Mario Kart DS (Nintendo DS)

This is my all time favourite DS game, unlike many other games, it doesn't get boring quickly, it remains fun for like ever. As you play more characters are added, you originally begin with Marion, Luigi, Peach Donkey Kong, Yoshie and Bowser, then later you progress to 12 players, each with seven karts each. With only one game, you can send off a signal to players who have and DON'T have Mario Kart! It is very fun, and begins with eight different racecourses, and eventually, it progresses to 64 depending on how well you're doing, there is Grand Prix, where you select a cup and complete those four races, Time Trials to race against the clock, VS to play random, chosen or in order courses against the other players, with the option of a team.

Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Console (Black)

I love this little bundle of joy. Is excellent fun, keeps me entertained and out of trouble. Is easy to take anywhere - excellent for those being sent on courses or away from home through work, or just for something to do in the evening. The range of games available to use with this are increasing with plenty of choice for all, and there's no need to power up, plug in, or go to the study/spare room/computer room if you fancy five minutes on it. Is also very easy to use so no hours of trawling through a manual before enjoying the fun.

More Brain Training (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

You get what you're expecting from this game - whether it actually trains your brain or not is another matter. But it's to Dr Kawashima's credit that he's made maths fun!

One problem I've encountered is that it refuses to understand me in the 'speaking' levels - I have a standard (not broad) Scottish accent and it just doesn't want to understand. Having tried my very best comedy Japanese-English and American accents, I have to conclude that Dr Kawashima has it in for me on the speaking games.

Otherwise, it's quite fun, and the progress monitoring lets you see how much better you're getting.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (PS3)

I do not claim to know a lot more than most people about this game. But from the demo it is obvious that the game has amazing promise, if you unlock its full potential. For those who have played the demo; you should know that that is not the extent of the game, the Secret Apprentice's powers grow from then on, so you won't be disappointed. The only flaw that I can see so far is the apparent lack of multiplayer, but I have not yet confirmed this point, so there is still a possibility of multiplayer.

I recommend this game to anyone who truely likes Star Wars and/or those who just want to have some fun throwing Stormtroopers around

Beijing 2008 (Xbox 360)

Ok first off the events are great with a nice variety of controls. And the events will leave you as sweaty as the athletes as you bash those buttons. The only poor event for me is Judo which despite many attempts I just can't get to work.

Where this game falls down however is in it's lack of choice of countries and on-line play. I play other games on-line but if I try this with 8 people and 100m run the lag is dreadful and the connection usually drops. I think it can't handle all the rapid button imputs. So your going to need a very high speed internet connection for this to work. Mine does ok with 4 people. Also some of the events which run as knockout like table tennis and archery do not run concurrently so you have to sit there for ages as everyone ... Read More:

Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360)

I'd rather play San Andreas again than this average game. Considering the power of the Xbox 360 i would say rockstar have hit a reverse gear. GTA IV is absolutley nowhere near the level of playability that SA had. What happened the aim??? GTA always had aiming isues when it came to shooting/killing folk, but with GTA IV the aiming has gone right back to square one. It's hopeless.

The missions are unbelivably samey. I can't really see a huge difference in graphics from previous versions of GTA either.

All in all, the game seems rushed with nowhere near the amount of thought gone into it as previous versions.

Disappointed.

SanDisk for Wii 2GB SECURE DIGITAL (GAMING)

This SD card does exactly whats its meant to do. It can backup VC and wiiware games and game saves. It can hold any type of media you want and it is useful for transferring stuff between computer and wii like screenshots and stages on super smash bros brawl. Having said all this though any SD card can do this and this one has a large price tage considering what it is so save your money and go for a cheaper one.

Wii Wheel (Official)

A Wii wheel comes with MarioKart the game but MarioKart comes into its own when you are racing someone else.

With one wheel and 2 children it was arguments every time the game was played - an extra wheel was a must.

The wheel transforms the game and the official wheel feels the best and is worth a couple of extra pounds.
