Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

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:

Top Spin 3 (PS3)

If you loved 'Virtua Tennis 3' (which is arcadey & user friendly), you probably find this game frustrating. However if you're a huge tennis fan, you'll love this game (as it's pretty darn addictive) but kinda disappointed that the player roster is pretty poor.

Good:

1) Graphics - it's quite stunning, crowds look lifelike (& so does the players), there's also a nice touch of detail such as players gets dirty (especially they play on clay), sweat are sometimes visible, even the weather condition changes (like from sunny to cloudy) throughout the match. Obviously rain are excluded from the game, how annoying would it be if it starts chucking it down when you're serving the for the match?

What I enjoyed the most ... Read More:

Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

After Super Mario Sunshine it seemed like Nintendo couldn't ever possibly top the awesome achievement that was Super Mario 64. They had tried to incorporate the infamous FLUDD jetpack and...well, it didn't work as well as had been hoped. And then there was THAT camera. Clearly Nintendo, on the latest evidence, gave the drawing board a good dusting off and decided to start from scratch.

And the end result is simply one of the most incredible experiences any gamer will ever have. It leaves you wondering just how Nintendo are capable of making such things possible. Whether it's the lollipop visuals, which are stunning and run at a constant 60fps. Or the mindbending level design. The trademark controls, tight, responsive and effortless. And finally, the ...

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Game of the Year Edition) (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Other Platforms
from: Activision

As the other reviewers have said Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the best game around at the moment; stunning graphics, awsome gameply and outstanding online mode!

But don't waste money on the more expensive Game Of The Year Edition!! The only thing it has over the normal version is 4 extra multiplayer maps, these can be bought on the PS Store and added on to the basic version. This will save you money!

So definately buy this game, you will love it i guarantee, just don't get this version!!!!

To begin with,Athens 2004 was a brilliant game, and i was really looking forward to a nezt-generation olympic game. i had mixed thoughts.

i will not go in to some much details as many other reviewers have already commented on the bad points and many of the good points.

what i will say is if youre expecting this game to be as good as athens dont buy it.

But for a rainy afternoon, or for a bit of a challenge, Rent it, or but it and you will have a bit of fun with some of the events.

Lasting Appeal 7/10
Graphics 8/10
Gameplay 6/10
Sound 6/10
Overall 6.75/10

Fantastic graphics and gameplay. Realistic dynamics and good cars (have not driven all so cannot say they are brilliant just yet). Only bad point is that it is only single-player although multiplayer mode makes up for it.

Purchased two of these cards from Amazon.co.uk, supplied through indigostarfish.com, an amazon partner. Tried to upload them and found that they were the wrong region and so they could not be used. Technical support suggested buying locally and not from the internet if you want to be sure.

World of Warcraft (Mac/PC)

You just gotta try this game, pray to the gods you dont like it.

I quit playing this game and took up real life just over 4 months ago, life is better now that I am free.

I've racked up 4000 hours play time over the past 1.5 years, that's 166 days, nearly 6 months constant play time... I obviously totally mastered the game, made hundreds of friends, yes friends, (they might be online but I still know, respect and talk to them like I would any other friend). Because of this game I lost my families respect, my girlfriend and did much worse in my GCSE's.

In a sense I do not regret buying it, but life is better without... believe me.

I don't class myself as a gamer or a geek but yet this game destroyed me. Don't be fooled, this game is near impossible ... Read More:

Diablo II (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Other Platforms
from: Blizzard Entertainment


or 4... At least I think that's how long I spent playing Diablo II in every spare moment I could find, I'm not sure, I kinda lost track of time for a bit.

The concept behind making Diablo II so popular is ridiculously simple. Make an engine that can generate nearly infinite numbers of uniquely different magical items and people will play until the end of time trying to obtain a sword or a suit of armour that's just that little bit better than what you already have.

The stories and cut scenes that drive the game forward and link the various Acts are superbly done and contribute in some way to dispelling the "nothing but a clickfest" label that the Diablo games have been cast as.

Many spells and abilities are only available at level 30 or above and to fully appreciate these players ... Read More:
