Call of Duty: World at War (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > 16 years and over
from: Activision

November 14, 2008
All comments for solo play only. I stopped playing far cry to play this one and to start with I was quite impressed with what I was seeing. All the pad controls were logical (to me), graphics looked good and generally the game play was excellent, loved running around with the flame thrower. Then the stupid bits came in like the enemy AI that allowed me to stand right next to an enemy solider whilst killing the rest of the enemy team. Or trying to drive the tank which didn't seem to want to go in any direction I wanted it to. But the most disapointing thing about this game is its length, when I suddenly found that I had completed it I just sat there and thought oh! was that it. If you are not worried about playing a ww2 game but want a ... Read More:

Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for a fiver.

Go to consolegifts.net and sign up. Complete ONE offer- I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!). If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.

All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my Ipod and many other things this way, so don't miss out.

I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. BBC approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.

You choose the games from; PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS Lite or even ... Read More:

Fable II (Xbox 360)

Let me state from the off, Fable 2 is fantastic. An engaging, lush looking RPG that had me absoltely hooked when I started playing it... For as long as I got to play it... because, so tragically, great though it is, this game is insanely short. Short to the point where I wonder if it was actually finished when it got released. I'll get back to this in a moment.

The good with the game is VERY good though. Great visuals, imaginative designs in the cast and the towns and villages that makes titles like Oblivion look empty and bland by comparison. A decent combat system(That perhaps felt a tad too button bashy a little too often), incredible soundtrack and voice acting... I swear, this seemed to have everything at the start... ... Read More:

Call of Duty: World at War (PC)

The multiplayer for WAW is essentially exactly the same as 4. However, it does have a slightly different feel to it. With 4 the games seemed to focus on a few 'choke points' that revolved around each map. This has all but gone and the battles are now far more liquid. The plus of this is the games intensity has increased. The downside of this is you can now spawn and find yourself surrounded by enemies. Enemies can also wander behind your lines relatively easily, so be prepared to get knifed!

Overall this is another very enjoyable, playable COD.

Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip -Wii Fit Compatible (Wii)

If you are new to these sort of skate, ski or surf games like me. This game is for you. It is easy to get into, the instructions are fed to you bit by bit so you can literally jump into it and start smiling. I could'nt believe how perfectly responsive it is. I was even getting a bit of a sweat on do the jumpy bits and when I did make any mistakes I knew it was my fault and needed a bit more practice. The music was good too, there wasn't any embarrasing pop songs on it so I could show my mates in confidence. GREAT FUN! keeps you coming back for more, so you can build youre skills up and get better.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Wii)

September 19, 2008
I got this game for my birthday and thought great! I had seen it on the internet and thought it looked fantastic. When I played it I was still thinking this is awesome. You may be thinking why the 3 stars then? Well I played it and completed it in just a few days, less than 8 hours to be precise. During these hours you can use the wii's motion sensitivity quite well but after 3 or 4 levels you're thinking is there ever going to be a differing level? I mean you go to a planet kill the natives and then kill a boss. Then you go back to your ship get a new boss to kill from Lord Vader, go to their planet kill the natives and then kill the boss. And after this there is nothing to do. Yes there is a duel two player mode but all you have to do is block all the time then ... Read More:

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > 16 years and over
from: Sony

November 07, 2008
The GOOD is the greater variety of tracks and vehicles and it is a lot of fun. I enjoy the offline multiplayer, a good addition. There are new physics which will annoy some people, I prefer Motorstorm 1 physics, but I am adapting.

The BAD; you cannot backup your save data and there are some major bugs, some of which corrupt your save file. So you will lose everything either through a game bug or when (not if - PS3 gamers know where I am coming from) your PS3 breaks down and find a lot of frustration when achievements go unrewarded.

It is potentially a very good game but I would avoid until EVO get some updates out, or accept that all that hard work could be undone or unrewarded in an instant.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (PC DVD)

I bought every C+C game from Amazon and was very excited to see the new one but having read the reviews I have decided to give it a miss, at least until a version is released which allows me to do what I want with it! I believe that once you've paid for a game you should own it and be able to install and re-install as often as you like. My boyfriend must have installed the early games a dozen times by now - all our games are re-installed every time we update the PCs. Also, I don't like spyware so why would I buy a game which forces me to accept it?

Sorry EA, another fan bites the dust!
