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 ... Read More:

Little Big Planet (PS3)

As soon as you go through the tutorial you just know this game is something special. Even the levels in the game are great, it takes some time to get every single object and the leader boards add that extra something for the people who want to make a name out there. Media Molecule have created a game that is truly ingenious. Once you've completed the single player campaign you can go and create your own levels. I tried my hand at this and it truly is astounding, the amount of depth and detail you can add to your level is simply amazing. The worse thing is I haven't even scratched the surface of the tools.

The ability to use my eyetoy to add my personal touch to my levels is great. One some disappointment is the ability to ... Read More:

Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)

from: Rockstar

Great game

In response to some of the other reviewers I find the driving more of a challenge as I dislike the more arcade-style driving games. I find the shooting cover system works really well and I haven't come across any faults, even though I bought the game the day it came out.

I have given the game 5 stars overall because of the pure beauty of Liberty City. Sure, it may not have the best graphics, but the scenes are magnificent. Only four stars for fun as the off-line play does get boring after a while, but the online play can be mental.

Hope the next game comes out soon, and that it does inherit a mix of IV's beauty and San Andreas's huge map and absolute craziness. A Mercs 2 style "blow everything up" game engine would ... Read More:

Resistance 2 (PS3)

(I brought this game from the US before English release)
Coming from a person who has played Halo 2/3 many a time at mates houses and who really doesn't believe it deserves the praise it gets "A True Halo Beater" could seem a little bias. The reason why I bring this up then is because the first game R:FOM was dubbed as PS3's answer to Halo. But even though I don't think Halo is all that I really didn't think R:FOM was close to Halo. However it was clear that R:FOM had potential, and with the second one the makers really have created something that is better bolder and bigger. (And I really do mean BIGGER!)
The first two levels are breath taking. When you first come out to see the chimera ships covering San Francisco you'll be amazed at the level of detail and ... Read More:

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 (PS3)

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

August 29, 2008
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:

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games
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.

Bioshock (PS3)

from: Take 2 Interactive

October 17, 2008
Bioshock is one of the best games I've played on the PS3, and certainly one of the best first person shooters. It's also one of the few games that I'd consider playing again from start to finish.

One of the game's highlights is its original and fascinating setting. The story takes place in the year 1960, in an underwater city called Rapture. The city was built by Andrew Ryan as a utopia for like-minded individuals with an unwavering belief in free enterprise and laissez faire capitalism. Yet the city they have built for themselves has fallen apart. It is here that Jack (the character you play) enters the scene.
Jack's plane crashes in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and he finds himself at the very gates of Rapture. Taking a bathysphere to the city, he finds himself stuck in a society ... Read More:
