Spore (Mac/PC DVD)

from: Electronic Arts

September 05, 2008
This game is limited to 3 activations. An activation is used when you install or upgrade your computer. Once all the activations are used up, the game stops working!

The DRM used by the game, SecuROM, is very invasive and harvests information about your computer and monitors / disrupts other legitimate applications that it deems may be used for piracy. This is an incredulous state of affairs and if piracy is a problem for the industry, the industry should prosecute the pirates and not invade the customers own computer with spyware to monitor them. It's way too draconian.

Crysis (PC DVD)

from: Electronic Arts

November 16, 2007
I played the demo when it first came out and at the time I didn't particularly have a great rig, I could only play Crysis on all low settings. At first I thought gameplay was average, I wasn't really trying the game out to see what the gameplay was like but more to do with how good my pc could run it at the time.

How the tables have turned; I recently got myself a powerful gaming rig and I decided to try the demo again and well what can I say, my system's optimal settings recommended high and it plays like a dream. Now that I own the game I have managed to tweak some settings and I have a mixture of high and very high and it runs as smooth as silk, personally I cannot enjoy a game unless the graphics are as amazing as they should be; ...

The Sims 2: FreeTime Expansion Pack (PC DVD)

from: Electronic Arts

February 29, 2008
Even though my sims people in my game have extremely busy lives I wanted this pack oh so much, not just because I have all the Sims games anyways but cos of all the fun things my simmies can do, so at the weekends they do all their fun and family types things. But with this packs diversity you can also use it in a different way for exanple a soccer mom, could watch her kids play soccer, like they do at school events, and if you have Open for Business you can have a clothes shop where the clothes are made on the sewing machine then sold, also pottery shop, a garage (home business) to do up scrap cars and sell them on to buyers. I love this game so very much and play it very often if you are a sims fan i am sure you will love it too, taking into consideration ... Read More:

Rock Band: Band in a Box (Xbox 360)

from: Electronic Arts

May 23, 2008
Yes it's cheaper in the US. It's too big to import so I'm afraid I bit the bullet and I bought one-and it's fab, it's the most fun I've had with my 360 . Buy an extra guitar for the bass parts and you have a 4 piece.

Rock Band: Solus (Xbox 360)

from: Electronic Arts

May 23, 2008
This game is simply amazing. In my view much better than Guitar Hero. Why?
The amount of content available for download is outstanding, they release at least 3 new songs every week and throw in an album every now and then. Plus the tracks are cheaper than Guitar Hero tracks (and you're getting 4x you're moneys worth due to the amount of instruments).
The gameplay is better, everything you wish Guitar Hero did back in the day Rock Band does and so much more; for instance the goofy circular dome things that represent notes in Guitar Hero are replace with sleaker and more precise bar.
Compatibility. Every guitar for GH will work on Rockband but not vice versa (GH refused to do this so Activision are to blame). Also 90% of the tracks you have for ... Read More:

Spore Creature Creator (Mac/PC DVD)

from: Electronic Arts

June 27, 2008
I suggest everyone who thinks that if they buy this they are buying a demo I urge you all to read the product information for the full spore game preorder with amazon.
heres the bit thats interesting:
"Buy Spore Creature Creator with us at Amazon.co.uk and get £5 off Spore."
Now notice that creature creator costs £4.99 Yep thats right, if you decide to buy the full game your amazon will basicly pay you a penny and give you a free disk.
Best deal this year.
