Now before i start i must say that downloadable games aren't normally my thing, i like a disc, with a book of instructions and artwork and the details of who did what, so buying 2 games that are purely downloaded was a first...

beyond that i apologise if you are related to Jeremy Clarkson and send out a massive thank you to you if you fight for our freedom in our armies, i could not do it myself.

TRASH PANIC:
very addictive and hugely messy it is a game that reminds me of Tetris but involving ever largening bins that you put rubbish in. Starting in an office desk bin and gradually becoming some sort of alien designed size of africa bin it's an amazing idea with alot of Eco awareness involved.

Although there is an emphasis on being ECO the game just makes me feel like smashing up the neighbours outdoor bins whenever i walk past them because it's so difficult to be ECO. Obviously i don't as I'd get arrested and that wouldn't help my rather tiny amount of gameplay time as it is!

It's a great game in the gameplay department, throwing things in an almost "I'm Al Gore saving world" type of a way which gains you good points for an ECO friendly attitude and bad points for a more "I'm Jeremy Clarkson an hate Polar bears" attitude. I don't seem to be able to be ECO friendly not matter how hard i try, it's like reality, you'd love to run the house off of solar panels and wind turbines but the planning costs more than the job of fitting it!

So to conclude, it's a fantastically addictive game in the same way that everytime i give up smoking i end up smoking more the next time i get a bit drunk at the pub! No matter how much i hate the game and how much i want to never play it again, i find the visuals and premiss behind the whole thing too addictive and keep going back...

I put this game in the same shrouded confused dark corner of my brain that i would put any images from a news report of a love child between Al Gore an Jermey Clarkson into, the area that not wanting to know to kind of being a bit intrigued! sick and twisted i know, but it's the only explanation i give.

I give it 5 out of 10 as i really don't know if i like it or not!

RAGDOLL KUNG FU:
It's an amazingly funny game full of great ideas and concepts, beautifully designed and graphically entertaining without being an over the top realistically obscene mess.

I like games to be games, fun, away from reality within impossible situations, a way of calming down after work to relax. If i wanted to be in a real life war situation I would have joined my cousin in the army, but i don't because I'm a coward with no skills outside of the arts, so that's why i let those brave soldiers do what they do an I avoid games that glorify the horrible things in war I also can't drive so racing games that aren't in space or in the future are not my thing...

This ragdoll kung fu is my sort of game basically, fighting in a world of cartoon non-reality styled comedy. The characters are amusing, editable and cute. I have played this with many friends much like i have with little big planet and watched grown men giggle like school girls and grown women become angered wolverines just through the annoying bouncey and comical way the game purposely pushes you to get better...

it's no mortal kombat or tekken but it is a another great game by those mad genius lot who made Little Big Planet, so to conclude I rather like it and find myself (due to a mate accidently wiping my hard drive) happily playing it again and again...

the trophies can be difficult but they ain't impossible, I give it a steady and fun 8 out of 10.
