Casper: The Magical Toy Store (PC)

Toy Story: One for the children.

Advantages: Good gameplay, alright graphics, fun for the kids.
Disadvantages: Unmemorable music, will become quickly boring to adults.

Age Rating: 3+ Around £3 - £5 on Ebay.co.uk. Minimum Requirements: Double Speed (2x) CD-ROM Drive. 486DX2-66MHz or faster processor. 8MB of available RAMC12MB recommended. 10MB free disk space. Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 or later (Windows 95 compatible). 8-bit sound card. 256 colour Vesa, Pci or other local bus video. (There is no multi-player) I'm sure everyone's seen or at least heard of Disney's Toy Story movie which is about toys coming to life when the humans are not around. This is a video game following the storyline and creating fun levels to play. I'd had bought this years ago when I was younger and had promptly given up after becoming stuck on one of the earlier levels, four to six years later and a pound sign next to the title on Ciao! (It's all about the money) I'm loading up the game on my laptop ...

Magically Mighty!

Advantages: Awesome graphics, some nice new features
Disadvantages: Some of the changes from HOMM IV aren't for the better, GLITCHES!!

Those who read my previous review on Heroes of Might and Magic (HOMM) IV, will know that I'm a big fan of the series and have been since I was introduced to HOMM 2 several years back. Well, some time after the release of HOMM IV I noticed that it was no longer on the shelves in shops (not too much of a problem as I already owned it by then), with the apparent reason being that the makers 3DO had gone bust. This left me to mourn the end of my favourite series of PC games, but, after all hope had long since vanished, Ubisoft picked up where 3DO left off and have now released HOMM V. WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT THEN? HOMM is set in a world of swords and sorcery and fantastical creatures. Throughout the series the aim had been, essentially, to guide a hero or heroes around an adventure map, picking up resources and battling free ...

Review of Heroes of Might and Magic V (PC)

More Dusk of Magic than Dawn

Advantages: Many flashy magic spells and tweaking abilities
Disadvantages: Bizarre, weird and will be boring after awhile

The Story (taken from the box cover) : An immortal named Modo has been sent to live a full mortal life on earth as punishment for his crimes in the Absolute, the realm of the afterlife. Angered by this humiliation, the mortal Modo is determined to not only reclaim all his previous power, but gain enough strength to destroy the Earth once and for all, so that he may never be punished in such a base way again. As the story's hero, the player must stop Modo's heinous plans and ultimately destroy him, or aid Modo in his quest to annihilate the Earth.... A "Diablo" like action RPG type of game where players will encounter hordes of demons or monsters on his/her own, but aside of bashing them to death with weapons, as the tittle says... Magic is the hero/heroine main weapon. At the beginning of the game players can ...
