Dead Rising (Xbox 360)

this game can get VERY annoying due to its stupid save system. you can wander around for ages looking for a save point, and just not find one. then you die.... otherwise, this game is awsome. i love hacking up the zombies in a sea of blood :) its just a shame that there is this one major flaw

Warhammer: Battle March (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Deep Silver

September 12, 2008
Ok ill start this review of battle march with a quick overview, warhammer battle march is a strategy game pure and simple, u do not bulid bases u buy troops and what u start a battle with is what u have, the game features 6 uniques races the empire, the chaos, the high elves,the dark elves, the skaven and finally the orcs and goblins. Now in addition to the empire and chaos campaigns that featured in mark of chaos the orcs and goblins get their own campaign which features the dark elevs as well; it would have been nice to have changed the empire and chaos campaigns but since i was unable to play the game on my PC and relieing on a friends PC i never really played those campaigns which means i have no problem with this.

Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Atari

November 23, 2007
This Game is Awesome! just got it yesterday and i have to say, it is a spectacular flying sim. Whilst Geared towards an Arcade type expirience rather than a Simulator, it doesnt detract from the Expirience at all. The graphics are Amazing, from the missile trails to the heat waves made by your after burner. what is particulary impressive is the landscape that streches for miles and it looks fantasic.

The gameplay is easy to pick up and enjoyable. There is a slight tactical element to the way you fight as well. Each mission equpis you with a wingman, who can attack targets for you and cover your 6 (haha speaky fly lingo) Also you have the ability to use ground units and sea units to aid you in your mission, once you have helped them complete theirs. ...

Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Microsoft

December 02, 2005
This is the first PGR to hit the 360 so its a bit dated now. Hwever, the graphics and sound are very good.

There are plenty of supercars to race and plenty tracks to race on. Most are street circuits. There are difficulty levels to suit everyone and plenty of racing options. The LIVE service is still populated with regular racers. The game includes several variants of the Nordschlieffe and racing around Las Vagas is very pretty. There are some devilish corners in some of the tracks though.

Criticisms? The menu is cumbersome and whilst there is good use of shading, some are like a solar eclipse making it difficult to see where you are going.

This is still a very good choice for racers with plenty medals to be won.

Devil May Cry 4 (Xbox 360)

If you liked the original devil may cry you will love this. bottom line. Good balance between action and puzzles and the games moves forward at a nice tempo with an interesting easy to follow story.

I bought Ninja Gaiden 2 after completing devil may cry thinking it would be similar but it was too action orientated for me and doesnt hold a candle to devil may cry in my opinion of course.

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Electronic Arts

May 11, 2007
this game is the first RTS i've ever played on a console - as i must say i am impressed - the graphics are great, the cut scenes excellent, the sounds and the interface all well done. I have played this game on the PC version but my PC does not have to power to run it effectively and all the animation and graphics are slow and blocky. I was wary as many people have said that the controller does not work well with it, but i must say it does - with a few issues about senistivity which can be sorted with a bit of playing in the menus. My only gripe with it would be the fact that due to playing it on a telly you can't quite see the icons or writing on the screen and if you do then they cover most of the screen. Howver all in all a very good game - also the expansion pack coming soon will ... Read More:

Crackdown (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Microsoft

February 20, 2007
Right lets get one thing straight, this game is a lot of fun! In fact the most fun i've had playing a game in ages. I picked this up fairly cheap not expecting much, a few cheap thrills perhaps and i was so surprised!!
The graphics are very nice, polished and very solid. The fact you can potentially go anywhere you want in the city literally if you can see it you can get there! The gameplay is phenomenal especially after a few hours and you start levelling up!! Who would want to jump over a tower block and throw cars into crowds of people..seriously the game isnt the longest (mission wise) but the pick up and play factor is huge!! I cant put it down.
I can honestly say i preferred this to GTA, until the missions ended..yes the main game is a bit short but heck it's a ... Read More:

Condemned 2 (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Sega

April 04, 2008
Condemmed 2 looked as if it was going to be one of the best games on the 360, so I pre-ordered it and spent £45 on it, but I would advise you to spend no more than £20 on this game. It is fun and it certainly looks good, the fact that you get to beat the s*** out of people with prosthetic arms and barbies (wooden 2'4 with barbed wire wrapped round it)gives you a good feeling. It is fun for the first 10 minutes, but eventually all the looking for doors that lead to nothing catches it up and it gets boring.

The game is good for someone with patience and a good sense of bloodthirst but the game should have been 10 times better. I was sadly bored after one day of playing it and traded it in.

this game has a duck and cover feature that means if you fight in open war fare you will be slaughtered. this feature gives pointless blown up cars and other objects a point .... for cover. this means you can pick off the enemys one by one safely. it also adds a very high degree of enjoyment and makes this game different or EVEN better to other FPS's. this games single player has a very good life span (as i havent completed it yet)and has the ability to keep you enticed. this game also allows you to pick from a wide range of weapons and allows you to customize each one to your own personal specifications.it also has a feature called terrorist hunt which allows you to primeraly illiminate hostals, saving you the trouble of rescueing hostages. this adds to the interest of this game (although these ...
