go and read a medical book about how to wake up girl (i'm not joking)

DEFCON with Uplink (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Budget Games
from: Introversion Software

June 08, 2007
If you have ever seen the seminal 80's film Wargames then you now know what you are buying- a vector graphic style real time strategy game of World War 3.

So there are much prettier games out there, faster paced games out there and games with more variety. But what makes this game unique is the minimalist graphics combined with the staggeringly subtle sound track leads to the first anti-war computer war game.

What I mean by this is where there are lots of sober war games, they still fundamentally work on the adrenaline rush of the kill or the victory. This game (purely by suggestion) gets you wondering why you are playing the game in the first place and ultimately you may realise that while you have "won" the sheer human cost of nuclear ...

Sam & Max (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Budget Games
from: JOWOOD

August 31, 2007
I loved the original sam and max game and had mixed feelings about whether it would translate well to 3D. However, I need not have worried! The interface is slimmed down and easier to use than ever, the episode system is cleverly implemented, and the dialogue is (that rare thing in video games) really, really funny. One or two puzzles have slightly obscure solutions but on the whole the difficulty curve is perfectly pitched. In summary: This is brilliantly entertaining, rib shakingly funny and the best game I've played in a long time.

Fallout 2 (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Budget Games
from: Avanquest Software

June 16, 2006
As I start writing this, Fallout 3 is looming on the horizon. With its imminent release, I decided to "brush up" on the previous games and decided to give Fallout 2 another go. Some 10 years ago, I initially bought it only to get overwhelmed by the sheer size of the game but I wasn't going to make the same mistake this time!

Oh yes, Fallout 2 is big. Not enormous, granted, but that would have come at the expense of the immense detail that went into the game. Every town or city has its own story and unlike the Baldur's Gate series and its ilk, you often have to squeeze quests out of people instead of them being thrown in your face which is refreshing for a change.

Once you get started, though, you're hooked. Don't let it overwhelm you - take your time. Don't ... Read More:

FIFA 08 (PC DVD)

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

September 28, 2007
I think some of these reviews were written too soon. I have played a few months and yes it is harder but the game play has improved immensely. You just need time to master it. I think FIFA need to work on these bugs before they release the game. There are a lot of odd things here from the commentary being totally wrong, or your defenders standing aside as the PC strikers run towards goal.. Aside from that the management section is as good as it gets.

Zuma (Mac/PC CD)

It is said that a good chef is one that can cook-up miracles with scraps. This is such a miracle: enclosed within only a few MBs the MUMBO-JUMBO team has enclosed a game you will GREATLY ENJOY!!

A series of colored balls (with the number of different colors increasing every few levels) gets pushed and you have to match them in sets of three or more in order to remove them - and prevent them from reaching the end zone. There are two different modes: numbered balls per level and endless ball-trains in a specific level. Both are exceptional addictive!!

This is a perfect example of what has come to be known as Casual Gaming. It would be a good idea to download the 60-min trial version from a site, such as REFLEXIVE (you can Google it), and decide for yourself whether this is ... Read More:

Championship Manager: Season 03-04 (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Budget Games
from: Eidos

November 21, 2003
he Championship Manager games have long been regarded as the best football management games around, this is reflected in the amount of games published and sold.

Incase you hadn't already known, this game puts you in charge of club from many leagues. You pick the team, buy the players, sack the staff and a whole lot more. But I'll go into further detail of that in a minute.

The basic gameplay is excellent. I've been playing Championship Manager for 6 years now, and there are only a few days when I haven't played it. The games are addictive as anything, and the easy-to-use interface means that you can play this complex game with ease. You can play this game in different ways, for example, you could take a small team up through the divisions, you could take a big team to bigger ... Read More:
