Dora The Explorer: Dance to the Rescue (PC)

Advantages: Available in all various formats across the world
Disadvantages: Unfortunately UNO is a card game that cannot be played alone as a single player like many normal card games

...UNO the number one family game from the United States has become so popular that now it is available in lots of various guises across the world and you can even get computer/console versions of it as well. Other versions that have "spun off" from the original include "UNO MADNESS,UNO DOMINOES,UNO STACKO,UNO ELECTRONIC,UNO EXTREME,UNO BLITZO, UNO DICE " & many many more including various childrens themed editions such as: "SIMPSONS,DISNEY,TOY STORY,DORA THE EXPLORER,HARRY POTTER,SESAME STREET,BARBIE,SPIDERMAN,SHREK 2 & the CARE BEARS". These are only a few and there are many more if you look hard enough. I think that this variety and keeping up with the latest trends is what helps UNO appeal to all different age groups from all different backgrounds.

Advantages: Loads of things to do
Disadvantages: Usualy end up with 3 strong characters and the rest weak

...get to assign points to attack defence health and MP (magic points) now unlike most games assign points to attack and defence doesnt increase these stats instead it changes how that character acts in battle when controled by the computer e.g. more points in attack they attack more. the other feature I like about the battle system is that the computer will remeber how you play with a character and when they have control of that character they will act pretty much the same. so for instance if you always heal when characters are low on HP so will the computer. some of the other extras in the game include inventing where you can creat your own items which are often better than those you can buy, map exploration where you get rewards for exploring the whole map, as well as a beat-em up style mini game that you can play when you find the correct...

Advantages: Great story and graphics, loads of rpg type options, variety of mission types, very involving
Disadvantages: Needs a modern PC to run well, basic combat system, glitchy in places

...When I first heard about this game (a couple of months ago) I rushed out and bought it, only to find that my PC was not quite good enough to run it at its best. So I upgraded my old geforce 3 to a geforce 5600 fx. My processor is an Athlon 2600+. This made the game run smoothly. I find that these games are the best type. They make you think, they give you choices, and they get you involved. This game begins by letting you choose your type of character, which vampire do you want to be? You can choose from a number of different clans. Throughout the game the story will involve lots more detail into the different roles these clans have and how they came to be. After watching the initial cutscene where you are rescued from execution to become a slave of the vampire prince, you must learn how a vampire lives, and blends in with humans. It... Read review
