Gran Turismo Platinum

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


Actually. GT2 never made it, because it should have had the GT2 'Demo' layout with unavailable things open. But. GT1 is still the best after all those years. In Arcade mode you only get six manufacturers. but you have ten in the Gran Turismo mode where you get behind the wheel of a second-hand FC Efini RX-7. a Honda Prelude or Toyota Supra. As you win races. you get more money to 'upgrade' your car to make it faster. You will need 'licenses' to enter certain races. The B Licence is very easy. and allows you to enter the 'Sunday Cup' a championship race with slow cars. But. the A license is very hard, and the IA License is full lap courses to be completed within the time limit. And. you will eventually have a Dodge Viper. and then one of the ... Read More:

Resident Evil - Platinum (PS)

from: Avalon Interactive


I bought this long after I had got RE2 and played the Code:Veronica demo on the Dreamcast and in an issue of Dreamcast Magazine (Nemesis review) it was horrified at the possible prospect of this being put on the Dreamcast since everything else was,Speculations aside I bought this and within a couple of minutes I was hooked,yes the graphics are dated,the dialogue is terrible but it has atmosphere in spades.

Star Wars Episode 1: the Phantom Menace Platinum

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

November 10, 2000
I remember when I bought this in Autumn 1999. For the next month-two months upon purchasing it I was hooked. I thought this was the best Wars game yet and I'm a big wars fan me.

I loved the lightsaber fights, the gun battles and sometimes just mucking about slaughtering the innocent villagers when I knew I would fail the mission anyway. I found the Escape From Theed mission where you have to escort Queen Amidala to safety a tough cookie though. Eventually I found my way through it.

Yes I'll admit that by todays standards there are a few glitches but sometimes it's just great to pick up and play.

May the force be with you.

Dancing Stage Euromix - Platinum (PS)

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

November 16, 2001
This is a great game with a workout mode that lets you burn lots of calories, listen and dance at the same time as having fun! It has four differant levels to each song (the basic "beginner", "standard" and "difficult" with an extra one thrown in for "experts". As you work through the levels you will be introduced to new charactures who will dance along in front of phycadellic backgrounds! There are also loads of songs to chose from, ranging from very slow to VERY FAST!
BUT...The only problem is that this is a wonderful game for beginners, if you are like me, you will want more. I have heard of games that let you make your own sequences up and have arrows that dissapear, when i found out that my game had very few of those features, i was a little depressed.

Croc

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


With these weird looking Crocodile Shoes, which have been out recently, there is only one thing that they really remind me of. And it's the game Croc game which I have for the Playstation 1.

At first, you think that Croc is an ugly looking creature because of the looks on the Box Cover. But in reality, what you see on the box is different towards the game as Croc is slightly more lighter in a green colour, cute looking and almost has a match towards the video game character "Yoshi"!

One day a baby carriage was dropped on a mysterious island, home to the Gobbos. When the King of the Gobbos peered inside the carriage, he noticed a baby Crocodile. Trusting the Crocodile he decided to raise it to become one of Gobbos. Many years past and Croc grew ... Read More:

Best of Abe's Oddysee

I read a bad review for this, and couldn't believe the points the reviewer made - they can all be explained =p.
First off - The game is so strategic - the point is not to be seen by a bad guy, unless you have an escape route figured. That's what makes it so clever.
Secondly, the humour? It was like, 11 years ago lol - so it's not that modern, but still makes you smile. And besides, the voices alone are enough to make you giggle - just listen to them say 'hello' XD.
You do die after getting shot once by a Slig (enemy), but if you possess a Slig, you find Sligs also die from one shot. Not to mention, there are numerous continue points and you have infinite lives.
Honestly, this game is so much more clever than hundreds of more modern games these ... Read More:

UEFA Euro 2008 (PS3)

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

April 18, 2008
1st off, the one and only negative:- its euro 2008 rather than next seasons fifa 2009. if this is what fifa will be like, then bring it on. Ive waited years to be able to create yourself AND play as yourself in a football game, and it was good to see that euro 2008 expanded on fifa 2008's 'be a pro' by creating 'captain your country'. have only had the game a couple of days, but im hooked already, not only can you personally score the winner in the euro 2008 final, but when you do so, why not celebrate using the new interactive celebrations? do a peter crouch 'robot dance', a jurgen klinsmann dive, thank God by pointing to him, or why not just do the old fashioned alan shearer one hand in the air? missing england in euro 2008? then play this and you'll forget about ginger ...

Final Fantasy IX (PS)

Ok i have the platnum version and i have wrote a review about it, but im going to put more detail into this one.

You play as Zidane Tribal a half man half monkey lol possibly the most lovable FF Character ever... yep even better than Cloud and Squall.

I don't know why people put in there reviews not as good as VII, sure its easyer but thats good and its not as frustrating as VII.

The controls we're abit dodgy in VII too, and the controls in this one ROCK!

And in VII you get 3 party members in battle, in IX you get 4.

The characters are more loving(In my opinion)

Equiping is much more easyer which makes the game better.

The graphics are much better than VII, and possibly the best PS1 Graphics ... Read More:

Pandemonium: Platinum (PS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Crystal Dynamics


I got this game when I first got my PS1. I play it now and still think its good...Some may buy this for retro value but if your randomly looking for Playstation 1 games and you stumble across this gem, Buy it! And then tell other people to buy it and heres why you should do that:

Its one of the best platformers out there with very original ideas but with retro touches, The music is seemingly average but within two or three plays you won't be able to get the damn tunes out of your head. This is a good thing in some ways, Altogether this is a need to have title...If you like games then you need to get this. If you like platformers I don't understand why you don't have this.

Value for money as it is also quite hard in some places.

Dino Crisis (PS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Avalon Interactive


This has got to be the best game i've ever played!!! The storyline will keep you gripped to the screen a lot longer than expected & you'll want to carry on solving puzzle after puzzle. With 2 alternate endings & some rewards after you've completed the game this is well worth having in your collection!!!

To some up THE GAME UP...... it's FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!
