Who wouldn't want to rule their own country? A nation's resources at your disposal, an army at your beck and call, and a world around you ripe for domination. Okay, that may be a slightly maniacal take on the details of governing a nation state but as it's the situation presented to us in Supreme...

After seeing what i thought to be a great third movie in the toy story trilogy, i went to hmv to get myself a new game for my ps3. One thing immediately caught my eye. Toy story 3! After trying out the toy box mode on the ps3 setup that you can find in hmv, i found myself drawn to it.

Toy box mode; Great story mode experiance; playable zurg; collectables

A bit too simple perhaps?; Story telling; mr and mrs potatohead not in it

Confident platforming; Pixar eye-candy; Toy Box mode is really fun

"Shake to attack" command needs to die; Repetitive collect 'em all missions; Checkpoints can throw you back a long way

Toy Story 3: The Video Game features a story mode that follows the Toy Story 3 film adventures in which Buzz, Woody and friends grapple with their uncertain future as Andy prepares to depart for college, as well as a Toy Box mode allowing fans to create their own unique story.

So the film was great, much to the relief of us pessimistic types; but perhaps even better news is that the Toy Story 3 videogame isn't half bad either. For the most part eschewing the standard money-maker action template and managing to capitalise on elements that make the franchise so beloved in...

In a recent review of mine, I made a statement that goes as follows: a licensed game is only good if it does not try to re-enact a movie scene by scene, but rather uses the license for a completely standalone game.
