Conflict: Desert Storm II (XBox)

I thought this was very good, you can see the faces of the people as you squeeze off a few rounds, if you see them before they see you then you punish them, bad, if not just pour it on and fight your way out of it, it's just fun, you get a wide selection of weapons on each level, loads of ammo, you can switch between four different soldiers, you get stats back after each level what your accuracy was etc., I have played this so much I'm never selling it

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: THQ

November 14, 2003
If you're not into fast-paced action games but want a game which has a very good story, lets you take your time to explore areas, find items and discover how to use them in order to solve puzzles - this just might be for you.

From first inserting the game into my Xbox, I could not play anything else until I had completed this roughly 3 weeks later. It is that compelling.

Graphics-wise it is good (not great but decent enough) and you get quite a few Video clips which almost makes you feel like you are watching a movie at times. It is the story and the puzzle solving which really drives this game however.

You get to play 2 characters in the game both male and female (which is nice because I am a female gamer ... Read More:

James Bond: From Russia With Love (Xbox)

I've played some good james bond games in my time but this one tops the scale! This game puts you in the shoes of sean connery following the story and the film of the classic bond film 'from russia with love'. But obviosly there are some bad sides to the game like disappointing graphics, all very small things. But-in-all a brilliant Game!

The Suffering (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Midway Games Ltd

May 14, 2004
This along with Max Payne was a game I never thought I'd buy due to it's much publicised,at the time,bad language/violence,however when it was cheap enough I thought I'd chance it.
I was wrong,yes they do swear a lot but they are on death row,I didn't expect them to be model citzens as it were.
My main reason for buying it was mainly that I love third person adventure games,especially horror ones and after being disappointed with Shadowman 2(glitchy mess as it is)I thought this was a good substitute.
The controls are very good and the camera is excellent,unlike Shadowman where the camera went almost vertical time and again leaving me to play it like Gauntlet or having to use the sniper rifle's scope every five seconds to see what was in ... Read More:

Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes (Xbox)

I will tell you now, it is better to be a veteran of the original game before playing this.
I am and I still got wasted after the first few of Ellen's missions, the game difficulty is seriously cranked up, it is even tougher than the first one.
The story line is awesome, gameplay rocks, it is a perfect blend of strategy and combat. This game absolutely rocks but it is NOT for the faint of heart. If your the kind of person who can't hack losing then I would recommend a slightly easier game, it took me a very long time to complete. when you finish a campaign save your game and then load it again, I recall that if you reload a completed campaign you can travel across the world and fight in every corner of the map.
If that isn't enough then there is a feature ... Read More:

The Chronicles of Riddick - Escape from Butcher Bay (Xbox Classics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Sierra

September 30, 2005
this has to be one of my favourite games on the Xbox, im a big fan of the film(s) anyway but dont worry if you didnt like the plot in the chronicles of riddick film, this is a different story. as the title suggest, your in butcher bay, a notorious prison that no one could possibly escape from? it really is quite a brilliant game in every way, the graphics are beautiful and the prison is incredably dirty and dingy and quite discusting... its great, no shiny boring metalic walls here, everything is covered in unique graffiti. the gameplay is also amazing, admitidly, the controls seem a bit slow and sluggish at first but after a while, you'l realise that they are perfect. the sound is also a high point in this great game, inmates and guards chatter amongst themselves and the voice talent is ...

Pariah (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Hip Interactive

May 06, 2005
If you are a hardened gamer, having come up through the ages of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, R.O.T.T. and on to gems such as Halo etc... Then you understand gameplay and the advances made in the industry with regards to A.I. texture mapping and lighting.

That said, Pariah was a HUGE dissapointment dispite some nifty graphics, but my fears were soon confirmed upon the game loading up. After seeing slightly more than 1 developer responsible for the game i became uneasy.

-The story is convoluted, with no real character development or background explored.

-The cut-scenes do little to explain anything properly

-Other annoying little glitches in gameplay, like side-step (too slow)

-Ludicrous movement restrictions

This is miles better than the ps2 version, i own both consoles and had to buy the game on the xbox as the ps2 version doesn't have online and as the kids dont know how to do the moves they have the option to play automatic although i still beat them being the legend i am at street fighter but its fun, its jam packed with features, everything you could want in a street fighter game. the SNK characters are surprisingly good and enjoyable to play with. anyone who likes steet fighter has got to get this game and test their skills online. you have a number of grooves to choose from which have different combo and special moove systems, you can even create your own groove to suit you, it has evil characters which have to be unlocked, vs mode, 2 types of survival mode, arcade mode, you can edit your ...

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Atari

November 28, 2003
In this game - the official one of the movie - you get to play as the Terminator (a T-850, as portrayed by Schwarzenegger in the film). It's a 'first-person' shooter, with - for the most part - a free roaming environment.

The story is simple: in the year 2032 you're reprogrammed by the human fighters, and you're mission is to make your way into Skynet and find the time-travel equipment. Then, sent back to 2003, you must protect John Connor from the TX.

There are plenty of levels - and, for the most part, these involve engaging in battles with other terminators and Skynet baddies (from T-900's to Hunter/Killers) in the future. As such, only a small part of the game involves being in 2003, i.e. the events of the film. Given this, the game "adds" to the overall story. ... Read More:
