ok so laid out £60 on this game with a game card,only to find that it can't be loaded on any of our 2 pc's.one being windows vista the other windows xp.also there is no phone support you can only contact them by e-mail,but they do reply after a few hours to help you .which took about 4 days to find out that we can't play these games on our pc's.problem being as you are loading the game a problem starts then you have to contact them wait a few hours for a reply .then try what they tell you what to do only to find after solving one problem a another problem starts so you contact them again and again.tbh we never have this problem on wow at all.

Napoleon's Campaigns (PC DVD)

from: Ascaron

I've played a few of the shorter campaigns, and found them really enjoyable. Currently playing the Peninsular War, which was a bit dicey for awhile (close to losing very early on - and Madrid has changed hands several times!), but Wellington has just turned up and it looks a bit better... Mind you, I do have a couple of cavils: firstly, that Napoleon's early campaigns in Italy aren't included, and secondly that you don't get a game like AGEOD's American Civil War where you get to fight the whole thing, and decide about your economy etc. However, that said, it's the sort of game on PC that I've been looking for, for a long long time!

I have the demo and i thought it was quite good but then i got the fifa manager 08 demo and even without all its best features its a superioir game. Fifa m 08 has more tactical things to do and you can have more power over the club, download the demo of both games before you buy this

ArmA: Armed Assault - Gold Edition (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: 505 Games

Arma is a great infantry combat simulation game (the vehicles could do with some work though) i barely play the real game though because the map editor is just so much fun and really lets you create your own unique and fun singleplayer and multiplayer maps. Theres also a few great mods out for it too, (zombie mod FTW!!).
All in all, if your P.C will handle it and you're fed up with the run and gun of BF2 style games, give Arma a try!!

Fritz Chess 11 (PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PC Games
from: First Class Simulations

February 01, 2008
A good range of features allow you to 'detune' it to your standard. [Necessary for everyone except a Grandmaster.]

Excellent DataBase of Games, Openings, Endgames etc.

Superb interface (the best there is), without necessarily being too flashy.

Out of the ChessBase stable, so its pedigree is unmatched.

Also gives free access to ChessBase.Com where players of all strengths from throughout the world can play against each other.

Monopoly New Edition (PC CD)

I found this game to be very good indeed, the tokens are interestingly voice, and they are animated as they move around the board.

I think that it is great, dispite all of the previous reviews, I think you should deffiantly buy this game.

A draw back may be that it can look a bit dull without a decent graphics card, since my laptop was unable to run the animations, but the PC I'm on atm works fine!

A modern remake of the classic game, including european game boards, including British, it wouldn't be monopoly without it.

Highly recommendable.

Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy

Nostradamus : the last prophecy

This is a first person traditional point-and-click adventure with a historical detective bent. You play as Madeleine, Nostradamus' daughter (appearing as yourself or disguised as your brother).

The queen visits Nostradamus to ask for help to solve and stop a series of murders afflicting those around the royal household. Since Nostradamus is too frail and his son is away then Madeleine is sent in disguise as his son. Briefly, a number of murders crop up and are investigated by the player.

The game installed fine and did not need the disk in the drive during play. The controls worked well, all mouse-driven. No bugs were encountered under XP on a older computer. There are an infinite number of save slots, ... Read More:

The Movies (PC DVD)

This is a game of two halves, but unfortuantely I'm not sure which is worse. I really, really wanted to like this game, but the more I played, the more disappointed I was.

I think many people, like me, buy this game primarily for the movie making part of the game. However, it is not possible to just jump in and start making movies. There is a "tycoon" type game that one must play first, building the lot, hiring the actors, etc. Now, I usually like such games, so I didn't have a problem with that. However, unfortunately the tycoon part of the game is not very good, and gets boring quite quickly.

However, the movie making is where I was especially disappointed. You have to play for a few hours before you can "write your own script" (although you can jump ... Read More:
