Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Tiberian Sun

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from conquest23, www.shopping.com
The Bottom Line: From what I have seen; those who have never played Red Alert before seem to like it much better than veterans to the series.
from www.amazon.com
i installed on all 4 of my computers and reinstalled windows once.
from www.amazon.com
However, with the recent patches you should have no trouble getting the game installed, and they allow you to deauthorize your pc in the event you are going to format or reinstall for any reason.

The Star rating above for "fun" above should read ZERO stars.

Conspiracy: Weapons of Mass Destruction

$11.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
2009 is the bicentennial of the birth of Edgar Allan Poe in 1809 but it is his untimely and mysterious death in 1849 that has intrigued people ever since.
from www.amazon.com
If you like murder, mysteries and just plain old " Whodunnit", this is the game for you.
from www.amazon.com
It is very well done for the price and I like it.
from www.amazon.com
For a <$20 game, it's pretty good!
from www.amazon.com
If you have an old video card, this might be a FPS you can run on it.

Space Siege

$27.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
While waiting for it, I saw some official reviews - and the reviews were average, with plenty of criticisms, making me wonder if I should have bought the game after all.
from www.amazon.com
Seems like an attempt was made to "dumb-down" this game for greater appeal.
from www.amazon.com
Certainly this game is no Dungeon Siege or Dungeon Siege II in it's depth, storyline, visual vistas, and a million configurations, but I'm sure it's because Chris Taylor did not have a hand in the day by day operation -- after all he just "produced" ...
from www.amazon.com
The game takes place soley on a large space transport.
from www.amazon.com
but this game had some really nice stuff going for it...

Arma: Gold Edition

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
Having developed Operation Flashpoint and various real-life computer sims for the military, the folks at Bohemia know what they're doing when it comes to delivering the goods in a recreation of ultra deadly large-scale modern combat engagement.
from www.amazon.com
I was really looking forward to trying this one out as well.
from www.amazon.com
I really liked this game.
from www.amazon.com
In terms of environment, it boasts changing night and day, changing tides, speed of sound (you see an explosion before you hear it), Doppler sound (sound changes as a vehicle approaches and then passes you), and gravity effects on bullets (you have t...
from www.amazon.com
If you liked the original Ghost Recon, this sim is for you; in fact ArmA exceeds Ghost Recon in almost every category.

Fun for Girls: Sabrina, Riding Star, Total Style

$15.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
As many people know the Let's Ride series produces good horse games in general and Let's Ride Riding Star does not disappoint.
from www.amazon.com
The horses are realistic and the training and competitions are fun and challenging, especially the dressage!
from www.amazon.com
Let's Ride, Riding Star-- Why won't it let me go to the next training level?
from www.amazon.com
My daughter owns almost the complete series of Let's Ride, the ones for hand-held and playstation game systems are still a little better than those for PC, but the graphics were better than anticipated on this one.
from www.amazon.com
For competition you get to select a name and color for your horse for each different phase.

Supreme Ruler 2020

War Leaders

$21.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
Instead of "medium tank", for example, being the same thing for all counties; there is a clear difference in this game in equipment.
from www.amazon.com
I think I'll enjoy using the 'leader' roles and doing the research for the real gameplay.
from www.amazon.com
First, let me say that this is quite a value - very inexpensive for a new-issue game.
from www.amazon.com
I tried to give this game a shot.
from www.amazon.com
I have been playing these things for over 30 years now.

Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack

$19.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
EA must enjoy releasing expansion packs (especially if you take a look at The Sims and The Sims 2) because the game wasn't released that long before an expansion pack came out.
from www.amazon.com
Bought it to the kids which are big fans of the Spore game.
from www.amazon.com
What is worse is the fact this Stuff Pack is $20.
from www.amazon.com
For your own sanity please do not purchase this product.
from www.amazon.com
Firstly it is important to note some things about this expansion/parts pack.

The best I have seen in a game.
from www.amazon.com
Before you read this, bear in mind that I am reviewing this game having paid only [...] for it.

It's addictive, especially in online co-op mode.
from www.amazon.com

The Price is Right

$16.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
After playing TPIR pc game for a few times, I can say there are some good positives to the game, but also some missing elements to the game.
from www.amazon.com
Although the Price is Right tries to stick to the format of the TV show, after awhile I realized it was one long product placement after another.
from www.amazon.com
Does play somewhat like the TV version, be nice if it had 3 games then spin the wheel.
from www.amazon.com
Enjoying the video game, so life like, characters make me laugh.
from www.amazon.com
I am an avid Price is Right fan.

OutCry for Windows

$15.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
Game itself was a disappointment, as the story line was not what I was hoping for.
from www.amazon.com
OutCry was a very unusual game set in the 1920's (Russia, I think).
from www.amazon.com
I found Outcry to be one of the most fascinating games of the
from www.amazon.com
Was not fun for me.
from www.amazon.com
Both are very common for the adventure game genre and Outcry is one of the most creative and interesting adventures I've played in a long time.

Grand Ages: Rome

$29.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
A Roman city-building sim in the vein of such classics as the Caesar series, Grand Ages: Rome has an intriguing premise and workable gameplay, but falls short in other areas.
from www.amazon.com
Grand Ages Rome is not your typical city-building game.
from www.amazon.com
I've been playing this for months, I'm a veteran gamer, and a smart guy.
from www.amazon.com
I like the game but had to repair Windows in two successive PCs (XP Media center and Vista home ultimate)after operating system corruption the day after use of the game.
from www.amazon.com
I love city building games mainly Roman but this game just sucks on so many levels like another person stated within 2 minutes of starting a free build game there was three fires with no way of putting them out within the next minute i got a message ...

Casual Variety Pack Single Facing

$15.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
Amazingly great work for the price.
from www.amazon.com
As a fan of adventure games, I have to say this is among the more boring ones I have played for quite a long time.
from www.amazon.com
The graphics are very nice, a few of the puzzles stumped me for a bit, but I completed the game in under two hours, and for the price being asked by most places, I'd say it's not really worth buying.
from www.amazon.com
Translation problems from French to English might ruin it for people who do not speak French.
from www.amazon.com
Sometimes the background is dark and you will have difficulties (for example, at the metro entrance I had trouble opening the gate), and there is no option to control the lighting.

from www.amazon.com
For the low price, I was not expecting much, but I'm an FPS collector, so I had to have it.

I bought this as a Christmas present for one of the grandsons, so I don't know yet how well he likes it, or how much fun it is for him to play.

I have two computers.
from www.amazon.com
It may not be for the most advanced gamer but it is fun, and easy to navigate.
from www.amazon.com
If this game came out in the 90's then it would have been in its time but with the games out today this is truely out of date with code that is currently being written.

Arma II

$46.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
After re installing the first Armed Assault after not playing for a year or so, i quickly picked up on the control scheme.
from www.amazon.com
ARMA 2 uses Macrovision FADE DRM (apparently it's already been cracked).
from www.amazon.com
Arma II is the ultimate military sandbox simulator.
from www.amazon.com
Armed Assault 2 (ARMA 2) is a military action-startegy game based around squad and platoon-level tactics.
from www.amazon.com
On the one hand, I loved Operation Flashpoint (which the Arma series was basically a sequel to), and on the other hand, the early reviews talked about a buggy game, maybe too ambitious.

from www.amazon.com
This game is fun for everyone.
from www.amazon.com
This game has nothing to do with cooking.
from www.amazon.com
This game is like everyone has said, not a "culinary" game but a coordination/time mangement game.
from www.amazon.com
I, personally, don't care for the game but the person I purchased it for loves the game and the TV show.
