EA, you ought to be terribly familiar with the score given this year’s game: it’s like deja vu all over again! Just think back to November 2004. Yes, the bell’s gotta be ringing by now.
Turok | Review

Gonzo Gaming | Special
This feature, on pre-relaunch GamePartisan, marked the beginning of what would become our "progressive editorial policy"…read this markedly divergent feature and you will understand completely. Sex, drugs, video games and…Richard Nixon.

No More Heroes | Review
A Japanese take on American culture that deserves, at the very least, a modicum of respect, i.e., a rental by every gamer.
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock | Review
In case you hadn’t caught on yet or are new to the GamePartisan party scene, game name recognition means very little to us: a good game is a good game, an average game is an average game, a bad game is a bad game. Period.

Phil gives us the lowdown on this uncelebrated title from Capcom.
Grand Theft Auto IV | Review
Mark Vincent gave it an 8.5 out of 10. Now we get a second opinion.
Wii Sports | Review
While Wii Sports is not the greatest game ever created, it’s definitely a worthy pack-in with the Nintendo Wii. It does a fantastic job of really showing off the control capabilities of the Nintendo Wii, which is obviously what it was meant to do. In terms of graphics and music, Wii Sports ay fail to impress. But the sports themselves, especially tennis and golf, are quite well done, and control nicely. Especially considering that you’re getting it for free, Wii Sports is a surprisingly fun and satisfying game.
LXG (LastActionGamer.com), GamePartisan ink apparel, sponsorship deals
The latest in a series of changes in corporate strategy and public relations, gaming apparel company LXG (LastActionGamer.com) has entered into an alliance with GamePartisan and will sponsor the site’s reviews indefinitely.
A pairing of companies with equally distinctive visions, the move looks to mutually benefit both parties, with further details to be released as soon as they are confirmed. What is now public knowledge, however, is that both LXG and GP are very excited and optimistic about the future, especially as pertains to their cooperative efforts. LXG being the latest entity to join the GamePartisan Network serves only to benefit the respective audiences of each company.
Further information will likely become available via corporate press release.
As it so happens, LXG has obtained exclusive rights to reproduce the GamePartisan logo on its apparel, with their chief executive stating, "Look for it in mid-summer".
And yes, Tony is offensive to my person.
