A Range of Pokemon Games Now

Advantages: Enjoyable, Good Graphics
Disadvantages: Hard, Hurts hands but keeps them healthy

...So, the first Pokemon Ranger game arrived last year in EU, and to be honest, its a pretty good game. It is very very tough at times too, especially when trying to catch legendary pokemon. With some legendarys, you have to move the styler as fast as you may ever need to. Pokémon Ranger is set in the Fiore Reigion (A Reigon where you'll find all the rangers mostly). Your ambition is to become a Ranger, and that dream comes true when you go to Ringtown and your dream comes true. However, there is a sinister team named the Go-Rock Squad, and at the start, you are not told much about them unless you progress through the game, gaining ranks and styler experience. Everybody in the Fiore reigon do not keep their Pokemon in Pokeballs, so that means its easy for people's pokemon to run off, meaning you have to rescue them back. In the game...

Review of Pokemon Ranger (Nintendo DS)

A Pokemon master

Advantages: characters care about their Pokemon
Disadvantages: repetitive

...heard in the Gameboy game. Watch it ?: It isn't that bad to be honest a fine way to kill 20 minutes and the story is intriguing begging you to watch more, though mainly aimed at kids some adults may like it too. If you are interested you can catch 'em on ITV1 at 8:20 on Sunday Mornings on Up On The Roof and Sky viewers can find 'em on Kids WB and Sky One. Buy it ?: I have to say Pokemon TV Episodes to buy seem to be quite scarce in the UK, with only a few videos of the 1st series available for purchase. If you want to import them from the USA you can find every episode ever aired in DVD box sets. If you like Pokemon there is absolutely tons of Pokemon branded things floating around. Pokemon toys, sweets, cards, games, clothes. You will have no trouble at all buying Pokemon merchandise....

Review of Pokemon

Pokemon Platinum - Platinum Quality

Advantages: Great graphics and longevity. Online capabilities are excelent. A very fun game.
Disadvantages: Battling gets monotonous after a while; Not worth getting if you have Diamond/Pearl already

...For any fan of the pokemon series, Pokemon Platinum is an amazing and brilliant game to own. This game is the third installment to the games Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and has many more features. The storyline is similar to the other two games and to every other pokemon game which is to fight through a building filled with trainers from an evil organisation. The battles here are monotonous and not very difficult to win. This aside, the game is brilliant in terms of gameplay with many pokemon to catch and a lot of legendary pokemon to keep you busy trying to get them. Even after the game is beaten there is a lot to do, train pokemon, catch them all, battle with friends, it could never end. The graphics of this game are stunning. The Nintendo DS' 3D capabilities are really put to good use everywhere in the game and for a handheld game...

Review of Pokémon Platinum (Nintendo DS)

The Best Pokemon Games So Far

Advantages: Some pokemon from Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver included
Disadvantages: same old same old

...Thes 2 games are easily the best addition to the pokemon series so far , they feature up to about 124 pokemon on each version with roughly about 20-30 of these pokemon unique to each version . This game also features the breeding option although it is more difficult as there is no Ditto , however when you obtain a male and female of a few certain species you will be awarded with a baby(generation before the first Pokemon in an evolution series). The breeding option can be useful in many ways , one of the main ones being : someone wants to trade there starting pokemon with your starting pokemon(You get a choice of 3 at the beginning of the game from your towns proffesor as in the other Pokemon games , then you have to trade to get the rest) you can make a baby of yours and go ahead with the trade . Storyline - 8/10 The storyline is...

Review of Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire (GBA)

Pokemon Pearl

Advantages: Loads of things to do, Lots of Multiplayer Features, Wi-Fi
Disadvantages: You cant possibly catch them all,

...From game to game the pokemon series has continued to be the same story again and again except slightly different, but the strange thing it, the more games you play, the more engrossed you become in the game. Although there doesn't seem to be anything much new for the players that have played the old pokemon games, for people that haven't played them before though there is a lot to do and to discover. The overall theme of this game is to find and capture over 150 different types of battling monsters and then fight against other trainers until you become the champion of the region. But this is just scratching the surface, with over 150 before you complete the main story and over 450 after you complete it there is little chance that you will complete it no matter how much of your time you dedicate to it. This is the point though, to...

==Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)==

Advantages: variety of games to play
Disadvantages: Slow loading

...Mario & Sonic at the olympic games was the first game i bought after getting a Wii for christmas. I personally think that it is an excellent first game to get for the Wii. You can happily play for hours and hours becuase of the wide variety of events you can play. These events include; *"Swimming" *"Archery" *"Running" *"Hurdles" *"Long jump" *"Triple jump" *High jump" *"Pole vault" *"Hammer throw" *"Javeline throw" *"Epée" *"Trampoline" *"Vault" *"Rowing" *"Skeet" *"Tennis" So as you can see by this list you have a wide variety to choose from but you also have the options of unlocking different games, this can be done by breaking records and so on. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is fun for all the family to enjoy because it has a multiplayer option of upto 4 people. You also get to choose from all your favourite...

Review of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Advantages: Great fun, realistic actions
Disadvantages: Will tire you out easily

...During the 1990s, if you had a games console you would have probably been in one of two camps: Sega or Nintendo. I certainly was rooted firmly in the Sega camp having had a Mega Drive for many, many years with games like Street of Rage, Ecco the Dolphin and of course, Sonic the Hedgehog. I was a huge Sonic fan, playing the first and second game until completion and then starting up again a few days later as I loved everything about it, the colours, the gameplay.... everything. So if you tried to convince me that some 10-15 years later that Sonic and Mario would team up in a game, I probably would have just laughed. Back then it would have been an absurd thought but one that any magazine reviewer or computer game fanboy would have only dreamed about. Well January 2008 saw this realisation with the release of Sonic & Mario...

Review of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Diamond, the best Pokemon game yet?

Advantages: Hours of playability
Disadvantages: A lot of the the storylines have been done before

...Pokemon is a massive franchise which is popular all over the world, consisting of a tv series, series of films, collectible trading cards, collectible figurines and toys and a series of computer games. Although not as popular over here as it was some 8 or so years ago, the computer games are still very popular and I still enjoy playing them despite growing out of my pokemon phase! Introduction The format of the game is very similar to previous pokemon games, if you have played any of the previous versions it will all seem very familiar to you. The majority of the game involves battling your pokemon against various challengers, using various battle attack and defence moves. The experience of this will make your pokemon stronger throughout the game. Each pokemon has a 'type', for example, grass, and it's type will be strong against...

Review of Pokémon Diamond (Nintendo DS)

Pokémon Platinum Shines Better Than Diamond

Advantages: Longevity, fun, depth, better than previous installments and Diamond and Pearl
Disadvantages: I can't put it down, maybe not for those already with Diamond or Pearl

...Everyone who paid any attention to anything in the 90s will have heard of Pokémon. I mean, how could you not? With TV shows, movies, merchandise, a whole trading card game and more, with the whole world going crazy about it, how could you have missed it? Well, the series started with the games Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue way back on the Game Boy Colour, and many years later, after many spin offs and installments, here we are on the latest one. Pokémon Platinum What Is Pokémon? If you actually managed to avoid it, Pokémon are creatures who inhabit the world and take on many forms, with now 493 Pokémon to date. There are many types of people in the Pokémon world, some battle with the Pokémon, some breed them and some use them to help in life. But these creatures are everywhere. And this is the world we're going to transport you to...

Review of Pokémon Platinum (Nintendo DS)

The first Pokémon movie

Advantages: Well animated and illustrated
Disadvantages: Final battle is too long and takes-up too much of the mo

...was released hopefully lets a more impartial view on the movie as a whole. The illustrative works within the movie are beautiful and colourful as always and the familiar voices of the characters relate this to the series while giving it a fresh new atmosphere for the big screen. The story throughout is familiar to one you may see in the series it is relatively easy to follow and fairly exciting, but looking back over the entirety of the movie it is clear that the final battle scene takes up virtually most of the film, is very drawn-out and lasts far too long. The actual DVD comes free with a promo Pokemon card, as they did when it was first released in the cinemas. Along with this there are come extra features in the DVD menus such as the origin of the original Japanese series and the history of video games leading up to the Pokemon...
