Grimm's Hatchery [Game Download] Review


See more picture


Grimms Hatchery is a great casual game that keeps me coming back. I enjoy games like Sims, Spore, Okami, Ratchet and Clank, which are great, but very involved, complex. Grimms has action and strategy; the levels consist of the farm areas where the animals are taken care of and eggs are collected, and the town areas - where eggs and animals are sold and supplies can be purchased. The object of the game is to earn 300,000 in 70 days in order to reclaim the throne from your brother, Lord Boras. The gameplay is pretty relaxed (less frantic than Farm Frenzy-type games, but much more action than my favorite, Fairy Godmother Tycoon). You can have as many or as few creatures as you'd like, but it takes a while to figure out how many you can keep feeding while still making money. I'd love to see a sequel to this game with slightly better graphics and humor.

Grimm's Hatchery [Game Download] Feature

Loved game on Windows not having luck in Vista - Mother of 2 - Oneonta, NY, USA
I purchased this game a couple of years ago and it worked excellent on our older computer running on Windows XP, loved the graphics and music, the levels are challenging and the various eggs and animals are fun to figure out which ones match up to get your new eggs and animals. My seven year old son also really enjoyed playing the game as well. I purchased a new computer with windows Vista and have been working with the company I purchased the game from (iwin) and it has been a couple of weeks and we are still having trouble getting the graphics to show up. Looks like XP works really well and I suggest you try this game but if you have Vista check into it before spending money you might not be able to use. I really hope they come out with a second version that will work on Vista. Have fun!!

Virtual Families [Game Download]

Virtual Families [Game Download] Review


See more picture


I'm not a big game player, but this game was in a package that came with my new computer. I needed some serious down time, so I played for one evening. (OK, it was several hours!) I was able to play this, watch TV, converse with friends, keep an eye on a toddler, and eat a slice of pizza without missing a beat. Yep, it's that simple.br /br /I do believe that if Virtual Family was all that I was doing, I would have quit after 30 minutes or so. The big plus is that it goes in "real time." That's also the big problem if you are looking for a bit more excitement -- more happening. In essence, Virtual Family was fun while it lasted.br /br /However, as my friends suggested, I'm moving on to a game with richer play experience. But make no mistake, this is a really fun and relaxing game that is perfect for all ages. There's nothing offensive here, and it is tremendously cute!

Virtual Families [Game Download] Feature

  • Fully Trainable People.

Buy the Sims instead - B. Smart - Oklahoma
If you like this type of game, save your money and get the Sims instead. This game kept me entertained for about 2 weeks. Then I realized there's really nothing more to do once you get all the goals accomplished. You can play the Sims for years and still have fun and it still stays exciting.

2 out of 4 aint bad - Curtis J. Maloy - Ozark, AL
Peoples General and Team Apache make this collection worth buying. They outweigh the other 2 games. I loved playing these two games for hours and hours. The graphics for Peoples General are great and the AI for it is at least 1/2 way challenging. I know the games are dated, but if you are tired of playing FPS then these two games are the way to go.br /br /The other games can be used as decoration at Christmas time.

Nice strategy - Jacob Lewis - Studio City, CA United States
Steel Panthers is probably one of the best strategy games to date. While People's General is not exactly at the same level, it is a good deel for the price you are getting it at. The other two games really round up this collection and I would recommend it to anyone.

Scenic Railway: add-on for Microsoft Train Simulator

Scenic Railway: add-on for Microsoft Train Simulator Review

The landscape is very well done with lots of scenery items to look at. The layout of the track is excellent and provides for a whole lot of switching action. There are several long grades to test your skill at speed control. I had no problems installing or using the program. The only downside is that there is only one type of locomotive included. You get several road numbers, but they are all sd40's. The cab is a basic rework of the default gp-38. The sound is well done also. Overall an excellent product.

Scenic Railway: add-on for Microsoft Train Simulator Feature

  • Create beautiful valleys and rolling hills that people can just sit back and wath as they roll past
  • Add any number of trees, rock formations, and other sorts of natural beauty
  • Add quaint country villages, farms, ranches and animals from the farm or from the wild
  • You'll design the kind of train trip people never forget with this fun new add-on!

Signals lacking - JB Friedland - Rochester, NY
While this small railroad is a good starter, with some interesting, unchallanging activites...the fact is that this is basically a one track system with passing sidings and there is NO signalling, which makes opposing traffic impossible. The package is unrealistic and lacks elements that are likely to make this something which will be used for more than a short time.pOne aspect that might interest some users; due to its small size it is relatively easy to create your own activities and even modify the track system using the tools provided by Microsoft with your train simulator program purchase.

Better routes available for free - Dan Monihan - Newton, MA United States
There's some interesting scenery here but on the whole this route and the rolling stock are far inferior to most of the freeware routes available on the internet. Go to train-sim.com and look around. There are also much better payware routes, made by people who truly care about trains. Check out Sandpatch, Cajon Pass, Protrains 2 and many others.

This is a great expansion pack, but amazon has it priced at least .00 over the "real" price. Don't be ripped off! These expansion packs are normally around .00 It has neat kids room accessories and great stuff for the house. One of the neatest things is that now you can dress your little girl in a victorian night gown, to go along with the fairytale bedroom set. There are also some "kids" things you can use to decorate an adults room as well. It also has a lot of "adult" accessories for the house.

iiThe Sims 2/i: Family Fun Stuff/i is an expansion pack that requires the complete iSims 2/i game in order to play. In iThe Sims 2/i, like The Sims before it, which quickly grew to be on of the most popular PC games of all time, you create one or more autonomous characters (sims) with distinct personalities and needs. You then create a virtual household for your sims, deciding whether they're roommates, spouses, or parents, and you move them into a pre- or custom-built house and neighborhood. table align=right width=200 cellpadding=10trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/software/detail-page/sims2ffs-2-sm.jpg" border=1 align=topbrbrsmallibTurn your sims into dragons, princesses, pirate captains, and more with the new costumes.

While sims still have specific personality types determined by their horoscopes and adjustable individual characteristics, such as neatness, niceness, and playfulness, they now have some notable new features, such as memories, genetics, aging, and the new aspiration/fear system. When creating a family, you can now have the game randomly generate children based on their parents' appearance and personality, though you can still edit these children. You can choose to re-create a real-life couple or family to see what kind of genes get handed down from generation to generation. Or you can experiment by interjecting the DNA from an alien into the family tree, as iThe Sims 2/i includes the ability to create aliens from outer space and even marry them off to your more outlandish sims family members. p The Family Fun Stuff expansion pack lets you add a whole new selection of furniture, clothing, and home decor to your iSims 2/i characters' world.

Not many items in this "stuff" pack. . . - JJ - USA
First of all, this is a "stuff" pack, NOT an expansion pack. A "stuff" pack basically adds new items to the game and DOES NOT change gameplay at all. That being said, this pack doesn't have too much "stuff." It has 3 outfits for men, women, teens, and children. All the outfits are this floral-print, Hawaiian type clothing that isn't that great. The items mostly consist of things for kid's rooms. You can now give kid's rooms a theme like "Under the Sea" or "Medieval Castle." There are a few decorative items such as a globe or a ship in a bottle, but there aren't that many. These are mainly the only things this pack adds to the game. They aren't that bad, but this pack shouldn't cost as much as it does. If you really want the before mentioned items, pay no more than for this game, but I recommend you pass up this "stuff" pack.

The Sting

The Sting Review

I just received this game yesterday and have already played it for several hours. It reminds me of the old computer games where you had to type in each action in the right sequence to get the hero to rescue someone or get the treasure. There is one very significant difference...In this game you are allowed to scroll forward and backward if you wish to change a move once you start recording your robbery sequences. I have not committed that many robberies in the game yet, but I can see that it will be very addictive. I would definitely advise anyone to try this game out if they are 13 or older. It is a little bit hard at first because each robbery only has so much that you can take. Oh, one or two hints, (1) Always scope out the robbery sites through every window that you can because that will ultimately help you figure out how much loot to take. (2) There are many interesting characters in this game to help you when you start committing the larger robberies, so be on the lookout for them. Talk to everyone on the street that you can. It will help you in the end.

The coolest robbery game - Keith Oratz - Redmond, WA USA
In this robbery game you are a recently released robbery convict. Your friend has just gotten arrested for trying to rob the Ministry of Light( you can rob that later). You get a car and can get tools, such as drills, crowbars, and more.You can also get accomplices, such as Bruno, who is your friend, a clown, and many more. You can use accomplices and tools to help you rob places. These places include a bank, a mausoleum, a greenhouse, and many more! You can steal cash and items! Best of all, since you record your robberies, if you mess up, e.g. trip a switch or get in a guards line of sight, you can back up and record again, over the messed up part. This is a great game for all ages. There is no blood or fighting, just get in, rob, get out!

Very good gameplay, but nonetheless very patchy and flawed - Billy Eaton - Australia
The gameplay itself was very good, but this game is so full of glitches and bugs it's not funny. I have a relatively new computer with 2GB of RAM, a 256 MB Video Card and a 2 GHz processor, and the game still freezes up at random and is very slow. br /I actually very much liked the changes made from previous versions. It was different but I found it gave me much more control over my city than previous versions, and a far greater ability to scape my city to my liking.br /Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is outweighed by the many glitches it has. I had incredible trouble installing it, and when I began playing the game it froze after 15 minutes, requiring me to eject the disc and reboot my Computer.br /Overall, I would say this game is not worth the money unless you are incredibly patient and cool-headed. It's a real pity this game was so well designed and thought out, but so full of bugs and flaws at the same time.

Freespace / Silent Threat Bundle (Jewel Case)

Freespace / Silent Threat Bundle (Jewel Case) Review


See more picture


I bought this game at Wal-Mart and I took it home and I was blown away by the details and realisim. I was happy that the game was based off of the Pentium 133 megahertz chip since that is what is in my system. Back to the game, The Great War DISKS! were the best games I ever played for PC. You start out as a fresh piliot and your first missions are traineing, so you get used to the controls. I DID NOT HAVE A JOYSTICK!!! BUT IT WORKED ANYWAY WITH THE NUMBERPAD ON THE KEYBOARD!!!! A joystick would be great but I beat it without one. A great feature was the ability to comunicate with your wingmen. The game has an extremely large amount of laser cannons, missiles, bombs, fighters, and bombers. There are three species in the game; Terrans (Humans), Vasudans, and the mysterious Shivans. The game starts out with you in the middle of a 14 year war (THE GREAT WAR, DUH!) but then a peace treaty is signed because the Shivans come roughing everyone up. But the game is still great. Silent Threat is an expansion pack that puts you at the end of the great war CD. You are a different piliot becuase the great war ends with you bustin up a Shivan destroyer that was gonna kill Sol (Earth). But you find out in Silent Threat that the piliots who killed that ship and saved (Earth) got stuck there because the explosion cause a cataclismic shut down of the only jump node to Sol that you skip through galaxies with. But in Silent Threat, you are working for the Terrans but you are part of the intel, black-ops squad. You go behind enemy lines to do the dangerous stuff. But now, that you are bored with me ramble, here are thebrHighs and LowspHighsbrLots of missions, ships, and weponsbrUnparralled detailsbrLots of repaly valuebrGREAT price and valuepLowsbrOccasionaly FrustratingbrYa know, thats about it:-)

Freespace / Silent Threat Bundle (Jewel Case) Feature

  • Over 40 new missions created by both the developer and fans
  • 40 different spacecraft to choose
  • Four new weapons to use
  • For 1 to 12 players using LAN or Internet
As the Great War rages on, you have been commissioned by the GTI (Galactic Terrain Intelligence) for special intelligence operations. In a matter of national security, you have been asked to go behind enemy lines in order to preserve the fragile space treaty. However, you'll soon discover that the GTI has other purposes in its mind.

My review for the Silent Threat Expansion Pack - Maria Celebi -
Silent Threat is overall satisfying expansion pack. It does feel a little cut, though. br /The missions themselves are an interesting variety of the normal Freespace missions, and you get to do "silence all rebels" sort of missions. They still tie them into the overall plot of Freespace quite well though, so they aren't lacking.br /br /On mission design, DESPITE what others have said, the last mission is possible. Hard, yes, but any self-respecting Freespace player can do it. I'm not ashamed to say that for my first try, I lowered the difficulty; though once you get then hang of it you can do harder difficulties. (Hint: try loading yourself with harbingers, and half the other pilot's fighters. If you have them engage the enemy fighters and cover you, you're fine) br /br /The team at volition also added a couple of new weapons and ships, and they're well balanced. The Zeus bomber in particular is nice. br /br /So, why do I say it could've been better? The campaign needed a bit more length. The ending didn't seem concrete, and it felt as if I should be going on to my next mission. Even just 2-3 more missions would've given it an OK ending.br /br /Still, this is still a great expansion pack to an even greater game... 4.5 out of 5, 5 out of 5 if they had more missions...br /br /

everything about it - - NC
yea the game plays good (not like those stupid mercinary games that you always find like tachyon your actually a pilot)graphics are extremely good expesually for 4 a 1998 game wide variety of strenghts and weaknesses in fighters and not so hard you cant beat 2nd mission (everyone knows a game like that somewhere) and by the way the 15 year old war with the vasudans was called the terran vasudan war the war with the shivans though was the great war also this game carries a mission creator named fred though hard to find all you have to do is go to search for files and folders and look for fred then make a shortcut of the icon that starts fred and place the shortcut on your desktop (and a helpful thing ctrl click on the map to add more ships)
