Zoombinis Logical Journey

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: The Learning Company

October 16, 2001
My 8-year-old daughter loves this. And I like it, too, because it is teaching her some logical reasoning in an entertaining setting.

I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of two small flaws:
- you can't stop the game and save it at each level, you have
to get through a few. This makes it harder to have her stop
when it is time to go to bed / go to school / etc. For the parent's
sake, please make games easy to save at any point.
- getting all the zombini's forward is a bit repetitive. On the plus
side, though, this does make sure she really learns the lessons and
becomes adept at solving the logical puzzles.

Nice game!

Great pad! functional and easy to set up. It is a little heavy and big for kids. My four year old still prefers his logitech precision.
I prefer this pad, so no arguing with the four year old :-)

Not much to say. Team Fortress 2 is a great multiplayer game. Portal and Half Life 2 + episodes are great single player games, portal more for mechanics and half life more for story.

McAfee Internet Security 2009 3-User

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: McAfee

September 07, 2008
While I did not expect much with McAfee Internet Security 2009 it did, at least, meet my expectations. As someone that works in the computing industry I know how the consumer level anti-virus packages can be below par and really cause headaches for the end user. Corporate level packages are much better, but I will get off topic here...

McAfee Internet Security 2009 was decently quick during the installation and updating phases. It followed the usual steps of uninstalling older software packages and did it with ease, but I'm sure it was just luck in my case. After the install and updating, I found the menus to be fairly easy to navigate. However, I personally feel that most anti-virus/internet security packages (McAfee included) offer too ... Read More:

I recently bought a macbook, so none of my old sims disks would work on my mac. I couldn't stand not playing the game, because it's the greatest game of all time...so I had to at least order the first disk of the sims 2 for the mac platform.

I received the item promptly and undamaged. A+ service!

The Witcher Enhanced

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Atari

September 16, 2008
This is the best game of the year (2007-2008). See the other entries for specific game play details, but there is no other game that I have played for over 6 months than the Witcher. I'm on my 8th re-play and the story has been different every time. CDPROJECTRED has made many improvements to an already wonderful game. The only problem I found with the game was an unusual loss of time awareness, and that my job interferes with my game playing experience. The producers of the game really care about us, the players. Their forum support is not like anything I have ever seen for any product. They are That good.
Caution: you need to read the computer specs carefully and really understand what your components are and what they can do. It is not the game's fault ... Read More:

from: Viva Media

October 01, 2005
This game can be called a beneficial game to play . Meaning in that it helps with people of all ages with developing problem solving and cognitive thinking;as well as being a fun game with great graphics as well. I have tried this before so I know what I was getting into and pretty much so have gotten pretty good at it.. I have played various puzzle games in the past. Dr Mario, Tetris. various online ones at pogo.com and such. I find this one to be the most interesting as it offers alotta variety and skill levels . From very simple to quite trying and complex . This game would be great too for children for helping develop those problem solving skills they will need later in life as well. Its great for adults for mind game type of games keeping the mind young, active ... Read More:
