World Wide Soccer Manager 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Sega of America

November 18, 2008
One of the biggest time traps of all time. This game will suck you in and spit you out hours later, you will jump for joy as you draw Man U at home and then cry next week when you lose to a relegation team. 09's AI is extremely intelligent and gone are the days where one uses the same formation and tactic through an entire season, now you literally have to make changes almost every 15 minutes. With plenty of new features and a flawless game engine, this game is the best [........] you will ever spend.

BioShock

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: 2K Games

August 21, 2007
This game is so different to others, graphics are not so great, but are very good. I like history, but gameplay is a little difficult, ammo is so hard to find and even, it have to be bought from machines.

Installing is a little complicated too, installation requires online activation, I tried too many times to do that, but error messages appears, I had to do it manually by sending an email to securom.com

Overall, Bioshock is great, I recommend it !!! But, make sure you have all PC requirements, they are so high.

Mac OS X Version 10.5.4 Leopard

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Apple

June 12, 2007
I decided to solve the problem "network setting have been changed by another program", received after I installed a recent Mac security update, with an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. I had exhausted the possibilities offered by the Mac Fix It forum, and I had not been able to access the internet for a long time. Apple, it seems, has not offered a fix.

Leopard installed easily, and I did a custom install, choosing to not install printer drivers, non-English languages, and a Unix module, saving myself 5 or so gigs of space. The dial up internet is now working great, and surfing on the Web is much faster than with Windows XP, with many less problems. I also installed the recent 10.5.5 update.

Spore Creepy and Cute Parts Pack

I bought this for $5 And that is about right for what you get. You get a few more parts to play with. Now I can make even more creatures! I wanted access to a score of creatures people have to share online. I got that too.

I don't know what EA was thinking charging $20 for this parts pack. Even more silly are the people who bought it at that price.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2009

Software does not work correctly with Windows Vista. Terrible tech support! Tried multiple times to get fix and finally gave up in frustration. Tech support rep kept sending emails for problems that I did not have. I would not recommend this software to anyone.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir Expansion

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Atari

November 18, 2008
While I love RPG games, I must admit that NWN/NWN2 were not my most favorite. I got this one to run online with family. It has an interesting story line and I like the communication changes from char to char with in the party. However the load screens that come up are just killer. I would say so far I have spent 40% of my time playing, and 60% of my time waiting on load screens. If your one for hack and slash like me, this game probably isn't for you. Running from battle to battle means jumping in and out of load screens that will put anyone to sleep. The camera angle quite honesly sucks. I find myself seeing just how fast I can move my mouse to the edge of the screen and back to center to attempt to keep moving in generally the same direction. Many times ... Read More:

The Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Electronic Arts

November 17, 2008
I've tried to build large homes for my Sims, complete with fancy gardens. I always failed. I was never able to make the grand staircases or have really nice gardens, but now, thanks to this new stuff pack, I can do just that!

I have all the stuff packs and expansions and I'll say this is one of the better ones. You get plenty of new elements, including the grand staircases and gardening items, plus lots of architechal gew-gaws, like stone lions and faries and the like.

Also you get three new themes; Morocan, Second Empire and Art Deco. Ever wanted to copy a painted lady house? Now you can! Want to recreate a Morocon pleasure palace? You'll have everything but the eunuchs!

The gardening stuff isn't quite what I'd wanted, but ... Read More:

Microsoft Outlook 2007

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Software
from: Microsoft Software

I've been using Outlook daily (if not hourly) for 10+ years. It's a great program.

I bought Outlook 2007 because I recently bought Office 2007 (Word, PowerPoint, Excel), and I found that my Outlook 2003 could not use Word 2007 as its email editor.

I kept Word 2003 for that purpose, but Outlook 2003 was constantly confused with Word 2003 and Word 2007 on the same machine. I had to reboot lots of times, unnecessarily.

Outlook 2007 can use Word 2007 as its email editor, and this is a helpful function. I've now deleted Outlook 2003 and Word 2003, and everything works as it should.

Pros: Outlook 2007 seems to load quicker and has a better search function. The calendar has changed somewhat, but it's not necessarily ... Read More:

Bottom line this is a great game. for those other posts that say it is broken with no end in sight....yes there are other people out there that agree with you, but they are haters as well...they are the normal mmo surfers. they will play lord of the rings online, everquest, tabularasa, age of conan and warhammer online and never truly be anygood at there charecter...now the common argument is "well i have # of 70's" well the reason for that is they got into a good guild that took them under there wing thinking they where gonna be a legitament addition then they just up and quit after they leeched other peoples help. they complain that there is no customer service because they dont respond to messages and the game is getting to easy...for one every post i have put in has ...
