Biggest Video Game Launch Ever

Modern Warfare 2 Xbox

The single-player campaign from Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most intense, white-knuckle, action-packed campaigns of any video game I have played EVER. The story is relatively good, and, except for one or two points (mentioned in cons), flows reasonably well. The missions themselves are adventures that will blow your mind.

For a kids gift that is a bit (or I should say a lot) less frenetic than this war game, you could look at the Barbie Pink Dream Townhouse for a relaxing day out with Barbie and friends. This is a great little toy that the little girls will really enjoy playing with. Or if you're looking for something for slightly older kids then you should definately consider the Radica 20Q electronic toy. It's great fun, and uncannily accurate!
