Theme Hospital PC game

Advantages: A great game for the PC!!!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: Addictive!!!

...I used to play this game when I was a kid, it has been out since 1997, and I think we got it when we got one of our computers (you remember when you got random games with your computers!!), and I used to play it! To be honest in the last few years I haven't thought about it, but when I was in the shop Game the other day, and found out I had accumulated £10 on my game reward card I thought I'd look for some things to buy, and this game was in a section for 3 for £10, as I had found a couple of other games I wanted, I thought I'd get this too! The game is quite simple to start with, you are the owner of a hospital and you have to build rooms and hire doctors, nurses and handymen to keep it running, and you have to work at keeping the patients happy and curing them as quickly as possible. There are around 15 levels, but as I have...

Fifa Manager 2007 Computer Game

Advantages: Super impression of being a football manager
Disadvantages: Fairly addictive game once started.

...FIFA Manager 2007 (PC) Introduction Here the game involves starting off as a new manager for a club of your choice. There are so many British, European, and other International sides to manage. The game involves almost every aspect of managing a football side. This game is not an action sports game like FIFA 08, this simply involves managing a football club. The choice of which team to manage, is yours. Upon starting a manager is given a budget to work with, fan's and the club's directors expectations level to meet. The ambition of a team such as Manchester United or Chelsea would usually be to finish in the top 3 of the league or to win the Premier League in that season, or win the Champions league etc. If failing to meet these expectations, or losing too many matches, the manager is sacked. If people do well, people can...

Logic 3 USB PC Game Pad

Advantages: Cheap & Reliable
Disadvantages: To many buttons in the middle

...I have been playing on Rugby 06 for about 2 weeks before I decided to buy a controller to play the game on. I didn't really want to spend over £15. So I decided to buy this controller because it was in the half price sale, so I managed to get it for £5. I found a problem while playing with my keyboard that I could not press more than 3 keys at once, so while you are trying to sprint, and move diagonally, it only allows you to do the last 2 buttons pressed, so it would not let you sprint, which got annoying. I found that with the controller I could press more than 3 buttons which allowed me do execute special moves. To use the controller, you just plug it into the USB on you PC, and it will work because it is plug and play. This means that you do not have to install any drivers so can start playing with it sooner than you think...

The best ever PC game just got better

Advantages: Amazing graphics, freedom from your own house lets you explore a whole new Sim world
Disadvantages: Ultra fast speed is not fast enough - Some buildings do not let you inside to see what is going on

...Like every other Sims fan on the planet I could not wait for the arrival of the Sims 3, and I was not disappointed. The high detail that has been put into this game makes it so exciting to play. When creating your Sim you can alter their facial structure to the finest of details. Their hair can now be any shade on the colour wheel and the game gives the player the option to give their Sim roots, highlights and coloured tips. Skin colour and body type is now determined by a sliding bar meaning many more options than just Fat and Thin. The face of the Sim no longer has the angular appearance as in Sims 2 but has been made smooth and fluid, creating a more life like Sim. Once the Sim has been created the player is no longer asked to give the Sims a predetermined personality by selecting a starsign. The player is given the option to pick...

A SIMply great computer game

Advantages: great for control freaks, never grows old, easy to play
Disadvantages: none

...The sims is one of the most commonly played computer games in the world, and without a doubt one of my favourites. In my list of the top computer games, this is without a shadow of a doubt second place. It contains the sims, the sims on holiday, the sims hot date, the sims house party, the sims superstar, the sims making magic, the sims unleashed and the sims livin' it up. I am going to go into detail about the riginal, and then explain each of the expansion packs... ORIGINAL... This gives you a starterneighbourhood with just 10 houses on one street, it is your job to take existing families or create new ones, move them into a house or buy them a plot of land to build a hose on, and make them successful. The gameplay is extraordinarily easy and the game is very much pick up and play. When creating sims you can chose gender, child...

Review of The Complete Collection of The Sims (PC)

PC multi-game

Advantages: Greater than the sum of its parts
Disadvantages: Its only a computer game

...Personally I find that most games are of little interest and a quick look is enough, a few are worth investigating further, and a minority are like books you cannot put down. Space Rangers is one of those and I have wasted a fair bit of time on it, ok if you have little else to do but don't get it otherwise! There is some confusion over the title because the label shows 'Space @ Rangers' the '@'-type symbol being a stylised '2', so it is actually 'Space Rangers 2', sometimes referred to as 'SR2: Dominators' or 'Rise of the Dominators' and includes the earlier version of 'Space Rangers' on the disc I saw somewhere that this game was released in 2002 but a year ago was said to be 'almost unknown' and 'Hard to find'. Now a quick search reveals more reviews than I remember for any other computer game, and it's available on Amazon...

GAME

Advantages: great games
Disadvantages: n/a

...Game is a great shop for any gaming fan, when it comes to getting the games that you want.If it is a console im afraid you are not so lucky, i spent ages trying to get a Nintendo Wii and they always seemed out of stock. They stock consoles, games and accessories for th Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance, Gamecube, PC Games, Sony Playstation 2, Sony Playstation 3, Sony Playstation Portable, Nintendo Wii, Xbox and Xbox 360. Game offer special deal when you buy a bundle with any of the consoles, games and accessories. Game is a shop that is well worth visiting if you are passing as they have special offers on a weekly basis on certain games, so worth a visit to try and bag bargain. I have noticed that you can get better offers if you look around online using the comparison sites as the game market is a very competitive market. Game...

Review of Game (Shop)

Fun game improved dramatically by PC version

Advantages: Good graphics, very playable.
Disadvantages: A little slow to load etc

...If you've played the boardgame version of this, you'll be familiar with the irritating little things which happen as you play - kids falling out of the cars, the spinner taking off and needing to be fixed almost every time, and trying to keep track of all the different cards. Put all that behind you and enjoy the PC version! In this version, all the familiar aspects of the game are there: you still choose your career path and then randomly get a career and salary at the end of it - this time via a nifty little spinner graphic and cash till. And you proceed along the board as normal, but with all the graphics and extras you'd expect from a computer version. You can choose between different game views - an overview of the entire board or a close-up of where you are currently. And there are lots of little things to see as you move along...

You won't be in a Crysis when choosing your new PC game!

Advantages: Amazing gameplay, graphics and multiplayer
Disadvantages: you will need a fairly new pc to run it

...I first downloaded the demo of this game when I recieved my new gaming computer and I couldn't belive my eyes. This game is stunning from the word go, the plot is gripping, the graphics are amazing and the gameplay is unlimited. I have never played anything like it before so naturally it was the first game on my christmas list. You play as a young man called Nomad that has been sent into korean terratory to save some acheologists, who had discovered somthing 'unusual'. Every little aspect of this game is amazing from the realistic explosions, trees breaking at the point where you hit them or the fact you can throw frogs around is never ending. Of course when you complete the game you will want more, and there is! The multiplayer is up to 32 players with two types of game (you can have more with the expansion pack). There is...

Hotel Giant PC Game - Not The Sims!

Advantages: strategic, cheap,
Disadvantages: boring, repetitive, limited choice, long methods, no real aim

...Walking through my local Comet store with the husband, we were discussing games for 'girlies' when I said that I fancied something a little bit business like, something like The Sims, but with a purpose to aim for. On the bargain rail, there was a copy of the PC game Hotel Giant. Reading the info, it was basically saying that it was about running, designing and then building up your business, based within a hotel. It sounded really interesting, and only needed basic specs such as the normal ram and spaces with games. The good thing that I liked was it was playable on older machines, so no worrying about compatibility. We paid £2.50 for it and off home we went. Firstly, it loaded fairly fast, the graphics are more adult than other pc games of this ilk such as Theme Hospital, so although the age range was 8+, it was suitable...
