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....

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 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)

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...

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)

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Advantages: Great multiplayer fun, lots to do
Disadvantages: Slightly Repetetive

...The Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has been with us for a while now, and it hasn't been too badly received either amongst the Wii-mote waving, button bashing members of the public out there, so now that the DS version has finally arrived, should these same gamers still be as excited as they were the first time around? Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on the DS is certainly not short on features, 16 playable characters have all been included, each of which are split into four categories such speed, skill, power and the all rounder's, therefore you can choose which characters you would prefer to use for each event based on their ability. The game also offers plenty of choice when it comes to events, these range from sprinting, swimming and cycling to more specialist events such as fencing and gymnastics...

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

Do we really need more Pokemon Games?

Advantages: Great for Pokemon Fans
Disadvantages: Only available as American versions at present. (Although, quite easy to buy!)

...When my kids started pestering me for Pokemon Gold and Silver games I said WHY? They already have Red, Blue and Yellow, wouldn't they get bored with more similar games? No, they insisted. My son's words were, they are bigger, better, longer and harder. My daughter claimed that there are so many new Pokemon to look out for and catch. Another difference is that the games have their own built in time scale. The clocks follow real time and the game gets dark when it gets dark outside. Alos, many of the Pokemon in the games have never been seen before, in other games, in the cartoon or in the movies. There is a new world to discover. The new games also have a breeding centre for breeding your new Pokemon. The basic gameplay however is very similar to the previous games, you travel around fighting and catching Pokemon. You enter Pokemon...
