Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games >
from: Nintendo

June 27, 2008
Nintendo have done it again, after the brilliant Super Smash Bros. Melee, I wondered how they were going to top that. And in Brawl, Nintendo topped it with ease. With over 25 characters to choose from, some old and some new. You are spoilt for choice as to what character to go for. There is a very good single player mode, with the Classic Mode making a return. You play against different characters, and the last battle is against a returning enemy: the Master Hand.
The Subspace Emmisary is a nice addition to the game. There is a good storyline that unfolds as you work your way through it. I wont say what the storyline is like, but there was one moment in the storyline that I didn't see coming.
Brawl really comes into it's own in the ... Read More:

Wii Fit (Wii)

You should not pay more than £80 for a Wii Fit. According to my screen it is over £100! Is it just that Amazon are targeting me or are they ripping off everyone just because this is a popular product?! Check out Zavvi or Game stores.

Nintendo Wii Console (Includes Wii Sports)

from: Nintendo

December 08, 2006
Ok, first of all, i will try and deter the wii fanboys here from dismissing my review as 'bias'. I have owned a nintendo wii since launch day and have always liked nintendo's products. However although i was pleased with the wii for a small amount of time, for months now it has been gathering dust under my tv.

First the games. Nintendo does it everytime. The exclusives are very hyped and some of them rightly so. I thoroughly enjoyed Zelda until the wolf levels bored me and Mario Kart wii is always fun with friends. Metroid is good because of the controls but lack of variation lets it down as the weapons and enemies become repetitive. Then probably the wii game with the most amount of hype, Super smash bros brawl. I only just got it and it ... Read More:

Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller add-on (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games >
from: Nintendo

December 08, 2006
A nunckuk is a simple atachment to the Wii remote that gives you extra control over a game.So far 4 out of 6 of my games need it.If it has a nunchuk icon in the top-right corner of the box it needs it for all or part of the game.You get one free with the console,but you can get another for multiplayer. Here are some notes:
1.The control stick has a special feature:you can move it a little bit and it does the action a little bit,like a steering wheel!
2.The upper button is called "c" and the lower button is called "z" so if you see c and z mentioned in reviews you`ll know what they`re talking about. Don`t get them the wrong way round!
3.It fits in your hand perfectly-no need to worry about it being uncomfortable.
4.Don`t put the control ... Read More:

Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games >
from: Rockstar

April 29, 2008
As with others I eagerly awaited the release of GTA IV. I'd played all the previous games so there was alot of living up to do.

To be totally honest, when I first started playing this game, I did feel as though it was lacking something. BUT...after giving it some time it has won me over.

The graphics are clearly superb...the best of any game I have played. The driving is fantastic...hard to begin with, but after some time it becomes second nature. After going back onto GTA SA and VC the driving is marginally better in GTA IV.

The missions are brilliant...just the same as the type of missions we have come to love. There are some pretty meaty side missions too (racing, assassinations, drug dealing, taxi driving, police most wanted ... Read More:

Big Beach Sports (Wii)

my sister brought me this for my birthday and i have found it really good. The first thing you need to do is create a character which is nice and easy. You can then also connect to a nintendo DS to draw the facial features for your player which is great fun!

There are 6 games on big beach sports which is just a nice amount. They are asy to play but enjoyable.

Battlefield: Bad Company (Gold Edition) (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games >
from: Electronic Arts

June 27, 2008
Battlefield: Bad Company is one of those games that just gets it right when it comes to making the gameplay fun and addictive and offers so much variety in a huge sandbox world. The single player campaign is a decent length, the graphics are pretty sweet an dsome of the motion capture is the best I have seen in a game yet. The characters are likeable guys, you don't get to really know a great deal about them you just know that you like them and they will make you laugh.

The single player campaign takes these four guys on a journey to find some Gold and offers diverse and very large battlefields with some really nice graphics, an array of vehicles, weapons, special abilities and completely destructable buildings to mould into your own game. Each and every time you restart ... Read More:

Sony Playstation 3 Console (40GB Version)

October 10, 2007
Ive had my PS3 a while now and I've decided to do a review for it. Now I've owned the 360 for a few months before deciding to let my brother buy it off me so I could get a PS3 and I also own a Wii. I must say that all three consoles are superbly built and designed and have great games on offer. I love both my WII and PS3 and I have great fun on both machines. The PS3 is obviously for more serious gaming, where as the Wii is for fun (although there are several serious games for it which I do own), but I enjoy both. The PS3 I thought was and is still a bit pricey but nevertheless I am happy with what I have got. It's a big console but a nice smooth looking console that offers some great options. Graphics that it produces are absolutely beautiful (depending on the game publishers), the controls, ... Read More:
