Hasbro Compilation: Monopoly/Boggle/Yahtzee/Battleships (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Atari

June 16, 2006
Was relatively disappointed in this as the gameplay could be a lot better.

Monopoly - I found Monopoly quite confusing in terms of buying and selling properties - the instructions aren't clear and I ended up swapping properties I didn't want to swap in error.

Boggle - this was why I bought this game - loved Boggle as a kid. It's quite good but it has a really annoying menu where it's difficult to select the game you want to play!

Yahtzee - this is great - faithful to the original game with a choice of backgrounds

Battleships - probably the best configured game of the 4 - just a pity it's the most boring game!

Overall it's not bad - if you like the 'real-life' versions then you'll ... Read More:

Secret Files: Tunguska (Nintendo DS)

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

May 23, 2008
The story of Secret Files: Tunguska plays out like an indiana jones movie/ tomb raider game plot - in a point and click style adventure. The story is engaging enough to keep your interest, but not too in-depth or confusing to detract from the game.

Its no great shakes with the puzzles, which takes the old fashioned "combine A with B and use on C, and then D will happen" format, but enough thought has gone into them that they aren't tedious, and MOST require a reasonable amount of thinking to get the job done.

The pointing and clicking is also great - the (surprisingly gorgeous!) backgrounds are static, but the character is fully mobile, so you have to roam around the screens to solve the problems: the opposite of games ... Read More:

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Sierra

November 02, 2007
Having played, and loved, Spyro: Shadow Legacy I really wanted to play one of the other titles. I wish I hadn't bothered. For a start I didn't know what was happening in the story since it seemed to follow on from something that had previously happened. Secondly, I've only played a few levels so far but I'm already bored. In Shadow Legacy there were different things to do (eg. exploring, fighting, using different powers and carrying out tasks) but The Eternal Night only seems to have one real mode (walking around and occasionally killing things) and no purpose.
I hadn't played any Spyro before Shadow Legacy so maybe The Eternal Night is more like the originals. But having played that first I feel like this one is a huge step backwards and a ... Read More:

Joytech DS Lite Carry Case (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: JOYTECH


I bought this item based on another customer review which stated it could be used to house a WD Passport External USB hard drive. They were right, although the drive is a very tiny bit wider than a DS lite I've had no problems. There is also a net pouch in the lid which is perfect for storing the USB cord that came with my device. I only have two minor complaints. First that I would have preferred if the device storage side of the case had velcro straps instead of the small elastic strips that are sewn into the case. It makes it a tiny bit more of a pain to put the device away. Second, although I think the case itself is quite sturdy I would have liked it even more if it had been made of something harder(it feels as though it's made of a very dense ... Read More:

Venom Licensed Pink Glitter Case Protector for DS Lite (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Venom

August 06, 2007
This is an excellent fit (which should be expected as it is made by Nintendo as well) it's easy to put on and take off, but it's not exactly clear in the picture that this case is actually transparent, therefore isn't exactly suitable for a black ds because the colour of the case is overpowered by the console.. Not sure how it would work with silver or white ones either. On the whole it's still pretty good, helps keep finger marks off.
Hope this helps someone else
:)

Arkanoid (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Square Enix

July 04, 2008
How do you play an Arkanoid game with the DS stylus? Very easily, it's a good control method for Arkanoid, maybe too good because I remember swearing at the game a lot more than this back in the day. Taito have done a decent job of bringing the arcade classic to the DS, but not as good as the one they've done with updating Space Invaders for the magnificent Space Invaders Extreme, which makes this look more like a perfunctory effort.

Arkanoid will always be a fun game if done correctly and here it has been. It's twice the price of what you'd want to pay for it, though.

New International Track & Field (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Konami

June 20, 2008
I just picked this up... without doubt the best multiplayer DS game out there!

I bought Mario and Sonic but was very disappointed with it.

I was very reluctant to get "Track and Field" as I thought it would be more of the same but its a much more satisfying gaming experience than Mario and Sonic.

This is a proper game with an awesome online multiplayer mode. Buy with confidence or simply check out the reviews on the web...speaks for itself!

Action Replay Max Duo (Nintendo DS/GBA)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Datel Direct Ltd


This is good, if you know how to use it.

Just get a game save from GameFaq, then backup your old save then send the downloaded save on your DS cartage. Easy, and for example; Animal Crossing is the perfect game to demonstrate the usage of this product. Get the Map Editor, back up your save duplicate it then edit it using the ME. Transfer it back in, walla! A perfect save. Good product, if you know how to use it.
