World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Games
from: Blizzard Entertainment

November 13, 2008
i've been reading a couple of these reviews and agree with most of them fully. I've been playing this expansion for a while now and have come to these conclusions:
-The new content including the new land, is very interesting and very unique. The game looks a whole lot better than it did before.
-The new class: the death knight, regardless of what some say made me actually care about the history of the character because the first couple quests gave you an in depth background.
-MORE OF THE SAME, yes many have said it, once you get past the ooooh aaaah, of this is new (which would probably be after a day or so of playing) you get the feeling that everything you did in the endgame before these two expansions was pointless. But ... Read More:

Fallout 3

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Games
from: Bethesda Softworks

October 28, 2008
If you look around your going to see a very hyped rating of this game. Put it this way, your going to spend the game talking to an endless amount of boring NPCs....you rarely shoot anything and the world you "live" in is full of random quests that are even more boring than the game.

If your like me and see all kinds of flaws like "If its been 200 years, how are able to eat anything you find and how is it not dust?" don't bother going any further.

The defenders of this game will say its a "Action RPG!"

Leave out the "Action" and replace with "Boring" and your 100% correct.

Fallout 3 isn't worth the hype or the price because it is a shallow game with a weak story.

I can honestly say that ... Read More:

Left 4 Dead

This game is to action what Portal was to puzzles. Straightforward, simple, yet addictive.

The only piece of advice I have is not to buy it expecting to be blown away by Single Player mode. The online co-op and versus modes are the heart of the game, and you really need to experience those to appreciate all five stars.

Spore

The game starts off very fun: creating, growing, surviving. The game takes you through different gameplay styles from 3rd person action adventure to RTS style gameplay. However, the missions remain the same and as you progress through the game it gets tedious and boring. 3 Stars for the game. 1 Star overall for the use of SecuRom.

Far Cry 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Games
from: Ubisoft

October 21, 2008
I played this game a few weeks ago, then I looked at the reviews here and I am surprised at the bad response. (currently there are about 87 1 star)

The game has a lot of good points. There are flaws in the execution of the game, but for a rating, it must be compared to other recent games. It does not deserve a '1' star rating. I play a lot of PC games, I can say that while Far Cry 2 is not perfect, it is better than a lot of other games. It plays out something like the GTA series. The missions can be frustrating when you have to fight your way forward and back through the same locations you have already cleared, but that is the way the game was designed.

The game should not really have the 'Far Cry' name as you may expect the same story line or characters. ... Read More:

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Games
from: Blizzard

November 13, 2008
Hey everyone. I have been playing the regular version for a while now and while it disturbs me that I saw a level 80 on my server almost 2 days after the game came out it does say a lot for the game. It is fun in almost all respects. I have played to 71 right now and am about to split my account in half so I can get myself a death knight or whatever they are. I have eq and wow on my mind. Anyway it is a good time. If you dont have it yet, get it.

As to the lag issue. If you have dsl, you will lag on occasion and have a 200 to 2000 ms latency, if you have hughsnet like myself because of the boonies I live in you can count on 1000 to 2500 latency at the moment. If you have my brothers Alien computer on a connection that downloads at 1000 kps then you will have a 0 to ... Read More:

Call of Duty: World at War

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Games
from: Activision

November 11, 2008
HUH. It's really too bad that Treyarch didn't knock us off our feet with this one, because even with the same engine as COD4, they just can't top Infinity Ward... and yes, I'm probably going to compare this game to it's predecessor a lot. That's because everyone under the age of 35 either owns or has played COD Modern Warfare. However, I do thoroughly like the game, despite all its technical flaws. And believe me, there are plenty of flaws that NEED to be fixed, most that should have been ironed out before the game was even released.

First off, I would like to take a moment to explain the infamous "Black Screen of Death" (BSOD) that many have come across in the PC version of the game. From what I have read, there are a few different variations of the BSOD. I can only speak on behalf ... Read More:

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

Great, fun game. Especially for people new to MMORPG's. I'm relatively new to PC games and this is only the second one I've tried, but I'm having a lot of fun with it. The only other one I have to compare it to is Age of Conan.

The game is easy to play and you can get started rather quickly. I seemed to have also picked up the fighting much easier than in Conan. The game also runs better and I don't seem to have as many updates. The quests seem to go faster and it doesn't seem like I have to stay up as long as I did with Conan. Not that I'm not as addicted, but I'm able to find good places to stop.

Guild Wars: Eye Of The North - Expansion Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Games
from: NCsoft

August 28, 2007
I have both the Prophesies and Nightfall campaigns and those are both great, especially Nightfall, but by the time you get about half way through the Eye of the North it gets extremely hard and the missions/quests are insanely long. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to get through a dungeon. If and when you get to the boss at the end, you have to use some special method of defeating them, which you can't figure out unless you get to this boss at least once and be sure to do research online to find out what others have tried. Therefore the first time, you can be sure to get killed without finishing the quest (if not several times). This is extremely frustrating after putting in several hours. I also think the scenery in the dungeons is mostly repetitive rock, lava, ruins, etc.

To me this was ... Read More:
