Fallout for Windows

$20.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the post-apocalyptic storyline after wwiii is great along with the character creation and all the npcs in the game make it a sure hit.
from www.amazon.com
some of the things i liked about it:a genuinely non-linear story line: starting with character developement, you can take radically different paths through the game.
from www.amazon.com
it improved upon the various systems of fallout 1, continued its' dark humor, and provided a never-ending gameplay from version 1.
from www.amazon.com
that means that some things--like the fact that there are no children in the game--will be different.
from www.amazon.com
the last portion of the game gave the character no option but to spew venom, hate, and lies about republicans.

PC - Left 4 Dead

$38.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the class-based aspect of the infected makes playing that side probably the funner of the two, but it's a very entertaining game playing as the survivors (it alternates, as well).
from lulz, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: to those asking why there arn't children its because the esrb, and how unethical it would be to kill a child, even if its a video game.
from www.amazon.com
-i imagine after owning this game for a very long time, unless the content is updated often (which it should be), i can see some of the levels becoming stale.
from www.amazon.com
too often, a game will boast that it has online content and multiplayer options and then only wind up giving you some sort of vs.
from www.amazon.com
what makes this a great game is the multiplayer aspect.

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

$31.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
though the game is rather short, only eighteen levels, and they aren't especially challenging, though some of the puzzles take a little effort, there's enough items to collect and characters to
from www.amazon.com
it's a great game because the puzzles are aimed at kids, and allows for two players to play together.
from www.amazon.com
this game rocks for all ages, my son 4 loves it, and so do i.
from www.amazon.com
since your character never "dies," it's a low frustration game for my two younger kids, but also has enough hidden tricks and challenges to entertain my older kids and my husband.
from www.amazon.com
we bought this as a game for the whole family- it has adventurous appeal to the adults, and the cooperative gameplay feature has allowed our kids to enjoy some time with dad.

World of Warcraft Wrath the Lich King

World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King for Windows, Mac

$58.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the game itself merits 4 stars, i would give it 5, but the complete lack of anything remotely difficult for the first 3 months of the game is not good, despite the polish of the content that does
from www.amazon.com
with the new character of a death knight it also brings new abilities and such to the game.
from www.amazon.com
so i figured that even though i wasn't really looking forward to getting into the game again, at least i'd have the fun social aspect of it.
from www.amazon.com
wotlk is not breaking any new barriers in gaming, but it's adding very good content to a game i already enjoy.
from www.amazon.com
the quests to 70-80 are extremely fun with a lot of new content, including getting to use siege weapons and in game cinematics.

Eve Online Small Box

$35.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
eve goes a different route and instead heads to space but it is more than dnd in space, eve using an entirely different character creation system that is based on skills, meaning there is no limit to
from www.amazon.com
as others have said before, it is not for kids.
from www.amazon.com
this is the most fun aspect of the game.
from www.amazon.com
a lot of people have covered the action based aspects of this game, so i'm going to cover a portion of eve that not many people cover: the market and economy.
from www.amazon.com
many of the other reviews here do a good job of detailing aspects of game play.

Dungeon Runners

$82.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
don't buy this game for your kids unless #1 they are already playing it.
from www.amazon.com
my nine year old son and his friends love this game.
from www.amazon.com
all three classes are fun and have unique skills so that there are many different ways to play any character.
from www.amazon.com
you are not limited by what choices of characters you make in the beginning, since you can buy the skills of any class and combine them to make a totally different type of character.
from www.amazon.com
new content added often enough to keep me going for a year and counting
