Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: 2K Games

March 20, 2006
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is the greatest role-playing game to date. It combines an enormous world, a plethora of quests, dynamic monsters, and intelligent skill leveling into an addictive game you won't be able to stop playing.

The size of the world is staggering, as are the number of quests offered. You can find most quests simply by overhearing conversations, or talking to people. You can also join any (or all) of the 4 guilds: the Fighters Guild, the Mages Guild, the Thieves Guild, or the Dark Brotherhood (the assassins' guild). All guilds come with a number of their own quests, as well as advancement and rewards. Or you can always just wander around stumbling into fights, castles, caves, breaking into houses, and going on ... Read More:

Reel Deal Slots Blackbeard's Revenge

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Phantom EFX

September 02, 2008
I've not had any problems with this game. I did, however, make sure I had the required video card and memory before purchasing. This game is a slot lover's dream! Gorgeous graphics, innovative bonus rounds, and clever themes make for hours of fun.

The overall theme is pirates.."AAAaRRRgh", and several games tap into that. From swashbuckling adventures, to dark and scary pirates, to hilarious pirate parodies.

Raja's Rupees has a lush feel of India...gorgeous graphics, and Tunzamunny is a funky blend of Egyptian and Sci-fi that has to be seen to be believed. My favorite is Kash Kong, a take on King Kong, with cool art deco graphics and a great bonus round. There really is something for everyone here, and none that I don't like. ... Read More:

Kings Bounty: The Legend

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Atari

September 23, 2008
I would normally give this game 4 of 5 stars losing only one for lack of replay value because of the single scenario. The game is fun interesting & witty in spots and even allows for character growth and customization. The graphics are beautiful and music is good if abit repetitive. The one thing I can't stand is that even after they have issued a patch for some issues it still crashes every few hours and this game takes many hours to play. Now I dont know about most of you but having to reboot vista without being able to shut the computer down because of a game bug is not my idea of cool

Certainly a lot of card games on this! I only purchased it for the Bridge game, which is quite good. I can't attest to the others

Hoyle Puzzle & Board Games 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Encore Software

August 19, 2008
This program is just "OK". I actually don't like it as well as my 2005 version, but was told that 2005 wouldn't work with Vista and sooner or later I'm going to have to upgrade to Vista.
I don't think they have much improved the program at all. They have added a game or two and the "Big Bang" games are fun but not to many of them in the game, at least that I like to play.
Not sure I'd have bought it had I know what ie was like. Most of the interface on this one is pretty much like the 2005 version I already had.

Chessmaster: The Art of Learning

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Ubisoft

October 30, 2007
The reviewer right below has stated it very well, so I won't bore anyone with too many details. This version of Chessmaster contains a true library of things to learn from various Masters of the game and is targeted at the Novice & Intermediate. The tutorials are done in a way that you don't have to be a strong Chess player to follow along. The puzzles, drills and game analysis are excellent ways to better understand the strategy & tactics behind winning Chess. My young daughter is finally wanting to learn Chess and I really appreciate how many areas of Chessmaster have been modified to apeal to children, while still not changing the other areas for us adult learners of this great game!

It's really amazing just how much quality content ... Read More:

Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Ubisoft

April 08, 2008
Assassins Creed has alot of things going for it. The graphics are superb, and the freedom to climb and jump on just about everything makes the game revolutionary. Unfortunately AC doesn't live up to it's full potential.

The biggest flaw with AC are its assassinations. There is little to no strategy involved, its pretty much a straight forward hack and slash kinda game. Even the melee combat, while visually cool, is pretty easy once you learn to counter attack. In fact most of the game is not very challenging at all. I would have much preferred a little more dept to assassinations, AC should have taken some notes from the Hitman series for that.

While the graphics are great, they do come at a price. You need a decent machine to run the game at ... Read More:

The tests do not provide the scores at the end. When I try to get my score, it says that it can't help me. Something is wrong.
