Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood (PC DVD)

from: Focus Multimedia Ltd

never write reviews on products I buy over the interweb but this game is GREAT!!!! I played Road to Hill 30 and was gripped by the first few levels, without the intros in the game it wouldnt have the same effect,

The gameplay is great leading yet another bad ass squad through battle runied Normany during WWII, with enemies that are more intellgent it's harder than the 1st game!! Use as mush cover as possilbe when need be and flank when you can.

Intense gameplay and amazing grpahics this is a deffinate must have if you want to know the movements of the rest of Bakers Squad!!! It's a complete follow on it links to WWII extremelly well, just wait till Hells Highway is out, thats going to be even better!!

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!

Colin McRae: DiRT (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Codemasters Limited

June 15, 2007
GRAPHICS:
Ok, I had read all the reviews about needing a very high spec pc and although my pc isn't super duper I thought it would probably work ok like all my other high spec games. I bought my pc about 2 years ago, then it was very good, (7600gs 256mb, 500gb sata, 2gb ram, pentium 2 core duo). Now that is quite good I think. However at 1240 by 1024 at the lowest detail settings it still only gave about 4fps with a steering lag of about 1.5 seconds (my formula force ex steering wheel works perfectly with other games) i decided to turn the graphics down a notch or two. I ended up at the lowest possible setting, still with a notisable steering lag! Even at the lowest setting it still looks sort of ok, but not great at all.
VERY DISSAPIONTED

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

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games


Got this wheel because it is cheap, and after 8 months of use it has served me well. Responsive control, professional build and great looking to boot. If you want a steering wheel for your racing games and can't afford the more 'pro' wheels, I'd highly recommend this.

Negatives: After many months of heavy use, the wheel itself will begin to make a few creaking sounds. The accelerator pedal (after constant hammering) will also lose a little bit of power, but after this much use you will probably be in the mood for an upgrade (because of the substantial extra dimension this wheel has added to my games I will be getting the Logitech G25). The lack of force feedback also makes driving sims a little tricky, but overall a great entry level wheel and for ... Read More:

Freelancer (PC CD)

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

Here's a game that provides excellent gameplay and fun for hours. Im not going to cover the other reviews,more a take on other things, less mentioned.

It seems that to play a game nowadays, you must install the latest uber cpu and graphics card, this is not the case with FL. The beauty of FL is its able pack a huge punch and still be visually exciting and vibrant with old spec pc's. You can tell they squeezed every ounce on the limited specs thay had to deal with. The audio with doppeler effects, makes you feel your in space, with audio becoming more clear as they approach and dropping off at distance. Play this games with 5.1 headphones/speakers and you will be totally emersed within a few minutes. Ambient music is stunning and not annoying when repetitive. ... Read More:

Anno 1701 (PC DVD)

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

November 02, 2006
Good fun. I'll start right off with complaints. 1) Run low on chocolate and the townfolk R A M P A G E through the town starting fires and,,,the money goes away and it can take quite a while before the economy stabilizes enough to get going again. 2) A lot of micromanaging needed. Too much really. 3) The animations- The ships SNAP around too much. The damage by shot fire is ghostly and unrealistic (when attacking ships and other targets)
The good!! GREAT imersion and all to all economic action. The graphics are a little flashy, but good enough. The camera use is very good. You can really look around pretty good. A lot of options regarding play style.

FS Global 2008 Add-On for FS 2004/FSX (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Flight 1

May 18, 2007
This is a great piece of software for both FS9 and FSX alike. Installation took about as long as it takes to install FSX, so I knew I was in for massive improvements! By adding 13GB of compressed data into the scenery library, you are literally revamping every inch of the flight sim world, noticable at least slightly anywhere around the globe.

After loading up the flight, I immidiately visited destinations such as Mont Blanc and Everest; even Sheffield resembled vagely its real-life counterpart with the odd hill here and there! To add to the already delightful notion of a 'new world', FS Global also increases the resolution of the textures in places where geographical land marks have really 'risen from the ground'.

I suppose the bonus of this add ... Read More:
