TV Giant (PC)

Advantages: Fun,hours of creating a home and life.Especially for those who don'thave one already
Disadvantages: Almost to addictive and if no expansion pack can become samey

...is my fave and you can get giant widescreen TV's, a VR set and an up-to-date PC (meant to be anyway). -Simulate- The idea is to lead your sim a happy life unless you are an evil control freak which I can be if i'm angry and i name a sim to a person i hate and kill them offf muhamuhamuhamuha!Once your home is created go out into the big wide....em sims village. Meet friends and let them become your companions or best friends. If you build up a good relationship with someone of the opposite gender then there may be a chance to get married and have kids. An ideal start would be to get a well paid job from the PC or newspaper (in the game obviously). If not get your self a scadgy job and get promoted. Earn money and keep yourself/family alive. If you make a group of friends then invite them all round by usage of phone (WAHHEY... Read review

Advantages: Excellent online gameplay

...and battles he will become stronger. In this world you can get to join guilds of fighter who battle giant creatures or armies in far off temples. I immediately left the television and headed to my computer. Having landed on the website www.legendofmir.net you download the programme, once you have decided on the style of game you want. There are two different games Mir 2 and Mir 3; I gather that Mir 3 is still in still quite experimental and glitches can occur. With this in mind I downloaded Mir 2 (as I had done 5 years earlier). The download speed has increased dramatically with the advent of faster broadband connections I guess; when I played last time there was just Broadband and no indicated speed. Then the programme took 20 minutes to install, now with my 8 meg Broadband connection it took just 3 minutes; and the world was much bigger. Once... Read review

...chain of roadside travel inns. But when you get bored of the missions you can try a random game. This menu allows you to decide game difficulty, time limit, initial cash, and number of cities to choose from and even what you have to do the complete the scenario. When playing the game on “easy” you start with $10,000,000 ; with this you have o build a hotel, furnish it and occasionally close and renovate the hotel to update and modify them. But as soon as you get customers you with get a flow of cash and will be able to buy more stuff including more hotels. When setting up a random game you can choose how many cities you can build hotels in these cities include New York, London, Moscow, Texas and Hong Kong. If you want you can get up to the really interesting stuff like investing shares, advertising on the TV and internet, buying loans... Read review

Advantages: Great Fun for those who like a bit of a punch up.
Disadvantages: Too rowdy for some

...As I have watched the Jerry Springer show for donkey's years and found it a rough drama, I thought I would try the Jerry Springer boardgame on the computer. I have to say what that this is an average boardgame this is to use and set up either on a video or computer at home. At an average cost of £19.99 per boardgame at many video and computing shops it is a bit expensive considering it's too much rough and tumble. Only the latest computers with windows XP and digital television you can use it on. To set up you need a game adaptor like what is used for telvision computer games. If you use it on a computer use CD ROM or DVD if available in that format. Personally I would not recommend this to a potential buyer at all as there is too much punching in it.... Read review

Advantages: like tv
Disadvantages: none

...Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is the computer version of the popular television series. It has the voice of Chris Tarrant on and is the same layout and style as the TV show. There is a multi-player option and you can play fastest finger first with up to three other players. You have all of the lifelines and can walk away if you don't know the answer. The only bad thing is, is the very repetitive music gets irritating and when the camera lifts up off the question screen it takes at least one minute to return to it after you answer the one thousand pound question. That is at least ten minutes waiting for the next question in total if you get to the one million pound question. Overall though this is an o.k. game which has got a long shelf life.... Read review
