Crysis Warhead (PC DVD)

I've played this all the way through. Nowhere have I had any errors/problems. Sure, the Crysis Wars intro doesn't go away unless you delete all its files, but apart from that it's fine!

Stop whining, people!

Call of Duty 4 (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > First-person Shooter
from: Activision

November 09, 2007
Bought this game with no expectations and really enjoyed the playing experience from start to end and didnt tire at all. This game succeeds where many others fail and convert action/entertainment/suspense into a FPS experience rather than a dull shooter with cool gfx. That said the game looks sweet, especially on the sniper level.. loved that one.

The whole game tangles the plot and action scenes together well and mixes up the levels well, you are never in the same dull area but switching between two character and multiple missions. This keeps the interest and challenge level very high, however the downside is that the overall game is shorter than most titles.

There are some niggles with choice being limited with range ... Read More:

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > First-person Shooter
from: Activision

I got this agme last month after having blown all my wages on a skiing holiday. It kept me indoors for a period of time long enough to pass the days before pay day. The graphics are amazing, the turn based combat is actually more fun than I expected and the characters are quite indepth. I personally like to wind Carth up a great deal, but in a way that doesn't gain darkside points. The story is quite convincing and the twist futher on in the game is top notch. The alien worlds are nice just explore and the musical changes when you start a fight is so well done.

I would say this game is great although I am about 4 years behind and need to stay indoors this month as I will blow my wages again.

Medal of Honor: Airborne (PC DVD)

As I have read in other reviews, this game will not work in my DVD drive. I am packing quite a hefty PC, with all the latest drivers, and yet this game decides not to run. As I have mentioned, I am not alone in this. I have no idea why it won't run, the DVD drive just won't read it. Useless. It's going in the bin. I can't even be arsed to re-sell it. IF YOU BUY THIS GAME, YOU'RE TAKING A GAMBLE, NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR PC IS.

Unreal Tournament III (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > First-person Shooter
from: Midway Games Ltd

November 23, 2007
This game differs a lot from it's predecessors. As an example, a lot of the game modes from the previous Unreal Tournaments have been simply thrown out which spoils the fun a bit in my opinion. Cutting out game modes like Invasion really dissapointed me when I first ran the game. That being said, the introduction of a different plot made me interested at first. After time though, the fun seemed to wash away as playing the same games on slighty different maps killing the same people over and over gets a little repetitive. Sure. it's great fun for one-offs like if you're bored and looking to kill half an hour but I can't recommend it for constant playing. What happened to Invasion? Sheesh.

Ignore the one star review. I wish Amazon allowed a zero stars option for the review but it won't.

This really a god awful game. Its pretty but that cannot make up for the fact that it seems to have been created from a list of how not to make a computer game. I've just completed it, sludging through uninteresting and unchallenging level after repetitive level only because I paid good money for the thing and once you are personally invested in a story (even a really bad story) you tend to want to know what happens at the end*

Repetition is really the keyword to this game, its pointless grinding against random targets from start to finish. a sort of plot has been tacked on afterward but following that will only lead to an expectation of a conclusion, ... Read More:

Well for the person who said the game is a let down you are so wrong, you have many kits to choose from different teams maps etc, and for this price you cant go wrong, as for the idiots online find a well admined server and maybe apply for their clan?

I would recommend buying this game and it is worth every penny.

Thank you amazon for the great prices.

Halo: Combat Evolved (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > First-person Shooter

October 10, 2003
Halo Combat Evolved is a great improved over the Xbox original. The fact it has the multiplayer option makes a good way to practice your skills, or even just to have fun when not doin campaign mode. It also can use a joypad which means there is more than just one way to control the game. The graphics are good, and run on pretty much any graphics cards - this is a good game for lower spec laptops, and therefore I would recommend it to anyone interested!

Doom 3 (PC)

And it has taken me 4 years to get past the flaws to the fantastic game beneath, as during that time I gave up regularly. Subtract 1 star for each of the problems that could cause you an issue below.

1) Minimum spec - I have a PC that can at last run this on ultra detail without any performance issues at all and it looks amazing. My previous PC's only managed high and the frame rate in combat was poor, so I gave up. Unless you have a machine that can handle it in ultra (dual core, powerful graphics card), the way it should be seen, wait until you do as the frame rate drop when you are being attacked can be appalling.

2) It's too dark - yes, I know it's meant to be that way, but not being able to see anything or what is attacking you isn't fun and just ends up ... Read More:

Unreal Tournament 2004 (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > First-person Shooter
from: Atari

Just simply an awesome game. I mean, unreal 2003 was good to begin with, so when this came out, my jaw literally dropped. For one thing, they brought back the brilliant ASSULT, so we can all kill eachother while killing objectives as well. second was the ONSLAUGHT mode, and the vehicles dreamed up are simply the best I have seen in a long time. And if that wasn't enough, all you need to do is pick up an old pc gamer dvd or go online for a wealth of modifications. in the time I had this game i never got bored. Marvellous.
