Kingdom Hearts II Platinum (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Square Enix


The Kingdom Hearts series is renowned for being a thing of greatness. Ever since Kingdom Hearts 1, the once-unfathomable idea of Disney and Final Fantasy crossing over has proved to be a thing of true-creative genius, beautiful presentation and totally enjoyable gameplay.

With this Platinum release, it now means you can treat yourself to a classic at a bargain price. And I can't recommend it enough. Two years after its original release, it's STILL a mandatory purchase.

Kingdom Hearts 2 takes place a year after the events of Chain of Memories. But before Sora, Donald and Goofy make their return, the story starts out in a world called Twilight Town, focusing on a newcomer called Roxas. Roxas is being plagued with dreams ... Read More:

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening - Special Edition (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Capcom

September 29, 2006
The game's awesome, great and challenging. I love playing the game most of the time. Especially since it lets you play Vergil too along with our all time favourite Dante. The only cons of this game that I experienced is that sometimes it takes the mick and if you're a short-tempered person, believe me you'll either end up shrieking your lungs out to the world, make your fingers become frail and sore or most likely break your controller (like me - I had to buy a new one during mission 8). This is one of those hardcore games for the best players.

FIFA Street (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Electronic Arts

March 11, 2005
Gone are the polished corporate stadiums of lesser games, in Fifa Street you play in the neighbourhood. From the picturesque riverbanks of Roma in Italy to the gritty shanty towns of Brazil through to a disused railway shed in London. In all there are ten locations scattered throughout the world with all but three needing to be unlocked before they can be played on. The attention to detail is astounding with the statue de Christo Redentor overlooking the Rio de Janeiro pitch and the urban graffiti in plentiful supply in the old Manhattan basketball court subpoenaed for footballing purposes.

Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance II (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Acclaim

February 06, 2004

This series is developing nicely we now have 5 new characters to choose from and a further two to unlock. The game play remains the same but with a better storyline and a larger game world. Character development has also evolved there are now more special feats and skills per character with an opportunity to upgrade your class later in the game.

The game is even better when played with friends. As Black Isles is no more I hope this is not the end of this series as there is plenty more that they could do to improve this series.

If you enjoyed the original Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance or Champions of Norath then you will certainly enjoy this title.

WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2007 (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: THQ

November 10, 2006
WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 completely blows every other wrestling game out of the water. The season mode is better, the general manager mode is better, and the graphics are the best they have ever been.

Another good thing about this game is that every superstar is on the brand they are supposed to be on (for the time being). Randy Orton is on Smackdown, and is supposed to be on Raw. Kane is on Raw, and is supposed to be on Smackdown. Oh well, they did all they could.

There is also a major glitch in this game. If you choose a tag team match, they will only say one superstar's name as you are making your way to the ring. They make so many copies of these that they were bound to mess some of them up.

Simpsons Road Rage (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Electronic Arts

November 08, 2001
When i started playing this game it was great, driving round Springfield getting people to their destinations, but after 3 days it was just boring, doing the same thing over and over again to earn a million dollars, and when i did get 1 million, you didnt get anything for it!
Having said this, the multiplayer is a lot of fun, and you do get some cool characters and cars.

Unless you like games that last for a few days, do not buy this.

Half-Life (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Sierra

November 30, 2001
I've never played the PC version although now I've got one that can run the 'generations'version and not the original and I still stick with this one.
I bought it a while ago after the hype proclaiming it to be the best FPS ever,and I thought it was...ok.
After 3 or 4 hours that had changed and I was well and truly hooked,I've only just read some of the more negative reviews here and what can I say?
Er,what slowdown?,I've played it through several times and never noticed any slowdown at all,Phantasy Star Universe,yes,Quake III,yes,Unreal Tournament,definitely but this?,Not that I'd noticed.
Like I said I've not played the original so don't know what that looks like but considering when this came out I find the graphics actually pretty good,I've got ... Read More:

Conflict: Desert Storm (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Eidos

September 13, 2002
Ok, so first you start on the main menu.
Which is preety easy to understand, and straight forwards... and none of those complicated menus, that you can't find anything.

Then you start the game; loading times are ok, not the fastest... but you don't feel fustrated by the wait.

The tutorial mode is also great, it's not boring like a lot of game tutorials out there.
This one, you even come to laugh with the way that the major talks to you.

But the controls are so easy, that you don't even need to do the tutorial.
Do it anyway, just for a laugh.

You start the campaign, and you are quickly drawn into the magnificent graphycs, and the environment.

The characters are easy to control, and issuing a comand ... Read More:

Cricket 07 (PS2)

November 23, 2006
Cricket games have not really got the attention that other EA Sports games such as Tiger Woods PGA Tour or FIFA. And now with Codemasters' Brian Lara series out EA needed to make big improvements or they will not sell.

Batting is now massively improved since 05 with the new so called 'Century Stick' where you move the analog stick in the direction where you want to hit it. Sometimes it is a bit unresponsive so you may end up blocking a shot rather than hooking it for six. Also new is a timing gauge which means you need to play your shot on ideal timing or you will edge it or not hit it far. A good batsman such as Sachin Tendulkar has a large ideal timing bar and a bad one such as Glen McGrath has a small one so you can usually edge it behind. There is a difficulty setting ...
