Nintendo 64 Console - Grey

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


The Nintendo 64 was the first console I bought with my own money (I'm talking about 1998). I still remember saving up loads of pocket money for this, and only managing to buy the console which came with one remote (those awesome remotes!) and no game. The first time I saw the N64 was at a friend's house, he had imported it from the USA. Just the shape of it gave me goose-bumps! The fact it had 4 ports for remotes allowing 4 people to play simultaneously was the most attractive aspect of it, until I saw the graphics on Mario Kart 64! We played for hours, non-stop, and I yearned for the console to be on sale in Europe so I could get my hands on one. My first game was FIFA 64. Legendary. I do not want to think of how many hours I spent exploring ... Read More:

Super Mario 64

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


I first got my N64 for my 10th birthday in 1997, and i still remember being blown away and the main reason why i was blown away was mario 64. This game is just perfection, it is just the perfect platformer. Critics back in the day said this game was going to be a big risk mario in 3d? he was always 2d the way it should be. How wrong those critics were this game still to this day is just so much fun to play the graphics are incredible for the time at the time nothing came close to this game. This game brings back alot of great memories from when i was a kid and i just love it. So in conclusion this is in my opinion the greatest game of all time and long live Nintendo's Italian mascot.

Age Of Empires III (Mac)

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

September 29, 2006
Let me clear things up here - Age of Empires III is a slightly simplified game when compared to it's predecessor, the Age of Kings, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. It is by far one of my favourite games... the civilizations are balanced and the online is great (and active). It manages to be easy to learn, but hard to master. I have been playing for about 6 months now and have only recently worked out how to properly use the British to their full advantage. Great stuff.

Pros

Beautiful graphics
Balanced gameplay
Epic musical score
Challenging online

Cons

Online can cut out and disconnect at times
Doesn't use Ensemble Studios Online as in the PC version

Pokémon: Blue - Gotta Catch `em all (Game Boy)

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


Its hard to believe looking back, that this game caused so much of a stir in the playground. Pokemon Red and Blue where a big deal during the mid 90's, and it was the game that really absored kids into a great adventure.
The layout of the game itself is simple, which I guess helped the popularity. But it was more of the objective that took sold the game - you had to become the 'best' pokemon trainer, and this could be done by winning lots and lots fights with other trainers.
I won't even go into what 'Pokemon' are (japanese for Pocket Monsters - hence they are kept in Pokeballs...) but to make it simple, their just creatures that are trained up and used for fighting other Pokemon. On your travels, you can catch Pokemon by using Pokeballs you may buy, and ... Read More:

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (PS3)

I love dragonball z and was really excited when I found out about this game, I would say the story is lacking a bit and for people who aren't dbz fans is a bit hard to follow. But I think this game is intended for dbz fans and being one myself I would give this 8 out of 10 as there could be more characters, on the whole I would say this is a good game.

Having played the n64 version of this game when i was about 6 i found it quite hard but when i was 12 i thought id give it another shot as i got master quest with wind waker(both of which are fantastic) i can honestly say this is the best game ever its so good i have it for n64, gamecube and wii all of which i still play (at 14 years old). im lucky enough to own all the consoles which i have all the best games for (halo 3, gta 4, metal gear solid 4, twilight princess etc) even with all of these this is still the best out of them all by a mile of, if you havnt played this then buy the legend of zelda collectors edition from amazon you not only get this but you get majoras mask and 2 other classic zelda games and i promise when you finally complete the game you will want to get wind ...

Pokémon Crystal

from: Nintendo

November 01, 2001
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R193MABNNS2R4D My first video review ever, so sorry about the bouts of unprofessionalism or hesitation.

Few things to add:
At some points in the video, I was mumbling and at one stage to me it sounded as if I said 360 pokemon, when I said 260, so sorry for any mumbling in the video, things are not what they seem!

Also an addition to my review: Yes the Pokemon Crystal graphics are no way as good as the newer games, but like I said, its all about the classic style, and once you play the game, you definitely will stop caring about the graphics.

If you can't be bothered raising your pokemon up to level 100 well here is the easy way{if you want to} Get any item from your back pack, like a {Rare Candy} put it at the 6th or 7th{sorry a can't remember} place down from the top of your back pack,Go to viridan city, talk to the guy who tells how to catch pokemon{The old man}.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Other Platforms
from: Take 2 Interactive

October 10, 2008
With more overall drive-space than the last midnight club's three maps combined, this looks like another brilliant street racing game from Rockstar.
Im afraid i don't know much more than that at the moment, but I know that if it's anywhere near as good as the earlier installments in this series then I am gonna be in for one hell of a ride when I get it. and belive me, i AM getting this.

Recommended for fans of: Any other midnight club title, street racing in general
