Slingo Supreme Review

Slingo Supreme

(More customer reviews)
This is a well-polished version of the slot parlor game Slingo. It's been expanded to include a lot of real game options, so that it's not just an exercise in button-pressing and reel-watching.

A cross between slots and Bingo (hence "Slingo"), the game has a lot of elements of chance to it. Your Bingo board is randomly generated, the reels spin at random, and there are powerups and bonuses hidden under certain squares. However, there is actually some strategy and growth involved! You pick game options before starting out, regulated by a "star" system (certain options are more expensive and you only get so many stars to spend) and slot positions ()you can only choose a certain number of options). The more expensive options usually result in easier play or higher scores. You start off very limited, but you unlock options and get more stars in the course of play.

I enjoy fine-tuning the game options to have unique gameplay, and though I suppose I may groow tired of it in weeks to come, it's held my interest a lot longer than many more expensive games. For seven bucks you really can't go wrong, and the half-hour trial givers you a decent chance to tell whether you love it or hate it. I play a couple of games while doing other chores on my computer and it's been fun.

So why not five stars? Well, I play World of Warcraft, and I was hoping to have a background game to play while taking those long Gryphon rides. Unfortunately Slingo Supreme won't allow that; it complains that you need to update DirectX. I imagine it's getting an error code from the graphics card while initializing and just assumes the drivers are outdated. So, it looks like I'll be playing Mahjong Titans during lulls in the WoW action. Oh well. I still don't regret the purchase.

Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection Review

Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection is the video game my daughter was waiting for.
A quick overview:In the original Zoo Tycoon, you are in control of a Zoo building scheme, similar to other "tycoon" games on the market.The original game had many animals and features, and allowed you to solve problem scenarios and create you own free form Zoo.However, I thought the original Zoo Tycoon had rather limited selections for the money.
In the first expansion pack, Zoo Tycoon Dinosaur Digs, they went a little way to solving the limitations by giving you Dinosaurs to create your own version of "Jurassic Park".It also added (finally!) some themed concessions to make your Dino park even more of a time travelling adventure.But, it too was fairly expensive for an expansion.
In the second expansion pack, Zoo Tycoon Marine Mania, "Sea World" type attractions were added, along with some new theming concessions and other things that went a long way to solving the problems of the original limits of the game.
For a long while, some other additions were only available online.Several Endangered animals and some weird ones like Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster took quite a bit of download time to add to your park creation capabilities.
But now, in Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection, we have a truly complete collection.Not only is the original Zoo Tycoon included, but the Dinosaur Digs expansion, the Marine Mania expansion, =and= all of the previously only available by download material.
The added feature of being able to see a few facts about your animals in a special window could make this game an educational experience.Making sure your animals have the proper terrain teaches that animals prefer the environment they originally lived in, and may help reinforce people's thoughts to preserving the few endangered animals that are in the wild.
I'm almost a Tycoon game addict, I love this package.I've played this so much I can see it in my sleep.I really enjoyed the effort the company made to include the previously downloadable only material.The four sections of the game crate a truly complete collection, just as advertised.
When considering Christmas presents for children, or a special treat for tycoon game loving adults, I find myself telling people about Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection, where I never did while it was all available in separate parts.Former fans of Zoo Tycoon will enjoy the fact that everything's included.New players will enjoy the easy scenarios, while experienced Tycooners will have the real tough problem scenarios they love.Highly recommended.

I am really amazed at how many variations to Mah Jong this game has.I've been playing Mah Jong PC games for years, and this one beats all of them.There are endless variations and even one based on dominos. You never get frustrated because if you keep losing at one variation, you can go ahead and choose from endless others.Also, the music is beautiful, soothing, and calming.Can't say enough good things about this Mah Jong Quest III.

PulseWave 2 Premium PC Gaming Headset Review

PulseWave 2 Premium PC Gaming Headset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
So I've owned and still own a lot of gaming headsets for the pc, as I am a heavy pc gamer. FPS, RTS, mmorpg, you name it. Also the robust listener in music and I watch my share of movies through netflix on my pc.

I look for quality in a headset. This, I mean a headset that can do fairly well in all aspects. I don't want a headset that is pure bass, or a headset with a faulty component (I've had too many shares of faulty microphones, speakers, cables, usb, driver issues, etc.)

Now, I am giving my feedback on this headset based on currently owning a logitech g35, steelseries siberia v2 with usb sound card, creative fatality hs1000, plantronics 367, and razer carcharias.

Obviously, teknmotion isn't as well know as the brands above. But it isn't a non-existent company. It has its fair share of consumers, and the pulsewave is a pretty popular headset. The version 2 is just a revised version, but nothing major. I'm not sure what they revised to begin with, but checking out reviews of version 1, I can't find a difference.

So first of all, people with windows 7, 64 bit, this works perfectly. no driver issues. put in the cd, put in the headset, and your good to go.

this part is where people criticize headsets quite often. This headset is definitely not flimsy whatsoever. The mic is detachable, but the boom is not super thin, and the area around where the ports plug in are reinforced with athicker covering, so no need to be scared of removing and attaching the mic often. (personally, I just keep it on, and swing it up when not in use)

comfort: i'm gonna say that the comfort is good, not the best, but definitely doesn't kill your ears like some headsets i've worn. I've worn for 6 hours straight. And although my ears did get somewhat tender, It's not the *painful* when you wear it kind of tender. I only realized it when I actually removed the headset. The top of my head had NO NO NO discomfort whatsoever, so don't worry about the headband.

Sound: Sound is great, let me just say that. I'm not talking in an audiophiles perspective. But for the gamer, or the casual music listener, and for watching movies. Wow, sound is great. Loud, Clear, no static on highs, bass is AMAZING!! and also you can set levels for the headset to vibrate if you'd like (during bass-y moments)- About the flashing lights, yes, you can set it to flash lights. However, it's not super disco flashy, it's adequate. OR you can just turn off the lights altogether, no biggy (there is a switch on the in-line controller)

-the material of the ear cups are that of a synthetic leather, but they appear to be quite durable, and comfortable. Those of you worrying about sweat in ears. I didn't experience any sweat after 6 hours, so don't worry about that.

-Mic is very very responsive. I had to actually lower my skype mic volume to 30% because I was loud. No static heard from the other party from vent, skype, in-game from windows live gaming. Very adjustable, also.

-cable is a little over 6 feet which is more than adequate for me, and hopefully for any pc users, unless you have a pc connected to a huge hdtv, then 6 feet may not be long enough.

All in all, for 52 bucks (amazon has the cheapest price), this is a VERY good buy. I would give it a 9/10. for an overall headset, and 10/10 for its price.

Personally, I see no flaws. It's not the greatest or best headset, but in terms of actual flaws, I see none at all. If you don't have at least 100 bucks to spend on a headset, I'd recommend getting these. If you have a hundred dollars, I recommend the logitech g35 or the steelseries siberia v2.

if you have 150, I recommend the seinheisser gaming headset (150 on amazon only)

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Second Edition Review

Remember folks, this is a simulator.DO NOT DO WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS GAME IN REAL LIFE.

Now with that legal disclaimer out of the way, here is my review: While I enjoyed driving around the State of San Andreas, it's too bad that some lawyer with nothing better to do cried like a little baby and made Rockstar neuter the game (called "Cold Coffee" by fans) - the one reason alone it doesn't get a 5 star rating.You start life in Los Santos (Los Angeles) having been release from prison.You're picked up by a couple of crooked cops who take you to your rival's turf.

Fans who want the "goods": This is the "Second Edition" which makes your coffee cold:(
Gameplay?It takes a moment, but it's a blast once you're used to the controls.Highly recommended for the 18+ crowd who are mature and responsible about things.

Parents: This is NOT for the kids.There's a reason it's rated M for Mature.

2010 FIFA World Cup Review

2010 FIFA World Cup
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this game yesterday and so far I'm very impressed.

This is by far the best world cup EA has created in their FIFA World Cup series. The atmosphere, graphics, and user interface are much improved over last world cup.

First, the positives:

The game play is pretty realistic. The defense is much harder to break down than in previous versions, which seems to keep the scoreline in check.

The online mode is awesome. You can actually pick a team and challenge other teams in world cup.

As far as the graphics go, I believe they're pretty strong. Stadiums, game action, and atmosphere, everything looks good. The crowds make you feel you are actually in the stadium.

Having 199 teams is a huge plus. You can even pick Afghanistan. LOL

Having two Button game play is a great addition for new comers in game.

Penalty kicks have improved and they are alot harder to score.

Btw the Goal looks bigger.
The negatives:You still can`t play against friends in 2 vs 2 match up.

There are no clubs in it, but that doesn't bother me since I have Fifa 09 and Fifa 10.

Overall. it's a great game. If you want more features and clubs go buy Fifa 10, but if you want better graphics more International teams get this. This

game comes out every 4 years so I didn't mind paying for it and enjoy having my hometown team in there. So if you are hardcore fan of soccer or your

country didn`t make it to world cup buy this. You won't regret.Take care and I'll see you online! :)

Battlefield 2 Review

Battlefield 2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been playing the Battlefield franchise since the first demo, and have owned Battlefield 2 since its launch circa 2 years ago.Although the series has had its ups and down, (with the pinnacle being the BF1942 modification Desert Combat by Frank Delise and crew), with the recent crop of Battlefield games being mindless cash ins, (ever sine EA bought out DICE games and Trauma Studios).Nevertheless, Battlefield 2 is the best retail version you can currently buy.With that being said, there are several issues with BF2 that have only gotten worse with each subsequent EA/DICE patch which has led to a drastic inbalance in the game, with air power completely dominating in every level, (although there are infantry only levels).When the game first launched, the balance was fairly adequate, and ground troops using mobile AA or the defenses on a carrier could take out a pilot who was repeatedly bombing a spawn point, but that has changed.The only way to actually take out another plane is to be flying in the air, and to dogfight him/her until only one of you is surviving.This leads to several issues that almost have completely ruined a lot of the enjoyment one can experience in Battlefield 2.First, most people camp the planes, (I've seen 8 people camp for an a10, 7 for a j10), and some will force a teamkill on you if you happen to get in the plane before them, (putting your score in certain areas in the negative ).This is incredibly frustrating, and although I understand that jerks are abundant online, I'm surprised a patch doesn't prevent forced tk's.If you enjoy flying, as I do, I recommend joining smaller servers.

When all is said and done though, this is still an excellent game and much better than BF2142 (mostly because of no ads), but you will have to have patience and play on a decent server to gain much enjoyment out of it.Really, I'm only playing it until Quake Wars is released in a month or so.I am certain that the people over at ID Software will pump out yet another quality release that is balanced in every respect, much like Enemy Territory for PC is to this day.I will all but abandon BF2 once Quake Wars comes out, because EA/DICE have pretty much dropped BF2 like a bad habit since their spyware/adware infested BF2142 game came out, (which is completely subpar in every way imaginable).

If you are a new player, then I recommend this pack, (with all of the expansions), but know that you will be at a disadvantage for at least the first 100 hours of play time.Veteran players have a majority of the weapon unlocks, (gained through an experience points system of sorts), and you will not be able to compete in ground combat for the most part, unless you are in a vehicle.As far as system specs go, they are not as demanding as they were 2 years ago, and a medium build machine should run this flawlessly.Finally, if you want to ever be a good pilot, invest in a solid joystick, because you will be a sitting duck with a mouse and keyboard in a jet.I can usually tell who is flying with a mouse/keyboard, and they are always my priority targets.

At the end of the day, this is still a great game, but has been bogged down by a lack of support, major nerfing of infantry weapons (c4 especially), and EA's overall disregard for their player base and for the bottom line.Honestly, as much as I love the Battlefield series, this is my last Battlefield game because I have a lot of disdain for EA due to its ill will towards the community.Also, this is most likely the final Battlefield game that will ever be Ad free/Billboard free.EA/DICE's recent deal with major advertising agencies essentially makes this a sad trend.
