Scrabble 2007: New Edition (Nintendo DS)

from: Ubisoft

September 13, 2007
I have owned this game for a few months now, but still love it as much as I did the first day I bought it. It has its flaws but you can still find it a rewarding experience, for example I thought I would find being unable to see the whole screen at once a bit of a downer, but I hardly notice it I am too preoccupied trying to beat my nemesis - Camilla. I have only managed to beat Camilla twice in several months of trying (the second time was today, the first time about seven weeks ago) and I play on average two or three times a day, which means the game is still an exciting challenge and there is still one better player to go after her, I don't think I will ever get tired of this game! This game is a fun challenge regardless of your skill level ... Read More:

Puzzler Collection (Nintendo DS)

from: Ubisoft

August 01, 2008
This a great puzzle pack......BUT I do find it very difficult to get it actually to get to the puzzle or game.The opening list of things to press to tell the DS to start up the chosen game seems to be over complicated.I do sometimes find I spend more time getting the thing up and running,hence have lost much playing time,and I certainly cannot pick it up casually play a short game or do a crossword unless I have plenty of time.Once it is in the puzzle mode all is fine......but then I am loathed to switch it off knowing I will have to go through the whole drama to start it up again !!!!!

This game is ammazing. The best fighter on PS3? No. Best Fighter On XBOX 360? No. Best Fighter ever? Yes!!! I like the fact that you can create your own character and battle with them online. Very challenging and very fun! A must have for PS3!

Soul Calibur IV (Xbox 360)

from: Ubisoft

August 01, 2008
I think, the main problem with Soul Calibur IV is, that, with the step into the 7th generation of videogames, the era of super awesome graphics and mainstream online gaming, the game tries so hard to fit in with the crowd, it has lost it's a way a little.

This isn't to say Soul Calibur IV isn't a good game, it is, it's a great game, in fact, and I recommend you buy it, I just don't feel it's as good as the previous titles in the great series, and no amount of Star Wars characters can convince me otherwise.

What I had noticed, is that, well there's a distinct lack of things to actually do. Single player modes are very limited. With only Arcade, which is fun, but only there to earn money. Story, the very title is an overstatement, ... Read More:

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 (Xbox 360)

from: Ubisoft

March 20, 2008
I must admit this game looked great, i enjoyed the first one so naturally thought this would be just as good but probably better.

Unfortunately i played this after playing COD4 and Bioshock, so the cartoony graphics did nothing for me, even irritating me at times. I dont understand why one team can develop amazing Photo realisic backgrounds and another can't?
Anyway getting away from that i was quite impresses with the squad control on the first level. The characters did as i asked and were very useful. From then on they become frustrating, considering Rainbow Six is all about the squad, why wont they do as you ask??
I spent countless times dying after i had asked a team member to go somewhere / do something and they wouldnt!!

Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360)

from: Ubisoft

November 16, 2007
I heard so much about this game being brilliant that I purchased it on friday. It was back at the store on the monday being exchanged for something that I would actually enjoy.

I don't deny that the graphics are quite possibly the most stunning thing I've ever seen, but while they might help it along it's the gameplay that makes a game brilliant. This is far from brilliant.

The first mission will epp you interested, the second may do, but by the third you realise that the whole stealth issue can just be completley ignored and you can simply hack and slash your way through the missons and complete them in double quick time. I also found the controls finaky at best, especially the gentle move command, which (on the training mission I have to add) had ... Read More:

Assassin's Creed (PS3)

from: Ubisoft

November 16, 2007
This game is good if you can think things through really well (the ending really confused me) and if you want to do it really steathily. Ok its fun in some parts bt as others have said its really repiditive. If you like the sound of it rent it out first then consider buying it. Overall its Ok

My Spanish Coach Level 1 - Learn To Speak Spanish (Nintendo DS)

from: Ubisoft

November 23, 2007
I bought this product to help me learn some basic spanish as I was childminding Spanish Children over the summer.
Unlike most Language courses available for self teaching this did not focus on basic holiday phrases like getting to and from the airport. I really liked this aspect as I was not going on holiday!
The games are simple and fun and really help in learning the basic words!

Another aspect which is really great is the fact that you cant advance a level without being good at the current level. I like this as it stops me from being lazy and skipping hard bits!

The only critisism I have about this game is the start of it. The software tests your spanish to begin with to assess which level you should be starting at. I did really well at ... Read More:

My Health Coach: Manage Your Weight with Free Pedometer (Nintendo DS)

from: Ubisoft

June 20, 2008
I love this! I am terminally unfit and overweight and have just joined a gym again for the first time in ages. This "game" actually makes me want to come home and log my results! I feel like there is someone who cares and pats me on the back when I have done well (altho my husband does do this as well!). I like the fact that the food just needs to balance - ie not spending ages detailing every little thing you eat - just a healthy balance.

I think it's fab!

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WW II (Wii)

from: Ubisoft

March 23, 2007
I Have to say I bought this game with high expectations and was not disapointed, not only are the campaign levels easily playable with great graphics but the standalone games and multiplayers are completly addictive. I took this game round a mates house who was a little skeptical about it we played into the wee hours of the morning he is now ordering his own copy.

I have to say to any gamers who like WWII games you will love this hell if you love gaming you'll love this. My advice if you own a Wii own this game.
