Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Electronic Arts

October 28, 2008
When will they learn? EA is finally starting to put out some decent or even good games and they go and ruin it. I played the beta and thought it was quite fun, however I will NOT be buying this game. Say what you will about SecuROM being spyware, but there is no denying the install limit. I will not allow EA to tell me how to use my LEAGALLY purchased game.

I wonder what the suits at EA are thinking? Its obvious this has done NOTHING to prevent priacy (in fact it appears to increase it) so why is it still being used? I can download a FREE copy and install it as many times as I want, but if I pay for it I am limited to 5 installs! I know EA only cares about the money, but this still baffels me. What is the point in hurting paying ... Read More:

Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Her Interactive

October 06, 2008
The Haunting of Castle Malloy is another well thought out programmed PC Game! I have never been disappointed with any of the Nancy Drew Series and this one is no exception. Again it educates in a most poignant way about the area or location of the world you are at. I literally had to search the internet to learn how to play and score in darts! And now I know how to play darts. I became quite the "Mixer" when I had to serve at the Irish Pub. Some parts are a wee bit tricky lass, like once you program the jet pack. If you are not in the location the game somehow needs you to be at you will explode and die but come back to life often.lol Also when you are jet packing about I thought I could fly up into the heavens...not so I lost fuel and had ...

Left 4 Dead

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Electronic Arts

November 17, 2008
What makes this a great game is the multiplayer aspect. This game is not designed to appeal to strict single player style. Although the game does not have loads of content, the replay value for the game is really outstanding.

The content in the game is detailed and well polished. Each character has around 1000 voice recordings of good voice acting that helps also. The messages left by other survivors are also a nice touch. There isn't a lot of fluff and filler. I have played through the entire game with friends and it was relatively short lived (6.5 hours), but incredibly fun.

There is no crazy DRM that limits how many times you can install the game, and steam provides good support with the product so far. The ... Read More:

VG Pocket Disney Classic Pals

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: PDP

September 30, 2008
I purchased this for my 3 yr. old son beacause he was always taking his older brothers GameBoy. I am amazed by the graphics quality of this game. All the controls are simple and intuitive. There are no additional games to buy so it stays simple. There are even a headphone jack and a vido out jack on the game so you can connect it to a TV! (The cable is not included)

This is a steal at $25.00 for a yonger boy or girl.

Microsoft Streets & Trips 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Microsoft Software

September 20, 2008
This is a very good mapping program. It is easy to install and register. Making a trip plan is very easy and there are a lot of options for length of day, speed, and extra stops. If anything could be improved, more hotel brands and restaurants could be included. I would recommend this program to anyone looking for a better than average mapping solution.

World of Warcraft 60 Day Pre-Paid Time Card

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Blizzard Entertainment

If you play the game regularly, sure it's convenient to sign up with the bliz plans. But, why pay the tax bliz charges when you can pay the same rate (or better, if you normally go shorter plans) by getting this from Amazon? Always makes a great gift, and never spoils in the mail.

Plus, with the recent release of the expansion (Wrath of the Lich King), your gamer may need a few of these.

Garmin Map Update of 2009 City Navigator North America NT

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Garmin


I have owned my Garmin gps for over two years and have loved it. In addition, I use my gps both personally and professionally in home repair. One of the main reasons that I bought this update was that I couldn't find addresses in the newer subdivisions which are 2-5 years old. The update didn't improve that issue at all and for the first time the gps gave me wrong directions (told me to turn down a one way street in a old established neighborhood). To be quite honest, I haven't seen any benefit to buying the update, as a result I am very disappointed.

Mac OS X Version 10.5.4 Leopard

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Apple

June 12, 2007
Like Tiger before it, Leopard is worth every penny. Time machine works seamlessly (if you don't make the same mistake I did and use a LaCie drive for backup - it will fail sooner rather than later). Most new features are excellent. Unfortunately, the new X11 that ships with Leopard is badly messed up (at least when I installed it a while ago). Luckily, you can download the latest build from http://xquartz.macosforge.org is you need to use X11 professionally. Overall, Leopard is great and worth the upgrade!

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Electronic Arts

September 16, 2008
Warhammer Online is a great game. It's only been out for a short time now and already has over 1 million subscribers. The RvR (or Realm versus Realm) experience take player versus player combat to a new level. There's a game here for everyone, whether you like to play alone, with groups against the game or with groups against other people.

They are already about to release several new classes and we're not even 2-months into release.

I already bought a 6-month subscription and I know that's only the start.

there are a TON of options, almost too many. i've had this for a couple of weeks and am still running into things i didn't know it would do! being able to CATEGORIZE your emails is nice; if you flag them they pop up when you start Outlook as reminders. there is so much to say about it i could go on an on .. suffice it to say this is a really nice upgrade from the old outlook .. this was a real treat for me. PLUS .. AMAZON HAD THE BEST PRICE AROUND .. even CHEAPER THAN WAL MART!!! Don't think twice, just go ahead an buy it .. you won't regret it. Seriously.
