Plantronics GAMECOM 1 PC HEADSET ( 67003-01 )

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Plantronics


This headset is excellent quality, especially if you aren't willing to sink $100 on a gameing headset. I bought two, which was convient since my dog ate through the cord on the first pair. My husband has had a pair of these same headsets for atleast 3 years, and he had the same brand before that. The first pair he had did just stop working out of the blue one day, but he had them for 3 or 4 years. It's still better to buy a new pair of $20 ones every 3 years instead of purchasing the $100 version.

Star Wars Battlefront II

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Lucas Arts Entertainment

November 01, 2005
I was really hesitant to get this game after playing "Battlefront I". However, I got a good recommendation for it and praise that it was far superior to the first. That's pretty much exactly what I wanted to hear. "Battlefront I" is really cool in concept, but it was lacking a ton. Co-op was practically useless, too fast, and virtually no story. It was just boring! Luckily just about all these misgivings I had for "Battlefront I" were fixed in "Battlefront II".

I'm personally more into co-op based games than the online multiplayer scenarios and when it came to purchasing "Battlefront I" I felt like they forgot about the fans that play co-op. Not so with "Battlefront II". My friend and I spent quite a long time playing through ... Read More:

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Rockstar Games

I didn't even start playing this game until after I beat GTA IV when a friend recommended I check out some of the earlier games in the series. It's absolutely phenomenal! If you can deal with the certainly less-than-spectacular graphics when compared to current popular games (especially GTA IV), I promise you'll have a blast! There are actually many more side missions and fun things to do in this game than GTA IV. Even after beating the main storyline, you'll still have hours upon hours of extra tasks that you can complete. Rockstar should have remade this game for GTA IV. A must buy!!

Xbox AV HDTV Component Cable

from: Vista Gaming Products, Inc.


Component cables for the orig Xbox system. Its not much u can say in a review about this. It helps connect the older system to newer TV's and receivers. If u got a TV that can do different picture n sound configurations for the different connections, this will be fine.

Xbox Cordless Precision Controller

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Logitech

November 22, 2004
This is by far the best XBox controller I have ever used. If you notice, the 360 uses almost the exact design as this controller (Note that Logitech designed the controller for the 360). That shows that even Microsoft recognized the excellent design here.

I noticed that some people said they had problems with button response. I wouldn't know about this. I have four of these controllers and I've never had this issue. I would just tell them to return those controllers and get different ones.

Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit

from: Microsoft Software

August 01, 2005
This remote really works! I plugged in the adapter into the 4th hole and put a DVD disc into it and it works. Just make sure that the adapter is pushed in all the way, because I didn't at first and the Xbox would not play a DVD movie disc. This kit must be another way for Micorsoft to make more money, forcing people to buy this to watch standard DVD movie discs.
This is a must for Xbox owners.

Max Payne

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Rockstar Games


Max Payne dishes out thrills like there's no tomorrow, and is definitely one of the original Xbox's finest action titles. It may be a third-person shooter, but that doesn't mean it isn't as cool as any other shooter.
WHAT THE GAME IS: You are Max Payne; a cop whose life has gone down the crapper because of the murders of his wife and baby, and now he's being accused of murder of a cop. So you must take out mafia and gang groups with a large arsenal weapons and descend into the New York underworld of crime, while solving clues and avoiding capture.
GRAPHICS: Time has not been kind to this game, it was released 6-7 years ago and the graphics don't look good, but rather blocky.
SOUND: Shooting, explosions, dying screams of enemies, and ... Read More:

Max Payne 2 The Fall of Max Payne

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Rockstar Games

December 01, 2003
...by producing dull paint-by-numbers sequels. The original Max Payne was inventive (with its bullet-time interludes and playable nightmare sequences) and moody (pulp comic storytelling and Noir York backdrops), and held my attention despite some pretty serious gameplay and difficulty balance flaws. Unfortunately Max Payne 2 has retained the flaws and added nothing new to the experience.

MP2 is still too easy with Bullet Time assistance, far too many health and ammo powerups, and an overall simple level of play. I'm just an average shooter player, but I breezed through it in a few hours. And maybe due to less inspired level structure than the first (warehouses...ughh), it felt shorter. The complex time-warped romance of MP2 is disorienting and silly, ... Read More:

Xbox Controller S-Black

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

November 15, 2003
I used this for all my PC gaming needs due to the fact that it has two extra buttons at the bottom and I find it unfitting to use a 360 controller and I don't have the console for it which I will not be getting for a some years now. All I did was get a generic Xbox to PC usb adaper, installed the XBCD drivers, and it works on all games that support it. For 100% compatibility, I use Xpadder for games that have poor or no support for controllers. Good example is Half-Life 2. I personally just can't stand the keyboard and mouse, and I can never get used to it, and its not easy for me to remember what key is assign to what command and such. Anyway I just can't live without this.

Madden NFL 08

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

August 14, 2007
First of all, I own both an Xbox and the newer 360. I bought Madden 08 initially for the 360 and absolutely hated it. My son likes it though, but then again he always preferred Blitz and other arcade-style football titles over the more realistic ones like Madden or Sega's series. That, by the way, perfectly describes Madden 08 on the PS3 and 360---too much like an arcade game.

Since last year's game, there are only minor improvements in Madden 08 for the Xbox and PS2. Obviously, there are some roster updates and purists will find that reason enough in itself to spend for 08.

The new "weapons" icon found on the 360 and PS3 versions is found here as well. This is indeed one of the few improvements featured on 08 sorely missing on its predecessor. ... Read More:
