 The perfect game for Friends Addicts!, 2008-09-11
I have been a fan of Friends ever since it started, and like nothing better than watching the re-runs whenever I happen to catch them on TV! When someone gave me this game for a birthday present, I was really pleased.
You get to choose from Friends related items as your playing piece, amongst them a coffee cup, a Laz-E-Boy chair and the frame found on Monica's door around the peephole (my piece of choice)! As with the normal Scene It, you can play a short round or a longer game, and questions vary from guessing the next line to be said (this is usually multiple choice), working out anagrams of guest stars, answering a question from a crossword, and many other questions from the 10 series. If I had my way, I would get rid of the multiple choice options (sometimes this makes it too easy), and it's also important that you have at least one other Friends addict to play against, otherwise it's not much fun!
A very entertaining game for fans of the show.

Find out just which car is the Coolest, and which car is like a sock full of walnuts with Top Gear Cool Cars Top Trumps - coming at you at 90 miles an hour! Crammed with more facts and stats than you can fit in a people carrier, the pack has been written and developed with the aid of the Top Gear Magazine team and just as you'd expect from the Top Gear crew, it's a little tongue in cheek, a little irreverent, but fast and furious nonetheless. 6 Years +
WAKE UP CATMANDOO!!!!, 2007-11-26
I read the review from Catmandoo and to say I was not happy was a under statement. I do not believe that anybody who is walking today has not played or heard of Top Trumps. This game has been around for donkeys years why write a review and slag the product off when you apparantly know nothing about it. If you haven't played or heard of Top Trumps just ask any kids that live down your street they will put you right.

Because of small parts, not suitable for children under the age of 3 years
Both of mine loved it, 2007-10-03
My 1 year old and my three year old both love this game. Although you have to hold it steady for them at times, they really do get a lot of fun out of it.

The classic mathematical puzzle of this planet., 2008-11-28
Rubik's Cube came out around 1980, about 30 years ago.
People were far more intelligent back then.
There is very little point anyone today bothering with a Rubik's Cube. Just forget it and get back to reality TV and txtng each other.
For people over 40: The physical mechanism of these 2000 era cubes is probably not as good as the old ones: at any rate, they are a little different. Obviously the platonic cube is unchanged.
There are now various idiotic cubes with flashing lights, etc - suitable for Today's People.

Two fun word games in one! Now children can enjoy the fun and challenge of Scrabble at their own level. Level 1 - Younger children start by linking letters on the board. Colourful pictures help turn the letters into words. Complete a word and collect a counter. Level 2 - Flip the board over, and older children can enjoy making words all by themselves. In this simplified SCRABBLE game children cross words and try to reach the coloured squares. They pick a matching colour counter and hope for a high score.
Great Game for my 4 year old!, 2007-03-09
This version of scrabble is fantastic. My 4 year old loves it and it's a great way of teaching children to read and write, but in a fun way.
Highly recommend!

My son is 5 and although he finds the jigsaw challenging he loves every second he spends doing it plus it is one of his favourite things in the world at the moment. I think this item is well worth the money.

Twister is a very simple game that can become very complicated as the players can easily get tied up in knots. The mat that forms the playing surf ace is decorated with six circles each of red, yellow, green and blue. The mat is durable, waterproof with a wipe-clean surface but it can also be a little slippery so care must be taken. The spinner arrow is easy to assemble and to use. An appointed person spins the spinner and calls out instructions for the players to follow, such as: "left hand blue, right foot red". The players follow the directions, moving their hands and feet to the relevant circles and try not to fall over--a knee or an elbow on the ground and they're out. For young children the challenge is not only not to fall over but also to remember left from right and colour recognition. As well as the perfect ice-breaker for children's parties, Twister is also very popular with adults as the challenge to reach all the circles and remain upright becomes harder the less supple you are (or the more you've had to drink...) This is a game to suit all ages--children with adults, children with children or adults with adults. Whichever the combination the end result will be plenty of family fun. Six years up, two or more players. --Phillippa Reece
Silly fun for everyone! (Over 2ft 6in), 2006-03-17
Ok, If you've been on Mars for the last few decades Twister is the game where have a large plastic sheet with big coloured dots on it and a board with a spinny pointy thing. Realistically you need at least three people to play, but you can just about manage with two. Especially if one is a contortionist!Spread the sheet on the floor and give the board to the third player. He spins the arm which dictates which limb the other players have to place on which coloured dot. Easy-peasy. Until about the third move. We have nine kids. We have had Twister for about 16 years. We have had, what must add up to, months of enormous and ridiculous fun with it. It just is one of the simplest and most fun games on the market. The other stuff: Well, don't pay too much attention to the blurb. It has absolutly no educational value at all. Any child that doesn't know it's left from right and it's colours is almost certainly too short to play - though that shouldn't stop them from trying. And anyway, in the middle of the chaos that is Twister, they are not going to have time to worry about it. In this house when short people play they always end up getting lots of help, and cheating is standard. I've given it 2 stars anyway, because it seems to be a contemporary fixation that everything must be educational. My only complaint is on the durability side. The 'arm' comes off the board too easily. In 16 years we've had three Twisters.Then again, given the amount of use they've had maybe that's not such bad going.

Great for Pokemon fans , 2008-09-26
This was bought for our 7 yr old Pokemon fan. We own the MB Games Guess Who along with their Disney version, both loved by our children. However, if you think this will be the same build quality as the MB versions, think again. Smaller, lighter and more flimsy, this is definitely a cheaper feeling and looking product.
Saying that, seeing as MB Games do not make a Guess Who Pokemon version, this "Guess That" game had to do. It is colourful, it uses roughly the same "Guess Who" formula for game play with a little added complexity and is a lot of fun. Just wish the build quality was higher (seeing as it is the slightly more expensive than Guess Who!)

Get outta my mind!, 2008-07-28
...says a bloke on the current 20Q TV advert. And yes, it appears for most of the time this little round gadget is reading my mind, as long as I'm thinking simple thoughts...
Okay, this little beastie tries to guess what someone is thinking about by asking a series of questions that can be answered by a simple yes/no/maybe. After 20 questions it tries to guess what you thought of with varying degrees of success. For example, think of cola and it might guess a can or a bottle; which to be honest isn't too far from the truth.
Personally, I think it's one of those "coffee table" objects; something that would sit on a table and maybe once in a while you'll try it out. Mind you, the expressions on people's faces when it guesses correctly is priceless!
