2 Stars Simple Sim…
It’s okay… This was my first Sims purchase — I take that back! This was my 2nd Sims purchase; I HAD to buy it because I purchased another Sims product that wouldn’t work without having this one installed first! After installing this one and then installing the 2nd one, I’m unable to use this one… It’s like the 2nd one wrote over the 1st one. I assumed that having both installed, I’d have access to both (?)….

3 Stars Sims 2 for Mac
Well, it still didn’t work well with the mac. I’ve removed it from the computer. It would freeze and some characters, after a while, I’d lose the ability to move them no matter what I’d do.

5 Stars Great Game
Cheaper to buy it here than it is going to be at most places that carry a Mac version of the game even with priority shipping it came out to be less than the retail price of [...]

5 Stars I loved this game
We have both the Mac version and Playstation versions of this game. I love them both. We have gotten hours of entertainment from them. Highly recommended.

What a game!

That’s my main point, but I’ll go more in depth for you incredulous SOBs.

If you don’t know the Sims premise, here it is: I’m a deity, lets mess around with people’s lives.

Being the evil, domineering, and downright cruel person that I am, the Sims is my greatest fantasy. You don’t have to share my personality to have this game cater to your desires; if you like RPGs, simulations, life and style games, career games, or all of the above, the Sims is what you want, nay, what you NEED.

For anyone who has ever played the original Sims and thought: “Man, I wish there was…” or “Wouldn’t it be cool if…” say no more, Sims 2 has got your back.

Game-Play is wonderful: the Sims are very customizable, their lives are manageable, the game is lovable, nuf said. Asypr did let some glitches slide though, there are a few problems with changing households, but they don’t subtract too-much from the game.

I have a decent fast computer, a 13 inch 2.4 Ghz MacBook with 2 GB RAM, and Sims 2 runs like a dream. I only wish I had a better graphics card to improve the frame rate on the 1200×800 screen setting; whatever.

Finally, the service was great. I got my package in 2 days with expedited shipping. If you can’t stand waiting 5 or 6 days, cough up the extra 3 bones: its worth it.

If you haven’t guessed by my review, I rated the whole thing 5 stars. If this game interests you even a little, buy it.

Call of Duty World at War

Call of Duty World at War




Go to war in the final tension-filled, unforgiving battles against a new ferocious enemy in the most dangerous and suspenseful action ever seen in WWII. Call of Duty: World at War completely changes the rules of engagement by redefining WWII gaming. It brings an uncensored edge to combat, as soldiers face the most harrowing and climatic European and Pacific battles. From the remains of Russia and the ruins of Berlin, to the beach and jungles of the deadly Pacific Theater, the volatile action takes on added depth as you employ new features that previously were only available in multiplayer, including perks, rankings and online stats in up-to full four-player cooperative gameplay.

2 Stars No Controller Support
I picked up this game for PC because I really enjoyed it on XBOX 360, but don’t feel like spending the money for the console. The box for this game states that it has game controller support, specifically support for the XBOX 360 controller when used via USB in a PC. This is not the case, and the PC version actually offers no game controller support, despite the fact Activision says it does on the game box. Just a heads up. I was pretty disappointed, and got a pretty lame excuse back from Activision when I inquired about it.

5 Stars COD has done a good job again
All I can say is I am still playing it and it is cool with the zombies, flame thrower, bazooka and bayonet action. Graphic are good especially when you use the flame thrower. Thank God they made a PC version I have them all now and hope the next one they dont wait to put it out in PC as well as Xbox playstation versions. The game is worth playing.

1 Star Bought 2 copies and feel doubly stupid
This is my first product review ever.

I actually bought 2 copies of this game so we could play co-op over the LAN.

I was such a COD fan. COD1, COD1:UO, COD2, COD4. They were all great.

COD5 stinks. I can’t believe that I can’t get my money back. We have two computers that easily meet the minimum specs, but the game is essentially unplayable with incredible long, long load times and choppy performance if you’re patient enough to wait for the game and level to load. We both run COD4 at the highest settings with super smooth game play.

I combed every forum and tried every possible fix. Forget Activision’s own site. It’s worthless.

I think I’ll put the DVD’s in the shredder. That’ll surely be the most fun I’ve had with this game.

4 Stars A good WWII sim, with Co-op
I know the software developer got raked over the coals for Call Of Duty 3, but this was a good game. By splitting the 15 missions between the Eastern Front and the Pacific Islands, you get to alternate flavors.

I’ve never been a big fan of the Call of Duty “limitless enemies until you move to the next checkpoint”, which is one of the few things keeping this from a 5 star rating. If you attack a small bunker, Japanese soldiers should not be able to continuously pour out of it like its a circus clown car. But the overall game is tense, action-packed and has a wide variety of missions.

The zombie level is a bit disappointing after playing Left 4 Dead, but still an interesting spin. If the loading screen didn’t announce what it was, it would have been a fun one to surprise my friends with who had just got the game when we did a LAN session.

The flamethrower is great for the trench fights. You SHOULD be able to pick one up from a German flamthrower that you headsniped, but I guess they are saying it is too much for your Russian peasant brain to handle. A pity that. Plus, it seems strange that the Russian you play is considered to be quite the hero, yet he never gets past the rank of Private.

The single player was enjoyable, but coop brings it to an all new level. Most of the time I am stuck with single player due to time constraints (playing on a laptop at lunch) but online and LAN games are the best. I am very glad they made a coop mode, instead of just the team versus team or deathmatch modes. Now, how about a sequel letting you play as Germans or British in North Africa?

4 Stars Great Game
COD5 is a great game with great graphics, especially with DX10. If you can find the game for under 40 bucks– get it, u’ll love it.
