Lego: Indiana Jones (PC DVD)

Just got this game for my grandsons to play, ages 6 and 4 they both love Lego Starwars on PC and Nintendo DS and Wii. All very excited, it installed ok, but won't play, error message about emulators? I've deleted and disabled everything I can think of, tried installing it on 3 other computers in the house. No joy, two very disappointed little boys and a frustrated granny and I can't send it back. Good to see other punters are as fed up as us. I give it no stars.

ive been playing Diablo for years but the Expansion (especially on patch 1.11b) is incredible. It blows your mind away. With the two new character classes-druid and assassin- and hundreds of new items, this addictive game is a great play and can keep you going for hours.

buy this game.
you will never get bored :)

Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition (PC)

I fully agree with a previous reviewer. The game get harder as you progress. Lot's of annoying impediments to your main task. But is it perhaps the boredom factor creeping in. It seem's to throw everything at you in the first 2 missions and then it's the same again, but more frustrating. Unlike games like MoH, CoD, NOLF, etc where each episode is in a different environment AC puts you in exactly the same environment with identical NPC's, and identical tasks.

Buy it cheap and be prepared for only a limited amount of enjoyment.

Graphically it is excellent. But the gameplay is really repetitve.

The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion Pack (PC CD)

I think it's fair to say that Maxis have effectively bled the Sims 2 series dry, making a LOT of money from it. In this expansion, I believe you actually get something new.

Creating a business is probably the most rewarding experience I've ever had on the sims, and the most challenging. From managing your employees, to making sure you're not out of stock, things can get a little stressful but that didn't stop me from making a three storied furniture store!

This game is undoubtabley a challenge, even more so to the regular Sim fan. I'd only get this if you want a completely new Sims experience and are up for figuring out the kinks. Best expansion to date for the series.

Diablo II (PC CD)

or 4... At least I think that's how long I spent playing Diablo II in every spare moment I could find, I'm not sure, I kinda lost track of time for a bit.

The concept behind making Diablo II so popular is ridiculously simple. Make an engine that can generate nearly infinite numbers of uniquely different magical items and people will play until the end of time trying to obtain a sword or a suit of armour that's just that little bit better than what you already have.

The stories and cut scenes that drive the game forward and link the various Acts are superbly done and contribute in some way to dispelling the "nothing but a clickfest" label that the Diablo games have been cast as.

Many spells and abilities are only available at level 30 or above and to fully ... Read More:

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm Expansion Pack (PC DVD)

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

A contender for one of the worst expansions ever? Quite possibly.

"You get to battle across an entire solar system!"

... Four planets, each with about 5 provinces each, and 3 moons. Our solar system has 8 planets. It only adds nine more provinces than Dark Crusade.

"Rain death from the air!"

Hardly. The new air units are awful. They're not very fast for air-craft of the 41st millennium. You can't even do decent bombing runs. Essentially, they're just land speeders raised a little higher off the ground. Even Command & Conquer (which in my opinion is one of the worst games of all time) did a better job with air units!

"Customise your commander and personalise your army!"

You can't "customise" your commander. It's ... Read More:

The Sims 2: H&M Fashion Stuff (PC CD)

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

I really like The Sims and i love H&M so when i saw this game i had to buy it!! I thought it would be just clothes but its not. For those(like me) who only have the Sims 2 and not Unniversity or Nightlife then this game adds some of the features you get with them.
For example, when creating your sim, you can now add "turn-ons and turn-offs" which means that your sim will be more attracted to certain sims with certain features, (e.g. brown hair and make-up). In addition the sims now have chemistry which are reflected by their turn-ons.
You also get a glimpse of what the Sims will be like if you get Unniversity, Nightlife, or Open for Business which really encourages you to buy them.
Overall i think that this is a good expansion pack and if nothing else, the clothes are really nice!!!

The game is very realistic and I love playing this - I have been looking for a suitable strategy game and this was perfect. I really can not express how good it really is, but I can say that the graphics are amazing and so is the actual history (I know the history of Rome).
