Nintendo Wii Controller (Wii)

You only get one wiimote in the standard kit wii console and while this is a fantastic controller hence why I have given it 5 stars for fun I think it is over priced as unlike other consoles there is no 'after market' 3rd part alternatives that are cheaper.

I would welcome a reduction in the price by nintendo to make the additional wiimotes more accessible for more people. Your looking at the best part of £150 to get 3 more wiimotes and nunchucks required for 4 player mode. I have got 4 and it really does make play more fun and allow more people to join in.

Lego: Indiana Jones (PS2)

This is money well spent!

If you liked Lego Star Wars 1 & 2 then this is for you! Buy it! Play it! Keep playing it! By Christmas you still want to play it!

You can't go wrong on a game that really does not end and on the PS2 it is superb. I was going to get a PS3 but if this is the quality still being produced in sound, graphic and game play long live the PS2!!!

Creating your own Lego game characters is great as well. I made Mutt from the new film so I can have father and son running around with whips and guns. It is so good it even looks like him! To adda British cultural twist I made a David Tennent Doctor Lego character armed with a book to help solve the puzzles! Its that good and impressive!

I am not a video gamer and picked this one up by accident for the Wii platform.....woweeee!
Talk about addictive fun, after a hard days work, this sure as hell gets rid of the gremlins and is thoroughly enjoyable.
Tongue in cheek send up of the original series it may be, but it is also totally consuming and great fun.
There are lovely hidden touches throughout the game and graphics are good, as a clever modern day game based on the classic 3 Indiana Jones films it is a sure winner.

Sony Playstation 3 Console (40GB Version)

There is so much noise over the PS3 vs Xbox debate on the internet, in reality both are great systems but PS3 is better for my needs and if your needs are like mine then i would recommend it too.

Before i get to the gaming aspect i will state that the Blu ray player is excellent, i decided to save for an HDTV to complement a next-gen system as it made sense. As Blu ray seems to have won the format war i was chuffed to have a free blu ray player in the system, the quality is fantastic and the movies are getting cheaper all the time, especially on amazon.

If you have an HDTV and want to take the step up to high def movies then this free blu ray player (which is crazy when you see how much they are normally) is a great reason to get ... Read More:

Cooking Guide (Nintendo DS)

I was looking forward to using this new game in the kitchen, and although it does work, it is not as good as a trusty recipe book! Try not to be taken in by the idea of this game. I didn't like the voice recognition setting as it picked up other noises in the kitchen and left the recipe at the wrong stage. I tried moving the game on manually and this worked better but I got bits of food all over my lovely white DS. I will be trading this game in asap. (It is not all bad though, I did make some nice chocolate brownies).

HDMI Cable (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games Hardware
from: 4Gamers


As demonstrated on the last gadget show, there is no point whatsoever in buying an expensive hdmi cable,so if you want HD for your HD telly and are gonna connect it to a PS3 or any other HDMI source, it really doesnt matter which you use as all it does is send O's and 1's digitally. so you either get the picture or not, they are allgoing to be the same quality whichever cable you buy.
If this works when you get it and you have payed the minimal amount possible,then i reckon it's a good purchase for your PS3.
Personally, when I bought my PS3 from currys last year, I asked them to throw me one in FOC, and they did cos I bought my telly from there too, which was good, the cable was priced at £10, so not bad for nowt. In summary though, they're all the ... Read More:

More Brain Training (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

June 28, 2007
Other reviews can tell you about all the features in this game, so I'll try to keep it short.

The training programs are more varied and enjoyable than the previous game's. Some of the challenges include unscrambling words, remembering numbers and even playing a musical piece. However, I did find a couple of the games tedious. There are also again plenty of free or assisted Sudoku puzzles and a hidden mini-game which is quite addictive.

One of the big irritations from the previous game remains - poor handwriting recognition. As well as numbers, you will have to write symbols and letters, which the game may often fail to understand! Voice recognition is also a bit unreliable on the Rock, Paper, Scissors game.

Sony Blu-Ray Disc Remote Control (PS3)

I bought this a couple of days after purchasing a PSP3. While it has some great functions and is very user-friendly, there is one MAJOR problem, you have to reach for the TV/DVD control to adjust the volume... Why? Surely the technology (seemingly very simple technology at that) is there to add a simple volume adjuster to this device??

For that reason I would only give this a modest 3 out of 5.

Come on Sony, DO BETTER!!
