A great experience, if you can pardon the plot.

Advantages: Great visuals, gameplay and soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Weak story, no online support.

...at some point. Introduction Torchlight is a brand new role-playing game which has been in the works for quite some time now. It was created by Runic Games and has had help from two much respected designers; Max Schaefer and Travis Baldree. Max Schaefer is best known for working with Blizzard on games such as Diablo and it’s equally successful sequel. Baldree hails from Wildtangent, a small development company which made an extremely popular ...
...in the business of RPG’s; Torchlight had a lot to live up to. The question is…does it do the genre justice in the already crowded catalogue of Diablo clones? Story Correct me if I’m wrong, but most people don’t play these kinds of games for the story. Sure, the Diablo series had a somewhat interesting plot, but it was never it’s main focus. Torchlight is no different. The story is thrown at you in huge chunks of text, with little to no animation ...

Your Own Perfect World

Advantages: Clear and stunning graphics, flexible character stats building
Disadvantages: You need a video card with high speed transfer rates to enjoy the game's full graphics

...feel and experience your own perfect world. I have been playing this multiplayer online role-playing game for almost two years and still enjoying it more and more. Perfect World is set in the world of Pangu where three major tribes, Humans, Winged Elves and Werebeasts coexist. It is a world of magic and high fantasy featuring the Chinese creation myth as its backdrop and leveraging on a rich and diverse oriental setting which I think makes it different ...
...purpose of protecting the characters. Perfect World also gives you a chance to set up your ideal appearance in-game unlike other online games that allows only limited characters customization when it comes to the characters physical appearance. During game play, you can actually make new friends by using the Buddy Network. The Buddy Network not only displays a list of your online buddies, it also has Instant Messaging features whereby you can chat ...

A great sports game if you like keyboard bashing

Advantages: good graphics, seems a fun and interesting premise
Disadvantages: the amount of keyboard bashing, lack of pc friendliness, frustrating!

Initially after seeing this game on the shelf I thought it would be a pretty good game. I've always liked sports games such as the Olympics and had such fun playing the old Winter and Summer games back in the day. However I soon found out this game has a lot of issues. Firstly whilst it is a PC game it expects you to have a Xbox for Windows controller. Now who in their right mind would think you would need that? I for one didn't and although I changed ...
...One very good example is when you are playing a gymnastic game and it expects you to press coloured keys in combination. How the hell are you going to achieve that feat?! It seemed to me to be absolutely ridiculous. Now I considered buying a Xbox controller till I read the reviews (which werent good) which said even with one the majority of the challenges are incredibly difficult. I was only playing on competition setting and hadn't even tried the ...

Review of Beijing 2008 (PC)

With Freetime you can really give your sims a hobby

Advantages: new objects, new aims, new gameplay
Disadvantages: can run quite slow on low spec computers, annoying animations

The sims 2 Freetime gives your simmies the chance to pursue their hobbies and become masters in their fields. For example you choose one main hobbie sector for them to major in so to say for example Arts and Crafts or gaming and then you will follow all the actions related to this. For example arts and crafts can get more points in their field through intereacting with arts and crafts objects i.e. easels, piano's, guitar's etc. When they get enough ...
...gloves and new items for the house. Anything your sims make can be kept or sold on, so if your sim is good they can make a little bit of money out of it. Also when your sims becomes master of his/her field they will get a certain aura around them and when they are practising in it you will also hear applause and get the sense that this is what they're good at. There is also a cooking shown down object for those sims who like cooking and want to show ...

Review of The Sims 2: Freetime Expansion Pack (PC)

Sims 2 Seasons adds a sense of reality to the game.

Advantages: new objects, new careers, more gameplay, sense of reality
Disadvantages: sometimes rained and snowed in the house

The Sims 2 Seasons was one of the the last and most enjoyable expansion packs for the game. It finally offered you the chance to see more then just blue sky in sim land, there were storms, snow, sunshine of course and the long awaited seasons. You had spring, summer and winter and each season brought with it different surprises. You got to rack up leaves in autumn, then have a kid jump in them and mess them up or burn them, build snowmen in winter ...
...or you could sunbathe in the summer and get burnt to a lobster. This expansion pack works pretty well with the holiday pack too where when you take your sims away they will get the weather each location predicts, for example snow in a snowy setting or campsite, sun on a beach location etc. If you leave your sims out too long in various conditions their body temperature which is shown by the temp gauge will change. Don't let them get too hot or too ...
