Spore (Mac/PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Strategy and Simulation
from: Electronic Arts

This game is limited to 3 activations. An activation is used when you install or upgrade your computer. Once all the activations are used up, the game stops working!

The DRM used by the game, SecuROM, is very invasive and harvests information about your computer and monitors / disrupts other legitimate applications that it deems may be used for piracy. This is an incredulous state of affairs and if piracy is a problem for the industry, the industry should prosecute the pirates and not invade the customers own computer with spyware to monitor them. It's way too draconian.

Even though my sims people in my game have extremely busy lives I wanted this pack oh so much, not just because I have all the Sims games anyways but cos of all the fun things my simmies can do, so at the weekends they do all their fun and family types things. But with this packs diversity you can also use it in a different way for exanple a soccer mom, could watch her kids play soccer, like they do at school events, and if you have Open for Business you can have a clothes shop where the clothes are made on the sewing machine then sold, also pottery shop, a garage (home business) to do up scrap cars and sell them on to buyers. I love this game so very much and play it very often if you are a sims fan i am sure you will love it too, taking into consideration ... Read More:

The Sims 2: Seasons Expansion Pack (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Strategy and Simulation
from: Electronic Arts

I love Sims, always have, and was really pleased when I found that they were incorporating weather into it at last!

Weather was initially going to be in the base game, but due to a bug Maxis had to take it out. Upon learning this I found it a little annoying that you have to pay for a feature that should have been in the game in the first place, however, once you start playing you totally get over that because of all the other brilliant features this game holds.

You (obviously) have seasons. The effects are bit draining on your PC so before buying you should definitely make sure it can handle the game, but they are worth it because they are so good, and nicely realistic.

You also have season-appropriate activities, such ... Read More:

The Sims 2: Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff (PC CD)

I love the Sims and play the game a lot. I was really looking forward to sprucing up my kitchens and baths with a makeover, sadly this is not what I got.

Very unimganative designs and boring sets, I was surprised it felt a lot less stuff than say the H&M fashion pack.

I wouldn't unload it from my game but I don't think I'll be so excited next time

The Sims 2 Pets is an excellent game. You can create your very own cats and dogs to live with your sims - it's brilliant.

Command & Conquer: Kane's Wrath (PC DVD)

Now I really enjoyed this game but it seems others have a different view so ok lets try to clear things up.

Step 1
A) If you did not enjoy this game or feel you may not enjoy this game then do not continue - this is not for you
B) If you enjoyed the story of the Tiberium Saga so far and wish to learn more about the game and its story then move to Step 2

Step 2
Ok good. Basiclly this game is a full NOD campaign which is hinted by the games title >_> for those not guessing already!
It takes places BEFORE tiberium wars (number 3) then sets itself during 3 and then AFTER 3 (setting itself for number 4)
I wont spoil it for you but saying any of the story but its GOOD!!
I really enjoyed the Tiberium Saga so far and to be honest ... Read More:

The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion Pack (PC CD)

I think it's fair to say that Maxis have effectively bled the Sims 2 series dry, making a LOT of money from it. In this expansion, I believe you actually get something new.

Creating a business is probably the most rewarding experience I've ever had on the sims, and the most challenging. From managing your employees, to making sure you're not out of stock, things can get a little stressful but that didn't stop me from making a three storied furniture store!

This game is undoubtabley a challenge, even more so to the regular Sim fan. I'd only get this if you want a completely new Sims experience and are up for figuring out the kinks. Best expansion to date for the series.
