Advance Wars: Dual Strike (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

September 30, 2005
I'll keep this short. I heard many good things about the prequels on the GBA, but dismissed them as I don't like strategy games. But when offered this for a measly ten pounds from a friend I thought 'What the hell' and bought it.

It's addictive, deep, and oh so much of a joy to play. It is very challening and requires you to develop a strategy but it really is worth your time even if you don't usually like these games. Battles can be very long but there is no time limit so you can take as long as you like, perfect for when you are half watching TV, half playing the game! you can even save mid-battle if needs be.

Believe the hype, believe the reviews, its fantastic.

Super Nintendo Controller - SNES Control Pad

from: Nintendo


17 years on and my original SNES still operates perfectly. I think overal, the SNES package is one of the best made consoles in the past couple of decades, and the pad is no exception - it's simple design does away with chunky buttons, and its incredibly slim, which allows for better grip than other pads; even slimmer than rival Sega pads of the time.

A few things may have put people off it though - the buttons, as I said, are not too springy, which could get a little tedious for frantic games, as it's hard to tell how much pressure you're applying. The only other thing is the the L and R Shoulder buttons could be a little closer to the sides too.

Pokémon LeafGreen - Includes Free GBA Wireless Adapter (GBA)

from: Nintendo

October 01, 2004
This game is great there is lots to do and lots of Pokemon to catch.The game gets quite agitating because you keep meeting the same wild Pokemon. The graphics could be a bit more 3d. Overall this is a game is great and it takes a long time to complete.

Metroid Prime (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

March 21, 2003
I have had this for a while and really haven't bothered with it too much,why?
If I had seen past the overhyped reviews I would have seen a game that has,very few save points that have to be traipsed back to time and time again,respawning enemies the minute you leave/re-enter a room,combine this with the lack of save points and it's a nightmare to save your game should you just want to switch it off,the developers obviously thought you wouldn't want to do anything else!
You have to scan everything by changing visors constantly back and forth,why it wasn't passive is beyond me,and you can get lost quite easily as you flitter to and fro doing one of the above.
In it's defense,the controls are very good,the graphics are crisp and solid ... Read More:

Metroid Prime Hunters (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

May 04, 2006
First of all i love the WI-FI! It never gets boring !!! :)
I don't know what that other guys title was about "BIG DISSAPOINTMENT"
I'm not that much of a Metrioid fan anyway and i stilled adoured it.... It might be a bit hardcore for some...
But still great!! I love this game to bits! In adventure mode you have to do all sorts of stuff such as
scan, shoot, and on alot of bits escape in your ship, and the bosses are really fun!!!


Highly Highly Reccommended!!!!!!!

Super Mario Land (GBC)

from: Nintendo


When I was younger my brother bought a gameboy at a carboot sale along with this game, I thought it was really ace, I would spend hours trying to complete the missions. I recently bought a gameboy advance sp and found mario in the loft. I was suprised to see that I still found it a really amusing game and thought it looked even better in colour. The amazing thing bout gameboy games is how long they last. This game is definately worth buying!!

Nintendo 59 Slot Memory Card (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

May 03, 2002
I first owned one of these Memory Card's when I first got the Nintendo Gamecube along with Luigi's Mansion! Having that alone was no problems, as Luigi's Mansion only requires 3 Blocks to save data! However, when I obtained more Nintendo Gamecube games, for example Super Mario Sunshine (7 Blocks Required), Super Smash Bros. Melee (11 Blocks Required Without Snapshots), Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (11 Blocks Required), and Pikmin (19 Blocks Required), I was at a stage thinking to myself "How the heck am I going to store all this saved data onto this small Memory Card, it's just Unreal! You need dozens of Memory Card's to do this!" This was however until I found the 251 Block Memory Card and to put it in my opinion, that 251 Block Memory Card saved my life!

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (GBA)

from: Nintendo

May 06, 2005
The magical adventure continues.... on the GBA! Yes the series goes to an unexpected turn to your favorite portable console. Unfortunatly it's gone a bit 2-D apart from the occasional 3-D cutscene.
One thing makes this game stand out from the other KH games. Everything is (cleverly) done with cards! To progress to other worlds you use cards! To fight heartless you use cards. Even to open doors you use cards.That's how things work in the mysterious Castle Oblivion.It may sound confusing but once you've learn't and got the hang of it you'll really like it!
Some of the Disney worlds may seem a bit of a joke or just recycled from the original game but in Castle Oblivion everything becomes new and exciting!
So pick up a copy of the brdge between Kingdom Hearts ... Read More:

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (Wii)

from: Nintendo

March 14, 2008

I played this game before its prequel: Path of Radiance for the Gamecube.
In the beginning the story and characters seemed uninspiring, the dialogue wooden and juvenile. How could anyone care for the Dawn Brigade? Leonardo, Edward, Nolan, so shockingly poor characters do I seldom see. Also the whole presentation seemed flawed. Outdated graphics, unmemorable music, bad voice-acting, still pictures and lifeless images.
Little by little I grew into the game, and after a while I was no longer bothered by the things which I mentioned. The story, characters and dialogue all improved as the game moved on, particularily in part III.
A new to the series, the game felt immensely difficult at times, but it was mostly for not thinking ahead and trying to move too fast. On second ... Read More:
