DINER DASH 2
 Review by Beth aged 9:
This is a great game where you get to run and serve in restaurants and have to improve them to gain access to new bits and fun things to do. Its hard as you have to run it like a real restaurant bt great once you understand what you need to do.

BRATZ ROCK ANGELZ & BABYZ
 Review by Beth aged 9:
This is so cool and a superb game, my friends are jealous and love playing it when they come over. My favourite is Rock Angels but Babyz is fine to play to. There are loads of things to go and solve that will keep you entertained for hours.

 Review by Katie aged 6:-
This is a brilliant game and so funny. I love all the characters and the activities are really simple to understand and play. I could play for hours if my parents would let me. Think everyone should have a copy.

Nemo's Underwater World of Fun – DVD-Rom (For PC)
 A great game for all children who love the film, both my 6 and 8 year old girls loved the adventures and challenges of this game.
You work your way through different levels helping Nemo learn to swim, finding his friends along the way and solving puzzles and challenges at the same time.
This is another good game to boost creativity, thinking power and problem solving whilst having fun – so the children don’t realise they are being educated at the same time.

Noddy and the Toyland Fair – DVD-Rom (For PC)
 This is a great game for younger children, especially if they like the TV programme. Children get the chance to take Noddy on an adventure around the town and look for loads of items. This game helps children learn without them realising it is educational.
There are two levels to the game so it is great for older ones as well. One of the best features for a parent is that the voices are as the TV programme which helps children relate to the game.
Hours of fun for the younger ones; and fun for parents too!

Cars – DVD-Rom (For PC)
 For all the children who loved the film will love this game; they get the chance to be Lightning McQueen and race round tracks, roads, the town and do all the things they would love. You can also race with your friends at the same time, and if you don’t fancy being Lightning McQueen you can choose from 10 characters.
It kept my children happy for hours, but the one thing I would recommend is that your PC does need a good quality video card to ensure the game runs smoothly. Overall this is a great game for children used to playing games on their PC.

Casper the Magical Toy Store (For PC)
 This game is aimed at children 4 -6, but older children also enjoy the simplicity and fun way they have to complete the tasks but also means they can help the younger ones solve the problems posed.
It encourages children to work together to solve the different levels, and unlock sections that are hidden unless completed properly. The games help children learn new things, how to operate the computer, promotes independent play and to improve their listening and concentration.
Both my children loved this game, more so because it is led by Casper the friendly ghost who guides you round the various levels and helps you out.

Lego Island II (For Playstation 2)
 What do the residents of Lego Island fear most? Deconstruction. The mischievous Brickster has broken out of the town jail and turned loose his army of Brickster Bots to take apart the island brick by little plastic brick.
Skateboarding pizza delivery boy Pepper is the island's best hope against this threat, and players will take him through 18 levels based on popular Lego play themes, such as Adventurers, Castle and Lego City.
Players will control different conveyances around the island, like blasting off in a space shuttle and riding on the back of a Pterodactyl, from a first-person perspective. Objectives within the levels include deep-sea-diving for bricks, jousting with the Dark Knight, snake shooting, matching mummies in ancient Egypt, and target parachuting. Friendly Lego figurines are always close by and willing to offer some observations.
