Europa Universalis III (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games

February 02, 2007
This game is of a mind blowing quality. The detail and possability is truly endless. If you get board ruling the world with one nation, which in ti's self is an incredible chalenge, you can just play as a different country.

As a personal recomendation i would say that new players should start off playing as France, England, Burgandy, Spain or Russia. The Ottomans are also good but always end up at war with Russia.

As a new player to the EU games i found it impossible to get started without reading through the tutorials. As a visualy impared gamer the lack of speach was a chalenge and after making my eyes sore trying to read them for nearly 20 minutes I had to ask my mother to read them to me. Once I had read the tutorials ... Read More:

Timeshift (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games

November 02, 2007
I bought this game new from one of Amazons suppliers for £4.16! Yes, insane and it turns out to be one of the all time best FPS I've ever played. It's better than HL2 and far better than Crysis, and looks just as good even though it is DirectX 9.0c. It runs on Vista 32 bit perfectly and does not have any nasty DRM or protection drivers (like Starforce). It looks amazing and is a fantastic shooter with really great weapons. Also despite having an auto-save feature, you can can save at any time, so avoids all that having to redo sections again and again.
It's so good I've just removed COD4 from my computer and put it up for sale on Amazon. At this crazy price is really the bargain of the year. Fantastic.

Battlefield 2142: Deluxe Edition (PC DVD)

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

January 18, 2008
Seriously this Game is amazing. I've had absolutly no problem connecting, and downloading the expansion pack was a sinch.

Plus I don't undertand what all this adware fuss it about. I did my research and there is no adware or spyware istalled. The advertising is simply what EA call 'Active adverts' which are adverts on billboards ingame, added securely over BF's master server. THAT'S IT, nothing dangerous to your computer.

Granted, the offline is absolutlly apauling, but since when has a PC BF attepmted to do that? Online = unrivaled.

Also worth mentioning, I use Vista and BF2142 works like a dream. Honestly for one of the best FPS experiences, and at a none too shabby price. look no further. 5/5

Halo: Combat Evolved (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games

Halo Combat Evolved is a great improved over the Xbox original. The fact it has the multiplayer option makes a good way to practice your skills, or even just to have fun when not doin campaign mode. It also can use a joypad which means there is more than just one way to control the game. The graphics are good, and run on pretty much any graphics cards - this is a good game for lower spec laptops, and therefore I would recommend it to anyone interested!

Civilization IV (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Take 2 Interactive

November 04, 2005
...who should really have read the description of the game before buying it. Civilisation's always been turn based strategy and it really seems more your problem if you've bought something in a genre that you don't like.

The game itself is fantastic, the very epitomy of 'just one more turn' and begs the question of whether there will be a Civ V. Firaxis have got it right and I can't see how, barring minor tinkering, they can improve this.

In short, if you like turn-based strategy, this game is up there with Football Manager in eating your life. If you don't like turn-based strategy, read the product description.

Microsoft Train Simulator (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Empire

November 25, 2005
This is still a better and more accuarate simulation than the newer Rail Simulator. The artwork is dated by current standards. However, the editors included allow you to tailor the routes and content to suit.

Plenty of quality add-ons. At this price is GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY and still the leading rail sim!

Trust Compact Vibration Feedback Steering Wheel GM-3200 (PC/PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Trust


I ordered this steering wheel to replace my MS Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel which I thought was superb, but as it used the older gameport interface was no longer compatible with my PC. I have to say, whilst it's relatively cheap, it's actually quite a nice steering wheel, and feels more expensive than it's price would suggest. The materials are of decent quality, the feel is good, and the pedals which can make or break a wheel/pedal combo are good as well with enough travel to be precise. The wheel has a sucker which isn't much use but the supplied clamp stops any movement whilst in use albeit a pain to use compared to the MS clamp.

Unusually, it also allows you to alter the sensitivity on the wheel directly which is something you normally need to do in the game itself. ... Read More:
