IGN - Game of the Month, August 2007

Posted by miuki as Games

According to an article by IGN PlayStation Team, their Game of the Month for August 2007 is none other then…

And why Warhawk?

Why We Picked It: Warhawk has been long in the coming, and had a couple major design changes along the way, but the end result was worth the wait. By ditching the single-player portion of the game and focusing solely on its online elements, Incognito was able to put together an extremely polished, extremely fun and extremely addictive multiplayer experience. It will likely stand as the PlayStation 3’s main online gaming draw for some time, and for good reason. And since it’s available for download as well as an in-store purchase, you don’t even need to get off the couch to hop in.

The “Runner-Up“:

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
Developed by Tiburon
Published by Electronic Arts

And the reason for this pick:

Why We Picked It: As his real-life game keeps getting better, so do the EA titles that bear his name. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 ups the ante once again with a bevy of new features, like the EA Sports GamerNet that allows you to set up your own challenges for others to try to conquer. The Shot Confidence mechanic plays into your long-term golfing, and the new championship format mixes things up.

Below are other games worth noting:

1. Piyotama
2. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
3. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
