Cooking Mama (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Suitable for 3 years and over
from: 505 Games

May 11, 2007
This game is sooo funny! especially when playing against other people. It's nice to see a game that makes good use of the Wii controller as you use it to chop, stir, toss, peel etc. Make sure you are sitting in a good position as it can get frustrating when you are madly trying to stir your soup and its not picking up your actions. The only fault i would say is that cooking mama's voice has a terrible accent! i would of preferred they had changed the voice for the UK market as sometimes its difficult to understand what she has said. I guess that does add to the comedy value of this game however. Who would of thought a game about cooking would be so fun!. I do question the lastability of the game - there is only so much 'cooking' you want to ... Read More:

Dolphin Island (Nintendo DS)

dolphin island is a grate game but it is easy from day 1 to day 4 but then it gets harder at day 5 and onwards. you can train dolphins and other animals in the park. where it gets hard is on day 20 because 2 men in black say you have failed the mission, but if you match the sign go you are safe but if you don't... when you have trained the dolphins enough you can control the shows that are on.
it's a great game!!

Powerplay DS Lite Deluxe Pink Accessory Pack (Nintendo DS)

If you've got a DS this is great, it has every accessory you could ever need for your pink DS. And it's really great value for everything you get.

The carry case is nice and robust plus has plenty of room for extra games and the emergency charger is a really nifty idea, great for travelling for those just in case moments.

Overall this is a really well thought out package and I'm delighted I bought one.

Madden NFL 09 (Xbox 360)

Over the years, I feel that where new Madden games have gone wrong is a lack of something new year after year. Sure, we've been given Superstar mode in which you create a player and use him individually on every single down, we've been given create-a-fan which was quite original and we've been given fantasy mode in which you select a team, using points and the better you do the better players you can get. These aside, there have been editions that didnt really include any changes.
This year we are treated to one of the best new features I personally have ever seen; The Madden IQ test. This tests your skill in run offense and defense and pass offence and defense. Depending on how well you partake these challenges will adjust CPU AI in each aspect ... Read More:

Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise (Nintendo DS)

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

I played this game shortly on Xbox 360 and I wanted it ever since. I wasn't going to buy the Microsoft console for just one game so I was delighted to know it was coming on Nintendo DS. Compared to the Xbox the pinatas are less cute but it is compensated by more playability with a drop down screen. The game is really addictive and unlike animal crossing or nintendog, this is more challenging; when the nasty pinatas start infecting your garden with diseases, you have got to find a solution fast. Always a million things to think about, between which plants to grow, to attract which pinata without it being eaten by a pinata you have already...
Lots of hours of fun to come!

Nintendogs Dalmatian & Friends (Nintendo DS)

After seeing my child struggle for over 40 minutes to get the nintendo machine to recognise the name she was calling (has to happen more than three times) and allow her to type it in, I felt compelled to warn other parents. It is a shame, its a good game which has been completely killed off by unnecessary voice recognition security. I hope someone from nintendo is listening, I am sure people have returned this game due to this design fault.

Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 (Wii)

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

November 16, 2007
This game lacks the storyline of the first Raving Rabbids. It's lots of mini-games - some are silly and VERY short, whilst others are really great fun. I like the Bumper cars game (especially if you have more than one wiimote and therefore more of your friends can play against you) and I like the music ones whereby you have to move the wiimote and nunchuck in time with the music (Funky Town, Satisfaction by Rolling Stones, Smoke on the water to name but a few). It's definitely worth spending £15 to get this game. You will find it fun no matter what age you are.

Solitaire: Ultimate Collection (Nintendo DS)

I gave this to my 76 year old mother (with a new DS) a few weeks ago, and I've not seen her since!

She's addicted. (And now understand why teenage boys crowd round computer game consols in shops!)

There's a huge choice of Solitaire games, almost too many to keep track of what you've tried etc. I wish they would bring something like this out with over a 100 word games.

If you like card games, you will like this - a bargain for the price.
