Razer Boomslang Collector's Edition 1800 dpi Gaming Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What can I say?It has a metal housing (not just painted plastic), the buttons are huge, and it slides like glass across a surface.It has a very low-profile design which makes it ideal for gaming.I traded off my Logitech G7 (cordless G5) for it, and it met my expectations for doing so.

Pros- EXTREMELY accurate.It may say 1800dpi, but it's instant (1ms response).Huge over-sized buttons which allow you to stretch and move your fingers around during a game session.Excellent scroll wheel and perfect skates.

Cons- Only 5 buttons, difficult switching the DPI unless you sacrifice one of the five buttons...that's about all of the cons.

Bottom Line- It's durable, comes with extra feet, and should last for many years to come.I think this mouse cuts the bells and whistles; it gives you only what you NEED.If a 5 button mouse does the trick for you, I can't recommend this mouse enough.Get one before they're gone for good.

Soldier of Fortune Platinum Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is absolutely great.
First of all, the graphics are amazing. Everything looks realistic, and detailed. As are the sounds.
Second, the game play is nothing to be compared to. You don't feel uncomfortable with your mouse and keyboard. Movements are smooth, you don't have to spend half your bullets trying to hit your target. You have a good number of Weapons, bad guys, and levels. The game includes way too many levels, and hours of gaming, in many different countries and places.
Third, it's as realistic as it could be. You hit them in the leg, they start jumping around. you hit them in the head, they fall, you hit them BETWEEN their legs ==> Believe me, ouch :)
And even that depends on the weapon. If you're using a Shotgun, you'll see them falling apart, even their heads can blow up. In the train level, if you hit the Helicopter Pilot with your sniper, you'll see blood all over inside the heli.
The game doesn't contain much secrets if that's what you are expecting. It's more like Blow'em up style. You don't get lost in the scenarios, and that's what makes it fun. And if you don't like that, you can always try the easy way, using a sniper.
So much fun, you can play it a lot of time. I didn't notice any bug while playing.
Watch out for the Violence and Game's Requirements.
Buy the game, it's really worth it.

Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There seems to be some reviews by users who do not actually own the G15.

I do.

As a gamer, I only need about 6 macro buttons, and they work just fine for that. The orange glow may not be quite as bright as I would like, but looks nice and does help gaming in the dark when you get the fingers on the wrong keys. The LCD is handy just in telling me the time if I'm playing some gamethat doesn't support the G15 (no more playing till 1AM accidentally) and in the games it does support, it's actually very handy - especially so in Lord Of The Rings Online or WoW, laying out stats in an easy to see way.

The downside to this kind of keyboard is you do miss some things. No volume knob, though you do get buttons. Been using a knob/wheel for years, so I'm really missing it. No calculator button, though I suppose I could make a macro for it. None of your usual Home or Web or buttons of that nature, though you do have a nice big satisfying mute button, and another to kill the Windows Button.Typing is fairly smooth, though since Logitech kept the New G15 the same size as a standard keyboard, certain buttons are smaller, like Tab, and it does take a second to get used to it. But it's not clicky at all, and is in fact one the quietest keyboards I've ever typed on.

Overall, I am very pleased with this keyboard after about a month of use. I could wish for a volume knob or calculator key. It took me a week before I realized when I was turning down the volume, it was actually showing on the little LCD display. It's a little quirky. But it's very handy for the gamer, without taking up the space of the older model.

Dynasty Warriors 6 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a fun game but not altogether the epic I hoped it would be.I like the new characters designs and the different fighting styles and all that. Being able to take on hundreds of people at once and rake up a thousand kills on a regular basis is pretty cool. The graphics are brilliant but, I don't know, it just seems to be missing a lot of the content that Dynasty Warriors 4 had.Not to mention characters.Not only does this game feautre no new Characters but it subtracts from those already existing.Where is Meng Huo?Not in this game.Granted I haven't unlocked every acheivement but still if he was in the game there would be a nanman level or you would see him somewhere. (And why even have a Zhuge Liang Storyline without the nanman campaign?It would be like a Robert E. Lee Story without the battle of Gettysburg.Kinda lame.)

How is it that this game has less characters than the previous version.Generally the series gets more characters as it progresses not fewer.Not only that but of the few that remain, only a handful have musou story modes which is kinda lame(sure it would probably be hard to make storylines and movies for each character but that doesn't mean I have to like it) You can play the less popular characters in free mode but it just isn't the same.I tried creating my own storyline for Yuan Shao by having him play through a bunch of free mode battles but realized I couldn't since the battle of Guan Du only has two sides in this game.Cao Cao's and Lu Bu's. (Lu Bu wtf?How did he get involved in that battle) Speaking of Lu Bu, unlocking him is the only reason to play through half of the musou modes.Some of the charcters aren't as cool as the other, in my opinion.

Getting over the characters, or lack of them, and onto the actual gameplay the game plays well.The new renbu system is interesting once you figue out what it is.Although the same basic attack, charge attack scheme is in play, charge attacks are separtate from your main attacks, meaning that you can't put together any super charge attacks like in previous games.The charge attack looks the same whether you press it first or use it as a follow up to a series of regular attacks.That means that once you get unlimited renbu you don't even need to use the charge attack.You can just hammer on the x button.The charge attack is only really useful for breaking enemies blocks.Speaking of enemies, they are a bipolar lot.On the one hand the regular enemies do almost nothing but stare at you while you hack them to pieces while the officers while hand you your buttchecks.Also certain officers will get angry and then they do tremendous damage, enough to kill you in three or four hits.When they get into this state they glow with a flame.I've come to refer to these powerhouse's as 'flamers'.When you see a deadly flamer you need to save the game unless you want to risk losing all the exp you have gained in the battle.Unlike some of the games in the series you can't save your exp from a failed attempt.Sometimes free mode is the only way to get your chosen hero past a certain point.

Really though, long story short, while I like the game I would have liked it more if more characters were in it.Maybe they will fix this when they come out with Dynasty Warriors 6: Xtreme legends.

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I finished playing through this game recently on my Playstation 2.As a long-time Indy fan, I must say that I was very, very pleased overall.You control the intrepid Indiana Jones as he makes his way through a variety of locales, including Ceylon, Istanbul, Prague, Hong Kong, and others.The goal of the game is to recover an ancient mystical talisman from the titular Emperor's Tomb, all the while fighting off Nazis, Chinese thugs, undead creatures, and others.Indy is present in pure form, including the fact that he occasionally loses his beloved fedora hat during a fight and must go back to retrieve it when the coast is clear.I don't know who they found to do Indy's voice acting in this game, but whoever it is did a great job impersonating Harrison Ford.
The controls are intuitive and easy to master.Indy comes equipped with his revolver, a canteen of water for health replenishment, and of course, his trusty bullwhip.During the game, Indy will gain access to a number of other items, including a variety of weapons ranging from German machine guns, to a crossbow, to a variety of blade weapons.I must admit, though, that whenever I was up against only one or two bad guys, I found much more fun in just wading in with my fists, or else breaking furniture and beating the bad guys senseless with a table leg or breaking a liquor bottle over their heads.Indy has a number of different fighting moves, so fighting enemies never gets monotonous.
There are many puzzles to be solved in order to advance in the game.Some of them involve finding an item to open a secret door, others involve distracting a large, nasty monster so that Indy can quickly get across a dangerous area to safety, others require Indy to have a key item in his posession so he can view invisible obstacles, etc, etc...The action-based levels don't disappoint, either.Whether you are fighting off reanimated statues, dodging flamethrower-wielding Nazi soldiers, or perched atop a Chinese mountain gondola car, trying to shoot down German fighter planes intent on your demise, there is always something new to defeat.I found that the various levels of the game did an excellent job of presenting new challenges, and the action never felt stale.
Having said all this, why 4 stars and not 5?Well, there were a few things which detracted a bit from the gameplay.One was a few graphical glitches, such as an object that is visible from one angle would suddenly disappear when Indy moved.This didn't hurt the gameplay, but it was distracting nonetheless.A more serious problem was the fact that the game crashed a number of times during play, including twice while I was fighting the final boss.There were a few other minor bugs, although nothing too serious, at least as far as I encountered.I get the feeling that maybe they should have tested the game a bit more before releasing it.Also, the graphics themselves just seemed a bit dated and primitive for the PS2.At times, I almost felt like I was playing a very advanced Nintendo 64 title.
Even though the graphics were a bit flawed, I have always felt that graphics mean little if the gameplay itself is worthy.This title has plenty and more of great gameplay value.If you can get past what few flaws there are in the game, then this game will deliver many hours of enjoyable playtime.Highly recommended for all Indy fans and anyone else who enjoys heavy doses of action and puzzle-solving.

Call of Duty 2: Big Red One Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Last year's Call of Duty Finest Hour was a totally new game, using a similar engine to Medal of Honor on the consoles. It didnt feel like the PC game in any respects really. People who complained then, will now be totally happy. Big Red One not only looks fantastic (near PC graphics), it feels and plays just as great as it's PC brothers. I feel a hint of Medal of Honor European Assault every once and awhile but this game is far more polished and thought out. The storyline is a major draw in, offering some great character moments. I read some of the guys that starred in the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers do some voice work in the game, however I haven't picked up on it quite yet, although I've got some ideas. On thing is for certain...Mark Hammil (star of Big Red One movie from 1981) narrates this epic game and does a very nice job. I recently bought Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood for xbox aswell and if your asking me to make a buying decision for you I'd say...
1. Big Red One is more run and gun, Earned in Blood is tactical.
2. This game is far more family friendly, Earned in Blood ISN'T.
3. Both games offer unique gameplay and are both worth 50 bucks.
If your looking for a rich new experience that has the polish of a great PC game, please do yourself a favor and buy this game. There are at least 5 WWII themed games coming out for the Holidays this year and Big Red One is diffenetly a winner. The A.I. is revolutionary for a console game offering such epic action scenes. The weapons are standard fare in a WWII game, but are more enjoyable than ever, seeming more powerful. Levels are diverse and I was thouroly impressed with each one, the D-Day beach landing is a very special thing for me in this game as it was the recreation of this scene in Medal of Honor Frontline that sucked me into the WWII franchise. Activision and Tyrench's take on the greatest invasion of all time is incredibley intense. And yes I have managed to cruise through the game very fast. The Battle of the Bulge, as well as the early Africa levels are great, as are the Normandy levels (its just Normandy has been used so many times in videogames) The ending levels in Germany are very fun and you feel such a great sense of accomplishment after beating the game, which should take 12 to 14 hours. 10 out of 10. Thanks for reading.

The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i thought that this was a good game to play, it was fairly inexpensive and you get to make a living off your own store, that you either get to run, or work at, instead of sending your sim away for the day then to come back with a pay check... you actually earned the money that you recieve. I think that some things are really annoying though, because you end up spending much more on your employees and such, and barly make any money at all cause no one will buy your items if they are too expensive, so you have to have another job inorder to make enough to live. And the days go by so fast, you barely have any time to run the store, in between your sims other needs such as hunger and hygene etc.. Also, the customers get mad at really stupid things and end up never coming back and give your store a bad reputation. When i was playing, one of my lawn decorations (a flamingo) was tipped over, and they kept going into histerics about that, or if your trash is full they get really annoyed.
this also is very entertaining though because you are able to run a restaurant, a salon/hair dresser place, an entertainment spot, and pretty much any type of store you want. you can sell anything that is available in the buy mode. this expantion pack also comes with a lot of new objects, clothing, and hair styles, which are fun to use, such as costumes they can wear, a lot of shelving to put goods on, etc.
over all i think that this game was fun, being able to run your own business, but there were a few things that could be better.

Tekken 6 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Others have made some very good observations regarding the Tekken 6 game for the XBOX 360, however, the focus of this review is more focused in regard to the wireless controller... Undoubtedly Tekken fans will love this wireless fighting stick! The build is rock solid with no wireless lag whatsoever! The top and corner edges are molded in a fashion that eliminates sharp corners and the control buttons are each plainly marked above or below respectively. Syncing to the XBOX 360 was a breeze via a recessed button, located on the face of the controller, in the upper left corner. This controller definitely brings the arcade feel home, and yet it is light enough to place on your lap without being uncomfortable. There are non-slip pads in each corner on the bottom for tabletop use. Also on the bottom there is a compartment for two AA batteries, which are included. A label is also on the bottom of this device, which reads: TEKKEN 6 WIRELESS FIGHTING STICK, C/N: HORI CO., LTD., M/N: 1501#00, P/N: 09072. In addition, for those of you, like myself, who have been on a hunt for an excellent controller to use with Pac-Man C.E. (Championship Edition), Ms. PAC-MAN and PAC-MAN, look no further! Again, this wireless fighting stick controller works flawlessly and with no lag with each of these games. [...] Hope this provides you with some additional insight. God bless!

Company of Heroes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is brilliant.

First a little history. I am a 43 year old gamer (and bad speller)who has been around since pong. I have gone the route of Pong, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, Atari ST and then the PC since the 386. Other than FPS (just not my thing, plus I suck) I have played all the different type of games many many times.

Even though these are my initial impressions of the game so far this is easily the most fun I personally have had with a RTS game since Total Annihilation. I have played the Age of Empires, Warcrafts, Starcraft, Rise of Nations, Dawn of War etc etc. All these games were different yet they had the same "feel" about them. COH feels new and that is something that the RTS genre really needed. The bar has been raised to a staggering height.

Why do I enjoy COH over these other RTS games.

1. Strategy: Flanking, Machine guns covering arcs, armor facing, etc. COH has real strategies that make you think instead of how fast you can click around the battlefield(more on this later). The battlefield is destructible which also adds a level of strategy. The brick wall that feeds enemy troops towards a choke point is great until that tank rolls through it giving the enemy another point of access. Wait until you come back to a great defensive point while you were busy at another area and see off-board artillery devistate your position.

2. Atmosphere: The atmosphere in COH's is awesome. The voices (warning crude language), graphics, etc. Every little detail is done to a new level of perfection.

3. A.I.: The A.I. is very good. Your troops will find cover if possible (unlike the report from a previous reviewer). If you have mortar teams back and a rifle company come upon enemy units they will automatically start bombarding that location. the computer player on normal is a very tough opponent for someone at my level in the skirmish mode (I have yet to bet him).

4. Resources: Resources are done like Relics pervious game Dawn of War with a added level of complexity. You have to take over points on the battlefield which will supply you with one of the three types of resources required. What is different is that each point is in a sector and these sectors must be joined back to your base (by being adjacent to another friendly sector). It is possible to lose a sector which will isolate some of your other sectors and their resource income. This adds even more strategy to the game.

5. Map: The map in the game is outstanding. It shows the sectors your troop locations with a symbol what they are, if they are pinned, suppressed, in combat. A excellent way to have a snapshot of what is happening.

Is this game perfect no but what is. Although some might find this game easy I (like most) find it very hard. Even with the advance A.I. I always feel like I am out of control and need to be at 20 places at once. The good thing is that you can pause the game, go through your troops giving them orders, gather your wits and then let all hell break loose again. I have not played online but at my speed I would probably get massacred. Even tough I think the language fits the game perfectly I agree with some that you should have the option of turning it off if you have kids around. I was also underwelmed with the first mission of storming the beach. I know they were trying to ease you into the game but i think they missed the marked and was more confused after the mission than I was before I started.

I highly recommend that you purchase this game, support Relic as they deserve it. Give yourself a treat pick up Company of Heroes.
