Reviews

Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

The second Indiana Jones adventure expands and builds upon the previous, making for the best game yet in the Lego series.
Need for Speed: Nitro

Need for Speed: Nitro gets off to a fast start, but lacks enough variety to make it into the winner's circle.
Colin McRae: DiRT 2

If you have any interest whatsoever in off-road racing you'd do well to take this beautiful and thrilling game for a spin.
Cars Race-O-Rama

Cars Race-O-Rama is a terribly generic racer aimed at the younger crowd. It's neither great nor awful, just absolutely middle-of-the-road gaming.
Lego Rock Band

This charming rhythm game is especially good for first-timers, but it's a little light on content.
Zubo (DS)

If you love Pokemon but you want a change of scene, Zubo is an excellent alternative.
Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

After a brief demo it's clear that Lego Indy 2 will pick up where its smash-hit predecessor left off, with improved gameplay and the Crystal Skull adventure to dive into.

While the EZ Type Keyboard is designed to be for children over three years of age, there is no doubt that it can easily elicit squeals of delight from those who are still children at heart.
