Nero 9

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Nero Inc.

October 20, 2008
Usually when you spend $50 on an UPGRADE, you get an upgrade. This is not the case here. Nero has removed the ability to play blurays without warning potential customers of this. So you spend $$, go through the painful process of installing this thing, then try do something you did with version 8 and it doesn't work (as it is no longer supported). WTF?!? Then try to uninstall this thing and reinstall 8, I couldn't do it (8 kept saying the installation was corrupt). I had to use a backup image from 2 months ago to restore my computer to the state it was in pre-nero 9, and in the process lose a bunch of stuff. We'll see if nero gives me a refund for this junk.

If ahead software was concerned in the least about it's customers, it would ... Read More:

Chessmaster 10th Edition JC

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Encore

January 04, 2008
I recently purchase and installed Chessmaster 10th edition.
This game takes 1.6GB space on hard disk and requires keeping CD in the drive or it doesn't start. According to Ubisoft tech support, it only works for one account- administrator who installed the game.
Game has some obvious bugs, such as pop up windows sometimes stay on top of chess board and you can't see the game. Tech support said this issue may have been solved in their updates, but problem is that updating doesn't work and I was unable to resolve the issue with Ubisoft tech support. Their help is laughable: Update drivers, defragment disk, empty windows Temp directory, and empty recycle bin. None of that had any affect on updates.
Buyer be ware.

Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Sony Creative Software

August 01, 2008
While Vegas 9.0b improves features over 8.0d, it crashes much more often than its predecessor on Vista 64 Home Premium.

Pros: Now you can save AVCHD files and WMP11.
Cons: Crashes often during editing in the trimmer. Still not a 64-bit app even though the Pro version is.

Until they fix the crashing, it was not worth my $57 for the upgrade from 8 to 9.

Bitdefender Total Security 2009 2Yr/3Pc

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Bitdefender, LLC

August 15, 2008
I started out feeling very frustrated with BitDefender. When I installed BitDefender, it did not work immediately. I kept getting an error message that said the "services" were unavailable. Nothing I did would get BitDefender to work properly. It wouldn't even let me uninstall it. Despite being an administrator using Vista, it still told me that I didn't have permission to uninstall it.

After much frustration, I gave in and contacted BitDefender customer support. I was quite surprised by the help I received. I emailed customer service and an agent actually responded (as opposed to just getting a form letter in garbled English as a reply). The agent instructed me on fixing the problem. He looked at the list of programs installed on my computer and told me that a ... Read More:

Half Life 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Electronic Arts

October 26, 2006
Pros:
Impressive facial animations
Great story
Game actually made me flinch

Cons:
AI is a little weak
Frustraiting vehicle control
End of the game is too easy

There's not much new to say, given the amount of reviews already out there for this game. My experience was a good one overall though. Graphics were great, even for '08 I still feel they were top notch. The physics in this game our amazing, something I haven't seen done well since the Jurassic Park spinoff 'Trespasser'.
The story was great too, a cross between Matrix type human slavery and Mad Max desloation made for a good backdrop. Like many other reviewers, I feel one too many questions went unanswered though. Cliffhangers are fun, but at the end I felt like 'what ... Read More:

Adds some classy stuff to the game. I wish I could have paid less for it but I bought it when it first came out. I am glad to have it though!

Very challenging game. Attention to detail is most important. Also it takes a lot of time to figure out the puzzles. It's a game that requires a lot of patience.
