Game Reviews

Age of Mythology is an extremely playable game. It is simple concept with a simple set of rules but an incredible amount of strategic choice.

Players play either Egyptian, Greek, or Norse culture, the terrain they face varies due to where they live, as do the creatures that they bring to battle.

But while the Mummies face off against Frost Giants and Medusa you must still build a civilization, with homes, sawmills, gold mines and storehouses.

The point scoring system where each turn players select which actions generate victory points allows the player to alter strategy game by game and even within a game to score the limited amount of points available.

The miniatures are excellent, detailed and durable.

With Age of Mythology Eagle Games once and for all cements itself as the successor to the Avalon Hill tradition of quality strategy games with a historical slant that will last for years.

I was really excited to see this game after non-stop playing of last years Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball. Let me start by saying, this isn't just a better than FTBHB, it's amazing. The gameplay has kept me hooked since I first got it. The graphics are good. The sound effects are really good, Jon Stirling is the announcer, it's just like listening a live broadcast. If you bought FTBHB then you just have to buy this game, its significantly better and even more fun. All in all, All-Star 97 is the best baseball game out there.

This is a great educational game! The first couple times my 5 yr-old grandaughter and I played, we used the directions for 4-6 yr olds, where you name an animal whose name begins with a, then b, etc, as you advance around the playing board. Soon she was playing at the more advanced, challenging level, where you must name an animal that starts with a and flies, or starts with a and swims, etc. It's great fun for her when grandma can't think of an answer, and she can!! My grandaughter has become so interested in animals, I bought her an encylopedia all about animals, that we use when playing the game. I would recommend this game for anyone who cares about animals.

If you like Pacman, Tetris, Space Invaders or Qbert, then you'll LOVE this title. As simple as that

Gameplay is as simple and addictive as in the classics, but all of the games include new stuff that make them even alot better. Munch Man ( pacman's clone ) can jump over the ghosts, collect keys to open new doors, use elevators, etc., and has plenty of different mazes divided into 9 different, colorful worlds. Tetri-Madness includes a special playing mode with items that are completely original for the genre ( as a heavy weight that compresses the empty spaces, bombs and even ghosts that duplicate themselves ). In Alien invasion ( space invaders's clone ) you can use different sort of original weapons ( ie. a boomerang launcher ) and the alien formations are different on each levels, sometimes even forming rotating circles which is something I never saw in this type of games. And Qube jumper ( qbert's clone ) gameplay is so good that is ages beyond the original. Not only that it has a few new types of enemies, but also the levels are all different ( unlike the original, where all levels where piramids ). To be honest I wasnt a fan of the original qbert, but this remake is so, sooo much better that I'd say its probably my favorite game at this time

If you like simple, entertaining, non-violent games, you wont find a better deal than this one.

This party game is ridiculous fun. It combines the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with fun, random questions in four categories. Every single person should buy this game!

This game is soo graffic that you get in to it so much you don't hear nothing but what they say on the game.

Ive seen screen shots and videos of this game this is a must buy

This is THE light to get with your GBA - it fits snugly on the gba and does not hinder any action. The battery life is quite long and I am quite happy with the results. The lights are fully adjustable which takes away the need to tilt the gba in different directions to see the screen. I used the light with Castlevania Circle of the Moon - a notoriously dark game - and it worked fine. It even performed quite well in extremely dim light.

If you are purchasing a GBA or already own one - this is definitely a much needed add on.

I typically don't like these type of games but this game is a blast. My wife and I played capture the flag for about two hours the other night and she hates video games!! It is worth the low price.

I liked this game very much. I dont usally like games but this was diffrent. It was an addicting game, if you want a game you can get hooked on this is it. I think this is the best game i have ever played. SO BUY IT!!
