World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Macintosh
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:

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Home & Student Edition

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Macintosh
from: Microsoft Software

January 15, 2008
I read reviews and checked out the mactopia site so I knew what I was getting. I was trying to decide between iWork and MS office because of the better pricing on iWork. At my office I use office 2007 on a pc and I needed to be able to continue working on Word documents at home. Office 2008 for Mac allows me to do this but because it lacks support for VBA some functions do not work on the mac product. It is a minor annoyance that I work around and the same goes for Excel. In the end it allows me to easily create study notes and write great looking documents that are easy to read. iWork says that it is compatible with Office but after trying the demo and using it to open word documents it could not carry over a good amount of formatting. MS office ... Read More:

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Special Media Edition

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Macintosh
from: Microsoft Software

January 15, 2008
I had read mixed reviews about MS Office for the Mac and was reluctant to install it on my MacBook Pro. As it turns out, my fears were unfounded. It does have a different look than the Windows version and takes a little getting used to . I am pleasantly surprised with the speed of the applications as I had read that it was a bit sluggish. Not the case at all. It is very zippy and the few docs and spreadsheets that I've experimented with have migrated back and forth between my Mac and PC with no problems, so far. I'm not sure that it is worth buying, however, if you already have IWorks on your Mac, since you can export all of your files to a PC from the iWork applications. In the end, I'll probably use the Office suite for my work applications ... Read More:

Spore

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Macintosh
from: Electronic Arts

September 07, 2008
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.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Macintosh
from: Adobe

August 15, 2008
I tried the previous version of Lightroom, but couldn't see much of an advantage over the free cataloging program that came with my Nikon cameras, so I uninstalled it.

This version is a different animal. I don't know whether to call it an image cataloging program with powerful image editor or an amazing image processing program with an intuitive cataloging feature.

Its library catalogs images across multiple drives with an enchantingly user-friendly interface. The enchanced previews allow you to sort the sharp from the not-quite-so-sharp at a glance. Keywording for a shoot can be accomplished in minutes thanks to the spray formatting feature. Enter or choose a group of words once, then apply them to multiple shots.

The program recognizes ... Read More:

VMware Fusion 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Macintosh
from: Smith Micro Software Inc.

October 05, 2008
I was a loyal PC user for nearly twenty years. Five years ago I bought one Mac "for home" and have never looked back. VM Ware has eliminated any residual rationale you might have for sticking with Windows. Think of it like a software nicotine patch.

Some day we may able to stick a wooden stake through the heart of Windows, but for now most of us are stuck with it. VM Ware has developed a way to minimize the pain and aggravation. The software paid for itself multiple times over within the first week when a service pack "upgrade" screwed up several of my core programs. No problem... just delete the virtual installation and roll back to the earlier clone.

I find the virtual environment especially helpful for testing new software without risking my main virtual Windows ... Read More:

The Oregon Trail, 5th Edition

from: The Learning Company


I don't know if I wasn't paying attention, or was just not informed. But this program doesn't work with macs even though it was used on the old apple2GS which is just a super old version of a mac. Don't get this if you have a mac!

This game can be called a beneficial game to play . Meaning in that it helps with people of all ages with developing problem solving and cognitive thinking;as well as being a fun game with great graphics as well. I have tried this before so I know what I was getting into and pretty much so have gotten pretty good at it.. I have played various puzzle games in the past. Dr Mario, Tetris. various online ones at pogo.com and such. I find this one to be the most interesting as it offers alotta variety and skill levels . From very simple to quite trying and complex . This game would be great too for children for helping develop those problem solving skills they will need later in life as well. Its great for adults for mind game type of games keeping the mind young, active etc. I recommend this game for anyone you ... Read More:
