Dancing Stage Universe with Dancemat (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Konami

December 07, 2007
I've dabbled with Dancing Stage games in the past, but I'm by no means an expert. I was pleased to see they have different difficulty levels, even for us humble beginners. The music is quite good - although like many things it's down for your personal taste - and there's a variety of modes (including the wonderful calorie burning feature!)

One criticism is the instructional manual is rather vague, leaving me scratching my head in Quest mode.

The dancemat supplied also has a habit of sliding its way across the (carpeted) floor whenever you're using it.

Still, if you're a fan of dancing, or just someone wanting to get fit to a bit of music, this is fun way to pass the time.

FIFA 07 (Xbox 360)

When your good at this game after practice you can put the difficulty all the way up and outplay the best teams in the world with incredibly fast paced football, although not like real football this is still incredibly fun in my opinion better than fifa 08 which is just like the premier league football we see on TV. The reason i prefer 07 is because i don't necesarily always want to play build up football i may be angry with a team and just want to tear them apart and score great goals past them, which is why i like this game. When i want realism then nothing can beat fifa 08 unless your a Pro evo fan because you will probably already have unjustified bad opinions of fifa.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (Xbox 360)

I have played both xbox and xbox 360 versions, the xbox version is a lot more fun. The xbox 360 version i died a lot, and if i wasnt dying i was wondering why my team mates weren't doing what i wanted them to do. The missions are a lot more fun on the original xbox, team mates are easier to control, weapon selection is wider. Basically, the original xbox version kicks the xbox 360 versions ass!!!

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Capcom

I ordered this game expecting something epic. What I got was something ... not. Don't get me wrong, it looks (as countless others have stated) quite simply breathtaking, but I'm afraid in this case it's just mutton dressed as lamb.

So what's wrong with it? Well, for one thing there's no save option, and the game only auto-saves at the end of each mission. I read a review where someone said that it could take up to 2 hours to complete missions, and at the time thought it couldn't POSSIBLY take that long. How wrong I was. Some even took longer. That's all right if you're a hard-core gamer, but for the short-session gamer its a bit too much to suffer.

The other major let-down was the scripting for the cutscenes. Although the plot itself ... Read More:

Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360
from: Ubisoft

December 02, 2005
I had a bit of a interest in this game because of it's looks and the achievements, and then my brother found the game for just a juicy £5 online at Amazon, so I asked him to buy it and I'd paid the money. It's just recently I managed to play it and get it done with and to be honest, it is fairly good.

The King Kong game is based on Peter Jackson's King Kong Movie. The King Kong Game was released on the launch day when the XBox 360 came out back in late 2005 and I have seen quite a few people on my friend's list, which actually own this game.

The story of King Kong is when Carl looses business in his filming career and decided to think of a final solution. The solution was to get his filming crew arranged, plan and arrange a local Ship Crew to take ... Read More:

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (Xbox 360)

The TH series is in its tenth year now, and this si the ninth installment. American Wasteland, brought in the revoluntionary "no loading" of an open ended world to skat in. In P8 Activision and NS re-built the game from the ground up, and it was a slight dissapointment. Then skate. arrived on the scene withs its flick-it controls, and became top dog. Although many people say skate is better, there realy isnt that much difference between these two games. PG has most of the features skate does, if not more. Skate and PG, both, beleive it or not, share the paralell goal challenges, and what i mean by that is, in PG u can be a career skater, hardcore, or riger, and in skate. u can get coverage from thrasher (hardcore) and the skateboard mag (career). PG's nail the trick is pretty mcuh ... Read More:

F.E.A.R (Xbox 360)

I don't normally write 'gush' reviews, but having only recently gotten to play this incredible game that's been around for some time already, I'm going to do just that. FEAR is very probably the best FPS on 360(Alongside Bioshock of course).

Playing as an FEAR agent, you're tasked with hunting down a rogue nutter unleashing his army of soldiers against your organisation while simultaneously dealing with various ghost encounters which seem to have some bearing on your mission. It's hard to get too far into the excellent plot without spoiling things, so I won't, but be assured, it is a fine journey filled with suspense, horror and sci fi overtures.

The gameplay is very well put together, with a well rounded control system incorporating some tried and trusted ideas(Slowing ... Read More:
