Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask Of The Betrayer Expansion Pack 1 (PC DVD)

I am quite frankly amazed that there are people who don't like this. The story is superb, keeping you hooked throughout. The only story that you could compare it to would be that of the legendary Baldur's Gate 2, and we all know how good that was.

Do not be put off by the occasional person moaning about bugs and the like. I personally have never experienced a major bug with either this or the original game, and any potential bugs have been significantly ironed out with the latest patches.

Finally, I would also recommend you get this simply so you can access even more of the community material. There are some simply fantastic modules out there, and you won't want to miss out on them. My only gripe with this and the original ... Read More:

Galactic Civilizations 2: Endless Universe (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Kalypso Media

Superb 4X strategy game from Stardock, who continue to improve it and who also host a thriving player community.

Be warned, this is a specific compilation of Dark Avatar and Twilight of Arnor and doesn't include the original campaign from the first release of GalCiv 2., however that's no real loss as the original game was fundamentally changed with patches to make it better but the campaign got a little borked in the process. What's offered by way of the two expansions is all you really need.

No multiplayer but brilliant singleplayer experience.

Unreal Tournament III (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Midway Games Ltd

This game differs a lot from it's predecessors. As an example, a lot of the game modes from the previous Unreal Tournaments have been simply thrown out which spoils the fun a bit in my opinion. Cutting out game modes like Invasion really dissapointed me when I first ran the game. That being said, the introduction of a different plot made me interested at first. After time though, the fun seemed to wash away as playing the same games on slighty different maps killing the same people over and over gets a little repetitive. Sure. it's great fun for one-offs like if you're bored and looking to kill half an hour but I can't recommend it for constant playing. What happened to Invasion? Sheesh.

Command & Conquer: The First Decade (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Electronic Arts

This pack offers incredible value for money but I assume will only appeal to those who wish to revel in nostalgia. The pack offers 100s of hours of gameplay and, although the graphics on the older games is nowhere near the standard of modern games, they are still great fun to play.

Just to set the record straight, there are patches to resolve all the issues that I am aware of. Visit the cncworld website for free downloads.

Age of Empires II Gold Edition

from: Microsoft

October 04, 2002
AoE has a sound pedigree & the Conquerors' Expansion is the icing on the cake.
The facility to customise your own camaigns is irresistible & enthralling.
It has excellent graphics & a number of levels on which to play helps prevent early frustration & encourages learning.
This is ideal for both the seasoned game campaigner or the absolute beginner.
Hours of endless escapism - fabulous!

this game is loads of fun and another great hit from the creators of age of empires. I have had no problems with this game but it takes up quite a bit of memory !

Race Driver: GRID (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Codemasters Limited

May 30, 2008
I've had this game for a week and have it running on a PC with windows XP SP3 and using a Logitech Formula Force EX wheel.
Installing the game turned out not to be easy as installation failed a number of times. Although the graphics are quite good the game is virtually unplayable. No matter how I configure the controller and the car, the latter is pretty much uncontrollable and wanders about all over the track. Perhaps if you use an Xbox controller it might work better. If you're into pure racing games I doubt you will enjoy this very much. It's by far the worst example I have ever come across.

Felt compelled to write my first Amazon review. I played most of the point and click games out there including the other great titles from this publsher (dark fall etc), however just to warn any avid adventure gamer how dissapointing this game was! No atmosphere and unengaging can't understand WHY its had so many good reviews!

Dead Space (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: Electronic Arts

October 24, 2008
Unfortunately after reading a review which states that while Dead Space is a very intense and horrific sci-fi horror with excellent story and atmosphere it has been crippled by poor PC controls while favoring the good old 360 gamepad and using the mouse is nearly impossible.

Min Spec are
2.8GHz
1Gb of ram (2GB for vista)
Geforce 6800/Ati x1600 Pro or better graphics card

Plus it also come DRM infested curtsy of EA.
