GAME

Advantages: great games
Disadvantages: n/a

...Game is a great shop for any gaming fan, when it comes to getting the games that you want.If it is a console im afraid you are not so lucky, i spent ages trying to get a Nintendo Wii and they always seemed out of stock. They stock consoles, games and accessories for th Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance, Gamecube, PC Games, Sony Playstation 2, Sony Playstation 3, Sony Playstation Portable, Nintendo Wii, Xbox and Xbox 360. Game offer special deal when you buy a bundle with any of the consoles, games and accessories. Game is a shop that is well worth visiting if you are passing as they have special offers on a weekly basis on certain games, so worth a visit to try and bag bargain. I have noticed that you can get better offers if you look around online using the comparison sites as the game market is a very competitive market. Game...

Review of Game (Shop)

Game

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...This review is focuses on game.co.uk, an online gaming, and gaming accessories website, that allows people to purchase games online, with it then later being delivered a couple of working days later. Now ive used game.oc.uk several times, infact in 2007, I would say ive spent roughly £350 purchasing items from their website, so I guess I seem to have some experience regarding what the company has to offer, the layout of the website, customer service, price and so on. This review will hopefully bring to attention why I like the site, and why I use the company on a regular basis. Company Info: Game, is a retailer both online and in store, they have a wide selection of consumer products relating to games, and gaming consoles, such as the PS2, X Box and so on. They initially started off with small retail outlets in Europe, namely in...

Life is just a game - enjoy it

Advantages: Good family fun
Disadvantages: Rules are quite difficult to pick up at first

... THE GAM OF LIFE Mention 'games' to children today and they automatically think of Wii, X Box, Play Station or DS games. But what is better than a good old-fashioned board game that the whole family can play together? I expect that many of you reading this review played it as a young person - but have you any idea how long it has been going? It may amaze you to know that it was originally created in 1860 by Milton Bradley, and was then known as The Checkered Game of Life. The modern version was originally published one hundred years later, in 1960) by the Milton Bradley Company (now a subsidiary of Hasbro). Game of Life is, just what it says on the box, a game about living your life and making choices along the way. Luck does play a major part in the game, but there are also so important decisions that have to...

Review of The Game of Life

Play the Game

Advantages: Entertaining subject, engagingly written, very amusing in parts.
Disadvantages: Loses interest towards the end.

...Want to make yourself irresistible to women? Fancy being a master of seduction? This book is the story of a man who learnt how, who learnt the secrets of the Game. Neil Strauss wasn't exactly your prototypical loveless loser, but then he wasn't terribly irresistible either. An everyman of the dating game, with ever-declining hair and glasses, the initial change involved a makeover into the shiny-bonced, sharply goateed figure gracing the cover of The Game. The physical transformation, however, was only the first and the easiest of the alterations Strauss would make. Months later, he was living in the daddy of bachelor pads, hanging out with models, dating a string of beautiful women and chatting up Britney Spears. Not bad for a balding journalist on the less youthful side of thirty. It's certainly an enticing prospect as...

Review of The Game - Neil Strauss

A gaming powerhouse

Advantages: Arguably the best selection of games of any current console. Great HD graphics.
Disadvantages: Hardware may still be somewhat unreliable. Lacks innovations specific to the Wii and PS3.

...The Xbox 360 was the first of the 7th generation consoles to hit the market, back in late 2005, and has been through a few revisions over the subsequent years as Microsoft have been constantly jockeying for position in the market against the competition. The range currently contains the minimal Arcade model, the Pro with a hard drive, and the top of the line Elite, with a bundle of extras. At the heart of the Xbox 360 is a powerful 3.2GHz triple core Xenon processor. This might not mean much to everyone, but it's a serious CPU that was easily the equal of most desktop PCs at the time the console was launched and still holds its own against more recent developments. It's more powerful by a factor of twelve than the CPU in the Wii and, although the Cell processor in the PS3 is theoretically more powerful still, the relatively...

Life Is A Game

Advantages: Interesting board game everyone seems to like
Disadvantages: Takes a while to set up

...Game Of Life one of the board games I remember from my childhood, when the whole family would sit down together on a Sunday, after Bullseye and Sunday Dinner, and play a game whether it be cards or one of the many board games we had. History The game was originally created in 1860 by Milton Bradley, and was called The Chequered Game Of Life, and it sold 45,000 copies in its first year of production. The game did not include a dice as these were considered by many to be wicked items and only for gamblers, and instead used a teetotum which is a six sided top, is where the spinner in the middle comes from. The original game was based around a chess board and the object was to land on good spaces and earn 100 points. You could earn another 50 points by reaching happy old age which was at the end of the game...

Poor stunt game

Advantages: Nothing
Disadvantages: The entire game

...Most people will have heard of the television show and movies surrounding Jackass. The idea is that there are a few silly men who like to do insane stunts and silly things for reasons unknown to the majority of us. This review is about their game they have for the Nintendo Ds console. The Game At the start your aim is to create a profile and you get to talk to some of the regulars you might associate with the television show itself. The game begins with a mission which tells you to use different items scattered around this sort of playground (a street) and your aim is to break as many bones as possible. Now as your trying to break the bones you will see other members of the crew around and you have to do mini missions for them which unlock other items for you to use in the mission. You have some trampolines; you have little...

Review of Jackass: The Game (Nintendo DS)

Solicitor on the Game

Advantages: Great layout and lots of product information making it easy for non-gamers
Disadvantages: Prices tend to be higher and a rubbish loyalty scheme

...I'll set the scene on this review by openly admitting that?um? how to put this? I'm not into gaming. I have a highly addictive nature (this is starting to sound like a confessional) and, as a result, have all but resisted the lure of the games consoles. I do have a Gamecube (and love it) but, as I've discovered, I'm hopeless at things such as first person shooters and so have limited my games choice to platform and racing games, I do, however, have a surgeon brother-in-law who is very into gaming and, he claims, this is necessary to hone his hand-eye coordination. Believe that if you will. Christmas and birthday presents are generally, therefore, new games but, try as I might, I cannot get excited when going into gaming stores and, in particular, not GAME. I find the whole atmosphere intimidating and the queues, particularly...

Is the Countdown over for this DVD game?

Advantages: In keeping with the classic TV show. Fun and educational. Entertaining.
Disadvantages: Don't get to choose the letters or numbers. Rounds repeat too often.

...This Countdown DVD (presented by the now departed Des Lynam and Carol Vorderman, as it was produced in 2006), is based on the long-running classic TV show. It allows users to play the game for themselves against family and friends (or on their own if they wish) and recreate the fun and excitement of the show. For those who don't know the rules of Countdown, here's a general rundown. Countdown comprises of letter rounds, number rounds and a conundrum. In the letters rounds (of which there are 11 in the 15-round format that the DVD follows), series of random consonants and vowels are chosen, and the object is to make the longest word you can from these letters (the longer the word, the more points scored. One point for each letter in the word and double for using all nine letters, which equates to 18 points). You have to try and score...

Review of Countdown Game (DVDi)

Are You GAME For A Bargain?

Advantages: Deals of the week, good customer service
Disadvantages: Prices not that competitive, price checks not too tight

...If GAME's slogan is "The next level", then I'm the type who prefers to play (or replay) a past level. Still, that's not to say there's not something for me at GAME, and when I'm in the Glasgow city centre I'm sure to visit the GAME stores - all 4 of them! CUSTOMER SERVICE Console games rarely come in their original sealed packages, with cases being for display and content packed inside drawers for convenience. Stickers come off easy. I've always found the customer service to be good - whilst their staff might not be best-equipped for answering game-related queries (some see them as the "PC World of video-games"), they give a fast and friendly service. Recently, a member of staff was being helpful by making sure that I was aware of the online subscription fee for a game I was going to buy. (As I was confident of there being offline...
