Tomb Raider Underworld (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Refinements
from: Eidos

November 21, 2008
I bought this game after downloading the demo on Xbox Live. The demo convinced me straight away that i would want to get this game.
But why? The Tomb Raider series seems to have gone from the dizzying heights of the original through the playstation one versions, until sinking to the depths of Angel of Darkness on PS2. To be honest, i never thought Lara Croft would recover from that horrific game, but with a couple of good games (Legend and Anniversary) produced by Crystal Dynamics, she seemed to be on the road to recovery.
This game is the first Tomb Raider to genuinely feel next-generation.
The motion capture of Lara Croft is very, very impressive. She moves like a real person - she trips, stumbles, jumps, falls and climbs ... Read More:

Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii)

To put it short terrible.
I hated the way it was set out.
I hated the gameplay.
The best thing was the party mode.
Save your money on Zelda or Smash Bros

Guinness Book Of Records: The Videogame (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Refinements
from: Warner Bros. Interactive

November 07, 2008
After playing this at a friends house I can definitely recommend this.

At first I wasn't sure if it would be any good. After playing the excellent Wii Sports, then reading bad reviews about all the similar games that followed, I assumed it would be like all the rest... but it wasn't.

There are loads of different games to play. You move around the world and choose between the different challenges, using inventive motions with the controllers, e.g. cycling, revving a motorbike and trapeze walking.
The games can be serious or crazy, and you get money for competing. This money can be used to unlock more games.

This game is great for parties or when friends are round as you try to beat each others scores. You can also connect it to the ... Read More:

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Refinements
from: Activision

November 16, 2007
So we all love Star Wars, but it's suffered from some slightly ropey video games. But this one is ace. It's very easy to pick up. It's funny but it's also gerat fun. It has replay value, entertainment value and fits in your pocket (well, it does when it's in the DS. If it's not in the DS then the cartridge will fit anywhere.

It's surprisingly addictive. Easy to play through, but much harder to do all the other tasks - finding red bricks, minikit parts etc is tough. So this is highly recommended

Guitar Hero: On Tour (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Refinements
from: Activision

July 18, 2008
Guitar Hero On Tour is not, as many people say, a big disappointment. It is absolutely great!

1: Gameplay. It's so easy to control and simple to understand, you'll be playing in no time

2: Lifespan. It'll take you ages to cmplete everything, so there'll be fun for - literally - months!

3: Variety. There's such a wide range of songs, from Ozzy Osbourne to Santana, from Smash Mouth to Blink 182, from Nirvana to Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Believe me, you won't find all the songs samey!

4: Graphics. Believe it or not, the graphics on DS are extremely good. The guitars are realistic, and the people actually look like people!

5: Fun. ABSOLUTELY GREAT FUN! (Just don't play for too long or you'll get cramp!)

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Refinements
from: Konami

October 31, 2008
The price pretty much sums it up. This is a fairly solid incarnation of the series bearing in mind most of Konami's efforts are going into the Next-Gen versions.

The 'Become a Legend' mode is a nice idea but (as anyone who's played as 'fixed' on the old PESs while the comp controls the rest of the team)has very slow gameplay and frustrating as the AI doesn't learn how you like to play and often does irritating things like giving the ball away cheaply from a pass and wandering into opposition players with the ball at their feet.

Ultimately though if you want a footy game for when the boys (or girls) come round and don't want to/can't fork out for an Xbox 360 or PS3 then this is more than adequate and capable of filling hours with multiplayer fun.

What a major disappointment this game has become. pro (up until number 6) was really only 1 of 2 games i used to play. after eagerly waiting for 2008 and hearing the terrible reviews, for the 1st time even i didn't buy the game.

so a year later and the top guys at konami talking about how they have sorted the problems and have made online...........playable, i once again was eagerly waiting for 2009 to drop and guess what...... i was disappointed.

ball sound - terrible
online - terrible
A.I - terrible
PRO 2009 - TERRIBLE
