Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (Wii)

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

August 31, 2007
This is generally a very good game.

The graphics are not so bad for the wii, and finally it actually recognises a straight swing!

There a a few flaws in the game, such as, in some situations, you can't change the club and end up hitting the ball out of bounds.

I find the game great fun playing with friends, but haven't really played the single player.

Overall, good golfing fun,

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith - Solus (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games Hardware
from: Activision

June 27, 2008
Yes, it's Aerosmith. That alone nearly dissuaded me from buying it but they're a guilty pleasure and when you nail the solo from Run DMC's version of Walk This Way, it still gives that all-important buzz (it did for me at least!).

The tracklisting split between the title band and the rest is about 70/30. Along with Aerosmith you get songs from The Clash (hurrah!), Lenny Kravitz (*shiver*) and Stone Temple Pilots (aw yeah...). It's a reasonable selection but unless you're a riffaholic, I'd suggest waiting for Guitar Hero: World Tour, which is released in October/November. And that game has The Eagles and Sublime to look forward to as well as the whole band thang a la, erm...Rock Band.

So, there you are. If you're still angry ... Read More:

Sony Playstation Eye Camera with EyeCreate (PS3)

I bought this camera a few weeks ago and it's great! I bought three games from PSN and they are great fun with the camera. When you wave your arms infront of it the camera picks it up so well, even the tiny movements. And lets not forget the built in microphone. I use it for online play and it works fine, if you have this you do not need a headset as the mic is great. The software you get bundled with it is also a great piece of kit. 5 STARS

The Simpsons (PS2)

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

November 02, 2007
Whilst the game looks good and has features which could make the game fun, the absolutely awful camera/visibility makes the game frustrating and almost impossible to play. Trying to jump on ledges is so difficult because you cannot rotate the camera 360 degrees to see where you want to go. A big disappointment.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games Hardware
from: Konami

October 26, 2007
I have been playing Pro Evolution Soccer games since the first one came out for Playstation 2 some years ago and have been buying the updated games yearly up until Pro Evo 5. So when the new edition for the PS3 was released I couldn't wait as finally I was looking forward to playing it online most of all and was my main reason for buying it.

Firstly though to the single player game: My initial reaction is somewhat disappointed as I feel that the gameplay feels slowly and not as crisp and exciting as the PS2 versions. The are very additions as compared to FIFA 08 which has much more depth and challenges. But for the time being I can cope with these niggles as it was the online features I was mostly concerned about.

Online is a huge disappointment ... Read More:

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (Wii)

from: Nintendo

I love this game. It gets you right into the action from the beginning. When I have parties, this games really gets the mood up. All I have to do is to hand them the wiimote and tell them to hold it as the picture shows at the beginning of each minigame and off we go. The learning curve is pretty short and after a short attempt in the beginning with them sporting confused faces and generating laughter all around, things get a little more competitive and we come up with punishment and dares of the one who gets the lowest score on the same level on the single player.

As for the complaints of the negative reviews, I have to disagree. The cut scenes are easily skipped by pressing the A button after having played through the first time. By modifying the single player mode to ... Read More:

Singstar '80s (PS2)

i have most of the singstar games, and out of all of them, this was probably my favourite...even though I'm 13 and wasn't even born in the eighties! i know most of the songs, as they are the sort of songs that are often played in movies, at discos, played in my house etc. Some of the most well known include Tainted Love, Eye of The Tiger, Atomic, Wake Me Up (before you go-go)... you can play with friends or by yourself, meaning there is nowhere to hide! So come on, buy Singstar 80s and get singing!
