This game, like many, has both positive and negative aspects. Once again the subtle combat system is both fun and a challenge - those who claim it is mere button-mashing are missing the finer points of combat, and should look again at how they play. Yes, this method will get you by, but to become a great fighter you have to master the art of blocking, dodging and grappling, as well as hitting your opponents in the face with a baseball bat. The sheer range of characters will mean there is a fighter to suit anyone, from the pace of Sonic to the awkwardness of Olimar and Game and Watch, though yet again the Nintendo mascots Mario and Luigi are grossly overpowered. With a group of friends Smash Bros provides an unrivaled multiplayer experience. ... Read More:

2.Wii Fit (Wii) from: Nintendo

Video Games : Wii Fit (Wii)
This is a fantastic games idea that is really let down by the fact that it uses BMI to work out what fitness level you are at. This is not accurate on Children and it promptly told my 10 year old daughter that she was obese!! - Not the type of message that young impressionable girls (and boys for that matter) should be getting. (Just for the record, my daughter isn't even slightly overweight for her height)

It is a real shame that it has no way of changing the phrasing for people under a certain age, as after all the whole point of this game is to encourage people who need it to exercise. In my opinion it spoils what could be a fantastic game.

Let's compare the Wii to games on other next gen consoles first. Now don't get me wrong, GTA-SA (not seen GTA 4 yet), the Halo and Half Life series, to name but a few, are some of the finest games ever made. But you can't have a QUICK game of any of them because each stage of the campaign might take up to an hour to complete. Playing them requires a dogged mindset, which can feel like having to tackle a sinkful of dishes when you only want a clean cup for a quick brew. A lot of modern games have the depth, complexity and epic scope of Wagner's Ring Cycle, but there are times when all you want is a three-minute pop song. You get the picture. The Wii fills this forgotten gap in the market admirably.

The ethos of old-skool ... Read More:

great game, the daily training is fun, brain age check is hilarious especially after working a nightshift, think i might be obsessed with playing it daily though.

this game motivates you, makes doing tasks fun and if your friends have it makes for funny conversation.

this game wont make you smarter, it will make you think faster.

Used Price: £30.24

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a brilliantly engineered and very engaging game, but only if played in the right way.

Much like Splinter Cell or Hitman the game revolves around stealth and while it is very tempting to go on a rampage after discovery by an enemy if you do so the fun of the game quickly evaporates, while it is possible to bring your large arsenal of weaponry to bear on the enemy the game becomes incredibly unrealistic and faults in the enemy AI begin to show through. That's not to say you can't take the odd sniper shot at an enemy sentry to ease your way through but I strongly discourage playing this game simply as a shoot em up.

The cut scenes in the game are, as noted before, verging on the ridiculous. I especially ... Read More:

I played this for the first time last night. I played with a friend and we had a go at each of the games. It was great!! There is a good variety, the graphics are fun and bright and the controls are easy to pick up.

I bought this game because of the cricket element, and although not test cricket by any stretch the swings of the wii remote for bowling and batting have been well thought out.

The other games are good too... the boules was particularly popular!

This game is great value for money at under £13 and is a good addition to your collection.
