Sonic The Hedgehog (PS3)

March 23, 2007
After playing the playstation version years ago I couldn't wait to get this. After playing it, SEGA showed just what they are capable of.. making a complete waste of time and effort! God knows why you would want to to pay 44.99 for it. Luckily I got it with the console. I advise you not to get this even if you love sonic, it will only dull your memories of him.
There are loads of reasons why it is so rubbish, and I could go on forever telling you but I'll tell you some of the main reasons. The gameplay is atrocious and will no doubt give you a headache within minutes. SEGA have now got you doing endless chores for the townsfolk before you can go into a proper level. the townsfolk give you your stupid task to do and after listening to them ... Read More:

Xbox 360 512MB Memory Unit (Xbox 360)

It's a memory card that lets you save your progress and profile. I can get 5 or 6 arcade games on here that can be transported between my XBoxes (does not work with Sega Vintage Collection games, eg. Sonic).

But, it is still just a memory card. Why it should cost so much to fit in a proprietary slot remains a mystery. More overpriced hardware by MS.

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (PS2)

This game is great fun. My favourite chapter is 5 where you get to kill Darth Vader in free play in Episode IV.

When me and my friend started chapter 5 in Episode VI we were really excited because you get to kill the Emperor.

Pokémon Blue

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Childrens PC and Video Games
from: Nintendo


Its hard to believe looking back, that this game caused so much of a stir in the playground. Pokemon Red and Blue where a big deal during the mid 90's, and it was the game that really absored kids into a great adventure.
The layout of the game itself is simple, which I guess helped the popularity. But it was more of the objective that took sold the game - you had to become the 'best' pokemon trainer, and this could be done by winning lots and lots fights with other trainers.
I won't even go into what 'Pokemon' are (japanese for Pocket Monsters - hence they are kept in Pokeballs...) but to make it simple, their just creatures that are trained up and used for fighting other Pokemon. On your travels, you can catch Pokemon by using Pokeballs ... Read More:

Eternal Sonata (Xbox 360)

from: Atari

Eternal Sonata is a strange premise, you play a game (a JRPG) about polish composer Frédéric Chopin. It might all seem strange and quirky, well thats exactly what Eternal Sonata is. If you enjoy JRPG's you are going to absolutely love this to bits. Its beautiful to look at... I mean jaw droppingly pretty. This game will really show off the capabilities of your 360 and your HDTV with rich clean colours and animations.

The game itself plays like any normal JRPG, play as a team of oddly dressed characters all complete with funny hairstyles to save the world from an evil force. The true differences lie in the little touches I don't want to spoil it for anyone but lets just say this game has dramatic if a little obvious twists. The way the game ... Read More:

Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (PS2)

Well the graphics are great, gameplay is wicked the levels are very good but it's just too short. This is alot better then other movie games, there are some awesome parts about this game which are the jedi duels(also in co-operative) which is fun, the storyline is great the levels are great boss battles are great. My ONLY problem is that they could've made longer or at least have more things too unlock or make it harder. Overall a great game it would be better for a rent for a week. Buy if you're a star wars fan and love gaming. The Lord Of the Rings game is miles better.

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (PSP)

A brilliant game that is true to the films. There's a sense of humour that lifts this above other 'Star Wars' games. While the game is simple to play there are enough objectives to make this something that you will keep on returning to.

Pokémon Gold

Now come on...it's unlikely that you've never heard of Pokemon if you're reading this. And you should all know that this version has 251 pokemon which you need to capture.

You start off as a basic pokemon trainer, as you raise and capture more pokemon you're party grows stronger and evolves as you attempt to become the Pokemon master by beating all the gym leaders and the elite four and finally ??? (I won't spoil it for you).

Basically it's an addictive RPG that involves you raising and capturing pokemon...do you really need a long and in depth review for something so basically addictive. Just buy it.

Nintendo 64 Console - Grey

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Childrens PC and Video Games
from: Nintendo


The Nintendo 64 was the first console I bought with my own money (I'm talking about 1998). I still remember saving up loads of pocket money for this, and only managing to buy the console which came with one remote (those awesome remotes!) and no game. The first time I saw the N64 was at a friend's house, he had imported it from the USA. Just the shape of it gave me goose-bumps! The fact it had 4 ports for remotes allowing 4 people to play simultaneously was the most attractive aspect of it, until I saw the graphics on Mario Kart 64! We played for hours, non-stop, and I yearned for the console to be on sale in Europe so I could get my hands on one. My first game was FIFA 64. Legendary. I do not want to think of how many hours I spent exploring games on the N64, and how I NEVER ... Read More:

Ratchet & Clank 2: Locked & Loaded

I read the reviews on this game, I bought this game, and for some reason I just didn't enjoy it. I can see why people like this game but for me it's certainly no Crash Bandicoot and I found it a waste of money. Not as good as the competition, granted it has very good graphics, but this could have been a lot better. A disappointment.
