“A Warm Story” The reader reads this Mercer Mayer classic at a very slow pace. There are some cute surprises as the child clicks on parts of the drawings (mailbox opens, birds flutter etc.) and there is a limited sand castle building component among the choices, but I found the CD to be [...]
Worldwide Soccer Manager 2008
“Thoroughly engrossing” This game is something of an improvement over the previous version. At any rate, it is the kind of simulation that I find thoroughly engrossing. While not a lifelong fan of football (soccer) my Navy service in Scotland got me very interested in the game. This game includes tactical [...]
Microsoft Works Suite 2002 [OLD VERSION]
“Great bang for the buck; don’t believe the side of the box” The side of this box has caused me much confusion. It says–as does Microsoft’s own product page–that this is an UPGRADE, and that you must have a previous copy of Works or Word to run it. Not true. It runs fine as [...]
World Class Poker With Tj Cloutier (PC & Mac)
“One of the best, but still flawed.” Disclaimer. My experience is based on 5 card draw only, as that’s what I normaly play.
The Pros – I’ve tried a lot of PC poker games and this is by far one of the best. Loads up quick, allows windowed mode, and the graphics are [...]
Griffin Technology PowerMate 1040-PMT USB Multimedia Controller and Input Device (Aluminum, PC/Mac)
“Broke after 11 months; replacement broken too” The hardware went bad after 11 months (the LED failed). Got a replacement under warranty. Either the replacement hardware is broken, or the PowerMate’s lame driver software for Mac is to blame. In any case, the PowerMate is in the trash, and Griffin is off my list [...]
Return to Krondor
“There’s Better Out There” I was expecting so much more from this game. I Betrayal at Antara was so much better. I bought RTK anticipating an even better experience. At first, I was pleased. The Gfx and Sfx are good. Moving about gets frustrating though since the controls [...]
Microsoft Word 2007
“Horrible Leap Backward” Microsoft has taken a gigantic leap backward with Word 2007. The interface is horrible…virtually unusable. Everything takes forever to find now. The simplest commands are no longer located in any logical place. I spend 75% of my time hunting for stuff that used to be easily and predictably placed in the [...]
Disney’s the Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
“pathetic don’t buy it “ Ifound the game so pathetic i can’t even describe it.I played it for one minute and I fell asleep.
Do something actualy worth your time and don’t waste your life. Get Age of Empires III
HGTV Home Design & Remodeling Suite
“Use Your Own Photos!” Pros: It is neat to see your own photos used, it helped me come up with alternate ideas that I never would have thought of on my own, it was not as difficult to use as I had feared
Cons: It does require that you take the time to learn the [...]
Neverwinter Nights
“One of the worst games I’ve ever played. “ I don’t see how anyone could possibly like this game. I couldn’t get into it after several tries. The game play is the worst thing about it, the perspective is awful, movement sucks, one fight can last a very long time, even it’s foundation is [...]
American Conquest
“Great Game A little Buggy” When I bought this game i loved it my computer fit the profile perfectely but when i was playing the game would freeze up it froze up and the computer froze up all the time.However it could of been the drivers in my computer but im not sure it [...]
Star Trek: Starfleet Command 2 Expansion – Orion Pirates
“I still play this” I love this game and it has gone on every PC I’ve upgraded to. (It works fine on 2k & XP.)
However, if you are looking for a flight sim this will not be for you as the “feel” models more on old ships-of-the-line that fired then spent some time maneuvering [...]
Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack
“Movie Makeing Fun” I purchased this item to work on my own movies and because it has more transitions and events that you can chose from. It took me a bit to get the hang of it but Once I used the tour guide it was easy to continue on my own. Cool software [...]
Aura: Fate of the Ages
“should you have to purchase a book to make it work?” Despite the rather weak character presentation, I really enjoyed the game’s puzzles and the scenery of it until nothing I could do would advance it. I checked a hint site and two downright walkthroughs and found I had done everything I was supposed [...]
Return To Castle Wolfenstein Game Of The Year Edition
“Awsome” Felt like I was in the 3rd Reich! Awsome game with chilling sounds and cool graphics.
PalmOne P10914U Games Essentials Card
“A great game collection for an affordable price” I bought this card mainly for SimCity on my Zire 71. First of all, SimCity works surprisingly well, including the animations, just like the original version on my old Mac. And the full manual is downloadable for free from the developers.
My children have played the other [...]
MVP Baseball 2005
“Not a very good game.” There is exellent graphics, and the seasons and “Make your own ballpark” is awesome, but the controls are impossible to master. I suggest doing a season, and managing/simming the games.
Aliens Versus Predator Gold
“Terror Game: Looking Through Both Sides” Aliens vs. Predator, a game based from two different Sci-Fi movies, is a great strategical/first-person shooter game that combines a great mixture of action, terror, suspense, and gore. The game isn’t simply between aliens and predators, but also with the added human character to add a different side [...]
Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed Expansion Pack
“Do NOT buy this expansion.” This expansion is given as a FREE download to ALL players, now. Do not pay for this expansion.
