Soldier of Fortune II (Xbox)

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

June 20, 2003
First of all, this game IS a lot of fun. Blasting people away with the devastating arsenal of weapons is good. The's lots of gore. You can see their guts come out and brains splatter. But there are lots of bad things. The graphics are not Xbox worthy (The characters lips move slightly, but their teeth don't). This came out after lots of other games, such as Halo or something, but they are graphics made for a later-generation PS2 game.
The story is almost the (superior) SoF 1's storyline, just different levels.
The guns aren't as fun. They all really exist, which is not good. SoF 1 had a Microwave pulse gun and other stuff like the Slugthrower. Now they make it 'realistic', not basing it on crazy violent fun like SoF 1.

The Hobbit (Xbox)

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

November 28, 2003
One day the Halfling hobbits will rule the Earth. I mean, think about it. They are awfully smart, too intelligent for their own good. They can see and hear things a mile away. And they can go invisible before your eyes.

Or at least Bilbo Baggins can. And in the Hobbit you can step into the shoes of the Burglar...Or at least if those little Hobbits had to wear shoes on their leathery soles of theirs. Go around with the Ring, a walking stick and Sting the elvish blade. Such equipment will become you best friends as you travel from the lands of the Hobbits to the Lonely Mountain of Smaug the Dragon.

You will meet Gollum below the Misty Mountains, defend yourself from Giant Spiders and the servants of the Necromancer in Mirkwood, ... Read More:

X-Men: Next Dimension (Xbox)

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

November 22, 2002
Not to be rude to the game's designers, but I really suspect that they have no idea what makes a good game. With a license for an X-Men game, they could have done so much better than the tripe they've actually produced. The action is slow, the characters are unresponsive to a degree that makes your blood boil, and the fighting itself is so tedious due to a lack of variation that it's untrue.
There are little things in the game that would have made it quite good if not for the mind-numbingly dull gameplay, such as the cinematic-esque interaction with the backgrounds, being able to knock each other out of windows, throwing characters into a different room etc. However, the longer you play it the more you'll wonder what on earth possessed you to actually ...

The Sims 2 (Xbox)

November 04, 2005
its just the same as sims deluxe but worse and the only way to play it is to make sure you have a new computer or games console which is a bit annoying because if you buy the games console at least 3 months before you get sims 2 it wont work

Crash Twinsanity (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Naughty Dog

October 08, 2004
I've not played any Crash games since the days of the SNES, so I had no preconceptions of what I would be in for. I'd bought this because my girlfriend was tired of me playing nasty games full of blood and guts, and didn't expect to enjoy it at all.

I was so wrong.

The gameplay is sometimes irritating with its reliance on savepoints, but the plot and humour kept me interested. When Crash first catches up with Dr Cortex and you have to fight him for the power crystal, I laughed so hard I cried. The fight which then ensues was pure genius, though what they did may have been seen before by others. The humiliskate levels brought tears to my eyes again - this time whenever I ground a rail.

I've done my best to be ... Read More:

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Take 2 Interactive

July 22, 2005
I adore Roald Dahl's witty tales because they are full of black and white sense, and the tales are packed with magic and wonderul morals. When I played this XBOX Roald Dahl's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory I thought it was spectauclaur! It was full of loads of challenging tasks and quirky missions! Plus, it contained the black and white sense that happens in Roald Dahl's wonderous stories! And it contained the darkness from the new Warner Brothers and Tim Burton feature film. It is a great XBOX game, so get it and play it on your TFT Monitor if you have once. I love the music on The Wonkabot level's background music, and my favroite level is the chocolate room! Smell you later Amazon!

Fight Night Round 3 (Xbox)

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

March 10, 2006
Fight Night 3 is the first boxing game I've ever bought. The first time I played it i went straight onto the Career mode. I thoght 'Wow this is great!' but the career mode is very, very repetitive, you start of as an ameteur boxer and make your way to be the next champion. It's the same after every fight - Sing contract, Train and then fight. Althogh the career mode lacks, the overall game play is really good - loads of different types of hits (including illeagal blows!) Great graphics, great sound and commentary and lots of famous boxers (Ricky Hatton my favourite!) Overall a great, fun game.

Darkwatch (Xbox)

October 07, 2005
I remember when Doom 2 first came out on PC, I was single and had the money to go out and buy a new PC just so that I could play the game that the office staff were playing in their lunch hours. Now years later I am forced to buy the games I want to play at local cheap second hand games shop, to play on the kids X-box after they have gone to bed. My financial position may have changed but the 1st person `shoot `em up' continues to go from strength to strength.

I first saw this game advertised on Gamer TV a while back and thought that the mixture of vampires and the wild west - though bizarre - was really up my dark street and a game that I would try and get of a copy of.

In this game you play Jericho Cross, a seasoned outlaw, who has the misfortune whilst ... Read More:

I have 3 kids between 5 and 10 years of age. They love this game! They have had this game for a few years and keep coming back for more every now and then. It does get quite hard the further you go along. I also enjoy playing it when the kids can't get past a certain part of the game. Some brilliant ideas and can be very addictive.
