the missions are too hard, and only nod missions?! loads to slow because you need tiberium wars & kanes wrath!!!! good graphics though. again, remember tiberium wars? yeah i do. had loads of bugs at first, kanes wrath will have more and no patch? EA strikes yet again, another rushed, disgraceful game from EA. as i said all fun no time. yet again, a disgraceful game for the CNC series. go buy the first decade if you want an offer. OR even buy a gamecube with this sort of money your spending!





the fact that RA3 Sucked, i enjoyed the game, 1 star, 5 fun.

The Sims 2: Seasons Expansion Pack (PC DVD)

March 02, 2007
This is a really good game- buy it or live in boredem!

I am 10 years old because the first sims game was ages 7+ so we thought- why are the others all 12?

This is an amazing game and if you like sims then don't think twice about this game. It's a definate MUST HAVE for sim lovers. First of all, be prepared with a fire alarm as storms and lightning can cause fires. Next, every sim loves a bit of gardening, don't they? The first bronze gardening badge is easy to get so make your sim garden a bit for a good reputation, although the others are harder they will make a better impresion on other sims. The snow is amazing. Your sims can go out and create snow angels and have snowball fights, and in summer they can play catch or have ... Read More:

Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Deluxe Edition (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Microsoft

October 13, 2006
The deluxe edition is essentially FSX, but with added scenery and a few axtra missions. If your computer is the type that will struggle with FSX, it is possible that you won't be able to appreciate the added content.

Having said this, I would recommend buying the deluxe edition of this game simply because it will pay off in the future, becuase it really is worth seeing the game in all its glory. I personally had many teething problems soon after installation, even on my brand new computer with an 8800GTX and a quad core processor. My inability to hit the ground running with this game is testament to the amount of fine tuning that is required in order to squeeze the very best in terms of performance to quality ratio.

Spore Creature Creator (PC/Mac)

from: Electronic Arts

I think to a certain extent it is right for EA to protect themselves now beings as so many games are copied and sold on, so the DRM scheme makes sense, although quite annoying admitedly!

Also people who buy from amazon are willing to pay the £5 for the game, if your not then dont moan about it, and if you were really concerned ud have realised that EA refund that £5 when you buy the full game later this year from them, yet its just as cheap to buy creature creator and preorder the full game from Amazon neway.

Newho love the game, its nice to have a small taste of whats to come, well excited!

Xbox 360 Common Controller (PC/Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Microsoft

November 25, 2005
I love the design of the 360 controller, its chunky but not too big, and its not at all heavy. Its comfortable to hold for long periods too.
Some reviews have comnplained about the vibration not working on that many games, but that is entirley dependant on the game not the controller, so this cant be blamed on the controller.
Another review I have read complains the analogue triggers don't work on GTA. Well if this review refers to San Andreas, since GTA4 is not on PC yet, that game does not have analogue accelerator.brake controls, it is digital, again not a fault of the controller.
Perhaps my main gripe with the pad is the oddly positioned left analogue stick. For me I would prefer the analogues to be adjacent to one another as I do get a little thumb ... Read More:

The Sims 2: Bon Voyage Expansion Pack (PC DVD)

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

September 06, 2007
The sims bon voyage is the excelent new expansion pack to the sims, adding the ability to allow your sims to journey to new places (Similar to the on vacation expansion for the first sims game). It adds many new features (such as a bow interaction which can be learned while in a Japan themed vacation) to greatly increase the fun factor of the game, problably more than any other expansion (excluding my favorite, the pets expansion!).

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm Expansion Pack (PC DVD)

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

March 07, 2008
i had really high hopes watching the relic forums and trying to guess what is in the game, and as a game its half decent, but it does seem far too rushed. some details and shading is off, some of the layers are out of sync, (the tau hq and sisters of battle immolator are two examples)

the flying units are a great addition though, but they tend to either be too weak or too strong, maeing you'll either play the game and forget they ever created flying units, or just spawn on mass millions of flyers, send them to the enemies base and destroy the vital buildings with no thought or skill required.

the animations have basically stayed the same as the original dawn of war, which were brilliant, but now seem a little exhausted. the mea campaign (one of the ... Read More:

HALF-LIFE 2 & EPISODES

A lot of people say that some games get better with time. Most of those people are lying. Technology just progresses too quickly, trends are as fickle as the capricious northern winds, and games consoles live and die to be immediately replaced with the next model. Games just don't get better.

"Half-Life 2" is a game that gets better with time. Not just because people like it, but because it's still going. It's making babies. And, even when you play it for the second or third time, it seems like it's a living, breathing entity.

Since it was first released in 2004, its developer Valve has written two additional "episodes" to the storyline, carrying on from where the first game left off. They knew that they couldn't ... Read More:
