Mass Effect (Xbox 360)

What a game. Graphicly brilliant, the story line is increadibe and the game play is great and has so much depth. The one criticism of the game would be that the action can be far inbetween sometimes, but for me this does not let the game down at all. Make a sequel, make a film, the whole lot.

Xbox 360 Wireless Gamepad (Black)

Great looks, great functionality and quite robust. As a controller thrower, this thing has been airborne many a time and the only damage is a slightly loose left stick which still works perfectly.
The only criticisms I have are a rubbish D-Pad and if you like to have a finger on all shoulder buttons you may find it difficult to hold.
The right stick position is also a little strange but it becomes second nature quickly.
A good size for small and big hands I think this is one of the best controllers made.
And everything looks better in black!

Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)

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

January 25, 2008
I was a huge fan of all of the burnouts since the very first one and 'revenge' is probably the best - i actually completed the single player with perfect in all events.

The new freeroaming burnout is a completely differnt game and i ahve to say i don't like it anywhere near a much. In the old games the 'wrong turns' were blocked off, but they're not in this one leading to some errors at 100mph and more than a little frustration. The level up seems similar to older versions but you seem to ride the same routes at each level just in faster cars and there doesn't seem to be as much variation as in burnout revenge.

Burnot has been great up until now - please bring the old version back Criterion

UPdate - i've just ... Read More:

Gears of War (Xbox 360)

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

November 16, 2006
Words really can't do this game justice. It's just so ridculously good, and in my opinion, only one major flaw.

This flaw is the A button; it does too much stuff. It sprints, rolls sideways, rolls forwards, presses you against a wall, etc., so you might be desperately trying to lure a Beserker outside and accidentally going against a wall and getting crushed into a million pieces. Luckily, this doesn't happen too often one you've grasped the controls.

Speaking of controls, the gameplay is fantastic. It's a nice change to running around, randomly throwing grenades and shooting wildly into the air. If you did that in this game, you'd die in a matter of seconds. There's a heavier emphasis on hiding, and taking advantage of the enemy when ... Read More:

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Xbox 360)

October 26, 2007
I've always been a fan of this franchise having played it through most of it's previous platforms and having bought an Xbox 360 couldn't wait to get my hands on it.
However Konami really need to "up" their game next time around as little tweaks here and there is not improvement enough and are letting FIFA back in with a shout for most realistic simulation.
Whilst tweaking the gameplay a little the game really dissapoints when played in one player mode against the computer where the computer seems to simply "cheat" if it wants to win - you can be 1-0 up with a minute to go and the opposition get on the ball and you just "know" they'll score.
The computer achieves this by taking away the power of running from your own players, or your normally sure ... Read More:

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Xbox 360)

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

November 09, 2007
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga is one of the best games ever made. There are three reasons for this, firstly it is very fun. The gameplay is perfectly designed so that the levels can be finished by a young child without too much frustration. However, they have also been designed to incorporate so much depth, so many opportunities to go back and find things you missed before, that the older gamer has plenty to see here too.
Secondly, Lego Star Wars looks wonderful through its simplicity. The game does not overreach itself and looks fantastic as a cute, cartoony game that still manages to be absorbing. Graphic power isn't important but presentation is, this game succeeds.
Thirdly, this is one of the most authentic, entertaining Star Wars games ever made. ... Read More:

Call of Duty 4 (Xbox 360)

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

November 09, 2007
This is my review on Call of Duty 4 - I'll keep it brief

To get the positives out the way:

First thing i would say is this game is really good looking. Not the best but it's really nice.

Second thing i like is the story, the characters were really enjoyable and fun.

Third thing is the sniper mission. It was totally awesome!!!!

Now onto the negatives:

The game play is sooo straight forward it's really quite dull. It's just a plain bog standard shooting game. You follow your teams mates, kill some guys, follow your team mates, kills some guys and repeat til you've completed the game. The only time it breaks out of this boring tradition is the sniper mission that i mentioned above because it was different. ... Read More:

I think that Gears of war has a very good online, multiplayer experience, btu it's very hard online and host advantage is very annoying. The single player campaign is good but also hard, it has been said that it's so hard that in GOW2 they're making an easier difficulty, but it's well worth witnessing the stunning surroundings and graphics.

Xbox Live 3-Month Gold Membership Card (Xbox 360)

I have tried to cancel my subscription three times; each time i am assured it has been processed and will not appear on my bill and each month £4.99 is deducted. On the second time of asking i was politely told 'we have deleted your credit card details from our system, it is impossible for you to be charged next month'. I was charged. Administrative incompetence on this scale amounts to theft. Do not join unless you never want to get out
