Customer Review: Scrabble but not english
Good game, keeps the fun of the board game, but and its a big BUT the spelling is american. Colour isnt spelt color at least this game spells it like that. It allows some strange words, iii for instance and some very american abbreviations such as CIA, but not CID. Overall good but disappointing that a game sold in the UK doesnt have a ENGLISH based dictionary or at least a warning on the box!
Customer Review: It's Scrabble Jim, but not as we know it
Scrabble Scramble has some fun puzzles and word games, but the 'Classic'option is not the classic scrabble game you would expect. You choose 101, 202 or 505 tiles in your bag and are presented with a scrabble board full of tiles. You then have to make words by connecting the letters. From your starting letter you can then move to any of the eight surrounding it. Chaining letters in this fashion makes your word. So it's a scrabble game. But it's not a rack of seven letters with the challenge of placing them while fitting in with what your opponent has placed before you.

Donkey Kong Country gave Nintendo’s original monkey some new-found fame, along with introducing a new character, Diddy Kong. The game was revolutionary in that it was one of the first games for a mainstream home video game console to use pre-rendered 3-D graphics.

Customer Review: Groundbreaking for video games
This was just one of the games that set the SNES apart from any other console previously released. ‘Shingy’ admitted after the games was released that he was annoyed people focused on the technical brilliance of the graphics rather than gameplay, but who could blame us? DK Country used ‘pre rendered’ computer images for the cast of characters and the objects they use. In English, this means for the first time ever, the game used super-exspensive computing power to create fully 3-D objects and characters, that actually moved life-like and smoothly. This was achieved through dropping the process of animating several pixel images, and actually creating a 3-D ‘model’. The result is that this was way ahead of its time. The music is also on the same level, as cartridges were now catching with Amiga’s ‘Jaguar’ and other CD operated consoles that could use lengthy real sound files. DK Country has an array of beautiful music that was the 1994 equivalent of today’s mp3 files - compressed, but still sounding like an epic film! The pan-pipes and other instruments are lovely, friendly sounds. And the story? Nothing too strenuous, but with games like this, the fun is spread throughout, and completing any one of the amazing difficult levels (such as the Minecart one…. we’ll all got angry over that!) feels amazing. This is a must for any SNES owner as is appeals for all gamers. It’s rare and exspensive these days, coming in 2 editions, but it’s well worth it even if you just download it onto you Wii. A perfect 10/10!

Customer Review: A Great Console
I just got a Game boy micro and i think that it is amazong value and well worth the money- the screen is brighter then the GBA and sp put together and really sharp, the buttons and easy to operate and the joystick is soft on the fingers. I gave four stars because your right thumb gets a touch sore from pressing the a button too much and although it only came out last year it is getting increasingly less common to fond good games on highstreet stores, so i only have one game (which is ok really as i really enjoy it and haven’t got bored of it yet) But overall the screen is amazing, i would go as far as saying even better then the PSP but on a much smaller scale, it seems a shame the graphics on the games don’t live up to it. The battery time dosen’t seem to be a problem and it has survived a couple fo collisions with the kitchen floor. i always did love small things and it is so easy to slip in your pocket, you don’t realise how small it actually is until it arrives, i would say it is a must buy for gamers on the go, and, having said that, those glued to the couch at the same time, the text is still, amazingly, clear in such a small screen, if you can read a paper without glasses this will be no problem!
Customer Review: Gameboy Micro is GR8!
This is a GREAT little piece of kit. It does exactly what it says on the tin with great clear gaming on the go. I have been playing it non-stop and i have had no problems with eye strain or muscle cramp. The display is amazing and is soooo much better then previous GB advances and with over 700 gba games to choose from its a great console. A few downsides though…(and only a few): The a & b buttons could have done with being a tiny bit further away from each other. The L & R buttons are a little hard to press quickly, (But now im just being picky). Overall a great purchase.

The Orange Box
The Orange Box includes all the content of The Black Box for PC, plus the original Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One. Innovative games featured in The Orange Box include Half-Life 2: Episode Two, the second installment in Valve’s episodic trilogy advances the award-winning story, leading the player to new locations outside of City 17, as well as the pioneering type of single-player action game Portal, which rewrites the rules for how players approach and manipulate their environment, and Team Fortress 2 — an all-new version of the legendary title that spawned team based multiplayer action games with a daring new art style features the most advanced graphics of any Source-based game released to date.
Customer Review: Good Game, could have been better, but they only had 10 years.
This is a really good deal for what you get, however, you should note, to play Team Fortress 2 and the new version of Half Life, you will need a XBOX Live gold membership.
Orange box includes the old Half Life games, I am not sure why you would want to rehash that, especially since most of us probably have the original versions. Old versions seem tired, and I wonder how it kept my attention years ago. If you are even a occasional gamer, you ought to have something better to play than old first person shooters.
Team Fortress 2 is excellent if you can find a decent server to play it on. When the system goes to search there doesn’t seem to be near the variety that pops up with some other multiplayer games like WarHawk.
I am also getting tired of multiplayer releases without single player gaming on the disc. These games initially do fairly well, if you can find a good server, but try and play it in a year or two, servers will be even harder to find. 10 years of development should have been enough to give this game a single player version.
The new Half Life version is okay, but you have a feeling that you have already played it. Again, surely there is something that hasn’t been rehashed out there that an occasional gamer could better spend his time playing, perhaps BIOSHOCK or HALO 3, STRANGLEHOLD.
