Guild Wars

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: NCsoft

April 28, 2005
Guild wars is a lot of fun to play, and even look at! The graphics are top notch and the gameplay is smooth and fun. The system requirements for this game are VERY low. You should hardly need to upgrade anything (i noticed a bit of a RAM problem, but i was running vista with 512 MB so 1 GB more did the trick) and you'll probably get more out of the game then it cost you. It updates often, and, best of all, it's not a "World Of Warcraft". They "Axed" the subscription fees, so you can play... and play... and play... and keep playing. The game is very great and I recommend it for anybody into fantasy MMO's.

Zoo Keeper

This is the same principle as Bejeweled 2. Moving tiles to make 3 or more in a row. Instead of jewels they are animals. When you match 3 as they burst and fly off they make cute faces. There are also different twists on the game to play which is nice. With Bejeweled it's just the same thing on and on and while that can be addicting I know I have it on my PC you do tire of it. This at least has more options.

I had to wait 5 weeks for this to come in so get it when you see it in stock as it takes a long time for the supplier to get more to Amazon. It is also a great price as most DS games are twice the price.

Some of the music in the background drives me crazy on a few games so I just turn it off others are okay. Overall ... Read More:

Madden NFL 08 DVD

from: Electronic Arts

I have enjoyed the PC version of Madden NFL for many years. I am quite disappointed they have discontinued the PC version.

Madden NFL 08 is very fun to play. Play calling is simple and direct. Game play is smooth and fast. Both offensively and defensively there are multiple audible options after a play has been called. The playbooks and audibles are highly customizable.

The graphics are nice at the highest settings. There are multiple graphics levels which helps improve game speed if you have a slower PC.

Owner mode is fun as well. Building and improving a team through the draft and free agency is entertaining. One complaint about the draft - you have a limited number of scouting attempts. So you can't ... Read More:

I've used Printmaster Platinum for years. It was nice to have many of the same tools (that I know so well) plus a huge amount of images to select from. I'm happy with this purchase.

Saitek Eclipse Backlit Keyboard - Red LED ( PZ30AUR )

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Saitek


I definitely think this is a good keyboard for those who want an awesome illuminated keyboard, but don't really want to spend lots of money. The keys are easy to type with and the glow is just right. For sure the Red is better than the blue. I recommend it :) Works fine for me and I do a lot of writing.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Atari

November 07, 2006
I have run all 3 versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon and this last version takes all the problems and glitches that were in the first release. It also has combined the two expansion packs (Wild and Soaked) onto the same disc so all games are installed at the same time.

A work of caution though. This is a very high end graphic and memory heavy game. You really need a top line machine with lots of Ram memory, a fast processor and a high end graphics card with lots of memory and very fast screen rendering. If you try to run this on a standard system it will slow down as you add rides and scenery to the point where it's impossible to use. And it doesn't run with Windows Vista. XP Pro is the best version to run this game on.

Rosetta Stone Version 3: Spanish (Latin America) Level 1 & 2 Set with Audio Companion

June 16, 2008
I felt I was getting "too old" to learn a new language but like magic, after 6 weeks of courses I was able to communicate easily on a recent trip to Spain. A bit frustrating at times with the pronunciations of words and I have gotten a few "giggles" from my Latin friends, but I'm still learning. Save your dollars up and then go with this quality set!

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Microsoft

January 13, 2004
I had bought this as an upgrade to an earlier version. It is fun to play with, though quite basic compared to what is available nowadays. It does not require too much of system resources and provides hours of entertainment and some flight learning.
