Viva Pinata (Xbox 360)

from: Microsoft

This is a very odd game. At first glance its a super-cute Sims or Animal Crossing type of game. But on closer inspection it could have many interpretations, and I'm not entirely sure they considered who their target audience was. The main objective is to "breed" pinatas, by getting them to dance with each other. You can get them to "dance" with their own offspring, feed them to other pinatas, and then beat them to death with a shovel to a chorus of childish cheers. Not that I wish to spoil the "plot" but there is also some cross species breeding involved. And some of the things that the shopkeeper says are clearly not aimed at a young audience. The truth is tho, that I don't think there is enough about this game to appeal to most adults either, ... Read More:

Top Spin 2 (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Take 2 Interactive

April 07, 2006
New to XBOX and new to Topspin, i found this game to be great fun to play and quite addictive! Playing a career mode as your own character draws me back to play game after game. "Zoom" mode on gameplay is much better than having to play at the top of the court. Training is fun and if you switch coaches every year or so you can do a lot more and it DOES help your technique in the game. Overall, i really enjoyed this game and think it'll be one i'll keep and play again and again.

Colin McRae: DiRT (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Codemasters Limited

June 15, 2007
I'm a little disappointed with Codemasters' decision to gradually dumb-down their once sim-orientated games. I understand they are in business and need maximise customers, but why can't we have sim options which can be turned on and off? If they're worried about marketing, they could bury these options in the manual - reviewers would still pick up on them. I remember the great TOCA on PS1, then gradually over the years the games have lost their sim edge. I also cannot stand the Americanism and constant guide voice from an American - this is nothing against America but it just seems so out of context.

Graphics look very good in parts, especially cars, damage, and roadside scenery, but the framerate does suffer quite a bit. It will be interesting ... Read More:

Dark Sector (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: D3 Publisher

April 04, 2008
Dark Sector is a funny old game. Playing as a secret opps agent called Hayden Tenno, you're sent to a Russian state on one final mission, but are infected with a deadly virus that has been ravaging the locals. Somehow, it has served to make you stronger, including metalising your body and giving you a triple bladed boomerang potruding from your hand called a glaive. Your basic quest is to shoot and slash your way through the story, separating as many limbs from your enmies as possible and causing as much destruction as you can along the way.

There's no need to go too much in depth with the story, because it really isnt all that great. It never fully explores itself, presenting characters you dont need to care about and often leaving you alone for ... Read More:

UEFA Euro 2008 (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Electronic Arts

April 18, 2008
Let me start off by saying that I used to hate all the FIFA games since FIFA 98 (Road to World Cup) and was a massive, massive PES fan. Every year I'd drool over the latest PES and play it to death until the next version came out. This continued all the way up to PES 2008 which I found to be absolutely shocking. My how things have changed. FIFA 08 actually blows PES away on gameplay now aswell as having all the squads, kits and bells & whistles that EA have always had.

Anyway, EURO 2008. I wanted to start off by saying how FIFA 08 is the best football game around on any console just to let people know my feelings on the franchise as a whole. After hammering FIFA 08 since I got it, I raised an eyebrow at Euro 2008. Of course I knew EA would throw out ... Read More:

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (Xbox 360)

from: Activision

I found this game to be a huge let down, it really missed it's potential by miles.
When my other half bought me this game I looked forward to playing it, got it out and started spent bout half hr on it and could not get to like it, I thought I'd give it a chance and another couple of goes because I thought I couldn't figure out why I disliked it. I tried the campaigns, quik play and Online and I've come to the conclusion the the game is an absolute waste of time and money.

Pros:
Ummmm ok the graphics are ok nothing special and aren't something not seen b4 and the game play is smooth.

Con: Lacks imagination, campaigns are all identical the maps they just change the colour of the scenery, the mission 3 in each campaign last 15 min and the ... Read More:

this game can get VERY annoying due to its stupid save system. you can wander around for ages looking for a save point, and just not find one. then you die.... otherwise, this game is awsome. i love hacking up the zombies in a sea of blood :) its just a shame that there is this one major flaw
