Review for House of the Dead (Wii):
old school fun!
i was very happy to see house of dead on wii, and was quick to make it one of my first purchases. ive spent hours, in the days, at arcades blasting zombies. i got the venom gun with this and once you calibrate the gun with your tv its simple. just point and shoot and kill. Brilliant!!!103
Review for EA Playground (Wii):
Don't expect anything amazing, but with around 7 games for £30 ish, it's not bad value and is all pretty nice....with a sporty theme.
For young kids, it's worth it...similar in a way to Wii Sports....

Review for Wii Rock Band Band In The Box (Wii):
Rock band rocks
If you have ever tapped your fingers to a song you have to try rock band drums. They are as close to a real drum kit you can get without buying a real one. The songs at the beginning are easy enough for most people then gradually get harder and harder to challenge everyone.If you have a full band of four people you need quite a big tv to see your part clearly. I bought the Wii rock band but used to play guitar hero on play station 2. They are both well made but I like the graphics of the play station more. I would recommend rock band.105
Review for Nintendogs Dalmatian & Friends (Nintendo DS):
The graphics are nice (especially on the puppies themselves!) and looking after them is pretty straight forward. The commands are also easy to do and it's great to see your puppy run at you after calling its name.
The only downside is that you can only enter a certain tournament 3 times a day. Same goes for teaching commands to your dog. Because once you've done the tournaments and such, there's not really much left to do except still look after your pups and watch them.
In short this game is really fun and REALLY cute! I definitely recommend this to dog lovers and people that enjoy virtual pet games.

Review for Nintendogs Dalmatian & Friends (Nintendo DS):
Cute and fun virtual pet game!
When I first got this game for Christmas almost 2 years back I never got the hang of it because my dog (a Beagle) never listened when I called its name, so I left the game collecting dust amongst my other DS games. However I started playing it again quite recently thanks to my younger brother who kept the game going, and it's really adorable!The graphics are nice (especially on the puppies themselves!) and looking after them is pretty straight forward. The commands are also easy to do and it's great to see your puppy run at you after calling its name.

Review for Pokemon Battle Revolution (Wii):
I had both the diamond and pearl and played them often on DS so I was very familiar with the game. I thought it was great to be able to download all my pokemon onto the Wii game.
If you don't have a DS with diamond or pearl it would not be fun!

I think this is a really good game because you get to play wi fi & battle with others all over the world. After you have battled them you get to collect thier passes and then you can play with thier pokemon in free battle.I had both the diamond and pearl and played them often on DS so I was very familiar with the game.

Review for Dancing Stage Hottest Party (inc. mat) (Wii):
At first seemed so, so, but stick at it. Once you reach the higher levels, it becomes fun and intense. Amazing way to loose weight also, far more than wii fit or any other game I have played.

Review for Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour (Wii):
All of the songs sound like genuine recordings and the dance moves are not too difficult to learn or perform, though the"Diva" difficulty level will put your coordination to the test. The two-player element of this game is its strength; a good old fashioned dance-off to decide which of you is the"real" Hannah Montana.
Not my kind of game at all, but my girlfriend (25) and son (6) both enjoy playing it and I do get challenged to the occasional dance-off with them (and am quickly humbled)!

Review for Golden Compass (PS2):
Buy this game if you spend all your time playing games , otherwise, don't bother. (Adults, don't try and play this with the kids about, they WILL be better than you!!)
Good, but like the film, not that good. (The book is still brilliant though).

Review for Golden Compass (PS2):
A disapointment unless.....
I was really looking forward to playing this game. The first section is OK, fun and fairly easy. But once you get into the game, it would help if you spend a lot of time on thses sort of games. Trying to control Lyra, is a bit hit and miss. Instead of being behind all the time, you get side shots or even worse, she is completely out of view!!!Buy this game if you spend all your time playing games , otherwise, don't bother. (Adults, don't try and play this with the kids about, they WILL be better than you!!)

USELESS THING!!!
This memory card is not as good as Ps2's memory card. The PsOne Memory Card Has To Ruin It With Ps2 games. but it is one of the best accessories for old racing games such as Formula 1. but it seems to work useless with other games. DO NOT BUY THIS MEMORY CARD INCASE YOU HAVE FORMULA 1112

Review for TNA Impact (PS2):
Since I was playing the PS2 version (not enough pennies to get a newer console yet) I was expecting something like the early Smackdown games Like Know Your Role, and that's pretty much what I got.
I agree with the guy you had a quick dig at the unlockable characters being the small jobbers that you do up against early on, felt like they could have been wrester versions of other Midway Characters.
Did feel a little let down by the fact you couldn't create your own wrestler, would've been fun to have WWE wrestlers in the TNA ring. Also, misses not beaing able to have title defences in the ehibition games. But then again, TNA are just finding their feet when it comes to gaming and I'm glad it's not a Smackdown clone.
If you want TNA wrestlers to have title defences best make them up on Smackdown, untill TNA2 comes out.
A good game is you forget about Smackdown vrs Raw

Review for Wii Perfect Shot Gun(Wii):
It's good!
I had a good look around the forums to decide which was the best gun for the Wii. I was looking for a sub machine gun type gun. Really, I was looking for a"sub machine gun" type. All of the ones I looked at seemed to force you to hold them in a weird way. If you want to pull the trigger with your right hand - then they make you hold the back of the gun in your left hand. As a right handed person - this isn't intuitive. I want to hold the back in my right hand and the barrell in my left. So, in the end I went for the Pefect Shot pistol. It's actually pretty big - and though I don't have particularly small hands - the grip is slightly too large. However, this means that you can pull the trigger with your right hand and stabilise it with your left. I've been playing House of the Dead 1 & 2 which doesn't require nunchuck. There does not apear to be a time lag as the pistol pushes the B button. I would say it's a good gun overall115

Review for Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey (Wii):
Good Girly Fun
We bought this for our daughter aged 4, but as it needs both nunchuck and controller to be used at the same time, she was unable to play on her own. She does enjoy using the controller (which acts as the magic wand) but someone else has to use the nunchuck to control the princesses direction. Her favourite aspect is the dressing of the characters.I am sure she will get used to using both controls at some point. This was her first game so she had no previous wii experience. We still recommend it for little girls.

SKINS
I actually bought this product so that me and my fiancee could have our own blue and pink controllers (I get very possesive over which controler is mine!!) My skins arrived and i was very impressed as they created a perfect fit round the controler, looked cool, and gave you extra grip to the wiimote, which is very handy when you look at some of the wii games.The only downside is to change batteries you have to remove product which can be a bit tricky. but well worth buying.

Bag is small
nothing wrong with this product at all except that it is not very big (approx 18cm x 12cm x 6cm [LxWxD])I thought it was a bag that would hold chargers etc but will not take much more than the DS lite itself and few games.
Ideal if that is what you are looking for? I already have a carry purse for the DS so not what I need.
