Customer Review: You need it now!
I’ve got the White 360 the new 1 with a HDMI port and i got the 120gb HDD free with it because it was on offer. I had the old 360 and now my new 1 matches the elite, you do need the 120gb now because with the december update on xbox live market place, it allows you to download games on to your 360. Such as classic arcade games eg Sonic, Street fighter now it lets you get xbox original like Halo 1, Fable and many more also now map packs are in the 1gb+ so you do need it. Also once you upgrade you DON’T need a transfer cable off Microsoft, you can just recover your gamertag and then once you’ve done that anything you bought off marketplace you can re-download on to your new HDD because it knows you have paid for the download. I bought things lke Shivering isles exp for Oblivion and when i went to it, it had a tick next to it that showed i already paid for it so got it again. I think this is brilliant and now PS3 has nothing on 360!!!
Customer Review: Dont Buy It, *Yet*
120 gigabyte will be great for all those demos, videos ect… off Xbox live. All that space will mean you do not have to delete some things to make room for other downloads now and again. Obviously do not buy this if you don’t have Xbox live. A normal 360 game takes up about 100mb of memory space, which is nothing realy. But don’t buy it yet. It has already come down by 20 pounds in the last few months and it will keep dropping if people just don’t buy it!!!!

Customer Review: Fishy Fun!
After the disapointment of the GBA ‘The Incredibles’ Game, I hesitated before buying my 8 year old son this game, fearing another movie tie-in disaster. To be honest, I don’t know why I was suprised that ‘The Incredibles’ was an awful game, in my opinion Movie Tie-ins almost always are. So I am pleased to report that my son has actually really enjoyed playing this one. There is enough variety to keep him interested and challenged, without feeling the need to throw the GBA console across the room. (Yes, he really did do that! Luckily it still works…) Maybe the key point is that this has thought outside of the restrictions of the film, and come up with some ‘what came next’ ideas. Personally I don’t like hand held console games (I am not even convinced that the new generation are really worth it) but this has kept my son happy, so I feel the money was worth it for once.

Customer Review: Not worth any price
This was the first game I bought with my GBA. It is the most repetitive game I have ever played. You’d probably never finish it because you’d have died of boredom before you got half way through. The graphics are reasonable for an early GBA game but that doesn’t make up for the game itself. On each level you do exactly the same thing you did on the last level, mainly walking around looking for map pieces and avoiding the yellow-suited guys who knock your health down slightly if you bump into them. Not hard to complete the levels considering you can see where you’re supposed to be going on the map. Overall, too repitive but has bright graphics.
Customer Review: A challenging game, but too repetitive
This game is great for kids, but not so for adults. The graphics were amazing and the sound was good (it isn’t like those annoying repetitive tunes). You go around looking for bits to Boo’s door and then putting them together like a jigsaw puzzle at the end. Adults and older kids might find this too repetitive but is fun and challenging. Your enemies are the anti-kid monsters in these yellow suits with a suction tubes. You can knock them out is by roaring at them (how cool is that!) Overall a fun and intermediate game!

NINTENDO DS Lite Console - (Black)
It may have taken the world by storm with its huge range of genuinely innovative new games but theres no denying that the Nintendo DS is not exactly the most portable of portable consoles. Thats all changed now with this sleek and sexy update. When the Nintendo DS was first announced it was dismissed by many as a white elephant with a gimmicky interface and underpowered graphics. Over 15 million sales later and the story is a little different. The DS Lite is fully compatible with all existing Nintendo DS (and Game Boy Advance) games but its smaller, sleeker and lighter with a new design that perfectly matches the Nintendo Wii console. The most impressive feature is the new backlit screens which offer the sharpest image ever seen on a portable console. The DS Lite is available in three separate colours: White, Black and Pink. The DS Lite now has four brightness settings the highest is brighter than even the PSP and is clearly visible in any lighting condition. That sound? That’ll be Sony executives running to the hills - wearing sunglasses. The Nintendo DS is the fast selling console ever in Japan. When the DS Lite was released, it sold out instantly, with queues of over 1,000 people a common sight. The DS gets a face lift to become Nintendos best looking portable ever. - Harrison Dent

This is a fairly thick book that is packed with moves and combos…. but there’s so much text that there isn’t a whole lot of that cool exclusive artwork. There aren’t many visual aids to the moves either. It’s a great reference book–just don’t expect anything pretty.

Xbox 360: A Complete Guide
Price: ?11.50

Cooling Fan (Xbox 360)
Price: ?9.99
Customer Review: Better than expected
As was said in other reviews this device is lightly built. However for what it has to do it feels solid enough. I only paid nine pounds including post and it is surely worth that. After twenty or thirty minutes game play there is a noticable wram draft coming from the fans and its helped clear up my freezing problems. All in all I would recommend this it seems the best of a poor bunch!
Customer Review: It’s not fancy, but it does the trick…
After I got hit by the three red lights of doom I decided to invest in a cooling fan to hopefully prevent this from happening again. I chose the Logic3 Cooling Fan mainly because of the price but also due to the fact I hadn’t found any reports of the fan melting like other similar products. I recieved the fan yesterday and so far I’m happy with it, I do however have two concerns which brought my rating down to three stars. The first is how flimsy the product looks and feels, it doesn’t have a very solid feel and I was worried in case I broke it taking it out the packaging! The second is how hot the fan gets, the amount of heat it throws out the back isn’t a bad thing (at least it’s working properly) but after approx an hour it was getting worryingly over-heated. On the whole its not a bad piece of kit, I didn’t think it was too noisy, the console itself was definitely cooler and when I changed games the disk didn’t give me third degree burns on my fingers when I took it out.

Fantastic multiplayer will keep you playing for months Really varied single player (including split screen co-op and co-op over live).
Customer Review: Totally Awesome
Yea this game is wicked in loads of ways! Campaign is fun and challenging, and deathmaches are awesome with the levels and the variants - even if you don’t have XBOX Live. The graphics and detail of the game are really good too. This limited edition version comes with a disk which as a free skin for your XBOX Guide, some art and a song. This was the first game I got when I bought my XBOX 360 and it was well worth buying!

Intercooler (Xbox 360)
List Price: ?19.99
Amazon Price: ?14.98
Used Price: ?5.49
Customer Review: Cooler of Death
This item should be well avoided do not even think about stickin it on ya Box as it voids the warranty melts to ya box an even worse causes the RED RING OF DEATH!! so dont be fooled it does not make your 360 cooler it just sticks more strain on the power unit which causes pins to melt an power packs to blow and it drains your precious 360s power consumption which leads to your Box running unstable and causing it to crash.
Customer Review: Absolutely useless…
I originally had the idea that since I played the Xbox quite alot then it would be worthwhile investing in a cooler to reduce the risk of overheating and the console melting down… A tacky piece of equipment… the fan had three extra fans at the back of some extra fans so it wasn’t doing a lot at all, in fact it wasn’t doing anything… -Noisy… the noise is horrible and loud, it sounds like a cheap desk fan buzzing in the distance and its really really annoying!!! -Some browning on the plug… this piece of epuipment is really mucked up… it decided to burn the AC plug resulting in a replacement which cost some more cash… an unworthy trade if you ask me. Overall this was just a piece of junk and I can tell you that I exchanged it for another one just to give it one last chance and the same thing happened (but only this time the AC plug didn’t mess up completely :D).

Sumnique Xbox 360 Live Headset Headphone Microphone & 1 year “replace for new” warranty!!
Customer Review: Avoid at all costs!
I brought this headset since my old one, which came with my 360 broke. I came on amazon to buy a new, stronger one and came across this. Wrong decision! There are sooooo many flaws. .Outside is strong but the INSIDE isn’t so wires will snap or become unplugged easily .Cannot hear sound from your tv clearly because the headset is sufficating your ears, blocking almost all sound. .Mic quality is awful! When playing with friends most of them said to me why does your mic sound so crap. The awnser….. I brought this headset. .Headphones really hurt your ears making them itch constantly. I’ve had this headset for under a month and is already broke. Stuff like this really annoys me. Now im going to have to fork out another ?10-15 for a new one. Im sticking to the offical ones from now on.

Playseats Classic Gaming Seat (Black Alcantara) With a true-to-life cockpit design, the Playseats classic gaming seat puts you smack dab in the middle of your favorite racing game. The seat works with most racing titles and game systems, including the Xbox 360, GameCube, PlayStation, PlayStation2, and PCs. More importantly, the chair is notably comfortable thanks to its luxurious black Alcantara material–which feels like suede and looks like genuine black leather–all while delivering the most realistic racing simulation around. Just install a game steering wheel on the middle pole and attach a couple of pedals along the bottom (all sold separately).

The setup is easily adaptable, with three adjustment knobs letting you move the wheel and pedals closer or farther, depending on your height. And thanks to the high-quality steel construction, you needn’t worry about the gaming seat falling apart after just a few short months. Appropriate for ages 8 and older, the seat is the perfect accessory for gamers who want to boost their lap times in style.

Customer Review: Nice seat, high price!
I defanately love this seat, it makes driving games alot more enjoyable and has actually helped with strategy driving as well. The seats really comfortable, i almost want to use in my car now, haha. Only reason i give it a 4 star is because of the rigidity of the frame. It does wobble a bit, and the fine adjustments that you can make for wheel hight/length need to be a little bit longer. I have a feeling ill be modifying mine because it irks me that bad! Over all i defanately recomend this product, especially if its on sale. I got screwed with the $250.00 price
Customer Review: Great seat!
I already had the steering wheel and have used it for a few years. The seat really adds to the fun and comfort of playing. My nephew and Girl Friend both could not use the steering wheel before as they could not hold it but now it is no problem. It was easy to assemble and I feel it was a great buy.

PS3 DualShock 3 Wireless Controller (White) (Japan Version)
PlayStation 3 owners are finally getting some feedback. The SIXAXIS controller, originally bundled with the PS3, has been upgraded into the DualShock 3, combining the features of the motion-sensitive SIXAXIS controller with the force feedback functions of the PlayStation 2’s DualShock 2 controller. The controllers operate wirelessly via Bluetooth techonology, though they can also be wired with a USB-to-USB mini cable, which is also used to charge the device. The DualShock 3 can sense movement on all three-dimensional axes, and has built-in analog control on the control sticks and buttons. Of course, the big deal with the DualShock 3 is the return of the “”rumble”" feature; the controller now vibrates in response to onscreen stimuli, further increasing gameplay immersion. With the addition of force feedback, the DualShock 3 is practically a required upgrade for any hardcore PlayStation 3 owner.

Customer Review: A Must have!!!!
Im not one of those who can wait a long for getting a wanted item so i’ve paid the extra bucks for this device and im totally satisfied. Now i can control my strike zone accurately while playing Ps3 MLB 2008 The show. I have tilt sensor and vibration in one tool. These is a great controller…5 stars…

Customer Review: Finally…
Let’s just start by saying that it’s about damn time Sony got their act together with the Dualshock 3. This should have shipped on launch day.

That said, this controller is fantastic. The rumble works great, it adds much needed weight to the otherwise cheap-feeling Sixaxis, and it just feels better. It took me a few days to get used to the weight (or lack of weight) in the Sixaxis, but when I picked up the Dualshock 3, it just felt natural.

Great controller, though the price is a little high. Still, highly recommended.

Used Price: ?5.00
Customer Review: Absolutely Rubbish
I purchased this product hopeing it would improve the picture quality of my component cable. To be honest there was nothing wrong with the component, the picture was clear, sharp and the colours were vibrant. THIS cable however made the picture quality plumet completely. The screen had a dull shadow of grey coating it and the small details like edges of straight lines were all fuzzy, clearly visable from my seat around 2 meters away. Also it made the screen a fraction smaller and made everything seem more streched. Take my advice, if you want something as good as HDMI, get or stick with compenent cables. In my own opinion, compenent is just as a good as HDMI. My friend has the eilte, on the same sized tv as mine and I could see absolutley NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever. So don’t waste your money on this rubbish.
Customer Review: much better than Component and not far from HDMI
After seeing a 360 Elite via HDMI and a normal 360 via Component both on the same 32″ LCD TV, the difference was a lot more than i thought! Component gave slightly jagged edges to most objects and some colours just looked slightly off-hue, compared to HDMI which looked smoother and produced more normal colours. Annoyed that i’d bought a normal 360 before the Elite was released, I couldn’t see the point in paying around ?300 for a better picture, so for the sake of ?18 (ish) VGA was worth a try.. This cable is definitely worthwhile for the improvement it gives over Component - once the right resolution has been chosen for the TV/monitor it’s on (with a 32″ LCD @ 16:9 widescreen, 1360×768 seemed to look right), it’s very close to HDMI quality in both visual sharpness and colour realism.

Customer Review: X-BOX 360 and ps2 RIP OFF!
This is just rediculuos that on X-BOX 360 the graphics are better there are better levels on it you can xplore Springfield on it. Whilst I bought it on ps2 and I thought I was playing a game from 1995! The ps2 version is so awful that I have thrown it away! On ps2 just looking at it makes you sick! IT’S SO BLUGHRY! Trust me get it on X-BOX or ps3 and you will like it DONT get it on enything else!
Customer Review: Why you little!!!!
Well, after many a dodgy tie-in game, finally a game based upon the Simpsons IP that isn’t a complete failure. It’s not ground breaking either, but a middling, fun game. If you’re a Simpsons fan, then the humour is spot on and the cutscenes superb to watch - as you would expect given that the Simpsons writers themselves were involved in the game. The bane of all platform games (camera angles) makes an occasional appearance, but doesn’t ruin the game completely. It’s not as good as say, Lego Star Wars II, but much better than many platformers. In my opinion, there’s too much emphasis placed upon collecting things - Duff bottle caps, Marge’s saving coupons, Malibu Stacey’s, Krusty stuff - it’s like the developers needed to pad the game out - and they did, because you will complete the story line fairly quickly. The video game cliches are reasonably funny and at least take a different tact on the collectibles approach, but again, they are just padding. So, aside from a collectible overdose, you might be thinking I like this game. As a Simpsons fan, you’re right. I loved the main story, enjoyed it and thought it was a reasonable game. However, there’s a problem with the Simpsons on the 360 which others have also found and been left annoyed by - the autosave mechanism. As you progress, the game autosaves. It does so when you get a collectible, cliche or complete a chunk of the story. However, the autosave is buggy and is known to corrupt the save file. Theory seems to be that it sometimes takes much longer to save than the game indicates, so after the autosave logo disappears, you exit the game and hey presto - your save is corrupted. This is shocking and something EA should have picked up in QA. Unfortunately I fell foul to this bug after completing the main storyline and was about to embark on getting the missing collectibles - what a kick in the teeth!

Customer Review: Exspect case
I purchased 2 of these along with 2 ds lite’s just before xmas these items are excellent quality compared to any others I have seen, but do make sure you receive the Exspect skin (blue and White Box)as I ordered a third and ended up with a cheap rubber silicone skin which came in 2 parts and the top part would not stay on the ds. Not a 100% perfect fit but does the job and my 11 year old son and 10 year old stepson who have the ds glued to there hand permanantly have had no problems with it. Would give it 5 stars if the fit was a little better

Customer Review: You need it now!
I’ve got the White 360 the new 1 with a HDMI port and i got the 120gb HDD free with it because it was on offer. I had the old 360 and now my new 1 matches the elite, you do need the 120gb now because with the december update on xbox live market place, it allows you to download games on to your 360. Such as classic arcade games eg Sonic, Street fighter now it lets you get xbox original like Halo 1, Fable and many more also now map packs are in the 1gb+ so you do need it. Also once you upgrade you DON’T need a transfer cable off Microsoft, you can just recover your gamertag and then once you’ve done that anything you bought off marketplace you can re-download on to your new HDD because it knows you have paid for the download. I bought things lke Shivering isles exp for Oblivion and when i went to it, it had a tick next to it that showed i already paid for it so got it again. I think this is brilliant and now PS3 has nothing on 360!!!
Customer Review: Dont Buy It, *Yet*
120 gigabyte will be great for all those demos, videos ect… off Xbox live. All that space will mean you do not have to delete some things to make room for other downloads now and again. Obviously do not buy this if you don’t have Xbox live. A normal 360 game takes up about 100mb of memory space, which is nothing realy. But don’t buy it yet. It has already come down by 20 pounds in the last few months and it will keep dropping if people just don’t buy it!!!!

Customer Review: GOOD, BUT TOO SHORT?
this game is really good fun, but it is quite easy to complete, its also only got 16 levels. I am a teenager and a fan of shrek and i love this game, i’d say its worth a buy, but could get boring.
Customer Review: Great fun!
This game uses all functions of the DS well. The gameplay takes place on the bottom screen with the top screen being an extension of the scene (also the help tips appear here). You can play as multiple different characters. You use the directional control pad (or the ABXY buttons for LH gamers!) to move each character (although the game is set in a 3D world, the actual gameplay is only 2D so you can only move side to side or up and down). You will need to use your stylus all the time to enable each character to perform their own unique ‘moves’ to enable progression through the game. The clever part of this game is the ability to switch between playing as different characters (e.g. Shrek, Puss and Artie at the beginning of the game), individually, in pairs and as a team, making them work together to get to the end of each level. Each character has different individual skills, and you will need to use them separately to access different parts of each level to allow the other characters to continue through to the end of the level. E.g., Puss is the only one who can jump to ledges and ‘roll attack’ through small gaps; Artie is the only one who can cross water by floating on his shield and activate some magic auras by throwing his shield at a glowing object above; Shrek can break weak floors or crash through walls. If you want to progress to the next level, you will need to have moved all 3 characters through to the end of the level so that they are standing in front of the Mystic Exit together, otherwise it won’t activate! Once you have selected the mode of play and the save slot, you will be taken through the story thus far. You need to turn the DS around by 90 degrees to view it as a 2-page book. The left page has stained-glass style artwork (as per the opening of the films), and the right page has the text of the story. The great thing about this is that Donkey actually narrates the story, embellishing the standard written text as only he can! This is great fun for all, but particularly good for young children who cannot read the story-book text very fast. After Donkey has finished his story telling, you are off to the Apprentice Hall where you find yourself playing as Shrek (on his own). After successfully progressing through the Apprentice Hall playing as all the 3 characters (separately and together) you start the game ‘proper’. There are 4 ‘worlds’ - Bogey Byway, Raiders Bay, Maze of Spades, Castlehoff. In each of these 4 worlds there are 4 levels to complete (3 levels and a final level). In each level you will need to collect a number of golden fairies and coins. You cannot proceed to the next world without first completing the previous world. It is a great game that uses all the functions of the DS well. It’s certainly not a difficult game, and perhaps aimed at the younger market, however I think adults will enjoy this game and not become too bored as you need to think on an additional ‘logical’ level to complete each level using mutliple characters. GAMEPLAY INFORMATION:- 2 MODES OF PLAY - a) single play, and (b) multiplay (where you can host a game or join a game using the NDS wireless capabilities); 3 separate SAVE SLOTS to save 3 separate games - enabling multi independent users; Great SOUND EFFECTS throughout the whole game - Donkey narrates the initial story and all the ‘help’ icons, plus each character will frequently make character-specific noises (Shrek farts and burps!); MAGIC allows you to do such things as help defeat enemies and access ledges for those characters that can’t jump - if you hold the L or R shoulder button, a purple haze will cover the screen, and you can use your magic on the objects you can see flashing through the haze; COLLECT 26 GOLDEN FAIRIES to break the spell and COLLECT 84 COINS to unlock bonuses and secrets; Collect MERLIN’S HOLOGRAM BOXES throughout gameplay to see what has recently happened in Far Far Away.

Customer Review: NO POINT
Firstly, i dont own the product, heres why, i have played 8hrs straight without any fan. and my ps3 is as healthy as ever. so why? manufacturers seem too have us confused with a certain xbox 360 “red ring of death” problem. think you need a fan? take it from me you don’t. look at the other guy, the manufacterur prmises “peace of mind” yet it melts his ps3. noboody dhould consider this. get yourself a game instead.
Customer Review: Has the world gone crazy?
Hold on a minute here, I don’t get this, why are people buying cooling fans for their PS3’s? Does the PS3 have any heat issues? Listen, you are all voiding your warranties by adding these cooling fans to your PS3’s and xBox 360’s! Whats even worse is that most of them don’t help cool your consoles at all, if anything there have been reports where consoles have over heated and even melted as a result of using these cooling fans. I will not talk about the xBox 360 as most people already know about its heating issues, but the PS3 is very well made and has a really good cooling system! You’ll notice that your PS3 releases a lot of heat, most people get worried by this but this is a good thing. This is an indication that the PS3’s fans and other internal cooling systems are doing their job. Imagine if it didn’t and all that heat was retained inside the PS3 even for 10 minutes? The PS3 would shut off automatically and if it didn’t then it would melt! So its bloody good that it does release a lot oh heat. If it didn’t then I’d be worried if I were you! I’ve not yet heard of one complaint from anyone about the PS3 having heating issues and I would never use these cooling fans as they are made by third party companies and are not Sony approved. If PS3’s had a heating issue then its up to Sony to fix this. When you fork out something between ?300-430 for a gaming console, you should not have to buy cooling fans to keep the bloody thing cool! Anyway enough rumbling. The main thing here is that you will void your warranty if your system gets damaged as a result of using these cooling fans. Just MAKE SURE you keep the PS3 in a well ventilated area away from heaters etc. DONT place your PS3 inside TV cabinets etc, where there’s more likely to be less ventilation. And you shall not have any issues with the PS3. *** The new 40GB PS3 now has a 65nm cell processor instead of the 90nm cell processor used in the 60GB PS3’s. This means that the 40GB PS3 will require less energy to run which means less heat, which in turn means less noise. I’ve got a 60GB PS3 and my friend has the newer 40GB one, and his is super quiet and doesn’t seem to release much heat at all, unlike mine which is a bit more noisier than his and releases about twice the heat I’d say. Sony say that the 40GB PS3 is about 30% more efficient than the 60GB PS3. At the end of the day, its better technology, latest technology and that’s the way forward and so I shall follow. No backwards compatibility with PS2 games do I hear you say? Did you not have a PS2 before you bought the PS3 I reply! PS2 games will be extinct not so long from now!***

Customer Review: Handy For Backup Purposes, But Restricted And Too Small
The sole purpose of me buying these Memory Unit’s is one word, “Backup”. I always backup my saved data because if my consoles die or go out with a bang, I always have something small around me which has the backup data, and it helps me get back into business rather than starting from scratch! This Memory Unit is for the XBox 360 Console, it’s 64MB and it can store any type of data you acquire for backup. Because of it’s size though, you are quite limited to what you want to backup as certain retail games have saved data from about 1MB or even more. BioShock alone requires 15MB per saved game. The Orange Box is another game, which requires big data space, 10MB per saved game! Because of this reason I use the unit for games which are finished and have saved data which needs to be stored on a Memory Unit, as if for example I get the “3 Rings Of Death”, my data is safe from all that bad hassle (I’m not looking forward to getting that Ring Of Death). I’ve also discovered another little ordeal as well. If you own XBox Live on your console and you store backup data on the memory unit, you may not be able to transfer that data onto another console with another player who owns XBox Live. I tried giving my brother my Sonic The Hedgehog 1 data from my XBox 360 to his XBox 360 using the Memory Unit, but the console refused to perform that action! My Grade For The Device: 7/10: On The Ball, Down-But Not Out, OK My Wish: I wish the unit were bigger in size and the ability to transfer data from one console to another! Final Comments: Overall, if you own a few Retail or Arcade Games on the XBox 360 and require a small device for backup purposes, then look no further than this Memory Unit. If you need something bigger though, then I think you need to find another device or get 2 or more of these! Review By Captain Chris Kipper
Customer Review: What it does
The memory unit stores your gamesaves and ALSO stores your gamer profile. This means you can take it with you to a friend’s house. So if you travel a bit or even just play on someone else’s console, it’s really quick & easy to take your xbox live account with you. It’s quick to install. PS - If you’re struggling to work out how to transfer your account from the 360 to the memory unit, in the dashboard, go to System, then Memory, then choose Hard drive (if you have one). Click on the profile and the 360 will ask you if you want to move it!

Customer Review: Great game
Play as a stuntman doing great stunts for movies its amazing. The Graphics are brilliant - I love the way the roads sparkles so realisticlly! I love the easy gameplay and the way the cars and motorbikes turn easily at the flick of a button! Its a brilliant game, and I recommend it to anyone. I love it!
Customer Review: Superb
Ever since Project Gotham came out for the Xbox, i have been looking for another driving game to come and knock my socks off. PGR had everything, a good learning curve, replayability trying to ace every single race to get the cars you desired. And on a whim i bought Stuntman II: Ignition. This is the very first driving game which has left me in two states… one of being just really content to play oevr and over again in a fun loving way, and then the other state which is rip roaring aggression to master every single race. At first i thought it was impossible to get over 2 stars on any race, however once I hit the odd jobs, i had a revelation, and i went straight back to the first levels… and 5 star after 5 star came (after playing and replaying and replaying the level!!) This is not a bad thing at all. It is about becoming the master stuntman and mastering every vehicle from monster trucks, to lorries carrying a scud missile to motorbikes. They all drive differently, and you have to adjust your play to crack them. The stunts themselves are brilliantly thought out, from driving through a lava encircled town after a volcano eruption, to a Dukes of hazzard type movie… they are all brilliant fun. The only gripe i have about this (and it is a very small one) is the fact that in the action replays and trailers for the movies, you can actually see the ramps you jump over. It would have been far better to disguise them as in a proper movie… however you can not play this game and want to master it without noticing the imperfections of the game! ;) As mentioned, the string system is basically that of Tony Hawkes (although i would put it more on the Kudos system of PGR) so every time you get close to an object, go through a time gate, get air, go on two wheels-(obviously this is for the cars, and wheelies for the bikes, hitting directors marks (doing specific stunts, such as 180 degree turns, getting close to cars, bumping cars, and cashing cars) you name it, and it is there! The controls are very easy, you have accelerate, brake left and right, handbrake, and the all important action button. This sets your car on fire, slide your bike, triggers an explosion, or makes you shoot out of your car. It is of ocurse all done to the directors wishes. The cut scenes (which are basically trailers for the movies you have just completed) are briliant. They are really cheesey, and WILL put a smile on your face, and are well worth doing the scenes just to see the trailers! There are some beautiful graphics in this game, the sound is OK, nothing amazing, but the dialogue at the end of the stunt scenes reflect how you did, and can be very amusing too. Briliant game, and if you like driving games that will test you, then go for this… oh, and don’t bother with the easy mode, it is utterly pointless, as it is very easy to get one star so that you can progress.

The Halo games were always the best reason to by an Xbox and now the final part in the initial trilogy of ground breaking first person shooters is set to raise the bar for all Xbox 360 games. Well known for their secrecy, Bungie have officially revealed little about Halo 3, but what is known is that the new game features an Earth completely overtaken and controlled by the Covenant, as they seek a secret hidden Forerunner weapon.

Although little is known about the single player mode, more has been seen of the multiplayer, with various beta testing schemes going on in both secret and in public. A number of new weapons and vehicles have already been revealed including a new assault rifle, the new Spartan laser anti-vehicle weapon and a new hand held shield device for Master Chief that can create a far more effective protective shield around you. New vehicles include the ATV-like Mongoose, a new variant of the Warthog and the new, more powerful, Brute Ghost.

Of course the most important new feature that every new fan is interested in is the graphics, and they are looking predictably fantastic. With lots of technobabble, new features like high dynamic range lightning and pre-computed radiance transfer means the game will not only play great but looks amazing too.

Customer Review: A must buy
Halo 3 is the third game set in the world of Halo, and it was one of if not the most hyped games ever. It was deliberately hyped and Microsoft knew it would be their money maker, and so gave every single Live member, wheteher GOLD or SILVER membership an entire weekend to play Halo and any other game online for free. All I can say is that Halo, wehile being almost thwe same as Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, is amazing and bering the same is brilliant as it is what people fin so enjoyable and fun to play including myself. Multiplayer is the best part as it is so much fun to pllay with friends and finally you can play with friends in ranked matches.
Customer Review: good stuff
Ive had this game for a while now but have avoided playing it in favour of fifa and fight night. Ive got myself hooked up to xbox live at last and i thought id give the old slayer matches a go online. After getting my ass handed to me on several occasions by all and sundry, i decided to give the campaign mode a whirl to hopefully improve. Ive seen many varied reviews, but ive got to say I really like the game. It looks great, its not massively difficult, there are very regular checkpoints (which i really like) and its ideal for xbox live like most first person shooters. Obviously this game isnt gonna please everybody, but its been a long time since ive played a first person shooter that I like and enjoy, so I have to recommend this game strongly to any 360 owners who have not yet got it.

PSP Battery Pak [SONY] A spare battery pack to keep your game going at all times
Customer Review: Great back-up for Long Trips!
Was playing Final Fantasy II on a long drive to Virginia. Halfway through the trip, the battery was going dead. Lucky for me, I had just purchased a new PSP Battery, and charged it before leaving. I saved my game, slaped in the new battery, and continued my game. It’s a good idea to have a spare, as my PSP was bought the day it came out, and all the recharging on the old battery has started to wear it down, and the charges don’t last as long.

Customer Review: There’s no need to cry with this guide
Devil May Cry 3 is a superb action game. The combat is truly dynamic with many spectacular moves but the level design is complex with many hard to find items. I must admit I would not have been able to complete the game without the aid of this guide. The book begins with profiles of the main characters and monsters and then moves on to the devil’s arms and the actions associated with them. Guns and items and key items are then listed followed by the six different styles and every move and attack related to each style. The walkthrough is very comprehensive with each mission given a recommended style and choice of weapons. A map is given as are the positions of all hidden items and orbs. All secret missions are detailed with advice on how to complete them. The guide also states the best way to deal with the many bosses. The basics of play are also included. The back of the book has many walkthrough area maps and a foldout section detailing every single special move Dante can use. The back page details all the unlockables. However, there is one blue orb fragment that is not in the guide. In the Subterranean Garden above and to the left of the God of Time Statue is a small passage. A fragment is inside. This guide was published before the release of the Special Edition and does not include the battles with the Jester and Vergil’s special moves with Yamato, Force Edge and Beowulf or his passage through the game. Otherwise for gamers having problems proceeding with this game this guide is highly recommended.

Game Boy Advance Console - Clear Blue
The Game Boy Advance features power that would have been unthinkable back when the original Game Boy was launched. Its 32-bit RISC CPU runs circles around the former machine’s 8-bit workhorse, allowing it to process program instructions much faster. What that means to everyday gamers is more intricate visuals, more simultaneous movement on the screen, and better sound. In fact, the often-annoying bleeps and bloops of old-school Game Boy titles are being replaced with digitised stereo sound. When you first pick up the system, you’ll notice how lightweight it is. It’s a little less than 150 grams, but a little larger than a deck of playing cards. The GBA’s wider shape fits better into a wider range of hands, and the screen is fitted with antiglare technology–you need pretty good light to play by, but you won’t be craning your neck and tilting the unit to see around the reflection of the light bulb in your screen.

You’ll also notice the graphics. Essentially sporting redesigned SNES technology, you’ll see things on the GBA that the big consoles do, such as scaling (making objects larger or smaller) and rotation effects–technological advances that will affect the look of everything from crossing a finish line to scoring a goal to crawling through a dungeon. The extra processing muscle also means you can network up to four Game Boy Advance units together, via the communication cable, for multiplayer fun from one shared cartridge. Because the Game Boy Advance system is backward-compatible, it will play not only its own line of colourful games–including such launch titles as Super Mario Advance, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, and Kuru Kuru Kurin–but also almost all of the monochrome and colour games that have already been released for the previous Game Boy systems. It seems that Nintendo have wisely struck a balance between size, price, and power consumption. And considering how well the old 8-bit system weathered the decade’s technological storms, the Game Boy Advance seems here to stay. –Porter B Hall

Customer Review: Decent enough…
The GBA maybe showing its age against the DS and PSP but it’s still a decent portable gaming system and there’s nearly always something for everyone here. The handheld has a large list of games plus it can play older Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles giving you access to a massive library of games to choose from. If you have the right cables you can link up with other GBA’s to play multiplayer games and even link up with the Gamecube on certain games. The only major problem with the system is the lack of a back light display which means that if you play the GBA in a poorly lit place you won’t see very much. There are ways around this (worm light, afterburner…) but you are worried about this I recommend getting the GBA SP or a DS instead. If you are looking for a cheap portable gaming system, you won’t go far wrong with the GBA. Get some decent rechargeable batteries and bus/train journeys will never be the same again.
Customer Review: Good system for the kids
This is an OK first game system for the kids. it will keep them amused for some time, although, if you are used to the screen lighting up, this is not for you. but once you get used to that, you can enjoy the console, plus the ability to link to other users can take you to another level, so long as you have the same game !!!!

The only complaint I have is that there is no quick volume control; once you’ve plugged it into your USB port, it overrides the laptop’s volume control “knob”. You have to open the volume icon in your Control Panel every time you want to adjust the speaker volume, which can be too slow when you’re being blasted by a loud video.

This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the volume modulation in the speaker itself, just that there seems to be a wide volume range across items I view–YouTube, email messages with videos from friends, etc.

If this speaker had a volume control knob it would be perfect!
