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

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
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.

Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Saitek


I read the reviews before I purchased the pedals for my boyfriend (pros and cons) which were very helpful in my decision. The pedals arrived from Amazon on the day they were suppose to as well as Saitek Yoke and throttle combo. At first he had some problems with the brakes as some of you have with it showing at half even when not pressing on it but after taking the time which was only about 20mins he figured it out (he went to controls axes and put the check in the box to reverse). Everything works great he is very happy with the Saitek Pro pedals and also the Saitek Yoke and throttle combo. We highly recommend these products.

Mass Effect

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Electronic Arts

May 27, 2008
Mass Effect might be the first truly cinematic video game experience. Everything from the electronic score to the optional film grain applied to the visuals to the top notch voice acting talent make you believe that you are the lead in a mid-80s classic science fiction film (think Blade Runner or Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan).

The plot is epic. You command a state-the-art starship (the Normandy, which is not unlike the Enterprise) in the twenty-third century with a crew of intersting and well-developed characters some of whom can join you on away missions and others who you can consult from time to time on board the ship. There is a vast galaxy to explore. When you land on a planet you take the Mako (a cross between a shuttle craft, ... Read More:

Madden NFL 08 DVD

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Electronic Arts

August 14, 2007
I have enjoyed the PC version of Madden NFL for many years. I am quite disappointed they have discontinued the PC version.

Madden NFL 08 is very fun to play. Play calling is simple and direct. Game play is smooth and fast. Both offensively and defensively there are multiple audible options after a play has been called. The playbooks and audibles are highly customizable.

The graphics are nice at the highest settings. There are multiple graphics levels which helps improve game speed if you have a slower PC.

Owner mode is fun as well. Building and improving a team through the draft and free agency is entertaining. One complaint about the draft - you have a limited number of scouting attempts. So you can't gain much ... Read More:

The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Dreamcatcher Interactive

October 03, 2008
Many ways they can improve. Graphics are great but the story line was a little lame. Felt lost and clueless quite often. I keep in mind that the first Nancy Drew game was quite lame as well. And look how GREAT they are now. There is hope for the Hardy Boys. I would suggest playing just so you can get use to the tools and game format.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Atari

November 07, 2006
I have run all 3 versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon and this last version takes all the problems and glitches that were in the first release. It also has combined the two expansion packs (Wild and Soaked) onto the same disc so all games are installed at the same time.

A work of caution though. This is a very high end graphic and memory heavy game. You really need a top line machine with lots of Ram memory, a fast processor and a high end graphics card with lots of memory and very fast screen rendering. If you try to run this on a standard system it will slow down as you add rides and scenery to the point where it's impossible to use. And it doesn't run with Windows Vista. XP Pro is the best version to run this game on.

Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Compilation Pack (DVD-ROM)

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Atari

October 25, 2005
After waiting patiently for MacSoft to release a combo pack of the Neverwinter expansions, I decided to go ahead and purchase this one. The installation was not difficult, and I found myself immersed in the new stories in no time. It's a lot cheaper than buying them separately from MacSoft, and there are plenty of places on the net with instructions on how to install.

The game is dated (certainly by now) but it's still a lot of fun, and definitely a good value.

I am pleased with the companies notification to me that my copy was damaged in shipping. Unfortunately, they did not have a replacement for me. They were very prompt in informing me of the "BAD" news. I had downloaded a trial version from microsoft to "test drive" the program and it works great. Thanks.

MobileMe Family Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Apple

July 12, 2008
Mobile me Rocks. Although most of what I wanted to do I could have done with a single unit, I used the family pack to give one to my brother and one to my sister to use in their families. The sharing of the calendar and contacts is great within the family. And since we all use different computers some apple some dell it makes them all share this stuff together. Its just what we needed.
