Game Reviews

Sure, a little pricey, but worth it. I did some online review hunting and this seemed to be the one to get. Was a little tricky finding it through Amazon's search, not sure why. It's great. Feels nice, substantial but not heavy, buttons don't feel cheap or gimmicky. I'll never go with a cable laden controller again. Never drops out, connection solid. No problems. Battery life is pretty sweet too.

One thing I always hated about game consoles was the constant tripping over tangled wires. Wires intersecting each other, making a mess of things.

Enter the Logitech Cordless Action Controller!! This is without a doubt one of the best controllers I've ever used! The controllers is very well made. The feel of it is very natural in your hands, though slightly different than the original PS2 Dual Shock. There's a nice satin like finish that prevents alot of dirt from your hands from making the controller too slippery. There is literally no notciable lag or delay in the controller's operation. The controllers 2.4 ghz signal ensures that you won't miss any of the action. Every function of the original is reproduced faithfully. Installation is extremely simple. Plug the reciever into your PS2's controller port and simpley press the action button to get a signal. There is also a button on the reciever to make the connection if needed. The battery life (the controller takes two AA batterys) is approximatley 300 hours without the vibration mode and 50 hours with the vibration mode on. A small sacrifice to make for a great product such as this.

I really can't say enough good things about this product. It's great if you have small children in the house especially. No more worrying if they are going to trip and drag the console across the room. In fact this is such a great controller I'm considering buying a second!

Buy this.

I guess I should elaborate since I do have 1000 words to work with, but the basic point is this controller is awesome. If you're like many people and wanted a wireless controller for your PS2 but were scared of the brick and a half sized previous Logitech controller, fear not. This is the smaller, cheaper, and better little brother of the monster wireless.

It's VERY comfortable. I'd almost say I enjoy it more than the original. While it's basically identical in size, I prefer the curves a bit more to the PS2's original harder angles. If you have some kind of silly infatuation with the Dual Shock though, it's not like you will be let down, it's a very small deviation from the standard.

And for the first time that I've experienced with a third party controller, this thing doesn't feel like plastic you'd find in most dollar-store products. It's sturdy, has weight, and the sticks and buttons feel awesome. Sticks are SLIGHTLY less rigid than the DS2, but they're more firm than the DS1 if that helps.

After 2 weeks my batteries with rumble are still working just fine, so it's not like after 10 hours this thing's asking for more juice.

Just buy this thing already, you shouldn't even be reading this far. It's the best wireless controller EVER. Yes, even better than the Wavebird since they didn't skimp on the two-way transmission - meaning this controller has rumble (don't buy Nintendo's BS about battery life, they just made it transmit one-way). Rumble is good, it passed the rez test.

D-pad is kinda disc shaped but strangely it works VERY well. If the original DS2 D-pad was 100, I'd give this in the 90s easily, which is about 50 points higher than any other 3rd party D-pad.

Like most of logitech's products, it's even licensed by Sony. But that's sony, they're followers, not leaders, though we never should've been without good wireless for this long.

We are always on the lookout for fun strategy games for two players. Sometimes chess is just a little more thinking than we feel like doing and we find that some other strategy games, like Risk, just aren't as much fun with only two players. Enter Stratego, not as lengthy and mentally draining as chess can be and made for two players. The game does involve some strategy and we have alot of fun trying to outwit and outguess each others manuevers. I also love it because sometimes I can actually win unlike chess!
The Lord of the Rings version is a great idea. There are three variations of play. First, normal play as in classic Stratego where pieces move traditionally and object is to capture opponent's flag, using more recent rules where 10 is highest ranked piece though. Second, special powers game where some of the characters like Legolas, Gimli, Sauron, etc. have special movement abilities or powers bestowed on them. Third, special mission which plays like special powers but with the added element that Frodo has to reach Mount Doom and destroy the ring with dire consequences for the white team if he is captured or for the dark team if he succeeds. If you have multiple players you can also form two teams to play.
As for durability, I rated it at four stars. The board and plastic castle pieces seem very sturdy and should last forever. The storage platform for the playing pieces was flimsy cardboard though and the sides were slit so it falls over scattering the pieces. We taped the sides and that solved the problem but you don't really need to use the storage platform for the game pieces at all. You could just keep the pieces loose in the game box or put them in plastic bags. Also, be aware that there are forty pieces per player and they come blank with a sheet of stickers to apply to each, so you will need to stick 80 stickers total on the pieces for the initial set up.
One final tip! If your opponent is like mine and does victory laps around the living room with his arms in the air screaming the lyrics of Queen's We Are the Champions anytime he wins ANYTHING, you know he has to be taken down. I recommend Ed's Stratego site on the web as a good place to pick up strategy tips from some serious and experienced Stratego players for this. Please note though that they are following the older versions where 1 is the highest ranked piece, so adjust accordingly. Have fun!!

awesome game get it if you can

I am very impressed with this Lord of the Rings version of Statego. Game board looks great; additional Lord of the Rings versions of gameplay included is good for unique play. Also, comes with cardboard piece-holder that my other versions of stratego do not have. Great buy!

Well, my title says it all--where else can you get 1000 high-quality puzzles for under twenty bucks??!! Interface is simple to use with Hint, etc. features. I printed a bunch of puzzles and stuffed them in my laptop case for plane rides--now if I could just manage to keep a pen in there too!! Puzzles are challenging but I can generally get every letter (sometimes all correct, sometimes a few errors). Excellent product for any crossword enthusiast!!

This was game was not only fun, but it was also challenging!
I've played many hours and continue to try to conquer the many puzzles.
I was able to print the puzzles and bring them with me.
I recommend this over the other puzzle games out there.

Look at it this way: you can buy a book of 60 themed puzzles from the New York Times for about $10. Or you can buy this program, and get 1000 themed puzzles, constructed by the same people who construct the NYT puzzles, for $20. You can work these puzzles on the computer, or print them out and solve them the way you would a puzzle in the newspaper. The puzzles are about equal to the Wednesday/Thursday puzzles in difficulty. If you solve them on the computer, you can ask for hints - a letter or word at a time. Bottom line: great themed crossword puzzles for 2 cents a piece. You can't beat that.

great item!! a must for everyone who has game systems and disks!!!

I have been waiting a long time for someting like this. I bought Final Fantasu VIII and my cat got to and well you know and anyway it got scratched bad and I used this and yea baby yea! I could ata last beat Ultimecia!!! Buy this even if you don't have a scratched game buy this anyway because you'll need it sooner or later.

I like this acessorie because if your disc gets scratched you c fix it up

I had tried to order this last Christmas but it sold so well that it was out of stock!Great price & a great buy,i signed up for the waiting list & finally got it a couple of days ago.Its really hard to find a good map of the US & at a good price.This covers every state,has the major cities marked & the capitols are marked.I had looked at other maps in the store but never bought one because it didnt have the things i was looking for.Plus they were very expensive.This will help our child with learning where all the states are & to know the capitols.We all have to learn them for school & this is a fun way to do it.Also a way for the rest of the family to brush up on this information!

I don't know how they can sell this so inexpensively, as this puzzle is of very high quality and would be very beneficial to kids of all ages who need to learn more about US geography. I was surprised at how much my nephew enjoyed it, even though he is just six years old.

When we moved across the country, we decided to garage sale many of our daughter's toys, including this puzzle, which we assumed she had outgrown. As soon as we got to our new address, she demanded the puzzle and was alarmed to hear that we'd sold it. She has asked about it so often during the past year, that it is now clear to us: we need to purchase it again and will not discard it, even when the day comes for her to go to college! It truly helped her become the geography whiz she is now, at age 7! Parents out there: buy it and keep it! It's an amazing deal and a most educational toy.

This is a great game to play with your kids. It is our (my son and my) favorite game to choose on game night. We enjoy trying to see how fast we can come up with the number combinations to get rid of our cards. He started playing this with me when he was six and now he is nine, but it is still a favorite.

This is a fun game for all ages. When we have adult game night, we love it because you have to think...but just a little. And for kids (probably 7 and above) they can learn how to add several numbers in a row to get to a certain point. easy to learn, fast to play....it's a blast!

A great Math "enhancement" game. Similar to a game like crazy eights in that the object is to get rid of your cards first, BUT in Match'Em you may use more than one card. If mom plays a 15, Amy can play 7&8 or 9&6, or three 5's. They all add up to 15. Lots more "educational fun" than the regular games.

it's been a long time since i've played this game but what i can tell you is that it's one of the best games i played on the snes. made me late for school a few times hehehe

I only have this game on PC. The only thing I have to say is they
should make a sequle of this game and update it to Game Boy Advance. I'll give this game one hundred stars.

Believe it or not, this is a great game and possibly one of the best action/adventure side scrollers to come out for the Super Nintendo. Most people won't recognize it or give it a chance because it's not a game that you hear a lot about and most people probably haven't even heard of it. My little brother had the game at my mom's house once when i went over there and I was bored and had beat most of the other games they had, so I put this one in. Surprisingly, it had great gameplay in every way. The control and sound were good. The graphics were some of the best that I've ever seen for the 16-bit systems and the levels and fast action were awesome. The creators of the game put a lot of original ideas into this game. It ranges from levels that are devoted to bungee jumping to water levels where you have to make Maui Mallard shoot his gun to propel himself through the level. It was a lot of fun while I was playing it, and still is every now and then.

If you miss the good old days when action/adventure side scrollers were at the top of the video game industry, or just want to add another good one to your collection, this would be a good game to get.

We got this game not to long ago, and I really enjoy it, I really like the checkers and chess on it and how you can set the difficulty level. And you can choose between lots of people. It's a very cool game.

I think my parents brought it for me and I love it. You can choose your own characters and games. It is so fun. I really like the game Parchessi. It is the best computer game I have ever played.

I purchased this for my husband and we have really enjoyed the variety of games you can play for a reasonable price! Our 4 year old even plays Connect Four and has hours of fun!

When I saw MegaMan V in the used section at my local gaming store, I almost wet my pants. You almost NEVER see a game THAT rare in a used section of a game store, so i bought it as fast as I could. Anyway, lemme get to the point. MegaMan V is one of the best MegaMan games ever. The graphics and sound is great, controls are easy to learn, the story is cool, and better yet, the bosses aren't reruns! (MegaMan V features the Stardroids, mysterious robots from space). Now MegaMan's Mega-Buster is replaced by the powerful new Mega-Arm, an arm that fires and punches the enemy. The only drawback to MegaMan V is that it's kinda easy and isn't that long, but an awsome game none the less! Get it today!

This was the fifth and final Mega Man (classic series) Game Boy game. How is it? Read on and find out.Mega Man's fourth outing the Game Boy finally arrived in the early-mid nineties. How would this one measure up? Read on and see.

Graphics: 4/5
For the Gameboy at the time, these were great. The picture is sharp and clear, just like the NES games. The only problem is you have less room on the screen to move around, but other than that, the graphics are fine.

Challenge: 4.25/5
This game is longer than any other Game Boy Mega Man, and for the most part tougher. However, difficulty does NOTHING to derail your gaming experience here.

Play Control: 4/5
A little different. Basic control is the same, but you fire off your fist with a fully charged blast this time around. You can even get enhancements for the first, which just plain rocks.

Theme/Fun: 4.5/5
It's a portable Mega Man game, and was by far the best one to its time. This is one included an item replicator, something very common in the classic series games now. Likewise, the game's got cool characters, weapons, and everything else. It's the only Mega Man classic series game in which Wily isn't the final boss! There is even a space shooter stage in this game!

Storyline: 4.25/5
Mega Man is attacked by a mysterious robot. Soon enough he gets word that they have inhabited various planets. He takes off to stop them, but not before getting his weapons worked on by Dr. Light. The cut scenes make the story work well.

Music/sound: 4/5
This game is unlike the NES ones for the most part, and the music is no exception. Once again, sound is excellent.

Overall: 4.75/5
If you only get one Mega Man Game Boy game, make it 4 or 5. They are tough to find, but well worth the effort if you can hunt them down. This is about as close as a Mega Man game gets to perfect.

Megaman V is, at the time of this writing, the last of the original series Megaman games to appear on the Game Boy. It's also one of the best in the whole series.

The plot revolves around the arrival of strange humanoid robots from outer space, called the Stardroids. Megaman attempts to take them down, but finds his weapons to be useless against their armor. Fortunately, Dr. Light creates a Mega Arm adaptor for Megaman that can penetrate the Stardroid armor. Megaman then goes off to defeat the eight Stardroids and their leader, Terra.

Part of what makes this game so fun is how it deviates from the original NES titles. They came up with eight entirely new bosses and levels for this one. Each Stardroid is named after a planet and is equipped with a weapon that Megaman receives after defeating them.

The graphics in this title are amazing for the Game Boy, their sharpness rivaling the best NES games. There is some slowdown when there are a lot of sprites at once, however.

The music is good and all of the tunes are new. The sound effects are the same as in previous Megaman Game Boy titles.

Gameplay is in the same side-scrolling action that's in the majority of Megaman games. You must guide Megaman through eight Stardroid levels that stretch in all directions and are loaded with robotic perils before going after their leader in a series of additional levels. The main difference between Megaman V and previous Game Boy Megaman titles is the fact that Megaman shoots his fist off at enemies (the Mega Arm). This is unlike the Mega Buster in the earlier games, which basically just produced a really large projectile. Although the fist automatically returns back, it makes for a brief delay wherein you cannot fire. You get used to it easily, though.

Overall, this game is worth finding for serious Megaman game collectors. Fans of side-scroller games will love it. And if you're expecting Dr. Wily to be the final boss, you might be surprised...

This is a great card even though it olny has 15 blocks its the best I've found. I've had about 3 outher memory cards all made by different brands and none of them worked. I mean Just the outher day I used a Electronics Buy memory card and saved 5 hours of Final Fantasy IX and then the card said the data was corrupted and I couldn't continue the game... Lets just say my mom's car gave it a little lesson even though it's smashed beyond repair. Any way NEVER USE A MEMORY CARD MADE BY A DIFFERENT BRAND THEN SONY !!!

I think it's cool that they make different colored memory cards. Thats good so you whats on each memory card.

The Playstation Memory Card slots into your Playstation and allows you save information. The product description offered by the manufacturer says it all. I have found it to be very, very useful, as many Playstation games require many sittings to make progress and complete. Mine has been very reliable, and has never lost any information. If purchasing a Playstation, I would highly recommend the purchase of a Memory Card.
