Soul Calibur IV (Xbox 360)

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

August 01, 2008
Having enjoyed past SC games I was looking forward to playing this. And it is a lot of fun to play. It's good for some mindless video game violence but does become fairly repetitive.

The single player modes lack something. Story mode is a bit of a joke really, and there's not much sense of achievement in arcade mode. OK, Tower of lost souls does provide something else but there's little variety really. Online play lags a lot at times but can be entertaining. It is a problem that if you get downed once, your opponent can pretty easily hit you with several attacks and you've lost. As usual with xbox live, the majority of players are only concerned with stats and levelling up, so you're unlikely to find many matches where they are ... Read More:

Rock Band: Solus (Xbox 360)

Dont be lame, People moaning about how much this 'game' costs. Nobody made you pay that much.

Seriously tho, i forked out £160 for the bundle, and within a day i'd got my money's worth...

3 months later and i still think Rock Band is the best thing ever, from the drums to the guitar, to vocals it's Straight Up THEE best thing to hit the consoles since the day consoles began!

If you like Rock Music, thats an added bonus, if you dont and your just looking for something to party with friends, that doesnt involve the Wii ...then this is for you!

Forget the Price, you wont be sorry!

Rock on ....

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (Xbox 360)

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

November 14, 2008
For all you fans of the bear hero Banjo, you will certainly remember the Microsoft buy-out of developer Rareware in 2002. This means that Rareware (now Rare) wont be making any games for Nintendos main consoles and have taken licenses such as Banjo and Perfect Dark along with them.

After several Banjo releases for Nintendo's GBA under Microsoft, Banjo Kazooie 3 (or Banjo Threeie) for XBOX 360 is the biggy. To be released sometime 2008, the game will sure be using the features of the XBOX 360 to its limit along with fine detailed graphics, so fine it takes time to get used to it after the Nintendo 64 days. Seems like the game will be based around the same location(s), characters and keep the non-vocal sounds.

Race Driver: GRID (Xbox 360)

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

May 30, 2008
Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! A must buy... for the serious gamer to the "just play a quick race game" player. It is stunning... the graphics are breathtaking, you could actually be driving. The damage is so real that you just want more. I just could not stop playing the game. As for the demolition derby, well I almost passed out from laughter it generated... I must be the only demolition derby driver that destroyed his own car without hitting anyone else, useless or what. This is truly a fun game and extremely addictive. This is definitely a game to buy; have fun!!!!

Viva Pinata (Xbox 360)

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

November 30, 2006
This game is VERY funny! all the little cute Pinatas! sadly once the novely has worn off and you have seen all the different types of critter -i found it just became a bit repetative. But hey it is aimed at kids!. I just got bored of doing my 'gardening' and found it a bit slow going. Visually its great! its the brightest game you will ever play! and theres no doubt that you WILL want a Pinata as a pet!. So its the sort of game you might want to borrow or rent to have a play and a laugh but perhaps not one that you want to own. Its worth just having a go - its very bizarre!.

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360 Games

June 27, 2008
What a disappointment.

The fighting parts are repetative button tapping. 'Special action' is just reflexively getting the highlighted button with no skill or judgement.

The shooting uses a hopelessly unergonomic button layout and has been done so much better in Gears of War, GRAW 2 and R6 Las Vegas.

Driving is merely adequate. Plot is linear and uninspired.

Punish the developers by not buying it.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Xbox 360)

I don't very often laugh out loud at games but it was hard not to with this one! i'm not a huge Star Wars fan to be honest but was lent this game to try. It's very very clever! the characters are so funny! i don't know what it is about Lego people but they make me laugh. I felt i played it more just to see what certain characters would look like!. To be honest i personally didn't think the game play was that great, its pretty standard running around, whacking things with your light saber but it has playability based on the concept alone!.

NBA 2K9 (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox 360 Games
from: 2K Sports

October 10, 2008
I played NBA 2k9 demo on Xbox 360 and lets say it was fantastic. Even though you dont get to play a whole game it still leaves you wanting to play more. The graphics and physics are so realistic, at times you think your watching real life people. The soundtrack is cool, although I put my ipod on and played it instead. This is the first time I've ever played a basketball sim and I'm really looking forward to buying it. Can't wait to get my own player on the court doing some slam dunks! So yeah download the demo, its worth it.
