Timeshift (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game

November 02, 2007
I bought this game new from one of Amazons suppliers for £4.16! Yes, insane and it turns out to be one of the all time best FPS I've ever played. It's better than HL2 and far better than Crysis, and looks just as good even though it is DirectX 9.0c. It runs on Vista 32 bit perfectly and does not have any nasty DRM or protection drivers (like Starforce). It looks amazing and is a fantastic shooter with really great weapons. Also despite having an auto-save feature, you can can save at any time, so avoids all that having to redo sections again and again.
It's so good I've just removed COD4 from my computer and put it up for sale on Amazon. At this crazy price is really the bargain of the year. Fantastic.

Saitek Cyborg EVO Joystick (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Saitek

August 15, 2003
I bought the Saitek Cyborg EVO on the recommendation of a friend and on the back of many of the positive reviews on Amazon.

I have to say that it is a a really nicely designed joystick and I did manage to get a fairly full year and a few months out of it. The adjustable hand positions, the multiple button settings (i've had no problem with changing the presets) and the roll bar are all excellent and well placed. So, given all of this, why did I only give this kit 3 stars?

Sadly, I have to agree with one of the other reviews about it's durability and/or craftsmanship. The trigger button barely lasted me a year and I am not such a devoted gamer to justify it breaking. Now, the sensor gets stuck and I find myself firing constantly ... Read More:

Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: THQ

November 23, 2007
I don't think the original Supreme Commander needs any introductions. Suffice to say that it's become by far and away my favourite RTS, beating Dawn of War, C&C 3 etc.

I was really looking forwards to this add-on, particularly the new faction that it adds to the game. In this respect it really delivers - the Seraphim have some awsome units and the additions to the other factions are also great - the individuality of the different factions has been significantly enhanced.

The mini-map and whole user interface have also received a much needed revamp. The in-game interface is now much more customisable, which is very useful as it allows the player to display exactly the information you need. My only criticism is that the mini-map appears to ... Read More:

Command & Conquer: Generals (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Electronic Arts

February 14, 2003
A really excellent experience-and one for the Command and Conquer hall of fame-in context perhaps not better than the older red alerts and command and conquers-but an improvement with the times and consistent with the quality we have come to expect.
Firstly-the complaints about the game that I've heard:
1. If you have a problem with the graphics being too high-what are we supposed to lower the quality of the graphics just because they don't run on some peoples machines?-and if you had a 32mb graphics card when this was released then you're just pushing it-advance with the times. The graphics are excellent, 3d, exciting and explosive-see your jets home in on and destroy enemy positions with missiles or hundreds of tanks advance across the landscape.

Trust Compact Vibration Feedback Steering Wheel GM-3200 (PC/PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Trust


Bought this steering wheel as i wanted to play NFS underground on my PC. It works great with it. Plug in and play, no messing around with drivers etc. Been playing around for a few hours and its great fun, gives driving games a different feel, instead of press left/right on 2 buttons.

There are 6 levels of sensitivity, so should suit your needs, and has vibration. Which you can switch on/off.

Good value for money, recommended.

The Longest Journey (PC DVD ROM)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Xplosiv

October 27, 2006
I say stick with it as some of the characters are a tad verbose,the priest's dialogue goes on for months!!,the story is very intriguing and April as the reluctant hero is fantastic,none of the puzzles are too obscure,save for the stones one,and overall it beats most other point and click hands down,I actually had to buy two copies as my first split in half!!,it's actually a fairly sizeable game too although there is a lot of going over old ground.

I have played many civil war Sims indeed many napoleonic sims too!
they have all been at best good.
TC 2nd Manassas is like no other ever made!
The Graphics as so detailed so clear so smooth, the sound is something else! I am a member of the Forum of Mad minute games, these are the people who designed this sim, when you buy the sim and join the forum, you get new maps new battles etc Stones river, Sharpsburg, Gettysburg,Champions hill, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, Chickmauga.
All these maps which are so beautifully created and so accurate will take your breathe away!
The sound of insects can be heard in the back ground, the flags of the regiments gently flap in the breeze, you are their! back in 1862
all in all no other Sim comes anywhere near ... Read More:
