Firstly, the graphics are stunning. Amazing attention to detail and the gameplay is pretty damn good too.

Well worth the £35 I payed because both games are brilliant

Trust Vibration Feedback Steering Wheel GM -3400 (PC/PS2)

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


Isn't just good for the price, is good full stop. Can set controls and sensitivity just in case a game has bad options for those (NFS Pro Street for example assigns R1 and R2 instead of R2 and L2 to changing gear and can't be changed). Whole package works wonders though does take a little getting used to as it's biggest flaw is that there is a slight dead spot in the middle but is easy to get used to and is probably the case in about half of wheels so can't ask for more from it. Brilliant.

Well what can I say, except that it's all been done before but better. I am probably missing the point as my internet connection at home is not working, and this is probably a lot of fun on line. However as a single player experience it's actually rather dull.

Build your base collect resources, build an army, build sheilds, attack in force blah blah blah. Yawn Yawn. Defeat the occasional boss.

I'm not even sure it's worth three stars.

Fable: The Lost Chapters (PC CD)

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

September 23, 2005
Despite this game now being old, every PC owner should play this game pure and simple.

Created by well-known Games designer Peter Molyneux, head of Lionhead studios, famous for other innovative titles such as Black and White, or The movies.

Now for those of you that don't know, Molyneux said some pretty drastic things during press conferences. He claimed plants would be growing I real time that there would be rival NPCS to name a few, the games sales suffered greatly due to this. But of course, on the old Xbox his was just a dram, an unrealistic goal. Fable for the PC is a port, from the console, so obviously it going to have the same flaws.

The graphics are stunning, I'm going to say that right away, I had to buy a new graphics ... Read More:

AoE has a sound pedigree & the Conquerors' Expansion is the icing on the cake.
The facility to customise your own camaigns is irresistible & enthralling.
It has excellent graphics & a number of levels on which to play helps prevent early frustration & encourages learning.
This is ideal for both the seasoned game campaigner or the absolute beginner.
Hours of endless escapism - fabulous!

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.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight (PC CD)

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

This is a serious simulator. I've used the whole history of MS Flight Simulators and each gets better. I've used this one for over 3 years now and still don't tire of it. Limitations yes - the principal one being that you're trying to fly an aircraft through a single window. Realistic yes - though I have to say that flying a real light aircraft in good conditions is actually easier than flying this sim! Add ons available - limitless including many free options. With full scenery optional extras (third party) you can fly over and recognise your own house. Alternatively you can plan and fly around the world in real time and weather. Up to you.

If you are already a real world pilot (as I am) you can use this to brush up on your nav skills. Navaid frequencies are real world and you ... Read More:

Guild Wars: Eye of the North (PC DVD)

I have been playing GW for over 2yrs now, i have all campaigns and this expansion, with all of them complete on hard mode. This expansion is really good, but just doesnt have that same feeling as the others...Like on nightfall going though the campaign, struggling and then you make it and feel like you have really achieved something. This doesnt feel the same at all, because it is so short. I would say that factions is the best still, and that GW is still the best online MMORPG
