My Top Ten Computer Games of all time

Advantages: Oldies but goodies
Disadvantages: Dare I admit I still enjoy them

...dimensional graphics acceleration card. In fact most of the really good games are great because they don?t rely on such additives. It is the idea driving the game rather than its overall presentation which is the most important facet to me. None of these games are particularly recent. Indeed two of my choices almost predate the PC age. I have played them all in my time on a Windows based PC (either on Windows or in a Window) I have also chosen games that have strength in depth. There are multiple strands of strategy to be unravelled. They can appeal to all members of the family (apart from the really little ones) ? important if you want some dialogue with your offspring (or parent) about what it is that is taking up so much of your time. The game must be repeat playable (and give you a different challenge) each time. I need a good logical...

Review of Top 10 Favourite Computer Games

IF YOU LIKE WORD GAMES YOU'LL LOVE THIS

Advantages: Four games on one disk, will not date and therefore you can still enjoy playing it in years to come - assuming that the system requirements allow you too
Disadvantages: I haven't come across any

...At work I don't have access to the Internet so I decided to dig out some of my old PC games and install them at work to play when I have 5 minutes spare to laze about. One of the games I dug out was a word games disk that I used to play a lot before we got the Internet at home, since having the Internet I don't think it has seen the light of day, until this week when I dug it out.

As the title suggests you will need to be running Windows in order to install the games but other than that there is not a list of system requirements detailed on the packaging. At work our computer is at least 3 years old and is very basic, as I don't have any problems running the game there I would imagine that...

Review of Word Games For Windows (PC)

The Hunger Games

Advantages: The fascinating world the story is set in, powerful performances, incredibly thoughtful narrative
Disadvantages: It's different - for which there are ups and downs - there are some slow moments at crucial points

...I have a feeling that the trailers for ?The Hunger Games? got it absolutely right in holding back on the action element of the film. Because for those of you expecting an American version of the popular Japanese film ?Battle Royale,? you might be slightly let down by how unbloody, ungory, and in fact, how little action there actually is. But unless you?re a hardcore action fan, there is no reason why you should pass up on this haunting, intelligent thriller/drama. ?The Hunger Games,? the first of trilogy novels aimed at young adults, is an important, incredibly current and relevant piece of work that can be enjoyed and appreciated by members of all generations. There are 12 Districts. Many years ago, they rebelled against the powerful and rich Capitol, but the bad news is, they lost. And for destroying so many people?s lives and turning...
