Game Reviews

At first I thought this game was going to bum me out big time. Oh boy was I ever so wrong! This game is the best thing ever, and I'm talking about the best thing ever! This game makes me salivate 24/7, and yes, that includes the time I spend sleeping! I usually wake up covered in saliva! Of course, I rarely sleep, because I'm too busy playing this game! It's so amazingly good! I never thought I'd love a game this good! Pamela is really hot and so am I when I play this game! It's ultragood, in fact! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I'd give it eight!!! The action is so violent and awesome! Did I mention that this game is a good game? I doubt it! Buy this game or you will not get into Heaven! No joke! It's only $7.50!!! Don't waste your money on junk! Spend it where it counts! VIP FOREVER!!!

The show was a great hit so I thought the game would be too, and it was. If you like Pamela Anderson, you'll like this game. It's a must have!!!!!!!!!!!!

The perfect PlayStation controller consists of two ingredients: the Viper 2 and your standard gray duct tape.

As much as I love the Sony's Dual Shock Analog controller, I have two major problems with it. The first is the fact that the more I use the analog control the harder it becomes to return to using the thumb-pad for other games that don't use the analog sticks. Second is the tiny size of the Dual Shock Analog controller. As functional as it is, the small size of the game pad forces me to play games in an annoying and cramp inducing clawlike grip in order to utilize the multiple buttons and shoulder triggers. Not a big problem until you sit down for a marathon session of PlayStation gaming and realize a few hours later that your hands no longer function properly.

Nyko's Viper 2 provides an excellent solution to problem number one by including the "Mode" switch on the controller. The "Mode" switch allows you to switch between three styles of control: digital, analog, and dual analog steering.

Digital mode is nothing special and provides the classic thumb-pad and button control everyone is familiar with. Analog mode not only provides analog control but will also allow you to play all of your older PSX games with the analog stick instead of the thumb-pad. Dual analog steering control allows you to use the left stick to steer and the right stick to accelerate (and decelerate if you are one of those strange people that actually hits the brakes), as well as allowing you to use this scheme in the majority of older PSX racing games that are not programmed for this type of control.

Problem number one solved.

As soon as I picked up the Viper 2 I let out a sigh of appreciation as I could immediately feel the difference as my hands wrapped around the larger frame, my fingers resting naturally on the control sticks and comfortably extending over the shoulder triggers. As well, the Viper 2 is heavy enough that it no longer feels like I am playing with a fragile and cheap plastic toy, now I am wielding a sturdy "I can throw this on the floor in anger without breaking it" weapon.

Problem number two corrected.

Unfortunately, as excellent a job as they've done solving my main issues with the Sony Dual Shock Analog controller they have introduced a new issue with their sexy see-through flashy colored design: the controller is slippery. Although my hands are now positioned far more comfortably, the plastic used in the construction of the Viper 2 makes the grips so slick that you will find your hands slipping off them in moments of great gaming importance, causing a severe loss in controllability.

Problem number three created.

This is where the standard grey, can be used to solve any problem in the world, duct tape comes in. Simply tear off two nice long pieces of duct tape, wrap them around the two grips on the Viper 2, grab the controller firmly in hand and start playing your favourite games with new found comfort and confidence.

Problem three solved, controller perfection achieved.

My friend has the Viper 2 and whenever I go to his house I beg him to use it. It feels so good on your hand. You know how when you've been playing a game for a while your fingers start to hurt? The viper stops that! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes to play for extended periods of time, or just short periods of time! It's awesome.

Binary Arts is a leader in family and thinking games and Visual Brain Storm is the perfect example. Binary Arts gives you a game that can be played with one person or teams and the fun and entertainment is just the beginning.

The easy directions, printed on the box, have you playing in less than five minutes. The storage of the game is a breeze since the only parts are the game cards themselves. The hours of enjoyment and fun for the whole family is what makes this game a sure fire winner.

The game calls for ages 11 and up and some the cards may be a little too hard for the younger crowd. In the solitaire version you play each card and score yourself. In the head to head you dived up into teams and you can put a time limit on each question.

Finally there is a team version which call for you to place the card where everyone can see it, first team that thinks they know answer calls out finished and the other teams have 1 minute left to play. So if you're looking for a great party game Binary Arts may just have the answer.

I bought this toy for my 5 year old 2 years ago, when I started homeschooling and she is now doing the intermediate and advanced levels (which still challenge me). She always wants to play rush hour before starting her math lessons to put herself in a "mathematical mind frame" (her words). Every child who comes to our house & plays this game is hooked and asks to play next time. I am a teacher by profession and this is a very unintimidating logic & reasoning game (for all ages)- I would highly recommend! I have just ordered 5 more to give as x-mas gifts this year.

Aqui nos encotramos que la larga guerra contra el pueblo de los Kilrathis ha terminado. Pero el espacio no es un lugar tranquilo. Una nueva amenaza surge y sera otra vez al Coronel Blair te luchar para la paz universal.

Realmente es de lejos el mejor juego que he jugado en PC. Tiene una gran cantidad de peliculas (6 cds en total) y la historia es increible. Los graficos son tambien muy buenos y las misiones tambien.

No hay nada que criticarle al juego... para cualquier fan de WC es un sueño.

Firstly, before I say anything about the game; let me state for the record that I'm a dedicated Wing Commander fan - I've played quite literally every game in the series, and still cerish them today, even with hit games like the Ace Combat series starting to rise through the Playstation elite. That said; the review:

Wing Commander is a space-flight simulation game with a unique twist in its story: it's highly moldable to your personal preformance during missions, and actions you take between. Unlike other games, your wingmen behave quite realistically; each one has an individual personality, and their personalities adapt based upon their experience flying with you. As an example; if you decide to take a rookie pilot under your wing, the commands you give him will gradually shape his personality, and the choices he makes in combat (going in full afterburners, like the infamous Maniac, or more conservative and judgemental of the current situation, like other favorites from the original such as Iceman or Angel.)

The story itself picks up where the last game in the series left off; the Kilrathi threat has been nullified, but skirmishes between the border colonies and inner confederation break out continuously; with the confederate not wanting to act descisively in the matter. Not much more can be said regarding without ruining the story, but suffice to say it's masterfully plotted and there are plenty of twists and turns that will throw you for a loop. If that's not enough; there are a multitude of different outcomes; indeed, different campaigns, that are chosen by your actions. Talk about replay value... you could play the game through three or four times and have a completely different experience each time. Best yet; there's finally a game in which your wingmates aren't simply indispensable drones meant only to draw fire; you live and die as a team in this game; and characters do indeed die... permanently. A wrong action, or reckless command can potentially kill untrained wingmates, and adds to the excellent depth and realism of the game.

The graphics are great; there's really no other way to put it. The details are amazing, without being over-blocky, and the game never once dropped below a very respectable 40-fps. The in-game cinamatics are absolutely amazing in quality; although some of the acting leaves a bit to be desired for. Acting - that's right. For those of you who have't played the prequel to this game, it has an actual directed cast that play out the multitude of scenarios, adding even more depth.

Sound and music, sadly, do not greatly contribute to the excellence of the game. While the sound is quite alright for a standard space-shooter, the music has never really been the series' finest points. That said, it's not unbearable, it just could have used a boost.

The bottom line is simple: if you're looking for an extremely realistic space combat simulator with depth and an actual story line, look no further. The replayability will serve you well, and you'll love this game for a long time. Dedicated hardcore fans of the series will go absoultely nuts over this gem. If you're the casual gamer; take a look at this game: you stand to like it a lot if you get to know it.

This game is great for any x men fan it is a little difficult but very fun you can choose from 5 different X men to play as. cyclops, wolvereine, Beast, gambit, and ?????. there are 15 stages with bosses scatered though out them. It is a great game for anyone over the age of 5 years old. I do not know the condistion this game is in but i have one at home and i highly suggest for you.

This is a great x men game. You get to chose between Gambit, Wolverine, Cyclops, Psylocke, and Beast. The story line is Apocalypse has taken over Genosha, a mutant slave island and the x men are trying to save the mutants. The game makers were also able to put many popular villans in the game, like the Brood, Juggernaut, Sentinels, Exodus, Magneto, and Omega Red. The graphics and gameplay are good. This is a very challenging game, however. Overall, this game made very good on its X men license. I own every x men console game except the fighting games as far as I know of, and this is the 2nd best, right behind x men 2 clone wars for sega. That game is even harder. Get this game, expecially if you are an x men fan.

If you're a fan of Yahtzee, and want to play a game WITH* your kids that's fun for all of you, Yahtzee Jr. fits the bill. We have the Pokémon version, but we're getting Ninja Turtles for a nephew. Both my son and daughter enjoy this, and have played it for over a year. Easy concept using pictures on die. No writing required - score with color coded pieces on grid.
*I say "with" because I usually do the final tally with them, regardless of whether I play or not.

We played this game over at a friend's house and my five year old son figured it out in about ten minutes. Our friend then bought the game for him for his birthday and since then he has not stopped playing it. The game is quick (which I like), can be learned easily, and he really likes it. It helps a little with counting, but there is not much more educational value to it. Another good thing is that he can teach his friends how to play quite easily. This helps him learn how to give instructions to other children. I highly recommend the game.

ummmm.....i think these cards would be a lota fun for us....awesome, anyways, i'm gonna try it!

My son keeps the cards that he wants to trade in this case. That way he doesn't have to worry about them being mishandled and they're kept seperate from his deck. Also, when we had a garage sale this summer he displayed his cards in this.

Not for the squeamish, that is for sure! I played this once at a party and just had to have it for myself. The challenge cards are repetitive, but how the challenges work out is really designed by the people playing the game. No challenge is alike, even though the structure may be set up the same way. In other words, some cards have the exact same instructions on them, but for each player or each turn that a challenge card is picked, the turnout is different. It would have been nice to have each one be a new and different challenge though.

Overall, I found this game to be a ton of fun, completely disgusting and worth every penny! LOL It's not like any other game and it isn't boring. I'm glad I searched for it!

Sometimes disgusting, sometimes shocking, but competely fun! I couldn't believe some of the things my husband would rather do. This game is simple and had us all laughing (and squirming) for hours!

My 3.5 year old loves Zoofari and I gave it high ratings. However, I want to warn parents that this game is EXACTLY like Candyland only with a jungle theme. Also, the game pieces are much smaller than the Candyland gingerbread men and present a choking hazard. Since we already have Candyland, I was very disappointed that I spent the money for this game.

This game is destined to be a classic. It is fun, fast-paced and exciting for children. Anyone can win, and positions often change at the last minute. It is a game my children enjoy playing over and over. It reinforces color recognition and counting skills as the players advance though the jungle path. It is easy for a child to teach another child to play (great for play dates!) The animal characters on the board are adorable, my child sees something new on the board every time we play. A MUST for anyone with young children!

One of our rental families left this for us as a thank-you gift for using our beach house, and it's so nice I'm surprised they didn't take it home themselves...maybe they bought 2 sets? We all used this set when we stayed there, from my 1st grader up to my wife and I (she steadily beat me in about 8 out of the 10 games, more if you count all the card games) so I bought another set online for our home, too. I know that my future rentals will sure appreciate it too. I hope they win more often than I do....
