Indiana Jones: The Adventure Collection (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom & Last Crusade) [1981]

starring: Harrison Ford, Paul Freeman, Ronald Lacey, Alfred Molina, Anthony Higgins
directed by: Steven Spielberg

May 12, 2008
The reason that these movies are so popular is because there is a little bit of Indiana Jones in all of us. We enjoy the mystery of cloak and dagger, the excitement of exploring new places, the fun of discovery and the adventurous spirit that is deep rooted in all of us.

George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg were able to tap into their own psyche as boys and have done an exceptional job of bringing our dreams to life in the form of a character appropriately named...Indiana Jones!

Harrison Ford is an exceptional actor who brings to the screen exactly the right mix of excitement, entertainment, fun and spiced with a bit of tongue and cheek. The majority of the supporting actors in these series are no slouches either. ... Read More:

Ben 10 (PS2)

from: D3 Publisher

November 16, 2007
This isn't one of those huge sprawling games you will still be absorbed by one year from now. It lacks depth, complexity and game length. But it IS good solid fun and although short it feels polished and not rushed. It doesn't get ridiculously difficult towards the end (I'm looking at you scooby-doo!) and was at just the right level to keep my six year old going for a few weeks. There probably isn't a huge amount of replay value, you only get five of the Ben 10 aliens and essentially it's just a beat-em-up but it does have what a lot of games these days seem to think is beneath them - fun!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (PS2)

from: Lucas Arts

September 19, 2008
Having bought this game, I can say that I was very impressed overall, despite that gameplay can get repetitive. I initially wanted to get the PS3 version but yet again I was put off getting the PS3 console due to more horror stories about overheating etc.
But I was pleasantly surprised to see that the PS2 version is a great quality game (I feared that due to the fact that the PS2 is practically dead now, this was going to be half a game, so to speak).
The story itself was fantastic and really felt that I was part of a star wars movie. I was also happy to see some of my favourite star wars characters either in the main game or as unlockable characters later on, like Emperor Palpatine (who I think is MILES better than Darth Vader as a bad ...

This game is great fun. My favourite chapter is 5 where you get to kill Darth Vader in free play in Episode IV.

When me and my friend started chapter 5 in Episode VI we were really excited because you get to kill the Emperor.

There's not a lot in this for £9. Probably the most expensive plastic in the world.

... More fun than it should be or could ever be expected. Great humour and it doesn't tarnish the star wars name (unless your a super-star wars movie nerd) As a star wars fan i think i can say that. This is just a really enjoyable game especially if played with a friend.

Sony PlayStation 2 Console (Slimline)

from: Sony

October 29, 2004
I'm a true hardcore gamer, and this has a couple of great and unforgettable exclusive titles:
Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3
Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2
Spyro: A Hero's Tail

Try and grab that lot if you want this console. And at such as a cheap price, missing out is unforgivable.

LEGO Indiana Jones 7624: Jungle Duel

from: LEGO


I must admit when I first saw this range in the shop I thought 'another Lego franchise money spinner'. In recent years Lego has become more or less a movie franchise vehicle and it's not easy to find plain ordinary Lego these days. However, my son was really keen on it and was bought a larger kit for his birthday - which he played with so much I had no objections to him using his own money to buy this smaller kit too.

The 'Jungle Duel' kit is great value for money, it is one of the cheapest sets you can get but has 3 figures (Indy, Spalko and Mutt - complete with expressions), a tent, a table which splits during fights, a collection of swords, and lots of other tiny additions (including strangely, a banana). It's the quality you'd expect from Lego, ... Read More:
