Skate (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games

The control system for this game makes absolutely no sense. Half the time it doesn't perform the 'flickit' tricks anyway. After a couple of the most infuriating hours of my life trying to get to grips with this control system I have given up.

I'm sure some of the other features are great but i'm not going to get to use these because the control system is unfathomable and infuriating. I won't even trade this in as some poor other person who has heard the ridiculous hype might waste money on it!

I would recommend spending the time you would have to invest actually learning to skateboard!

Lost: The Video Game (PS3)

from: Ubisoft

February 29, 2008
Ok, I must say first and foremost I am a HUGE geek when it comes to Lost so as soon as I got my PS3, Via Domus was high on my hitlist.

I was initially suprised to find the price so low, especially with me being not really the hardcore gamer-type, but now I realise for it to warrant the £40 price tag, there should really be a whole lot more to it.

From a fan's point of view, this game is a lot of fun and I cannot recommend it enough. The graphics are superb and while you can interact with the well known characters, I feel the others aren't involved. Admitedly, some do get more involved than others, but I would still have liked to have seen more. Especially as characters such as Eko, Rousseau, Ana-Lucia and Libby are not ... Read More:

The Darkness (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games
from: Take 2 Interactive

July 20, 2007
i was'nt sure about buying this, the blurb didnt seem all that interesting, just another "horror" game so i put off buying it, but then saw it in gamestation for a tenner so took a chance on it and... what a game!

this game is just such fun to play and the storyline is great too, the little side-missions you find yourself doing in the subway are fun to pass time too, such as where you have to pick up the coins from the tracks before a train hits you just to win the bet with the little old lady that you can actually do it! (that itself took me about 20 attempts...)

you should buy this game, for sure, it has everything, and at a low price too now, itll leave you wanting more

Medal of Honor: Airborne (PS3)

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

December 07, 2007
Being a big fan of FPS games on any format I purchased this hoping that the Medal of Honor series was finaly back on track (the last few console ones have been dire) Unfortunately after clogging up nearly 5GB of my PS3 hardrive with an install I was greeted by a truly shocking frame rate, slow unresponsive controls and enemy AI that can see you around corners and through walls. The parachute drops at the beginning of the levels is a great idea and really does open up the various levels allowing you a great deal of freedom, however with the AI seeming able to see you and track you anywhere stealth is non-existent. Youre weapons are truly inefective, sure not all games need COD4 levels of realisim but a full machine gun clip to take out one guy is not only ... Read More:

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games
from: Activision

November 02, 2007
Since Tony Hawk's Underground 2, the series has just never been the same. Although I think Proving Ground is a slight improvement on Project 8 and American Wasteland, it is still miles behind the THUG series.

It has to be said that the graphics on this are pretty good, and the gameplay isn't bad at all, but the story and new tricks is what's letting this down. The "Nail a Trick and Grab" in my opinion is pretty hoepless and skating just doesn't seem to be fun anymore.

The map is certainly big enough and maybe a little too big. Challenges you come accross throughout the game are definetely what I would call HARD, and there are very few cutscenes, which I find brings a story together in a game, especially a Tony Hawk's one. You soon ... Read More:

Call of Duty 4 (PS3)

We all know how important customer reviews are as its the customers who, at the end of the day, expect to recieve fully finished quality products and for once (sorry sony) there is finally a game I am certainly not willing to sell - ever! This game is just simply stunning. Im sure most of you who have a PS3 and have several friends on your list will all be displaying 'Playing Call of Duty 4'. It's hard to imagine just how good this game is so im going to try a new method of approach.
Now imagine your 7 years old, your walking into a sweets store and the person behind the counter smiles at you and says "its your lucky day, your our 100th customer and everything to you in this shop is free". Now it takes a few seconds for the brain creamage to settle down as ... Read More:

Sonic The Hedgehog (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games
from: Sega

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 mumble for hours on end ...

Kung Fu Panda (PS3)

I havnt seen the film so i cant tell if it follows the storey closly or just goes all over the place but i can tell you the game is very easy to play and fun to get into. The controlls are simple to the point that a child will master them before the end of the 1st lvl.
The graphics are fantastic for a game based on a cartoon and the items you eed to collect are simple to see and pick up the bad guys are very well thought up but seem to be a little to easy to defeat. The sound is great too as Jack Black has voiced this perfectly.

Children will love this and adults too but us adults will tire very quickly of the same thing in diffrent locations.
Apart from that its great
