MySims: Kingdom (Nintendo DS)

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

October 31, 2008
I bought this item about a week ago and im really enjoying it. You can do all sorts of minigames, desining your island and clothes. The grapics are very good and its a fantastic game for those who arn't intense game players. I havn't yet completed it because im a little stuck and i was wondering if someone thats already completed it could help me.
Im stuck on the part were you have to get the gondola back. I have already completed the engine for it but im not sure how to build it, because everytime i go to Torajiros house he just says "you won't be able to ride the gondola if you don't hurry. there are lots of folks in trouble." But then it just goes onto were you can build stuff! :(

I bet that didn't make any sense, but ... Read More:

Spore (Mac/PC DVD)

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

September 05, 2008
This is a great game!
The game is a very varied experience indeed - it has 5 stages that are almost like five different standalone games - except they are connected by the way your 'creature' evolves.

The creature creators included in this game are exceptional, even solely as art programs (however, if you are intending to use spore for art, I'd recommend the cheaper product known as Spore: Creature Creator, that's only £4.99.)

The online content is actually quite good, for a PC game that isn't really focused on multiplayer (World of Warcraft is a good example of a game focused on multiplayer.) You are allowed to download the creations of your friends into your game.

Overall, this is a great product. The story is ... Read More:

The Sims 3 (PC)

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

March 27, 2009
Nothing on earth can stop a softwear thief if he puts his mind to it. I am sure EA games know this. The most they can do is make it a bit harder to steal their game. So I am wondering why they are bothering with this DRM and why you can only install the game 3 times before you have to re-register it on line to be able to install it again. I think it is only a cover to get some murky softwear on our computers. Plus, I know it sounds very backward of me but I am not going to start again with AOL and pay a monthly fee just so I can use a game. I had AOL before my last computer died and you would not believe the fun I had trying to tell them I was no longer able to use the internet. I think it took nearly a year before it sunk in.
Anyway, call me paranoid ... Read More:

The Sims 2: Apartment Life Expansion Pack (PC DVD)

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

August 29, 2008
I am amazed in reading all the reviews saying that they liked this expansion the best (My favourite is Free time, then Seasons and Pets but I cannot afford to go without any of them because they each bring some useful change). I think it's the worst, I wish I could uninstall it without having to re-install all the others one by one. Oh well...

For starters, you have so much more trouble finding out your Sims through all these walls and floors.
And you have no gardens - I have lived all my life in apartments in a smoggy city, and one of the joys of the Sims was to build them proper houses with gardens...
You all know that in The Sims, friends who come to visit have to come to the door, ring the bell and then cannot be clicked and greeted unless they ... Read More:

Spore Creatures (Nintendo DS)

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

September 05, 2008
The PC version of Spore is one of the most reviled and criticised games of recent years, possibly of all time. It truly is one of the most disappointing gaming experiences I have ever had - such anticipation, such terrible design!

Spore Creatures on the DS is a very different game, but still fails to reach the giddy heights suggested by the hype.

You can "design" your creature at your nest, which is always available by clicking on a button. It's possible to swap body parts, rotate and size them, but gone are the deep tweaking options of the PC version, and frankly, most of the parts make no sense at all. There are many parts that you will never use, and most make absolutely no difference to the game play - including all the bodies and all the decorative ... Read More:

Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City with Wii Speak (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Life
from: Nintendo

December 05, 2008
On Christmas day when I opened my copy of Animal Crossing I instantly dismissed it at a gift that wouldn't get used. Sitting one evening shortly after with my glass of wine and my box of Thorntons I cracked it open to give it a go..... what a big mistake. I haven't been able to put it down! My 5 year old daughter is thoroughly enjoying it too!

I've never heard of it before so cannot give you a comparison with other versions of this game but this evening I have been chatting and gaming with a lovely lady from New York no less!!

I have even awoken early to get half hour in before I have to hand the wiimote over to my daughter!

Whats more it's meant that my husband can't get on his PS3 neither!! Wooohoo!!

Go and buy it!

The Sims 2 Mansions & Garden Stuff Pack for The Sims 2 (PC DVD)

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

November 21, 2008
I`ve always been keen on the building side of The Sims 2 and thought this Mansion and Garden Stuff pack looked like a treat, I bought it as soon as it was released. It installed without problems and it has taken till today for me to realize there actually may be a problem with this expansion pack. I tried to make a coffee Bar and could not find the espresso bar in the buy catalogue(which comes with the University expansion pack I`d installed earlier). I then realized all espresso bars in all the lots I`d placed them were missing.
I searched some Sims 2 related forums online and found I wasn`t the only one experiencing missing content after installing this expansion pack!
Maybe there is an update patch on the way to sort this out.... I hope so....else I`m afraid I will have ... Read More:
