Customer Review: Pre-Order
I have the PS3, and its a great console, blu-ray is just a added bonus over other consoles. However, i was thinking of ordering this bundle as a present for a friend. My question is: If i Pre-Order this, will i get it the same day as release (28.03.08. Or will it be shipped on that day. Becauses im sure i’ve pre-orered other stuff from amazon and its been delevierd for the day of release. Great console BTW.

Customer Review: I just love it quick to pick up impossible to put down
Well I spend my life now in limbo between this gorgeoulsy looking football game with nice basic controls and just a good old kick around and Mass Effect. Granted there is room for improvement in the game but its a bit like a movie that you love because it is so easy to watch and does not ask too much of you. This is great!
Customer Review: Addictive, but bad for you
OK the first thing is, as a lot of people have already pointed out, that there’s is loads missing from other versions of this game, if you’ve got a PS2, buy that version and add another star. Second thing, as each passing year the difference between the outgoing pro and new one becomes more difficult to spot. Pro 6’s graphics are slightly sharper, but the game seems to run at a slower pace. Third thing, the game AI. Pro ecourages you as a player to keep it a short passing game as much as possible, I’m sure this is the reason it is so difficult to make long passes and overhead through balls, so you adjust your tactics accordingly. But occasionally a dog kickingly frustrating bit of rubbish AI pop up out of nowhere. Defenders run away from attackers when you take control of them. The game constantly switches team members when you’re trying to defend. Attackers inexpicaply slow down when trying to get to long balls. These don’t happen too often, but when they do … Finally online, it’s not bad, creating a custom match can take forever when trying to find someone to play, but the patches that have been release over the last year seem to have sorted that one out. Should you buy it ? If you’ve got pro 5 on ps2, no keep your money. If you’ve got a 360, it’s better than FIFA (If I want proper names and kits I’ll buy a sticker album), so I’d say possibly, wait and see what the reviews on pro 2008 are like.

Ciscotech Xbox 360 Live Headset Headphone Microphone & 2 year “replace for new” warranty!!
This product really is fantastic and highly recommended. And the amzing thing about buying from Media Accessories is that not only do they offer a complete money back guarantee inc. postage if you are not happy with the product, but also a free extended 2 year warranty!! And all at such a great price! You just can’t lose.
Customer Review: Waste of Money
I wanted a cheap replacement for my broken xbox 360 headset. This headset is really uncomfatable to wear and the volume control on the bottom is stiff and takes a lot of effort just to turn it. My advice stick to the offical one.

Customer Review: Not bad
Overall, our family enjoys this game. I bought it for my 5 year old as a fun finish to our homeschool days. It definitely teaches sequence of events, but I think the age definition (3-8 years) is a stretch. My 5 year old can’t play this without help, nevermind my 3 year old. It’s not the nutritional teacher that I had hoped from the title (for example Sam eats several boxes of cookies, which upsets his stomach, but just a few minutes later he eats an entire layer cake, and then a candy cane, all without complaint. He never once in the entire game or any variations, eats a nutritious food.) It is entertaining, and they do enjoy playing, but just cannot do so alone.
Customer Review: Really fun
My 4-year old son really likes this game. It’s exciting for him to see the changes each time he plays. Pajama Sam games are a little more challenging than Putt Putt and Freddie Fish. In this particular game, there is a part that requires reading, and an advanced understanding of riddles. I suppose he could click and click until he gets it right but that would take a long time and he would get frustrated. (You have to match riddles with the correct answers.) Because of this I wouldn’t recommend it for a younger child who wouldn’t have the assistance of an adult, but otherwise, it’s very entertaining.


Playstation 2 Driving Force Wheel
Driving Force Pro is a racing wheel that offers the very best in on-screen control. Enjoy more realism, more racing intensity and more fun than ever, with your favorite PS2 racing games!

Customer Review: Works on PC very well!!
This is indeed the DFP, even though amazon’s title says just DF. I used the G25 drivers on the logitech website for my PC. Works beautifully!! I don’t know why logitech doesn’t advertise this as a PC wheel. 900 degrees of rotation takes a bit getting used to. You can set it anywhere between 40-900 degrees under game controller setup in windows. Lots of buttons on the wheels, but not paddle shifters. Its more like paddle buttons, but I like to use the stick shifter instead. I had a Nascar Thrustmaster Force previously, and the DFP is much better at producing FFB effects. In fact, I had to tone it down because it was strong at default settings. Its also a tad smaller than my previous wheel so I have more space on my desk to mount it. The brake and gas pedals also have different spring tensions which makes it a little more realistic. The gears still make a lot of noise as with the Thrustmaster when turning, but its definitely smoother. I don’t feel the ‘notchiness’ of the gears. Playing GT2, GTL, LFS, and Richard Burns Rally with it.

I don’t have a PS2, but from the reviews it should work great also.

Cooking Mama challenges players to use the stylus as a master kitchen tool to cook 76 real world dishes ranging from pepperoni pizza to cabbage meat rolls. Players use the stylus to chop, slice, pan fry, knead, grate, mash, peel and more. Under Mama’s watchful eye, players must first prepare ingredients, then combine, cook and present the final meal all via the touch screen. Players can even cool down dishes by blowing into the DS microphone.

Customer Review: Fun… while it lasts…
Yeah, Cooking Mama is a great game. When you start the game you get a menu: you can practice certain methods of preparing food (like slicing, cutting, saute, frying, folding dumplings…), combine two dishes from your menu to make it a bit more ‘fun’ if you are slightly bored, or you can play the normal game. I’d have to say, the best part of the game is practicing methods of cooking, as each is it’s own little minigame, some with different levels too. Think WarioWare Touched, but substitute random madness for cracking eggs, cutting meat, folding dumplings, coating meat and fish in flour, even guessing games (you have to guess what is shown in the top screen, and pick from a range of ingredients shown in the bottom screen). The ordinary game is where you can pick a dish (certain dishes unlock new ones, so you have to try them all!) and go through a variety of minigames in order to get a bronze, silver or gold medal (depending on the score you got) for that dish. In Combine Mode, you basically do the same, but combining the two dishes with a lot of your favourite minigames in each makes it enjoyable, and you can always combine two more different dishes if your bored. Cooking Mama is good, but eventually you get a little tired of doing the same thing over and over again. Although when I’m bored, I find it fun to pick up and attempt to beat your high scores. I’m currently aiming to get a Gold Medal in every dish on my Cook! Menu, which I’m halfway through. To sum this game up, I’d say: “Fun, but only while the excitement of preparing food on your DS lasts, which isn’t very long. If you can get this for less than ?20, then I’d say buy it, but it’s not worth paying more for it.”
Customer Review: Cooking? fun? why yes!
Who could have thought there would be a game based on cooking, but here it is , Cooking Mama. Cooking Mama is well, a cooking game, your job is to follow mama’s instructions and make various dishes of food to varying degrees of fail in my case and varying degrees of success for most people, but I still love this game for one simple thing, its different, yes you heard me correctly, different, there is nothing like it, except Cooking Mama on the Wii. This is a game that I will defend to the hills and I did buy it with my own money, ?20 brand new from my local Gamestation, and I can say it was worth every penny. You will get a sense of higher self when you can make a sandwich and get 100 points :).

Customer Review: Impressive Most Impressive
A very fun, light run and gun-a-thon with the added bonus of using a lightsaber. The space ships levels are easy and enjoyable to play and can be revisited once they have been completed. If you like Star Wars and want something to play on you Game Boy after completting all your new games that you got for Christmas this is definatly worth a look……recommended.
Customer Review: One for the fans, not gamers
Not a bad game, not a great game. Formulaic platform stuff you've all seen hundreds of times before, with a couple of slightly different shoot-em-up levels appearing on rare occasions. Graphics are put to shame by something like the Metroid GBA games, and sound leaves something to be desired. Still, fans of the movies (like me) will get a kick out of running through the familiar bad guys and backgrounds, and the increasing abilities to use the Force are quite cool, if completely underused. For each 'movie' you complete, you get rewarded with behind-the-scenes shots from the movies. Again, if you're a SW geek, this is pretty cool. With hindsight (having finished it) I would buy it again, particularly at the knock-down price.

i risked buying this game after some of the negative feedback posted and am glad i did. i didnt have high hopes but i can tell you now, wow this game just totaly blew me away the cars are good the graphics are amazing and the cars handle like the real thing,(not some arcade piece of junk). And if you have any nous about you the controls are easily mastered and in my oppinion give the game a whole new demention. if you are a kid who is full of hormones and has nothing to do with them and you still belive you can travel at 100milles an hour into a hairpin and stay on the road you will most probally hate this game. if you are some one who genuinly enjoys driving and like fast cars (note not the magazine) then get this game it will blow your mind, i promise

Black UMD and Memory Stick Ms Duo Airform Pouch Case for Sony PSP
Customer Review: Great case for your collection but a bit fat
This case offers great protection, but it’s pretty fat, stout and round. The shell’s a bit forgiving, but don’t plan on smooshing the thing to fit it into an already over-stuffed carry bag. After all, it’s a formed case.

Worth the buy if you have extra room in your carry bag, or if you plan on leaving it out in the open, like on a desk, or shelf.

The Sims 2: Pets has already appeared on the Wii, but it was just a simple port of the PlayStation 2 version with little real use made of the Wii remote. This though is a complete reimagining of the whole The Sims concept made exclusively for Nintendo’s consoles. The concept is largely the same as always as you take control of the lives of your own fictional family in what’s a cross between a video game and an interactive version of Big Brother. The graphics have been completely revamped, moving away from the pseudo realism of the older games and using a much cuter, cartoon style that’s somewhere between Playmobil and Animal Crossing (they’re actually modelled after a Japanese toy line called Pinky Street).

Naturally the game makes full use of the Wii’s controls with the remote used to pick up, rotate and drop objects and buildings with refreshing ease, while the nunchuck is used simply to move around. This is all in the aid of making the game as customisable as possible, from the characters themselves to their homes and furniture. Previously The Sims games let you build your own house or swimming pool but here you can design your own fridge if you want or bed, sofa or any other item of furniture. This feeds into the concept of having to do up your house and turn your virtual ghost town into a thriving village full of oddball characters. With Animal Crossing still some way off this could be the next big casual game on the Wii.

Customer Review: Not bad at all LOL
This game is very similar to animal crossing, however i sold animal crossing as i didnt like it but this is a keeper. it may be similar but its alot more interesting !!! Unlike other sims games you dont have to keep motives up, the only downside is its easy to complete (got to 5 stars in 3days) but we cant have it all now can we LOL Sims Urbz is still my overall FAV !! 5 outta 5 though so def a great buy, happy gaming to all xxxxx
Customer Review: Bit disappointing…
MySims seems to address some of the problems that cropped up in Sims2 for the DS… but not very successfully. One of the main problems with Sims2 was the lack of mini-games (almost nothing to do), while another was the lack of locations in the game (aside from the town or the desert, there was nowhere to go). The overly-basic method of communicating with other Sims was also an issue (very repetitive). MySims, on the other hand, has lots of minigames. In fact, In MySims, the majority of action and excitement in the game is down to minigames (paragliding, making lei, casino games), rather than events. In fact, the minigames become separated from the events/story of the game… making them seem quite pointless after a while. Maybe the main problem is that the biggest incentive for playing a minigame is to earn some Simoleans. And the only thing you can do with Simoleans is buy some flowers or furniture for your house(s). That starts to feel pointless too (especially when the furniture is largely non-interactive, and can only be looked at). The key would be to relate the minigames to your actual progress in the game’s story. Maybe instead of just paragliding to gain money, you could paraglide against another character who is trying to buy the town’s Mountain for himself, etc. Connecting the minigame more closely to the story-line is important. In terms of locations, there are quite a few in MySims (forest, port, mountain, etc). It takes too long to travel from one to another, even when using the bus, making it a bit off-putting to travel around from location to location. Maybe some earnable method for quick movement around the town would have been a good idea. As for communication, it’s pretty tedious. Walking around comforting angry tourists all day gets quite boring. I started avoiding it after a while, but still managed to do well in the game. Unfortunately, another major problem with Sims2 occurs again in MySims - i.e. the shortness of the game. I’m not generally a fast gamer… but I finished the main goal of this game (reaching 5 stars) within 4 days. Overall, a bit disappointing. I still believe that the Urbz is the best Sims game for the Nintendo DS. Great story-line, good mini-games, plenty of locations, plenty of stuff to do, and motivation to do it.

when i first got it was ok then u had to do the same chores everyday and i got a bit bored.but when you need a brake from your other games its quite a good game to play.
Customer Review: Good.
You can have 3 horses the graphics are really good the riding is quite good the care is good. Why does the pony have the saddle on in the field?? I was a bit dissapionted at first because the video looked really good, but its not attually as good as the video so dont go by that. This game is for younger people i think they might find it annoying that you have to brush and wash your horse so slowly.

Ignition 2.0 Dance Pad for PlayStation2 and Xbox Game Systems Customer Review: Ignition 2.0 is simply the best you can get.
Hi, I have been playing DDR for over 6 years now. The RedOctane Ignition 2.0 Pad is, by far, the best foam pad you can get. The 3.0 and 1.0 pads are nowhere near as durable. The 2.0 pad is no longer made but I am selling one of mine here for less than retail, and its in perfect working condition! I’ve searched all over eBay and retail markets and no one is selling these anymore. They are nearly impossible to find, which is sad because they are simply THE best pads. 5 stars, hands down. I own two of them and I’ve never had a problem, on PS1, PS2, or XBOX. The pad is responsive, durable, and professional (feels like the arcade!). I love the RedOctane Ignition 2.0!

I didn’t expect too much from this game, as I thought it would be aimed more at the Wii. However, I expected the game play and graphics to be good. The graphics are very good, and at times you actually feel that you are watching the film. However, the game play was fairly disappointing - you can battle a foe far to easily. Once you have hit them twice, they just stand there and allow you to finish them off. However, I will say the when you battle a leader of a group (for instance Davey Jones’ first mate) the finishing moves are very satisfying. I don’t understand how this game can be rated a 16+. There is now blood or swearing, just fighting. Also, this game is not as addictive as I thought it would be. This game is not one that I would buy, but it is not a bad game on the PS3. I imagine that it would be good on the Wii.

Oh no! It looks like your grandad was right–things really were better in the old days. Well, they were if you liked 2-D platform games, anyway, and Yoshi’s Island is indisputably one of the best ever made.

In a laudable attempt not to rehash its immediate forebear Yoshi’s Island goes back in time to recount the touching story of the various yoshis’ attempts to unite Baby Mario with his parents. For the first time ever in a Mario game you don’t actually control the Italian plumber-to-be but instead his dinosaur pal, who has the curious ability to eat his enemies and then immediately turn them into eggs which he can then fling at more enemies and/or politicians.

Since Yoshi isn’t particularly fast and can float in mid-air for a few seconds after making a jump, the whole dynamics of the normal Mario gameplay have changed, but the same incredible attention to detail and endless imagination that mark all of Nintendo’s best efforts are still here in full effect. In fact they’re joined this time, after the rather plain looking prequel, by some wonderful pastel-shaded graphics that were jaw-dropping when the game was originally released in 1995 and still manage to impress now.

As with the other Super Mario Advance titles this game also contains a four-player version of the original Mario Bros. arcade game, making it even more of a bargain than it already was. –David Jenkins

Customer Review: The Mario-Platforming formula got a whole lot better!
By now the name ‘Mario can only echo to the world mushrooms, evil turtles and ‘flower power’. Oh yeah and of course, the greatest video game character of all time. Yoshi’s Island is an excellent game, and the spirit of challenge and fun runs throughout from the start to the all-mighty finish! Oh, and considering the main character IS NOT MARIO but his trustworthy friend and pseudo-babysitter Yoshi; gamers can expect an experience that’s just a little bit different. The story has been given a little bit more thought than the previous Mario games: that is the ‘rescue the princess/ defeat King Koopa’ template. With Yoshi’s Island we are introduced to a delightful fable - the evil Koopa wizard Kamek kidnaps one of two babies carried by a stork on a long-haul delivery, Luigi is the baby who is kidnapped while baby Mario plummets down to Yoshi’s island. The Yoshis decide to work together and follow baby Mario’s instincts to baby Luigi. In the process Kamek and his minions have to be defeated who are searching the Island for baby Mario. Now, its Yoshi’s turn to dance in the spotlight, the game does take many daring turns away from other Mario games as a result. Yoshi’s Island seems a tongue-in-cheek approach in comparison to other Mario games. The enemies seem so OTT, that craziness can only be pulled off in the always-offbeat Mario universe! The levels are larger and trickier but without being frustratingly difficult. The equally OTT bosses are fun to destroy and the challenge is to work out their ‘Achilles heel’ with out being bumped off yourself. There is a surprising twist when actually come to defeating the final boss… you’ll just have to complete to find out what I’m talking about!As ever, simply completing levels is not enough, the Mario games take you on a journey rather than just through an entertaining game. You have to make use of all that you’ve been given resourcefully and overcome challenges that never always have the same solution. This game is more puzzle- orientated than any Mario game previously (perhaps closer to SMB 3 in approach than SMW) seen. So the adventure begins, and what an adventure this is! The game brings an invigorating change to the previous Super Mario World, where Yoshi was the proverbial ‘workhorse’ for the Mario brothers. Here you have Yoshis of all colours with the green Yoshi being the main dinosaur. These guys have all new moves to use against Kamek’s enemies. The most notable being Yoshi swallowing his enemies and …err… excreting them as eggs. These eggs can be used to hurl at other enemies, unreachable items and to defeat bosses. Other moves include mega-stomping the ground, temporarily flying and morphing into vehicles. Wait second, vehicles? Yes, vehicles… Yoshi can transform into a helicopter, submarine, train or a car at certain sections of levels. The morph only lasts for a shot time within which you have to collect coins, power-ups and avoid baddies. Its diversions such as these that have always added depth to Mario games, which can appear very facile to the spectator, but fun to the player. There are many bonus games to access and a myriad of secrets to find. In fact to get the most out of these you’ll inadvertently end up playing the game more than once. The presentation is also superb as always, with great graphics and plenty of catchy tunes. The style of Yoshi’s Island is fully realised and consistent throughout, more so than any preceding Mario game. With the variety in graphics, amazingly nothing appears out of place. The presentation may seem infantile, but wait a minute the game is centered on lost baby twins (duh!). The graphics did grow on me even more than today’s eye-blistering, 3D affairs. I loved the crayon, chalk and pencil landscapes: fooling you into thinking a child had drawn and coloured all these levels. Its not the fact that the graphics are great but the style of the game really immerses you into the varied environments of Yoshi’s Island. The audio is also clear and functional, while the music lulls you into playing the game as if you were playing with a toy. Maintaining this ‘universality’ of graphics and audio is another successful feature of all Mario games: it truly excels in Yoshi’s Island. This review, in all honesty, does not sum up how great a game Yoshi’s Island really is… there is literally so much to encounter that you’ll not be bored of this game for a considerable length of time. The game is imaginative, colourful and highly entertaining. Another great thing about this game is that it will appeal to young kids, older kids and perhaps even those who wish they were still kids. Certain parts of the game perhaps require a little bit more skill than what children can be capable of and the sexless nature of the game means girls will love it just as much as guys. Yoshi’s Island’s appeal does spread wide, and its a game that once played, goes to show just how masterful Nintendo are when it comes to creating high quality games. Made in 1996, Yoshi’s Island was eagerly awaited and breathed life into the SNES at a time when its appeal was in decline. Don’t just take my word for it, or that of the other brilliant reviews it has received. Now that the SNES no longer lives, at least it can boast to giving us one of the greatest platform games ever made.
Customer Review: A Personal Favourite
This is the game I’ve played most since buying a DS a few months ago. I know it’s a GBA game, but it is better - I suspect - than many games on the DS. It is certainly better than most of the DS games I’ve played so far. Though, in part that may be because I prefer the 2D perspective. I never realised what I was missing when I just had the GBA and somehow missed this game. But as I never got around to buying the SP version with its backlight it is probably a good thing for my eyesight that I have waited until now to discover this gem.

Fudoh: The New Generation The Berserk Gutts plush measures approximately 9 inches. Made by Media Blasters.
Customer Review: Miike Fires A Dart and It Hits The Target
Since being off on sick leave and discovering Amazon, I have also had the time to discover Takashi Miike. A Japanese director who was a bit of a thug in his youth, he fell into directing just because, well, it was there. Films which I have seen of his and reviewed include Audition (Hitchcock on steroids) and Bird People In China (a remarkable character study). The only film of Miike’s I have not liked to date is ‘Visitor Q’, which just plain pushed my buttons–and the wrong ones. However, lately I have been feeling bad about that. I posted a positive review of Ichi The Killer, but it disappeared into cyberspace–but plenty of people have already reviewed that remarkable film.

Miike is a provocateur. For the most part, he makes direct to video films. The budget is low, the money is made back by DVD sales, and he can cut loose. Often cutting loose for Miike involves chopping off feet, but can include people being cut in half. Miike likes to be outrageous. I first came across him when, cruising Future Shop, I came across “Imprint.” This was a one hour film commissioned by Showtime for its “Masters of Horror” cable tv series. However, it was too much even for that series, and was released independetly on DVD after Showtime refused to air it.

Fudoh is something else again, even for Miike’s work. It is a revenge story, with some real similarities to Clint Eastwood’s “Unforgiven”–one act of violence leads to an endless cycle of more violence. The violence gets worse and worse.

Although I will be judicious in this review about plot points, and not give away too much, you should still beware:

SPOILERS AHEAD. IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS, STOP!!

The film begins with Fudoh as a child. His father and older brother are both gangsters. After what can only be described as a toilet massacre that makes Sam Peckinpah’s films look like The Sound Of Music, Fudoh’s father kills Fudoh’s older brother to placate other gangsters upset by the massacre. To say Fudoh’s dad gives the other gangsters a head’s up on Fudoh’s brother, or that he heads off their concerns…well, you can guess, eh?

Cut to Fudoh as a high school student. This is one rock and roll high school. Fudoh is running his own gang. Helping him are two young boys, perhaps eleven or so years old, who look like they can barely carry their machine guns. These boys don’t, uh, kid around. They help Fudoh with his gang, and that includes assassinating the gangsters connected with Fudoh’s brother’s death.

My favourite Fudoh aide is a cheerleader type, a girl who shows a remarkable ability with darts. She does not use her hand to throw darts, nor does she use her mouth. But she does blow the darts out. Do I have to be explicit? Let’s say her aim is remarkable, given she shots the darts while on her back.

The film is beautifully shot and paced, and contains, as one should expect from the above descriptions, a whole truckload of dark humour. I’ve seen Peckinpah, I’ve seen Scorsese’s gangster movies, heck I’ve seen Friday the 13th. But I ain’t never seen nothing quite like this!!

The film, while hilarious in parts, is equally dramatic. Miike makes it serious when he has to, yet there is no vibe clash when he switches tones. I’m not sure yet how he pulled it off, but he did.

As the revenge cycle gets worse, the violence increases and things get nastier and nastier. Unlike with Visitor Q, though, this is an entertainment that does not rub your nose in it (in fact, unlike Dead or Alive, which tended to also rub your nose in it). Also, unlike some Miike films, it does not feel rushed, with things thrown in for the heck of it. Everything works, right to the end. No scenes stick out like a sore thumb. Or, for that matter, like a dismembered thumb.

Stylish, clever, violent, sexy–did I mention the scene involving two women making out, only one of them is also a man?–this is a unique film that is well worth checking out. Except you’ll never check it out of any video store except a speciality store, you’ll have to buy this sucker. It ain’t coming on cable any time soon!!

FIFA Football 2005 (GBA)
Customer Review: 8-year old's opinion!
I liked FIFA 05 until my Career Mode broke. Now I'm doing boring challenges and tournament mode - winning the FA cup, resetting accidentally.

Customer Review: Fifa fun
Bought Fifa 2005 on GBA SP a few days ago. And after playing every game mode and enjoying them all, I’d like to say that EA have done well to create a game of this quality for a handheld console. It’s a lot harder to make a good footie sim on GBA than on larger consoles and that is the reason it’s getting four stars rather than one or two, as I’d give it if it was on a PS2.

This isn’t really a football sim, more of an entertaining arcade football game. It is quite easy to score goals and you can bang five or six past a team on professional quite quickly. The throw ins are very inaccurate and you will give it to the other team 7 times out of 10. Free-kicks are also extremely hard to score (I haven’t scored one yet) as when you try to shoot you just loop the ball into the keepers hands. Penalties are also quite hard to score, and I have scored none of the three I’ve taken. The faces aren’t realiseable either.

Those are the bad points. Now here are the points I have to praise EA on. They have made a fairly entertaining and addictive football game. The game modes, tournament, career, friendly and challenge are all entertaining and the challenges are a challenge. Though Rooney plays for Everton and Scholes plays for England, this game is fairly up to date with the teams. Before Pro Evo fans come out and start criticising the gameplay, I have to say that for a GBA game, the gameplay is fairly fluent and the one touch pass and shot is a great addition. A good game!

Customer Review: Handy
As soon as I got my pink DS, I had to get the accessory pack to go with it. The case is very handy, as when I put it in my bag, I don’t have to worry about my DS getting scratched or dirty. It’s a bit bulky, and the colour didn’t really match the pink on the DS, but it’s not really a big problem. I love the earphones with the volume control on it, and the in car charger is very useful. I don’t use the game case much, as I only have one game at the moment, and the colour of the case makes it look cheap. But all in all, it was a good choice to buy the pack!
Customer Review: Excellent
Got this to go with the DS lite. It all is fine. Excellent little case to carry 3 games and keep a spare pen to. Its hard covered so protects the DS. Also has a carry strap. This is brilliant for keeping it in but also for taking it on holiday. Came with pink car charger and pink headphones - although the headphones did say they had a volume control - but they don’t.

Scooby Doo! 2 Monsters Unleashed (GBA)
Customer Review: Horrible
I couldn't disagree more with the other reviewers here. This game has clunky graphics, terrible collision detection, ropey animation and lazy level design. I bought it as a Christmas present for my five year old nephew who loves Scooby Doo but hated this game. Luckily I'd also bought him Crash Bandicoot for his GBA too which is an excellent game so that saved the day. This is just another example of cobbling together a game as quickly as possible to sell it on the back of the success of the movie.

Customer Review: Best of coolsville
It is brill. You can be anyone in the gang! It will take you a while to complete. There are loads of levels. I have only got to the faux ghost with sheer luck. So for all those people who say ‘It is really short’ you are wrong because gameboy cartriges are small so they cannot store alot of information.

Th only downside is that it uses the old password system. I reccomend you get pen+paper and write down all the passwords so when you restart it you can go sraight to a level rather than starting all over.

Customer Review: No Annoying Fingerprints
My only complaint about the original PSP was the gloss finish to the system. I couldn’t hold the system without getting fingerprints all over it and I was constantly cleaning it. I heard about the PSP 2000 and initially I hadn’t planned on buying one. I reconsidered after hearing about some of the improvements.

For starters it is significantly lighter than the original PSP and of course it is thinner. Personally I liked the original size of the system. It is much easier to grip but I do like the lighter weight. It allows me to play my games for an extended period of time.

The system still uses the gloss finish and now the back side of the system has that same finish (similar to the Nintendo DS). With it getting close to winter it’s not too big of a deal but when summer comes that is going to be a problem. On the plus side if you buy the white or the silver PSP you’ll only have to worry about fingerprints on the screen. The black PSP still has the same problem as the original PSP. I would highly recommend getting a screen protector.

The PSP ram memory has been upgraded to 64MB to improve load times. One game I’m definitely seeing is taking advantage of this is Final Fantasy Tactics. On my old PSP this game was plagued by load times. On the 2000 I noticed during battles the action doesn’t pause when a character performs a special move (casting spells or summons, et cetera.) As far as the games themselves loading I’m not seeing a difference.

I purchased the Daxter pack specifically for the 1GB memory card so I could listen to my music at work. In the past I would have never used my PSP as a music player but I’ve had nothing but problems with all the mp3 players I’ve purchased. I was considering getting an iPod when I had the idea to use my PSP. I don’t have to go out and buy me a carrying case because I already own one and now I have my games and my music in one device. Wish I had though of that sooner before I threw my money away on all those media players. I have to say the PSP is not a bad music player. The sound quality is about as good as all my other mp3 players. It’s too bad it does work with the Windows Media Player Sync feature. It would have been nice to be able to Sync all of my playlist.

Overall the PSP is the best handheld out there on the market… at least in my opinion. Of course it seems I’m a minority in this but it definitely beats out the Nintendo DS. There are just more variety of games to choose from on the PSP than the DS. The games look better and they play better because you don’t have to get used to a new control scheme (I’m referring to the stylus on the DS).

Jabra BT250v - Bluetooth Headset With In Car Charger
Customer Review: ‘Which’ done well
This product appeared as a best buy in Which mag. I have to say it is fab, simple as that. It was simple to install. It is light weight. Clarity is excellent from both ends of the call (bought my brother one as he always complained about his and I could hardly hear him in traffic, now not a problem). The reconnect feature is brill: when i drop the kids off at the dreaded mother-in-laws i always leave the phone on the dash as i’m in and out of the house in 2 mins, the phone automatically reconnects.
Customer Review: Very Compatable With PS3
with no official ps3 headset out atm, and only a madcatz bluetooth headset which has very poor ratings, i decided to have a glance around for a good priced good quality product, and decided to go with this one… well when it arrived i couldn’t be much happier. to get it connected to the ps3 simple follow these steps: 1) charge up the headset for atleast 10 minutes. 2) Open up the ps3 menu 3) Settings -> Accessory Settings -> Register Bluetooth Device 4) Hold the phone icon on the headset for 5 seconds until it lights up with a blue light. 5) Scan -> Select the jabra device -> Enter pin (0000) once that’s done your set to go, now if you want to use it antime just hold the phone icon to turn it on :)

Customer Review: The “King” of all wrestling games is here!
What a great wrestling game! Now I’m not saying its a perfect game…. it certainly has one or two stupid bugs but this game has so much to offer. Whether or not you are a wrestling fan this game has a lot to make it attractive for several weeks off hard playing. Firstly the roster of stars is great and it is a nice touch that you can “unlock” legendary stars such as Hulk Hogan, The Rock etc. Also you can create your own superstar and this is fantastic, everything from height, weight, skin tone, tattoos and much more can go into making you superstar with of course their own special set of wrestling moves. With fight experience your superstar improves and will eventually challenge for a title match! The fights themselves are very varied with at least 12 - 16 match types, wrestlers having different styles, strenghts and weaknesses. The moves will take some time to master but then this makes the game more enjoyable and challenging. The season mode is fun if limited and is a good way to get involved in the “story side” of wrestling. It is also a greta way of improving your wrestling skills. Although the story is pretty simple it is still entertaining. If you like wrestling then this game will knock you down and pin you for a three count!

Halo: Combat Evolved quickly became known as the first ‘killer application’ for Microsoft’s Xbox video-game console when it was released in 2001, achieving both critical acclaim and financial success. Combat Evolved was later published on the PC and finally released for the Mac (for which it was originally developed prior to Microsoft’s buying developer Bungie).

Xbox 360 Power AC Adapter

February 7th, 2008

Playstation2 Spring Sports Pack Get maximum sports action with this special PlayStation2 game pack, which includes the new PlayStation2 console (with controller), a Sony 8 MB memory card, and three games (Triple Play Baseball, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2001, and NBA Live 2001).

At the heart of the PlayStation2 is the 128-bit Emotion Engine processor, which brings lightning-fast gameplay and unprecedented graphics power to your TV screen. We’ve packed in three AAA sports titles to get things started.

Triple Play Baseball brings hard-hitting baseball action to life with all the big-league teams, players, and stadiums–even the newly built Miller Park in Milwaukee and PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Players will enjoy the enhanced fielding control with one-button throws and power sensitivity.

The game of golf is as much about feel as it is about power. With the way Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2001 uses the PlayStation2’s analog controller, you’ll be better able to fade, draw, or spin your shot. The game also lets you compete with or against Tiger Woods, Justin Leonard, Brad Faxon, Stewart Cink, Mark O’Meara, and several other top PGA Tour pros on accurately rendered pro courses.

NBA Live 2001 adds quite a few new touches to the long-running basketball franchise, including coaches who lose their cool at bad calls and player moves such as turnaround jumpers, drop steps, up-and-under moves, and monster dunks. It also includes some classic teams, such as the ‘72 Lakers or ‘86 Celtics, each with its full complement of players from its winning season right down to likenesses and uniforms.

To help you make headway in these games, this bundle also includes a Sony 8 MB memory card.

Customer Review: The worst for boys
I thought I was going to like this game but the same thing happens every day. You wake up, you find garbage everywhere, youhave no time to do anything and then your mum calls you for breakfast, you give food to the dog, school, walk, dinner, sleep. It takes an awful lot of time just for the people to talk and they also say the same thing every time. I would never recommend it to anyone. Plus it is not long (the whole game).
Customer Review: Good

Customer Review: This game is great !
I have tried so many horse games for nintendo ds and this is most definately the best one! This game actually uses the ds touch screen, unlike most other games. Unlike Pippa Funnell, there aren’t bits where you can get really stuck and feel like giving up. You have to complete diplomas in order to do more competitions so you are always doing something. Some of the words used were a bit strange, like they called showjumping, steeplechase? These graphics were way above the Pippa Funnell graphics, the horses espicially were amazing, although the people weren’t great. I would really recommend this game, for girls in their lower teens , and i think its good for people who horse ride and those who don’t ride aswell.
Customer Review: Loved it !! Recommend to all !
I am 14 years old and i loved this game! The graphics are good and it is easy to play! I completed the game in less thn a week but i still love 2 just sit and do the courses again! I recommend this game to anyone of any ages!! It is proberly the best next thing to a real horse! A must have for all horse lovers with a DS !!
