Sid Meier's Pirates!

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

November 09, 2006
So a little time has passed and now not only can you run the X-box version of this game on the 360, but you can download it from X-box Live! Is it still worth playing today? Oh yes! First of all, I like the console version better than the PC version. It just feels more pick-up-and-play on the Xbox, the controls work beautifully (I vastly prefer pressing buttons to hitting number keys on a keyboard), and with the high-resolution rendering on the 360 the game looks wonderful. In fact, I only have one complaint. You can't skip the intro movie on the 360 for some reason.

If you like the PC version you may want to change over to this version for sheer ease-of-use. If you've never played the game before you ought to give it a try just ... Read More:

Need for Speed Most Wanted

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

November 16, 2005
Wow, I can play this game for hours on end. It's just awesome. So many different things to do. The police chases keep you on the edge of your chair and the good ones can go on 30 minutes to an hour of adrenaline infused joy. Everyone I have ever let play this game has loved it. The only thing that I see getting better over time is the graphics which I think are fine on the original Xbox version but will be fun to see improve with technology. Hopefully they won't ruin the game in the process. When I think of how much incredible play time this game has given me and to think back to the days of pumping quarters into arcade games, the value of this game is truly amazing.

One tip, if you are in career mode and hate getting penalized ... Read More:

Intec Power Cable for Xbox

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Intec


My husband was fixing my sister's XBox, and I didn't know she had sent the power cable! It was faster and just as cheap to order one as to mail it separately, so I ordered this one. It does exactly what it's advertised to do: it powers an original XBox.

MX vs ATV Unleashed

from: THQ

After playing it a few days, I think the game is ok. I was expecting the game to be as good as ATV off road fury 2 but the game seems simplier and not as much fun. It's not bad, but its just not great....in my opinion.

Fatal Frame 2

from: Tecmo

My fiancee is playing this game right behind me and I can't stop jumping. Turn the surround sound up and hear the dead people whispering"I'm dead". You will almost pee your pants when these people jump out at you!! Heart racing game. This is the most eerie game I have ever played. It seems to be even scarier than most scary movies. The graphics are VERY good on this game too.

Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: UBI Soft

October 04, 2005
Earned in Blood, not Brothers in Arms 2, just Road to Hill 30 and beyond... as Sergeant/Corporal Joe 'Red' Hartsock.
Well, everything such as graphics, sound, and gameplay is pretty much the SAME. I didn't notice much difference in those fields. A few new weapons have been added, the M3 Grease gun, and the FG42, WOW BIG DEAL. The FG42 is fun to use, the M3 is boring, except you only use them in a few levels of the campaign. Some of the old characters come back, while your squad is a bunch of guys you didnt meet in RTH-30. New abilities like magically recieving ammo from your squad, and talking to them by pressing 'X' have been added. You guys act like the guys in Hill 30, swearing, arguing, and just talking. Instead of the 'briefing' of every level being ... Read More:

Enter the Matrix

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Atari Inc.

September 08, 2006
The Matrix changed the way we looked at movies and changed american cinema for good. One would think that the game based on such a culture changing movie would be just as good. Unfortunately, that's not the case here with Enter The Matrix.

Enter The Matrix follows the path of two of the lesser characters from the movies, Niobe and Ghost. They pilot a ship called The Logos which is the smallest and fastest in the fleet. Their story is interwoven with the story from The Matrix Reloaded and somewhat into The Matrix Revolutions. The story is shown through live action video with the actors from the movie. All of it is additional footage directed by the Wachowski brothers. It's a good way to flush out the Matrix story and get a different perspective on the ... Read More:

Just purchased an Xbox and purchased Spiderman for my 8 year old grandson and it has a great tutoral to help you navigate. It was fun to see his expression when he was able to play the game.

Mortal Kombat Deception

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Midway Entertainment

July 07, 2006
As I fight and claw my way through Mortal Kombat's Deception Konquest Mode, I keep one thing on my mind, to free my Queen Sindel. I admit that visiting Earthrealm, Netherrealm, Orderrealm, and my favorite Chaos Realm are interesting, but Mortal Kombat is all about kicking butt and looking at Sindel's perfect butt.

It is good that the old classic characters are still around. Who would want to pick up an MK game without Sub-Zero or Scorpion? And even though I never really liked Tanya, it's good to see her still kicking it, but I so much prefer the hotter and sexier Mileena, Kitana, Jade, and Liu Mae.

I don't spend too much time with the chess or tetris game. I like to beat the boss in arcade mode, and I'm still trying to get through Konquest.

Some ... Read More:
