Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit (Xbox 360)

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

December 02, 2005
I ordered this play & charge kit, as I was told it was an official microsoft product from a seller called 'ambertouch' the kit that arrived is an unofficial play and charge kit.

I plugged it in, waitied about 6 hour and the battery still did not charge, also the kit got VERY hot, hot enough to burn your hand.

Would not buy this product ever again, as the unofficial version is clearly dangerous and does not work.

Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

Basically PGR4 is pretty good but...
I thought this game would be as good as all the videos I've seen, but for some reason the graphics don't look as good as they do during replay. Also it starts you off in a Ford Sierra on tracks that are flat and square, just one after another, god it's very monotonous, so I wasn't very pleased about that, I mean, I just got bored - what's wrong with some curves? Maybe a bit of variation? I mean is it like that all the way through?
Anyway i played a demo of Race Driver GRID and that seems much much better, with curves and hills and cooler cars and realistic crashes and everything (which PRG4 should have had), so I'm going to get that one, once the price comes down a bit...

Madden NFL 09 (Xbox 360)

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

August 15, 2008
It's been a long time since the heady days of ESPN Football 2k5, and Madden has lagged since that great game, especially on the xbox 360. However now Madden has retaken its throne as the best NFL game ever.

For one thing we have real commentary, which for some stupid reason has been omitted in previous 360 incarnations. The commentary is both atmospheric and great at teaching you some of the subtleties of the game.

Next the graphics seem to have improved drastically. Different famous NFL players actually look different in this game. Also there is some sweet animation at the beginning of each game which shows the outside of the stadium, which again adds tons of atmosphere.

You can finally have all 11 of your ... Read More:

Gears Of War (Xbox 360)

May 16, 2008
I got this game when i got my xbox, over a year ago now. While i play many other games, some are better, I always come back to this classic. At 16.95 you cant do better. It is a brilliant game with depth and a fantastic storyline. cod4 may be better, but this game is what, nearly 2 years older(im not sure on the exact date). While i love to play cod4 with my mates, gow realy is a timeless classic i keep coming back to.
CANNOT WAIT for gow2!!!! Only 2 months to go yayayayayay!!!!!

Xbox 360 Elite Console (120 GB Hard Drive)

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

August 24, 2007
I have owned an Elite since February 2008 and so far I have had no problems with it whatsoever. It is certainly nosier than the other consoles on the market, but for ease of use, unparalleled online gameplay and a large gaming library I seem to spend more time on the Elite than my other consoles.

From my experience, the multi-format titles seem a little more polished on the Elite, but this is largely due to the fact that games have been developed for the 360 and then ported to other formats. I fully expect this to change as this generation progresses. In terms of exclusives, a whole host of RPGs are due for release to keep you occupied through the winter months, plus you have the likes of Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Forza 2 (already available), ...

Xbox 360 Console (20 GB Hard Drive)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360

First off, this consoles star rating has been destroyed by stupid fanboys who rate it low, just because they have a ps3, so ignore them.
People say this console is unreliable, but if you take good care of it, it will last you for years.

The exlusive games are truley amazing, and the online community is massive.
xbox live, although costing, is far superior to any other consoles online service to date, and it is only £5 extra a month on you internet bill, or just £30 a year.

I could not have made a better choice of games console, and if you've got the extra cash, you may just want to dish out on an elite, for the extra space etc.

Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)

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

January 25, 2008
Let me start by saying two things...

1. This is purely an offline review
2. I have only previously played one burnout game (revenge)

Burnout paradise has turned out to be quite a good and really fun game for me. The graphics are nice and sharp with no slip in the framerate even at high speeds which I think is essential for a game which is played at such a fast pace, the gameplay is good and it sounds realistic too.

I have seen some reviews criticising the open format and free burning, like I said at the start having only played one burnout game before so this new format doesnt really bother me all that much. Sometimes it is a little bit frustrating when your at peak burning speed about a mile from the finish and you miss a turning because ... Read More:
