Baldur's Gate 2: Ultimate Collection (Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal)

from: Vivendi Universal

August 12, 2003
After my original disks were lost, I ordered this again.

I cannot stress enough this fact; that if you're a fan of RPGs, this is one the best games you will ever play, even considering its age.

We'll see how things fair after the EA takeover, but as of now I would swear by any roleplaying game with the Bioware name on it. These guys make quality RPGs, period. Throne of Bhaal is no exception. Epic Story, and gobs of replay value.

Icewind Dale Ultimate Collection

from: Vivendi Universal

August 26, 2003
Icewind Dale is probably the best RPG I have ever played, althought Morrowind may be right there as well. I loved playing this game, all the way from creating my characters to completing the end-game content. One of my favorite parts of this game is in the haunted elven fortress, it is a very difficult place to get through, even for experienced gamers such as myself. This game is true to the D&D rules and lore as well. The storyline is incredible, and the controls are fantastic.

I only wish I had the time to play it again.......

Overall = Superb

Homeworld 2

from: Vivendi Universal

September 16, 2003
The music is inferior to the first...

the graphics and explosions are still amazing years later... the bone chilling groan of a ruptured capital ship brings these metallic ships to life.

certainly a must play, just like the original.

Barbie as Rapunzel: A Creative Adventure

from: Vivendi Universal

September 27, 2002
This game requires quicktime 5.0 to work...if you have a better version of quicktime (I have 7.5), it will ask you to install the quicktime available on the CD...if you click no, it will not let you play. So, I begrudgingly clicked yes on the third try, and it installed quicktime 5, THEN it tells me to please install the quicktime available on the disc. It KEPT telling me that, even after I uninstalled my version of quicktime 7.5, and reinstalled Barbie Rapunzel and quicktime 5. Very frustrating, and the game absolutely will not work for me. It keeps telling me over and over, to install quicktime 5, tho I've been through the installation process repeatedly. It is NOT my "operating system limitations". This is a brand new computer...merely weeks ... Read More:

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis

from: Vivendi Universal

March 11, 2003
I had problems with Jurassic Park Operation Genesis because it wont work on my computer. I think though it was that I had an advanced computer.I s-ay that if anyone buys this game, they should have an old computer. Thats
because when it came out it was when the old computers where sold. And the new computers cant run it.

Caesar IV

This game is so much fun and the graphics are great. Only one problem, if your computer does not have the latest graphics card and a lot of memory the game will play extremely slow.

The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions

from: Vivendi Universal

August 28, 2001
My son learned about this game in school. He liked it so we got one for home. The puzzles are fun to solve--they teach the player to solve a problem using a selection of tools. In a way it's similar to computer programming--it allows you to connect tools with different functions to create something unique to solve a problem.

Arcanum: of Steamworks & Magick Obscura

from: Vivendi Universal

August 22, 2001
Ok, pretty much everything I have to say about this game has been said numerous times already.

This is one of the finest RPGs ever made. It ranks up there with Fallout, Planescape, and the Ultima series.

If you love RPGs, you've probably already played this, but if you haven't you owe it to yourself to give it a try.

Yes it's old, yes the graphics are dated, but none of that seems to matter once you start playing. It does what any good RPG can do, let's you role play, and it does it magnificently well.

Empire Earth Gold

from: Vivendi Universal

March 04, 2003
Empire Earth is the only thing I play anymore, the single player isn't the best but the multiplayer is amazing! With all the different epochs and amounts of resources or citizens to start with each game, there is an endless list of possibilities for games that one can play, although the general aspects are the same for each epoch, the strategies are completely different for each one, making the game seem like 15 different ones at the same time. It does take awhile to master the game, making it even more of a challenge, after 2 years of playing, i still haven't quite become a pro at everything in the game.
This is the best $20 I've ever spent in my life, I highly suggest this game for anyone with a computer and some free time to use it.

Empire Earth 2 Platinum Edition

from: Vivendi Universal

July 04, 2006
You'll get a good 2-3 months( or more) of enjoyment out of this game. The graphics are better than the first Empire Earth. However, I do miss being able to customize your civilization ( with the 100 skill points allocated). It was cool to try out new stratagies with different skill combinations----I was always partial to building upgrades myself.
