Buzz! The Music Quiz (PS2)

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

October 21, 2005
Bought this for my friend for xmas and we all had the most fun we had had in ages, i wish i owned a ps2 now! Younger kids tend to struggle with it a bit as the new music is quite a large range. There are so many levels, i only wish there was an expansion pack so you can add more songs/questions as i have seen them start to repeat. Well worth the money though.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Party Edition (includes Buzz! Buzzers) (PS2)

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

November 24, 2006
This is adequately enjoyable take on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", however, it is basically the old playstation game but with more character, more colour and of course Buzz! buzzers.

This will keep you entertained for quite a while particularly if there are three or more people playing competetively but the games are all very similar and the questions quite hard. Often when all the players are unwilling to buzz in and get the question wrong, they all end up sitting and waiting for the time to run out which as you can imagine gets very tedious.

The characters are amusing for a while but you will quickly find their stereotypical catchphrases getting on your nerves and will most likely begin playing with the sound off. ... Read More:

Athens 2004

We have had hours of fun with this game. And we do not find it boring after some time. We change our nation every time, just to see the weightlifters. A good laugh every time. I have found the solution to the button-bashing. I use a teaspoon, rather than my nails. You can get pretty good speed by running the spoon over the X and O buttons. It also makes it easyer to breathe while swimming. Only the horse-jumping and the hurdles are quite tricky. But you can still get on the podium even if you fail in those events. All and all a good game with pretty good graphics. Only the danish commentator is a bit of a plum!!!

Test Drive Unlimited (PS2)

Just arrived at the airport, go buy a car and a house to put it in with the cash in your pocket. Next, drive about Oahu searching for races. Earn more cash, buy more cars and buy biggers houses. And thats it.

You can drive around aimlessly or use the GPS to guide you. The races themselves are standard affair, time trials, one on one, 4 in a race etc. and they are easy to find and access. Graphics are good, not great but there is a distinct lack of atmosphere.

The problem with the game is the sandbox style itself. Its nice to drive around and visit Pearl Harbor and stuff but then you realise that you spend as much time driving around as you racing. Then you find that you have to drive to events miles apart and you spend more time ... Read More:

Datel Max Memory 32MB (PS2)

... but that is the only attraction of this card. You see: yes, you can store all of your game saves on on little card, but it really isn't worth it. Why?
Because the card is horrendously slow. You may want to have some extra space but the difference in saving & loading times is phenomenal, leave alone noticable. A game that should take 4 seconds to save on the standard 8MB Sony Memory Card, may easily take 20 seconds to save with this one. Basically, this card is the definition of quantity over quality, and it's up to you which is most important. Personally, I would recommend forking out the extra money and buying the four seperate Sony 8MB memory cards- the time saved on loading Pro Evolution Soccer replays alone could be spent working to pay off the overheads.

The Sims 2: Castaway (PS2)

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

October 26, 2007
This game is a great idea, and it does have some fantastic aspects such as food recipes, harvesting woods and creating clothes and housing items. You can even keep chickens and grow vegetables - although the item limit is rather low especially if you intend to build the mansion.

However there are a LOT of things missing. No kissing, no woohoo, hardly ANY interesting interactions between sims. You can get married but it is difficult and when you look in relationships it still says best friends, not married.

No children and no aging. EA claim that aging cannot be achieved on the PS2. Well they managed to keep growing their hair and beards. Pregnancy, babies and marriage are lacking in this game. Loading times are especially annoying and happen not only ... Read More:

Spider-Man 3 (PS2)

OK lets get things straight. Spidey 3 is not a bad game, it is, in fact, great fun. The additional villains, like Kraven and Lizard, are great competition and wearing the strong and awesome black suit is fantastic.

New York is less enjoyable than SM2 (no times square and no death after jumping off empire state) but the missions are great despite their shortness.

i just wish you could play as new goblin.

i say buy the game if u like the films and fun.

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.

Logic3 PlayStation 2 Controller Adapter for PS3 (PS2/PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2

I bought this and followed the instructions as below and it only half works. The fret bits of the guitar all work and are activated but it treats it as a strum when you press them so you really don't use your right hand for strumming at all, which is a pretty important feature so unless there's something else that anyone knows of to fix that I wouldn't bother.

Though for not needing a Sixaxis controller it'd be spot on.

Killzone (PS2)

I agree with other interviews about being initially put off with all the (misguided) early comparisons with Halo. When I got this game it was cheap and WHAT A BARGAIN! It's got atmosphere, an interesting story, and most of all - the gameplay rocks.

The weapons feel like they could be real and despite being Sci-Fi they're absolutely spot on. Only recently with games like Half-Life 2 and CofD 4 do you really need have the to nail your target unless you're using major hardware. Tonnes of fun.

An overlooked gem.
