Sony's 'unofficial' magazine which I picked up yesterday scores as follows:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars 69%
"A scramble of different levels and vehicles, and varying levels of quality that hang together as effectively as a coat of spaghetti"
FM's Opinion: "Hmm...maybe"
Legends of Wrestling 2 68%
"Hardcore wrestling fans will find a lot to be pleased about, for a bit, but everyone else should ponder carefully before shelling out"
FM's Opinion: "I don't like wrestling games"
Contra: Shattered Soldier 52%
"OK, it's a 'classic', but then so was Warlords of Atlantis - and you wouldn't pay top whack to watch that now, would you?"
FM's Opinion: "Didn't even enjoy the original"
Wild Arms 3 71%
"Surprisingly non-plodding and punchy for a role player, but shallow on plot and frustrating as soon as you hit the world map"
FM's Opinion: "My game of the month, this one"
Silent Hill 2: Directors Cut 89%
"The definitive SH2 package, but its true value can only accurately be gauged in accordance to how 'into' the game you really are."
FM's Opinion: "Get it unless you've already got the original SH2"
The Simpsons Skateboarding 9%
"Worst. Game. Everrr. Nearly. For the love of God, don't ever let Electronic Arts make a Simpsons game again. Appalling."
FM's Opinion: "Agreed"
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance 85%
"A big surprise, a big score, and a sequel that gives Mortal Kombat more than a fighting chance of continued success."
FM's Opinion: "Runner up for my game of the month"
SOS: The Final Escape 81%
"A well-balanced, gripping and, at times, intentionally funny action adventure that deserves to score highly on your Richter scale."
FM's Opinion: "Heard a lot of other people say similar good things about this one, so I'll probably get it".
Import Reviews
Dead to Rights (NTSC Japan) 77%
"OK, so it might reek more than a little of Max Payne, but Dead to Rights has more variety, attitude and innovation"
The Mark of Kri (NTSC US) 74%
"A decent attempt at improving on the hack 'n' slasher. It's enjoyable, but hampered by annoying flaws and its all-too brief nature."
(FM has no opinion on Imports until they get converted to PAL format).

28th Feb according to Sony's official release date list. Could slip by a week or two, they usually do when I use this particular list...
