Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock with two Wired Controllers (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games Hardware
from: Activision

October 02, 2007
I played Guitar Hero 2 at a friend's house for the first time last weekend and I loved it so much that I bought GH3 with the two controllers. I read some of the reviews where people had said it's too difficult and wasn't sure what to expect. Well, it isn't that hard at all. It is a tiny bit less forgiving than GH2, but I can still hit 99% of notes on easy (that 100% is still eluding me!) and I've only played it a few times.

The graphics are, well, the same as before, which is basic. But this game isn't about visual appeal, it is about playability and it has that by the shedload.

I'm not an all-out rock and metal fan (Foo Fighters is my kind of thing) so, for me, the songs make up an interesting selection of rock and ... Read More:

Battle of the Bands (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games Hardware
from: THQ

May 23, 2008
This game is a great game to play with a friend. The controls are really intuitive, even my mum has had a go. There are levels to suit all abilities. All you need to be able to do is swing your arms from side to side and down, and give the occasional punch. When choosing who to play (which band), you get to choose between different genres of music, such as rock, hip hop, country, latin and marching band. Depending on who is doing the best in that section, the corresponding band plays. There are face off sections where you get to 'attack' your opponent, but there are also chances to attack during the beat sequences, using powerups. This game is so competitive!

I have not progressed as far in the 'adventure' single player mode. As I find ... Read More:

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games Hardware
from: Nintendo

October 26, 2007
I almost pity the Metroid Prime : Corruption developers. They've turned out what is, quite simply, the single most polished, detailed and engrossing game on the Wii. Yet their efforts were always destined to be overshadowed by more mainstream (and frankly inferior) titles like Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy. Relegating their hard work to the second rate status of a mere 'sleeper hit', when in fact, Metroid Prime : Corruption is without a doubt the finest title to grace the Wii so far.

Sonically, graphically and immersively it is without equal on the platform. The team at Retro Studios have put together the first title to truly exhibit the graphical capabilities of the Wii and they've wrapped that visual polish around a game that ... Read More:

Powerplay Sports Pack (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games Hardware
from: Powerplay

June 01, 2007
Powerplay distribute the Competition Pro branded range of Wii accessories that are made in China from average quality white plastic. In the box:

1 x textured grip handle that can be used with either the tennis, baseball and golf attachments. A normal Wii controller fits inside snugly and comes out very easily. There are holes to channel the strap so that you can still play safley. All the attachments screw in tightly so there is no risk of the unit falling apart during play.

1 x remote strap which is of inferior quality to the Nintendo strap but is would probably be okay if something happened to your official one. Most types of straps would work with this sports pack.

1 x tennis attacment which is my favorite part as the ... Read More:

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games Hardware
from: Nintendo

November 30, 2007
As a fan of the resident evil games and having completed most of them, i have to say that this game is very much faster and at times a bit more exciting. As you progress through the game the enemies get faster and more numerous which i always craved from the previous games! After all, the puzzles were challenging in previous games but the enemies were generally a no-brainer when it came to combat. Chronicles goes in the opposite direction and the puzzles consist of little more then pressing certain buttons or shaking the controllers at certain times, if you can call them puzzles, but the enemies start of easy but get alot harder!
I have to admit i found it alittle tedious on single player, but its alot more fun on 2-player!
i also find the lack of ... Read More:

FIFA 08 (Wii)

I think that the gameplay is great but the things to do are quite boring. Unless you can play online then this game will get boring. I buy the new Fifa games every year and this is the only one for a long time without Manager Mode which I was disappointed with.

Just to let people know, this package *does* include the Crossfire Wireless Receiver for Windows.
Hopefully this will help people to avoid making the same mistake I did and end up ordering one separately.
