I don't know why I waited so long
This is a fun game. Weapons, enemies, and environments are imaginative and seriously twisted. Portals and gravity play make for some interesting puzzles too.

F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon

221 reviews

Windows | Sierra, 2005

F.E.A.R. Indeed
F.E.A.R. is an FPS, and it does a fine job at that. Next, it's a scary/horror kind of psychological thriller. And the storyline, well, who plays FPS for story line? Although yes, the story line is decent or better. PROS: Visuals: Mind you, this game was made in 2005, but even now, 2,3,4 years later, the game still looks good. The slow-mo Max Payne kind of thing, looks absolutely great. The ...

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic

Windows | Ubisoft, 2006

Great fun I just wish it lasted longer!
This is an awesome game. The graphics are fantastic and the game play is great too. I only have two complaints. 1) I wish the game was longer or you could add expansion packs to continue game play. 2) I wish that the game could store multiple gamer profiles like Halo. As it is, 1 player has to complete the game before an other player can start. Other than that, I can't say enough good stuff ...

Quicken 2008 Starter Edition [First-Time Users Only]

27 reviews

Windows | Intuit, 2007

Easy to use software, but connecting with your bank can be complicated - but that's not quicken's fault
As this is only the "starter version" one could not merely export the data from the website in Quicken format and then import it into Quicken. If your online bank does not put the data into this Quicken's 2008 format it will not import it. That's why its called a "starter version", so heads up to those of you who usually import data to update quicken. HOWEVER... Quicken is set up to ...

Windows | Activision, 2007

Wow!
I am a gamer but I have a narrow preference for the type of games I play, mainly Star Trek and MOHAA and COD4 LOL. I thought there was a problem with my new 8800 GS video card because I couldn't stay up with the other players in online play. But I realized that my eye and hand coordination had to catch up with the graphics of this game,and when they did, after playing for several hours, I felt ...

Reader Rabbit I Can Read With Phonics 1st and 2nd Grade

10 reviews

Macintosh, Windows | The Learning Company, 2001

works fine on XP
Another reviewer here claims that I can Read With Phonics does not install easily on Microsoft Windows XP. NOT TRUE! I have XP and every Reader Rabbit game works perfectly on it. I own just about everyone out there, and my son (age 5) is a great fan of the reader rabbit software. This game does an excellent job of teaching reading and phonics in a fun way. If you have a child ready to learn ...

Reader Rabbit Learn to Read With Phonics

Macintosh, Windows | The Learning Company, 2001

4 year old loves it!
My four YO grandson tried this out for the first time last night. His words "I LOVE my new game!" I was impressed with how easy he was pulled into the activities and the sense of acomplishment he had when matching sounds to letters and listening to the sounds and matching to words. The L sound is weird though. Doesnt sound right but for everything else it is great.

Windows | Electronic Arts, 2007

Good platform
This game is good for people who are looking for some competition and a challenge.. the single player is basically a simulation of multi player (counter strike) but is either way too easy or the ai is unpredictable and dont help with getting good.. plus it gets old after a while... multiplayer amazing, great shooter and easy to get used to

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
Two decades after the infamous Chernobyl accident, there was a further disaster. Witnesses - those that survived - added to a scramble of unreliable versions of events. All that is known for sure is that the Zone is real, and that it is expanding. Years later, a man is nearly killed when an explosion tips his truck. The unconscious man, marked with the word S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on his forearm, ...

Good Game , though the game is a bit buggy and many items in the game are not in real time,the developers need some real time behind some real weapons before they try to make a game,overall it was a good game,needs work hawk1234

Wonderful reading cd-rom!
My 7 year old daughter goes to a reading tutor, who recommended this CD-Rom and uses it with her students. My 7 year old loves it, and so does my 5 year old. I would highly recommend Reader Rabbit 1st Grade.

Windows, Mac OS X, Mac OS 9 and below | Knowledge Adventure, 2005

Educational entertainment for the kids!!!
My daughter "begged" to have this program after she used it at school and it's become a favorite of my 4 year-old son as well. It builds basic skills by helping children to explore one step at a time, and encourages learning with graphics, enchanting characters, and storylines that keep them coming back for more. IMHO, this was a product well worth buying.

Great software!
We've had good luck with Jumpstart learning products in the past, so it was a no brainer buying this, and we're very impressed with how far the graphics have come! My 6 and 5 year old have such a great time trying to earn gems to buy different things, as well as winning trophies and keys for completing tasks. They are in head to head competition over who can get through the levels first, and ...

Macintosh, Windows | The Learning Company, 2001

Great learning game!
My children loved the adventure game so much that they were willing to do the math required to solve the puzzles. It made a great review for them to use over the summer. They even wanted to play the game again after finishing it the first time. They have loved Reader Rabbit so much that they play "bad pie rats" and "bunny games" when they build hideouts. Somehow, Reader Rabbit has become ...
