Left 4 Dead (PC DVD)

Whilst I agree with some of the reviews here. I do think there is a lot of hype for this game when most people have only played the demo.
Yes this game is well made and great fun to play (for a while). The first few times of playing I really was on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next hoard of zombies to attack me. I have not seen this type of close co-op before in a game and it is very refreshing. The 4 main characters have there own personalities and add a nice touch to the game, also they have a very good AI system.
So all good then?....Well not quite

I just felt the whole game to be too repetitive. You go from one scene to another blasting your way through exactly the same hoard of zombies that you did in ... Read More:

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 'All-Play' (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Electronic Arts Games
from: Electronic Arts

Tiger Woods 09 is basically a decent all round game. It feels as though you are playing golf. The graphics (for the Wii) are pretty good. You can create your own golfer, jump straight into the game and play as you try to improve your own created player. Where the game does fall down is in the putting. Yes it can be very frustrating, too many people have commented on it for it not to be the case. The constant changing of putter lengths, the continous lipping out or even worse going straight over the hole turning a round of 63 into a 68 can become very annoying, but unfortunately that is just the way it is and yes you can get used to it. All in all a good game that could have, should have been better.

FIFA 09 (Xbox 360)

I really don't agree with all the critism towards this game. Their have been vast improvements not to mention the inredible amount of realistic stadiums and for a lower league supporter (Urrrrrrz) i was delighted with the graphic levels of the lower teams. All that about "their is a set way to score" is rubbish. It will only be that way if you play that way also to say the celebrations are poor is stupid their are loads of realistic celebrations. Overall i think is a great game.

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 PSP. ... Read More:

FIFA 09 All-Play (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Electronic Arts Games
from: Electronic Arts

October 03, 2008
Fifa 09 is a great inprovement over last year. The only really problem is that the 8 v 8 Footii is very addictive, and that may not sound like a problem, but you'll hardly ever find yourself on the real football game. The All-Play system is a great addition for beginners as the computer moves for you. That may sound disaterous and if one person is using a nunchuk it can be, but if you're all using wiimotes then it's great fun.

Overall it's a great game. The 8 v 8 is addictive and makes the normal footy seem boring and redundent. 5 star fun rating and 4 star overall because of the boring normal footy.

P.S: If you like to play the normal footy the simple thing to do is avoid 8 v 8 like you would a hunting knife.

Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360)

Genius. Take a shed load of zombies (and then some) mix in some half life and a large helping of gauntlet and you have left 4 dead.
The graphics are solid but not on par with the likes of gears of war but the lighting is excellently done. Multiplayer is at the heart of the game and while solo play gives you 3 computer controlled allies the real fun is multi player. The bots are a bit more useful than many human controlled players will be but when more players cotton on to the fact that going it solo will end in a painful death, the co operative made will actually end up being more co operative. Best enjoyed in games with your online buddies so you can rib each other over the stupid things you do.

MySims : Kingdom (Wii)

I loved the first MySims for Wii, it was so innocent and hours of fun. I particularly liked its versatility in furniture designs and the loveable characters that link with the DS version, and this new MySims does not disappoint! We have more adorable characters, with some characters coming along from the original like Chef Gino and Buddy. This game focuses much less on building furniture and more on a variety of challeneges. The gameplay is less linear than the first one and with less repetition. In this game, once you've learnt to build say, a sofa, you can build as many as you like instantly, without needed to put all the blocks together again. There are some lovely touchs like being able to mill flour in the machine you just fixed or ride he mechanical bull you powered with gears ... Read More:

As always,Fifa 09 is very enjoyable.I was also pleased to see that EA SPORTS waited for the end of the Summer Transfer Window.The reason why I have marked this game down is because there are so many skills and features that they include on PS3 and Xbox 360.The first thing is you can't have control over the players goal celebration.I would really enjoy controlling my players delight.The second thing is that there are quite a few new skills that you can do for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and I would love to be able to trick defenders.Actually,there aren't any(apart from casual controls that I can't see the point in)new skills for the PS2 version.But overall I think that it is a fun game.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 (PS3)

There are three fundamental problems with this game:

(i) The frame rate is abysmal, which is ironic considering the graphics are decent but nothing special. Compared to Gran Turismo Prologue, it is very poor. This also makes using the 3-click system very frustrating.

(ii) There is nothing radically different from Tiger Woods 2008. If you can play 2008 well, you will instantly be good at this game.

(iii) In general terms, the game is far too easy. You can hit the ball much too far. You can make ridiculous scores, even with the putting assistance turned off. When you play online, it is just not much fun because everyone whacks the ball 400 yards off the tee, and most of the clubs are obsolete most of the time.

It's quite an enjoyable knockabout ... Read More:
