==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

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...

Now you can compete in the olympic games

Advantages: fun, variety of events
Disadvantages: muscle strain

...Having seen the advert for this game i was desperate to buy it as i have not had my wii for that long and i do not have many games. I eventually bought this game and i am so glad that i did as it is great fun. Players This game can be played as a one player or multiplayer as long as you have a wii remote for each player. Also you will need a nunchuck for each player although some of the games you can play with just the remote. Characters In this game you can play as characters from either sonic or mario such as sonic, tails, mario, princess daisy and yoshi. Each of the characters have different abilities which are split into speed, skill, power and stamina. you can choose a character who is a speed, skill, power or all around type which means that if you are playing a running game you would choose a character from the speed type...

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)

Excellent deal at toys r us (nintendo dsi with 3 games)

Advantages: offer alternatives, and solutions to instore problems
Disadvantages: not in the city centre

...The nintendo dsi is £149 at toys r us, with 3 games included. the games are my sims kingdom, sim animals, and Zubo. Unlike other retailers (Tesco for example) when they haven't got the game in are not allowed to do the deal, toys r us give u an I owe you of the game thye haven't got in stock and take your phone number and ring you as soon as its in. They let you take your dsi away. I wanted it in black, and the tickets displayed looked as though black had sold out. They just hadn't put the ticket out, but the cashier asked if blue was the colour I wanted. Told her I'd prefer black and they had a look in the back and found a black one. all in all a good result and compared to the problems in tesco the day before I wish to give toys r us 5 star for service and effort. This was my experience at Tesco. Tesco offers was Nintendo dsi...

"Toys" For All Ages

Advantages: Great humor and non-stop adventure.
Disadvantages: You should not operate heavy machinery while watching this show!

...This movie brings out the inner child in me! When I first saw this movie, my aspiration became to one day work in an awesome toy factory like the one in this show. Robin Williams is absolutely hilarious as Leslie (Williams) embarks on an childlike adventure with his strange yet comedic sister (Joan Cusack) as they try to bring back the joy and purity of their father's toy factory after it is taken over by their uncle (a stern military man). You will relive your dreams and fantasies as you experience the kind of toys that most of us wished we had. From dolls and stuffies, to war toys and videos games - it's all here! Have you ever seen a Sea Swine or Hurly Burly Helicopters or Maui Waui Fake Vomit or a Woozy Helmet? If you haven't you've got to see this show. It is a totally goofy and crazy flick that will have you laughing out...

Review of Toys (DVD)

Toy Story: One for the children.

Advantages: Good gameplay, alright graphics, fun for the kids.
Disadvantages: Unmemorable music, will become quickly boring to adults.

...Age Rating: 3+ Around £3 - £5 on Ebay.co.uk. Minimum Requirements: Double Speed (2x) CD-ROM Drive. 486DX2-66MHz or faster processor. 8MB of available RAMC12MB recommended. 10MB free disk space. Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 or later (Windows 95 compatible). 8-bit sound card. 256 colour Vesa, Pci or other local bus video. (There is no multi-player) I'm sure everyone's seen or at least heard of Disney's Toy Story movie which is about toys coming to life when the humans are not around. This is a video game following the storyline and creating fun levels to play. I'd had bought this years ago when I was younger and had promptly given up after becoming stuck on one of the earlier levels, four to six years later and a pound sign next to the title on Ciao! (It's all about the money) I'm loading up the game on my laptop...

  Play with the Toys not Groceries!

Advantages: Great value for money.
Disadvantages: Only the larger Tesco stores stock them.

...* Prices and Range * On Tesco's web site, or in smaller stores, you cannot buy the wide range of products that you would expect to find in a good toy shop. Their web site will only help you choose children?s books by age range or price, also DVDs, CDs and computer games aimed at children. We live near one of the largest Tesco stores, and went there yesterday to do our grocery shopping, but also had a look round the toy section for Christmas presents. They had the sort of presents you could find on line, as mentioned above, but also a wide variety of other toys for all ages. Because of the time of day we went, there were lots of mums with pre-school children, whose children were showing a great deal of interest in the very reasonably priced Tesco?s own brand toys. There were toys for older children in their own brand...

Tesco Toys

Advantages: prices are good, can be ordered mail order too, good choice
Disadvantages: limited maybe in smaller stores

..., switching points, crossover points etc. They also have a lovely battery operated loco that stops and starts when it hits the various points. This would give Brio and Duplo a run for it's money. The cars and vehicles that they sell are very reasonable too. They sell lots of bigger models too like AA Vans, Eddie Stobart etc. They have some good games in too, and lots of girlie bits and pieces and sparkly things that they all love. They have a lot of unisex baby toys too, and have major brand names too....

DS - Cool Toy!

Advantages: Small and Fun
Disadvantages: The Colour is white!

...What a fun little gadget. It's small but lovely. Its just what you expect from Nintendo. It's very small, but the screen is very clear to see. Its very easy to use, so it a good little tool to keep the kids quite for a little while. The DS, has been out a while now, so there are plenty of games for it, which range from around a fiver to about £25. Its also touch screen which makes this little thing a bit more entertaining. The price for these little bad boys is relatively good value for money, so if you have an extra bit of cash lying around and you feel that your a bit bored, then I would recommend that you get one of these little toys to keep you entertain for hours on end. Another good feature to the DS is that you can also use GameBoy Advance games too. They slot in at the bottom. You can get GBA games from about...
