Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway (PC)

from: Ubisoft

October 03, 2008

I had been waiting for the release of this title for ages, and when it was delayed another week i was a bit annoyed. However, i picked up my copy yesterday and boy was it worth the wait. I am a hardcore gamer and to be honest, this game offers alot more than your standard fps. Dont get me wrong cod4 is gr8...but it can get a bit boaring after a while. My fav ww2 shooter is the darkest hour mod for red orchestra because of the realism. This game has went straight to the top of the list.

Graphically the game is gorgeous...you could just sit and look and the scenery and forget you are being shot at. There are also some gr8 suttle effects like mud splattering onto the screen and blood. This was in previous games but its done ... Read More:

Lego: Indiana Jones (Nintendo DS)

This is a good game, as much fun as Lego Star Wars. In fact, it's the same game in different clothes. But without the satisfaction of the Jedi Slam. My main issue with it (despite the 4 stars) is that it has a habit of crashing silently at the end of levels. Not crashing altogether, but just failing to provide the actions needed to finish the level, so you can keep playing for hours and never find out what you need to do. Very frustrating, and it always happens at the *end* of a level. e.g. today I was playing a level that involved scaring flocks of seagulls. I think the final flock needs to be scared by firing a bazooka at the cliffs, but as I only got one once, got killed, and no soldiers appeared after that, I won't know until I've replayed ...

Xbox 360 Wireless Bridge (Required For Wireless Online/Live Play)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > VideoGames

December 02, 2005
If you CAN put your Xbox360 near to your wireless router and run a cable then you SHOULD.

Wireless is NEVER faster than a cable.

However, if like me, this is not possible then you must have a bridge. After all, why have an Xbox360 if you are not going to play online?

It is very, very easy to set up and install as long as you have the information that you need about logging into your router.

My own wireless bridge took literally 5 minutes to install.
My work colleague asked me to do his for him and it took over 2 hrs, mainly because his router had a security setting on it which meant that you had to manually type in the 'code' of the machine trying to access the router.

This said, ... Read More:

New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > VideoGames
from: Nintendo

June 30, 2006
This is a really good game. I'd heard fab reviews on it so I bought it myself. It arrived quite slowly but I'd not picked express so nevermind.
At first, you watch a little video, explaining what's going on. Then you pick the first part of world one and carry on going. You can't change charactor, you have to be Mario, but then it makes sense. The games are mixed difficulty; some are easy and some are hard. It does get annoying because if you get stuck on a part of a world, you have to complete it before getting onto the next part. There are 8 worlds all together. In each world there is about 10 levels. Each world is set in a different place including, Desert, Space and a more homey setting. I wouldn't get this game if you get easily irritated with ... Read More:

Venom light blaster NOT .I was disappointed when they arrived as they were big ben interactive guns. i bought two of them from timestrobe and there was no mention they were NOT AVenom Light Blaster Gun (Wii) . It does however look the same as the venom but i cant be 100 % sure.It does seem to work well with ghost squad. I dont think its fair that its advertised as one thing and its not.

Although (at the moment) this card appears to work fine in my DS, people should be aware that this is a copy of the original R4 card.

Endless Ocean (Wii)

from: Nintendo

I think this game is great, but its definitely not for the hard core gamer market. My six year old also loves it, she's played it the most (some 20 hrs in a week). There is a plot to it, and some tasks, but on the whole they are both relatively simple. The fun is finding & identifying the sea life and seeing what animals will turn up on your boat. The "ocean" can get a bit familiar - its all basically tropical reef & white sand - although there are some "features" like a cave, ruin, deep raveen etc. We can all identify a load more breeds of sea life than we could before. Definitely worth the price. Very relaxing to just drift about in the sea for a while after work!

After digging up the old Alpha Centari game, I wanted to play some of the newer ones.
Found this and Loved it!
Very addiction, nice graphics. Didn't have any compatibility or crash issues with it.
I would say that the characters in the game can be some what annoying and almost a bit childish, but can be easily ignored!
Overall a very fun and worth while game with lots of different out comes.

Imagine Teacher (Nintendo DS)

I am addicted to this game. I have been playing on it for a few days now and i have found that it is an enjoyable and exciting game.
In the past imagine games have been a bit dissapointing but this one is by far the best.
At the start of the game you are the only techer in a little school with 4 pupils. As you progress through the game the school gets bigger and more succsessful.
At the start of each week you create the timetable and while teaching the lesson you complete a number of tasks in order to teach them and then you mark one of the kids work at the end of the lesson.
At the end of the day you can personlise the classroom, clean the classroom, practise lessons or give the kids extra tuition.
This game is excellent and ... Read More:
