Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (PS3)

from: Electronic Arts

September 05, 2008
First off is the graphics are like a good ps2 game, first hour I spent on it and I completed it 20% so its not a long game straight off, I was really looking forward to this game as the first mercenaries was brilliant couldn't stop playing it, but they have really lost this game, having more space on a disc is for a reason look at mgs brilliant game crisp graphics and exellent gameplay mgs is what make's me keep my ps3 because when a good title comes out it make it all worth wile, so in short save you 30-40 quid and by something better

Also I'm making it a rule from now on never to buy a ps3 game that has been released on a ps2, the only one that has worked is half life2

World of Warcraft (Mac/PC)

WoW is undoubtably the greatest game created so far. I have to agree with those who warn of possible addiction. It will take months to get to level 70 (soon to be level 80) and that is where the game really begins. You will then meet people who will really show you what a noob (novice) you are and this is after several months of playing! The game is so time consuming that at the top level you haven't got time to do both PvE (player v the environment) and PvP (player v player) so you have to specialise to become really good in one or the other.

The game reigns supreme but it does have its competitors. Warhammer Online has just been realised and may prove to be as good (doubtful as I find the combat ponderous). The next expansion for ... Read More:

Cooking Guide (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC and Video Games
from: Nintendo

June 20, 2008
Personally I found this to be total rubbish,

Even after following recipes to the letter I end up with very unsatisfactory results.... runny sauces et al.

The speech recognition has to be disabled because when you use it and do anything remotely noisy (like chopping ingredients!!!) it thinks you are speaking and it gets totally confused taking you back through the cooking instructions.

This means you have to use the stylus which is hardly ideal when cooking. It was very disappointing given I thought I had found something useful to do with my DS rather than 'training my brain' or zapping aliens....

I would say spend you're money on a good Delia cook book.

Maybe I got a dud, but I found this to work fine for a few months, and then it decided to pack in and no longer charge the batteries.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PC)

from: Konami

October 17, 2008
So here we are again, ready for another Konami offering of PES. Keep in mind that i have only played the demo (pc) so i won't get too excited here!

I can understand the complaints people had over PES 2008 - yes it had bugs but overall, i felt the series was taking positive steps forward. This year, the ref's decisions are better and helps improve game flow. Offside decisions are still late but you could argue this is realistic!! As for teamplay, your teammates run into space better often holding up their hands for possession. I was able to play a lofted through ball from one side of the pitch to the other with relative ease. I think this game can be a big success if the public are patient with it.

Overall, a good demo and i look forward to the ... Read More:

The Sims 2: IKEA Home Stuff (PC CD)

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

June 27, 2008
Perhaps I was wrong to expect more from it, but it seemed like there just weren't enough new items in this pack to justify the cost. Colour options are quite limited, so you can't always get the shape of sofa you like, for example, to match the colours in the rest of the room, and a lot of the things that I've seen at Ikea and would want to have appeared in the game weren't included. I think they picked the most popular Ikea products, and though I find it funny that the sims can now have a bookshelf identical to mine, there's not much variety, and the designs chosen are mostly the simpler, boxy ones, rather than anything more daring. Although it's called 'Home stuff', you basically get items for a few styles of living room, study and bedroom - there's nothing for the bathroom ... Read More:

Tetris DS (Nintendo DS)

Hi,

I'm not a bad player at Tetris. I liked the original Gameboy version and I actually wrote a faster version in less than a day for an old Psion organiser (remember those?) and called it Turbotris! I used to play my own version of the game but noone else I knew could play it at the fastest settings. The reason I could play so fast was that in the original gameboy version (and my faster remake) I always knew where to put the next piece before I'd dropped the current piece in. This was because the next piece was clearly shown at a convenient eye level next to the playing area so you could see both at the exact same time.

The trouble I have with the DS version (I've only played the wifi 2 player game so far) is that I am playing blind even though now it ... Read More:
