Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (PC DVD)

A great all round game and one for all CnC fans.

What i liked most was the incremental difficulty of each mission. Trust me that in later missions you will be forced to exercise the grey matter in order to win, especially when fighting as the alien. Which brings me onto my next point, excellent value for money. There were quite a lot of missions and all posed a different challenge. Trust me its a must have for the CnC fan.

Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne Expansion Pack (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Blizzard Entertainment

September 02, 2005
It is Time - without further haste I beseech you, take up Arthas' continuing journey into madness (as well as other journeys), lest we all be left in the land of unfinished plots.

Warcraft III: Frozen Throne opens with another of those exquisite cinematics that Blizzard have become renowned for in their Warcraft series. Thus having set the scene, you take control of the Warden, a new night elf hero (there's one new hero for each race). The plot then takes you through both human and undead campaigns.

A reworked engine from Blizzard for crafting a more RPG guided game has allowed the Orcs their own story line that turns equally dark. The first episode comes with Frozen Throne - two subsequent episodes will become available ... Read More:

I very much liked this game. His predecessors of the Quake series, were, in my eyes, extremely bad, but this game I really liked. I've already played for over 350 hours, and now it is getting a bit boring, because there are only 12 maps, that's why the fun doesn't get 5 stars. But it is a good game apart from that.

+
Good multiplayer gameplay
Easy to understand interface
Fun to play with the objectives you got to complete
Cheap

+/-
Graphics are good, but not exactly brilliant

-
Not enough maps
There should be more maps
The AI is really stupid (but ey, it's a multiplayer game)

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.

For those of you who played NWN 1 and expected some development, look no further - it never happened. Playing this was like playing the last one with nothing new. Boring, glitchy and uninspiring. While Morrowind, Oblivion and The Witcher clean up, this game never left the pits.

THIS GAME WON'T PLAY PROPERLY ON SIS INTERGRATED GRAFIX CARD.

You get nasty flashing walls, and rubbish grafix effects.

Because it's integrated into the motherboard. You can't upgrade the grafix

SO DONT BE FOOLED.

By the hype that is Laptop friendly.

It is not to all Laptops!

I have a brand new laptop. I wasn't aware it had a ridiculuos Graphics card inside. If I did, I would of bought a much better Laptop.

What makes me angry as this is marketed as laptop friendly.

I thought that that the games, stating Laptop Friendly would play on my Laptop.. It's 2gb memory, 120gb hard drive, dual core processor.

No problems?

Yep.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - Sith Lords (PC)

February 11, 2005
I've just played through this on the pc having previously played it on the Xbox.

This game was sadly rushed to release and it shows but only towards the very end of the game (around the 40 hour mark). The first 35 hours (give or take) are absolutely fantastic with one of the best opening levels I've played, which lasts about two hours. True, the story isn't quite as compelling as KOTOR but what the game may lack in comparison to Biowork's effort, Obsidian have refined the engine somewhat. The best new addtion is the ability to breakdown items and create your own weapons/armour/lightsaber modifications. Therefore rather than having to buy armour upgrades you can make them yourself. This does mean that gaining money becomes less of an issue, but if you're ... Read More:

Just to let people know, this package *does* include the Crossfire Wireless Receiver for Windows.
Hopefully this will help people to avoid making the same mistake I did and end up ordering one separately.

This game is utter rubbish. Where the hell did they get the idea to change the way the graphics worked? Graphics are rubbish, gameplay is non existant. Do not buy this game
