"PES 3 marks a real leap forward. Realistic ball touch, transformed animations and sharper AI. The duel with FIFA tilts decisively, and the series enters its golden age."
"Mario Golf Advance Tour on GBA, rich and complete Mario golf simulation. Original RPG-golf adventure, many courses, mini-games. One of the best portable golf games ever made."
