Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals Expansion Pack (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Microsoft

This adds such a lovely twist to this game there is so much new to do wether your digging for bones (or letting your palaentologist find them and then you dig them up),or putting them all together in the extinct lab and then finnally playing a game to create them. or watching your new entertainers brake dancing on the stage in fact its so fun you find yourself with a zoo entirely made up of extinct animals! the only real problem is unless you find the dinos bones and create them free they're expensive; anklesaurus 45k t-rex 80K! this can leed to bankruptcy because of that all to common problem of it being hard to make money on zoo tycoon 2.
but apart from that there are tons of new dinosaurs from the three top ones :stegosaurus, T-Rex ... Read More:

I have tried everything including emailing the companies support desk but no reply. It is impossible to install this game on Vista Home Premium, all that happens is it hangs upon running the .exe - DO NOT BUY for Vista!!

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 (PC DVD)

from: Ubisoft

This could of just been an update, nothing new in terms of graphics so if you've being playing Cod4 Vegas looks dated even though it's newer. More of the same, nothing new, boring, can't be bothered to play it, lucky to get 2 stars.

Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania Expansion Pack (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Microsoft

October 26, 2006
My friend had first gotten, Zoo Tycoon, then, as soon as it came out, Zoo Tycoon 2. I went over to her house, and played it, at once I was captivated by it, and quickly purchased a copy. The next Christmas, I asked for the Endangered Animal's, and got it.
Soon after, I purchase, Marine Mania, and I love it! The graphics are amazing, the tricks you can teach your animals, are brilliant too!
It is a fantastic game, and a brilliant present, but, please remember, you do need the original game, Zoo Tycoon 2, to run it, so to avoid mega disappointment, purchase this before.
I hope you found this helpful!

Supreme Commander: Gold (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: THQ

November 23, 2007
My son (11) and I play Supreme Commander a lot, particularly in network mode both in cooperation and competition. This set has both the original Supreme Commander game and the new add-on Forged Alliance. As mentioned above the graphics in Supreme Commander are a bit bland as mostly you are zoomed out in low-res map mode, with your units as just flags. However in the Forged Alliance add-on, the graphics get a boot up in quality and you do see far better droid detail and explosion graphics ... unless you are zoomed out and all the units are flags again. Terrain detail looks a bit more interesting in a Luna landscape sort of way (different to Supreme Commander at least). The game menu and control layout has changed a lot, but all the old commands are in there somewhere.

ArmA: Armed Assault - Gold Edition (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: 505 Games

This game is the spiritual successor to Operation Flashpoint, just in case anyone doesn't know that. It was made by the same team, using the same engine. The graphics have been tarted up, and the gameplay refined and extended, but it will be very familiar to anyone who has played the original.

Graphically, it is hardly mind blowing. Crysis or even Far Cry are greatly superior. But its not about graphics. The audio is a little messed up, particularly using surround sound. The acting isn't too bad though. But its not about sounds. So what is it about? Gameplay, baby. And this has it in droves. Let me make this much clear: this is not pick up and play. You will die, you will miss, and you will generally suck at this for a little while. Build your skills, play for ... Read More:

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Deep Silver

November 24, 2006
This is an enjoyable, story driven wargame, it does, however, have it's problems and I'd like to highlight these first.

1. The initially released game is a bit buggy, but this was resolved by downloading the latest +300Mb patch. So apart from the normal moan about publishers releasing games before they are properly polished not a problem.

2. The 2 campaigns are a bit short, not yet tried the multiplayer.

3. There's a lot of loading time between scenarios.

But now to the good things:

1. A comptetent battle simulator, it reminded me of a spruced up 'Dark Omen', which is good. The simulator is not as good as the total war games but very enjoyable.

2. The warhammer setting, you know exactly what you are ... Read More:

Dawn of War: The Complete Collection (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: THQ

March 21, 2008
The official review is a misnomer, not all races get air power, and the air power isn't air power as it goes round mountains and flies rather badly, at odd angles and with weird graphics, like bullets flying through the plane itself.

The game has two major bugs in the latest two races from soulstorm which have yet to be patched.

Also the CD comes with some anti theft technology which conflicts with other anti theft technology like Steam which is bundled on games such as half life 2 and counterstrike, which becomes very annoying to say the least.

Otherwise a worthy collection if you haven't bought each one individually. A good way to waste an afternoon.
