Microsoft Train Simulator (PC CD)

This is still a better and more accuarate simulation than the newer Rail Simulator. The artwork is dated by current standards. However, the editors included allow you to tailor the routes and content to suit.

Plenty of quality add-ons. At this price is GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY and still the leading rail sim!

The review by "Olsta" that seems first up when I log on, sums up the nature of this game.

Nintendo will eventually release the Wii version so you can steer with the Wiimote. In the meantime this version is a great way to enjoy a truly great game for all the family. As with all Gamecube games on disc you need the Gamecube controllers (Not the Wii Classic one) and a Gamecube memory card if you want to save progress and points. Memory is not necessary to play when the family just load it up for an hour of fun! I got a set of Gamecube wireless controllers to keep the wirefree environment (Madcatz ones), and invested in an original Gamecube memory card due to forums indicating problems with third party ones. We have had no problems using this on ... Read More:

Zoo Tycoon Triple Pack: Includes Zoo Tycoon, Dino Digs and Marina Mania (PC CD)

This is a great game. I have sat for countless hours playing this game, if you have a steady supply of food you may never want to move from the screen. The selection of animals is amazing and the information given about each is very helpful, especially when the hyena's never seem happy with their home! As for the added joy of Dinosaurs, Marine Animals, Yetis, Unicorns (oh, yes!) in fact I must stop writing this review to go back to playing...

Off Road (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Suitable for 3 years and over
from: Empire

played this last night and have to agree with other reviewers, basic and not much fun - bought it for my 6 year old though and I'm sure he'll love it (will have to wait for birthday..) - but will be a bit of a chore for me to play it with him. Been playing Colin McRae 2.0 and that is miles ahead of Off Road in every respect (in spite of being 8 years old). In-game controls are very basic - steering works heavily but maybe just need to fine tune it, overall feels like an old fashioned game - and was hoping for car damage as in Colin McRae - but instead you just get some sparks if you collide and later black smoke.
Also - many of the tracks seem to be locked?? So - I have to 'defeat the desert' before I can pick something else?
Basic basic basic. ... Read More:

I Brought This from argos with action replay itself. it worked for a few days, then i had to copy a save from one memory card to another. so i took the max memory card out. when i put it back in later, it wouldn't work! and i lost all of my saves
a waste of money!

Happy Feet (PS2)

This is the type of game you'd buy for a child of about 6 or 7 who likes Penguins.

Much like the film, you play the cute Penguin Mumble, who can't
sing but can tapdance brilliantly, for a penguin. The levels are basic, Dancing, Sleding down a cliff or
swimming, and most levels you have to collect things.
The graphics are pretty good, if a little bit chunky, but
the gameplay could be more varied. ***

Tamagotchi Connexion Corner 2 (Nintendo DS)

I think this game is really fun and young children will really enjoy it.
There are loads of shops you can play in and each one is different. The idea of the game is to buy and work in different shops with your Tamagotchi buisness partner and try and make your shops bigger and unlock new ones. All the Tamagotchis are really sweet and children will enjoy playing in the unique shops and serving the cute Tamagotchis. My favourite shop is the Clinic which is fun but I took a long time to figure out how to play it. The downsides of this game are some shops are easy to play and get boring afer a while and once all the shops are the biggest the game can get very dull.
