GAMESTER USA Power Station for Game Boy Advance
Godzilla Mothra Larvae Plush Figure Mothra is always on a mission rather than a blindly rampaging menace. The colorful mothra like most insects started as a rather ugly larvae. Made by Toy Vault.
In a nutshell:
Real-time strategy games are not normally the sort of thing you see on a console but EA have pulled out all the stops to make The Battle for Middle-Earth II work on the Xbox 360, with easy to learn controls and mountains of online options.
The lowdown:
Although most real-time strategy games are designed around using a PC keyboard and mouse they usually never get to appear on a console. With this game you’d never have guessed there was ever a problem with just a few button presses allowing you to direct vast armies and construct huge castles and encampments. Although the game is set during the same time period as the movies the action is focused elsewhere in Middle-Earth, although there’s still plenty of familiar faces. Although it benefits more than most from a HDTV screen the only real problem with the game is a slightly short single player campaign, but that shouldn’t be enough to put you off this rare console strategy treat.
Most exciting moment:
The best way to play the game is undoubtedly online, with five all new and very different game modes. The capture the flag mode works particularly well and ensures that multiplayer games never drag on too long or get too defensive.
Since you ask:
The success of this game will not only influence EA’s decision to bring Command & Conquer 3 to the Xbox 360 but THQ are also considering console versions of their real-time strategy games Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Company of Heroes.
The bottom line:
The first proper console based real-time strategy game for years.

Customer Review: finnaly a good rts for xbox 360
i havent really played any good rts’s for xbox but i then bought lotr:battle of middle earth 2. unlike many rts’s on consoles such as the xbox this one had finally sorted out the selection links on the controller so its just a quick pull on the right trigger and a small tap on the a button. you can command many different factions and units. elves gondor knights and dwarves are the factions under the good side. and uroki orcs ad coasers of umber are the factions under the bad side. you can follow the bad or good campaign battleing your way through middle eart with hundreds of men at your command. like most other rts’s you have gain many resources before you master a massive army.buildings come under resources,barracks,archery range,forge works,stables,blacksmith,tower,healing shrine, wall hub and castle. you can build as many of these buildings as you want but only if you have got enough resources. the graphics are pretty good for a rts and the amount of gameplay that comes with is good too. with the powers tab on your palentier you can summon creatures,beings or buildings. note you can take to the skies with some beings. seas can also be conquerd if you have a shipyard. you can build transporst,warships,beserkers and destroy ships in a shipyard.if a mission with buildings already placed on the map you can cpature them e.g watch towers and ship yards. this game is also xbox live enabled so you can take the fight to anyone around the globe. it also comes with the ability to download maps,pictures and themes obviously at a cost. if you havent got xbox live and dont want to follow the campaign the go to skirmish and set up a small game agaisnt the computer.you can choose the difficulty of all 4 teams and what faction they are and what side their on e.g. all against all, 2 on 2 or 3 on 1. overall this game is great but can become tedious!!!!!!!!
Customer Review: Fun Fun Fun
This is a game that in many ways is similar to Command and Conquer or Caesar III on the PC.. its a strategy game where you build up your armies and fortresses and do battle against good or evil depending on your choice of army. you can play mission based levels or set up a skirmish altho i did find skirmishes a little frustrating as you are constantly attacked before you can build up your army, there is also online game play via xbox live where you can pit yourself against a friend. there are a couple of good tutorials that do help alot and i recommend using them as the control system does need a little bit of practise. this is mainly a point and click game, point here, build a barracks or some other building, create your army, point to the enrmy and watch your guys attack them, point to ememy buildings and send your troops to destroy I found this game to be fun, entertaining and the graphics altho not jaw dropping are pretty good and are good enough to do the job. the voice overs on the cut scenes do seem a little out of place but the biggest problem i found was moving your cursor around the playing area can lead to a jerkiness as the screen is scrolling altho it doesnt do this all the time. This is a good game, with good reply value as you can complete using the good army and then play again using the bad guys. there is a demo availible on xbox live

Customer Review: GOOD FUN BUT NOT ENOUGH
I bought this game second hand and glad I did so. Although it was really fun and at times challenging, the overall game was really short. I defeated Darius, the last boss eventually with my SLR Maclaren. After this, the credits came up and blah blah blah but it says that I have only completed 87% which is rather odd. Does anyone know what I have to do after defeating Darius

I think this game is actually very good the online is fun and you can play in different types of races like pursuit tag and some others the car’s and design system is good even though there ain’t actually very many starting designs to autosculpt but you can also choose already made designed wheels, body kits, hood etc instead of making your own. The career is easy some opponents are hard if you have a bad car but easy if you have got the right car for the right race good fun game worth buying.

At first look, you might think the Game Boy Advance SP is a sleek travel alarm clock; when closed, it’s just as tall and deep as the original GBA, but only half as wide. Its clamshell design protects the screen from everyday scratches. Open it up and the hinge will seek out a preferred, pre-set angle (about 150 degrees), though you can open it a bit wider or narrower for your own comfort. The hinge stands up well to lateral pressure.
Many decried the original GBA’s reflective LCD screen and its reliance on external light sources. The Game Boy Advance SP’s main feature–optional built-in lighting–fixes this complaint nicely. The quality of the backlighting is very good; it’s bright and clear when looking directly at the screen, though less so from other angles.
The SP comes with a power adapter that recharges a built-in lithium battery; our informal tests found that it takes about four hours to fully charge (you can play it while it’s plugged in and charging), and the battery lasts about 11 hours with the backlighting constantly on. Using the backlighting less often will conserve battery power.
Size, power, and affordability don’t come without trade offs, though. There’s no headphone jack here–you’ll need a separately sold adapter–and the system isn’t very loud at its highest volume. The L and R shoulder buttons are a fraction of the size they were on the GBA, and thus are harder to hit, and the reduced size of the SP is slightly less comfortable for adult hands than the GBA. The cartridge port placement on the lower part of the console is fine for GBA games, since they are flush with the console body, but older Game Boy Color carts will stick out in a way that takes some getting used to.
Overall, the SP is a significant improvement on, and seems just as rugged as, its predecessor–which has proven to be very rugged indeed. –Porter B Hall

Customer Review: Fab!!
This Is The Best Thing You Could Possibly Buy!! Firsty Its Pink!! Which Means It Will Look Cool In Anyones Handbag! Also Its Stylish And Compact So You Can Take It Anywhere, But Thats Not The Real Beauty Of This, The Real Beauty Is The Games! The Screen Is Clear And Looks Amazing, You Can Get Soo Many Games For This, You’ll Never Be Bored Again! It Comes With A Charger So You Dont Have To Keep Forking Out On Batterys, But Please Dont Do What I Done And Lose The Charger! I Lost The Charger A While Ago And Now I Cant Play It 
If You Do Buy This, Please Put The Charger Somewhere Safe.
