Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
Back when I was younger, we had a game called “Breakout.” It involved moving a paddle to bounce a ball around on the screen; the ball broke down a wall of colored bricks. (It was also one of the first commercial designs of Steve Wozniak, the genius who invented the Apple ][ computer, but I digress.)
The game concep...(Read More)

I love these ball-bouncing games and the Ricochet series is the best of the litter. Many levels, all different, plus access to a bunch of user-written games, which will keep the player occupied for many hours. There are also different levels of difficulty, which I appreciate since my reaction time isn't what it on...(Read More)

This game is the bomb and a couple scud missles. I don't play games that often on the computer, but this one keeps me playing for hours. There is so much to do. So many puzzles. I've been playing for 2 months now and have barely scraped the surface. The level editor is nice. And if you wanna have some intense multip...(Read More)

Will Work on Windows Vista Too! A GUTSY MOVE BY Activision! GREAT MUST HAVE!
Reviewer Comments:
‘Fun:
Hi,
Call of Duty 4 is a fantastic game, from the single player to the multiplayer. I am mainly writing this review to clear up the misconception that Amazon is perpetrating that this game is only for Windows XP in order for you to buy the more expensive $59.99 version of this game. The back cover of the DVD case clearly says that this game is for Windows XP and Vista.

If truth be told, WWII had been done to death. Ever since the original CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN-3D, every war theater, every front, every battle has been done again and again. True, some more than others and, yes, a number of great games was produced. Yet, some game developers seem unable to stop whipping a very tired horse..
ACTIVISION proved it had the guts to break with the mol…(Read More)

THE BRAND NEW POSTAPOCALYPTIC DAWN IS NOW COMPLETE! Great game. One of the best ever. rated 4 stars alone
Reviewer Comments:
‘Fun:
I am old enough to have played the original game when it first came out in 1997. I was a great fan of the series that followed and, thus, was very eager to get my hands on this latest installment. In a short sentence: FALLOUT-3 is A DREAM COME TRUE! And now the dream is complete.
It is a cRPG game in which the player can alternate between the First and Third person perspecti…(Read More)
Fun:
Fallout 3 is just an amazing game in every respect. If you’re familiar with Bethesda’s other RPGs, you will have a fair idea of what to expect. It is an open world “sandbox” RPG with elements of a FPS. When it was released a year ago, Fallout fans somewhat derisively called it “Oblivion with guns”. Truth be told, on the surface, it is a very fair assessment of this game, …(Read More)
Fun:
Rated 4 stars alone but with the all the expansions (and including broken steel that like magic
wil make the games fantastic by adding 10 more levels and increasing the degree of difficulty a lot
from the beginning of the game not the expansions only) So you install all of them and start the
game from the very beginning and it becomes more difficult a lot faster. Stronger en…(Read More)

I started following this game about a month before it was released. I honestly wasn’t 100% sure what to think about it, some stuff just seemed like it wouldn’t be that great. But the game delivered for sure. I enjoyed it a lot.

It’s not often that a Game comes out and does something right. Borderlands mixes RPG with First Person Shooter, and it’s fun. The best thing about the PC version of this game is LAN Play, play with a friend off of ONE DISK!! That’s right, buy only one copy and you can play though LAN (not online) with 4 friends off of one copy of Borderlands. The only thing that will hamp…(Read More)

I got this title on launch day, and I have to force myself to stop playing it. It will be midnight, and I’ll say to myself “okay, I just need to do this one thing really quickly, then I’ll stop playing” and before I know it, it’s 3 in the morning again. So will you like it?
If you like First Person Shooters, you’ll love it. The control scheme feels like CoD. The gunplay is r…(Read More)

Darn good today, truly great tomorrow. One Of The Best PC Shooters Avaliable Check Your System Twice
Reviewer Comments:
‘I used to furrow my brow at the site of each new model of S-Class Mercedes, usually redone every 5 years or so. I can remember my father telling me that Mercedes designs cars to look good tomorrow, not today. He was right. With every model, like clockwork, after a year or so they’d start looking good, then great. My bet is Battlefield will be much like that. As truly fun as it is to play t…(Read More)

After having this game for a little over two months now, I still have not even begun to get bored by it. The maps are big enough that you can always find a new hiding place or shortcut. The truly great thing about this game is that it is easy to just jump in and start playing, but as you start getting more involved in the battle you start to discover new things. The path of d…(Read More)

FANTASTIC Game Ignore the nay-sayers. BFME is fun, strategic, and beautiful BFME delivers most of what you expect from an RTS
Reviewer Comments:
‘Fun:
EDIT**: I’ve been playing the game for several days now, and I can say that it has lived up to all of my expectations (see preview below). While you can’t control as mnay troops as in Rome:Total War (we may need to look for a LOTR mod in the future), BFME has its own little niche, and it’s a very nice one at that. Inevitably the comparison to RTW will be made, but these are…(Read More)

Before receiving Battle For Middle Earth this Christmas Eve (gotta love that darling girlfriend), I had read quite a few dismal reviews for it. In case you’ve read the same BS, I’m going to attempt to clear some things up for you so the nay-sayers don’t bump you away from a great game. So…. The biggest complaints people have had about BFME are:

Best *MULTIPLAYER* ww2 game I’ve ever played Best Collection Ever Simply awesome!
Reviewer Comments:
‘Fun:
This is IT for MULTIPLAYER ww2 FPS gaming. BF1942 is NOT, nor was it ever intended to be, a single player game (nor was bfVietnam). I prefer the ww2 genre to the modern stuff, so perhaps that’s why I still like good old bf1942 and bfVietnam over bf2, halo, etc…
The graphics are great, there are still several servers to play on, the official sites along w/patches are stil…(Read More)
Fun:
This game is the best collection ever! You get the 2002 game of the year battlefield 1942, and it’s two great expansions,Battlefield 1942, The Road to Rome, And Battlefield 1942, Secret Weapons of WWII. And you also get Battlefield Vietnam, which is my favorite, where you can drive and fly vehicles,from the Vietnam era, while listening to music from the Vietnam era. These gam…(Read More)
Fun:
Winner of “Game of the Year” when it came out this is still a thrilling and well made first person shooter with a twist. You are a soldier in WWII and must seize and hold bases to win each battle. Less interesting is the buggy “Battlefield Vietnam” included here for free (which is still too expensive). Ignore it and focus on BF1942 which is fun in single play and even be…(Read More)

What’s so great about Halo? Halo is quite possibly one of the best games ever!!! Halo: The finest video game of all time.
Reviewer Comments:
‘If you were like me, then you have heard about what a great game Halo is, but you couldn’t figure out what was so great about it or what made it so special. It first glance, it looks so ordinary. You look at the box and see that you are fighting a bunch of aliens with laser guns and assault rifles. Sounds like a cliche doesn’t it? But what is so great about this game is that it is just real…(Read More)

A year or so ago I was introduced to the Xbox and one of the games I got was Halo. At the time I didn’t know much about it and I certainly didin’t know how to play it but after 1 day of playing I LOVED THIS GAME!! First of all the graphics are surburb! Very realistic environements with basically no limits unlike a lot of games that will cut you off if your going in the wrong …(Read More)
I had heard the buzz about Halo for the Xbox for a while but never really investigated the game until I played it at a friend’s house. The next day I bought an Xbox and Halo and have been hooked ever since. As with the legendary game Half Life, it is the story as well as the game play that makes Halo great. I found the characters in the game to be very well developed, the weaponry outstanding a…(Read More)
