. If you've never owned a Tiger Woods game for the PSP or you haven't boug
Summary: The game plays well, but there's not enough new in the PSP's fourth Tiger Woods to warrant a purchase.

Summary: Thanks to a crash bug and features that don't work well or don't work at all, Tiger Woods 08 on the Xbox 360 is a big disappointment.

Pros: Touch Swing gives excellent control, Looks damn good for a DS game, Plenty of single player options, Loads of multiplayer options, Touch Swing gives excellent control, Looks damn good for a DS game, Plenty of single player options, Loads of multiplayer op
Cons: Putting is a nightmare, Player customization limited, Putting is a nightmare, Player customization limited
Verdict: You've got the same options if you choose to go online over the Nintendo WiFi Connection but here you can either just play random opponents from around the web or, more in the spirit of golf, you can find a friend using the new Friend Code system and play
Summary: It seems to me that sometimes Electronic Arts gets a fair whack of flack for just releasing an updated version of game each year. Sure, if you look at the FIFA series in the past, it was getting silly with two games a year, obviously designed to jump on t

Title: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 - PC
Pros: Plays a good game of golf, Plays a good game of golf
Cons: So does every other previous Tiger Woods PGA Tour game, So does every other previous Tiger Woods PGA Tour game
Verdict: Want proof? I've just won my tenth amateur tournament by 21 shots, finishing 14 under par for the round. Regardless of the fact I've played plenty of Tiger Woods PGA Tour, that's not right. All the previous games gave me more of a challenge than that
Summary: Ah, this takes me back. You know, Tiger Woods was one of the very first game reviews I ever wrote for HEXUS. Back then it was a part-time thing which happily has progressed into a full-time career. But it seems that out of the two of us I've progressed wh

Cons: PGA Tour Season is dull, Opponent AI is totally unbalanced, Commentators talk crap, PGA Tour Season is dull, Opponent AI is totally unbalanced, Commentators talk crap
Verdict: From attempting to get that elusive hole in one to sinking a 75 yard putt, the Xbox 360 version of course has the added incentive of the unlockable achievements and there are some competitive achievements on offer. But, the most fun I've had out of playin
Summary: It's approximately this time every year that we get inundated with numerous sports' titles from Electronic Arts, with the likes of Madden, NHL, FIFA, NBA Live and Tiger Woods all vying for our cash
