Oblivion: Shivering Isles (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Take 2 Interactive

March 30, 2007
In the land of Cyrodil I found a new Aelied ruin near port town of Anvil it looked like a huge broken, white wedding cake with a great statue in the centre. I tried to enter past the first room that had two sacrificial alters, with two Deadra guardians but was unable. A carved block with a crystaline centre is unmovable. After wracking my brains and examining everything, even shooting at the chandaliers, I decided to give in gracefully and see what I could turn up by gathering information.

Which led me, in a roundabout way, to find a new portal had opened off the coast of Bravil. A portal to the Shivering Isles. I went through it and within a few days had:

Seen a room turn into butterflies.

Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne Expansion Pack (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
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 online ... Read More:

Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties Expansion (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Microsoft

November 02, 2007
Age of Empires was one of my favourite games as a child. I remember having a lot of fun playing it about 9 or 10 years ago. When AOE III was released I was slightly disappointed with it, as it seemed to be all style and very little content.

Now that I have a new PC, and the Asian Dynasties and Warchief expansions installed, the game finally feels complete. The Original AOE III felt a little dull as it only allowed you to control the European superpowers in the Americas. The Warchief's did add a little spice by allowing you to play as the Native Americans, but it still felt a little flat. Asian Dynasties on the other hand is like a breath of fresh air, bringing some much needed variety to the gamer's plate.

This game adds three ... Read More:

Dawn of War: Anthology (PC DVD)

November 02, 2006
Having been a fan of RTS for a long time I always had the same frustrations of either campaigns that were too easy or gameplay that followed the same play format over and over again, you know defence, build up your forces then go for the kill but not getting challenged that much. All that changed however when I started playing dark Crusade. I didn't think it would be possible to improve on the original format but they've managed it with spades! This game is a real challenge in campaign mode, you really have to think about what your doing and it will beat you when you make mistakes or get complacent! The graphics are great and the Necrons have a real matrix feal about them which I really like.
Overall this is a great game, if you like Warhammer and ... Read More:

This game is amazing! I was stunned when I bought this, the snow lanscapes are truly stunning! Every time you go on it you want to explore the world! One minute i was flying over the pyramids over Egypt the next minute i was travelling to the alps! Seriously if you are a trainer pilot or a person who loves viewing the landscapes in the air, then this game is certainly for you! (make sure you have the required hard drive space (15GB) otherwise your experience my not be so good) honestly this game is amazing, 5/5.

Do not buy this game - it is hideously outdated and has been far surpassed by Oblivion in every way.

This looked amazing. Amazing clothes, items and a whole lot of family fun. But NO! Why? Because it ruined my sims. It gave my sims a bug and i had to restart the whole game. It is ok, but I don't use it often. Buy it if you like new objects and clothes though.

Picked up this game at lunch time as a point and click fan with possibly too much expectation, by late evening I was amazed to find I had allready completed it. An anoying repetitive speach each time you aquire the main plot elements and no soid npc's. I would not recomend spending more than a five on this game but it's still worth a QUICK play through and if you don't own them allready I definately recomend buying 1. day of the tentacle 2. sam and max, hit the road 3. tunguska 4. broken sword 1+2 5. the moment of silence

Flight Simulator X - Acceleration Expansion Pack (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game

November 02, 2007
I have had many issues with FSX- when it came out I had what was then a medium spec PC... and promptly uninstalled it! I eventually got a new graphics card which helped, and finally ran it a a decent speed. I recently invested in a new PC- spening about £400 on it (as of July 2008), and I felt willing to try FSX acceleration despite the problems people have had. I was very surprised that it not only ran at a good framerate, but did so with the graphics sliders at the high or very high setting for everything. The graphics are stunning!!

As for the pack itself, it adds three very different aircraft to FSX and many many missions. All the aircraft present a new challenge. Air racing is fast paced and very tricky, landing on a carrier is more difficult (and I imagine more realistic) ... Read More:
