Nintendogs Dalmatian & Friends (Nintendo DS)

After seeing my child struggle for over 40 minutes to get the nintendo machine to recognise the name she was calling (has to happen more than three times) and allow her to type it in, I felt compelled to warn other parents. It is a shame, its a good game which has been completely killed off by unnecessary voice recognition security. I hope someone from nintendo is listening, I am sure people have returned this game due to this design fault.

I have this game on my iPod and I love it! I don't know if it's different on the DS but if it's the same I would definitely recommend to you!

WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 (Xbox 360)

It pains me to give a Raw vs Smackdown game a bad review but I have to because I was lied to.

All the reviews, previews and adverts tell you is it's all about the tag teams, tag tag tag that's all you hear, so I thought, fantastic a tag story mode.

Yeh there's a tag story mode, for Batista and Rey...... that's it.

If you don't want to go Rey and Batista, tough luck, they are the only ones you can go for co-op story mode.

Basically the same as the other games with a few small changes I'd have waited until the price dropped before buying it if I knew all this tag hype was a load of rubbish

From the very first second you start, you'll be blown away. Large scale battles, giant monster and lots of new interesting characters. It is quite possible the best game you will ever play. Forget halo 3 this is the xbox 360. 5 star

Rock Band 2 (Xbox 360)

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

November 21, 2008
I like this game its a good game i enjoyed playing rb1 thoroughly BUT i do also enjoy the guitar hero series and in comparison i think they're both in the same league running along side each other so Lets not argue about which ones best lets just play these great games and not make a fuss. Guitar hero gives you the custom song while rb2 gives you more songs and they're both seemingly endless series. you should buy both if your going to buy any but if your deciding what pack to buy go for guitar hero's no offense to the rock band 2s set but come on gh's is much better

Need For Speed: Undercover (PS2)

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

November 21, 2008
I was counting the minutes to get this game, so here it arrives, delivered on release day by Amazon. Into the PS2 it goes, and oh dear. First thing i did, was to look again at the DVD box to check whether this is really the new Need for Speed.
First, Graphics: the opening scene looks like it has been drawn by a 5 year old, and then animated. Does not look like anything you would expect from a need for speed. The tracks all look like water and oil have been spelled on them, always shiny, and not proper black as you would normally expect tarmac to be. Besides, it is quite hard to know where the corners and short cuts are sometimes, unless you look at the map. Why all this brightness as well? where ever you look there is very bright colors, which ... Read More:

Lips (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Refinements
from: Microsoft

November 21, 2008
First of all this game is a lot of fun. It has a great song collection of 40 songs on the CD (41 if u download A-Ha's 'take on me' which is free) with hits like Leona Lewis's Bleeding Love and Blondie Call me. There are enough songs to suit everyone. You can sing alone or there is co-op or Vs modes. In co-op mode it lets you sing the high or hard parts of parts of the song while the other person sings the backing, so you sometimes are singing at the same time especially during the chorus which is nice. In vs. you both sing the entire song, trying to earn the most points to beat each other! We only have 2 mics but it is possible to have up to six people singing together.

What i like most about this game is the options. The wireless mics have ... Read More:

Lego: Indiana Jones (PS2)

I admit I only played it for an hour, but I soon realised that it's not what I'd been lead to believe it is. It looks good, the graphics, even on the old PS2, being really good and clear, and the controls are responsive and good, but I just didn't take to it. One thing I didn't like is that you have to do the whole level before it autosaves, as it does in this game (you can't save manually at all so can't just put it on for a quick ten minutes to kill a bit of time). I was really looking forward to playing this and after an hour was a bit disappointed. I think it is the ideal way to introduce younger children to action and role playing games though.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3)

March 28, 2008
I got this game with my PS3 40GB, and I thought it was astonishing. The graphics were really good, the cars were fast(after you unlocked them), the tracks were numerous, good looking, and fun. It was a big jump from my PS2 Pro Street. However; after a while, the cars started to look a bit plasticky, and when the cars crashed into a wall or another car, they didn't break, but stayed exactly the same. I thought this for thirty pounds was good, but I thought that the PS3 had more potential. I tried a few other racing games, such as Race Driver Grid, and they were awesome. The graphics looked better, and more realistic in Grid, and really crashed when I crashed. This game is now reduced to £18 pounds, but if you're looking for a really good car racing game for your ...
