The expansion is very well done. The new content is inventive, engaging, and very well produced. So why only 2 stars? The new instances and raid content are way too easy. Blizzard didn't just dumb this game down, they emasculated it.

Video Games : World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition
The extra doodads that come with the Collector's Edition are nice, but a month from now, will you really still want that Frostwyrm in-game pet, or that mousepad? Will you actually read the strategy guide after day one? I flipped through the original and TBC guides that came with the World of Warcraft Battlechest, and they helped me learn the basics of the game, but there's nothing in there that benefits my everyday gameplay; the Internet offers more comprehensive information, more quickly, than the books.

If you want a few new toys and a stylish box, buy the Collector's Edition. If you just want to play the game, buy the regular edition. If you're new to World of Warcraft, don't bother with Wrath of the Lich King just yet. Get the Battlechest (includes the original game, The ... Read More

I spent a lot of time playing this game. Think Morrowind in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC, and that's what this game is about. If you aren't a fan of long dialogues and storylines this may not be the game for you. If you like a nice mix of action, adventure, and role-playing this game should be on your short list. It's one of my top games of all time.

When will they learn? EA is finally starting to put out some decent or even good games and they go and ruin it. I played the beta and thought it was quite fun, however I will NOT be buying this game. Say what you will about SecuROM being spyware, but there is no denying the install limit. I will not allow EA to tell me how to use my LEAGALLY purchased game.

I wonder what the suits at EA are thinking? Its obvious this has done NOTHING to prevent priacy (in fact it appears to increase it) so why is it still being used? I can download a FREE copy and install it as many times as I want, but if I pay for it I am limited to 5 installs! I know EA only cares about the money, but this still baffels me. What is the point in hurting paying customers when it does NOTHING to deter priracy? Maybe when they ... Read More

The Haunting of Castle Malloy is another well thought out programmed PC Game! I have never been disappointed with any of the Nancy Drew Series and this one is no exception. Again it educates in a most poignant way about the area or location of the world you are at. I literally had to search the internet to learn how to play and score in darts! And now I know how to play darts. I became quite the "Mixer" when I had to serve at the Irish Pub. Some parts are a wee bit tricky lass, like once you program the jet pack. If you are not in the location the game somehow needs you to be at you will explode and die but come back to life often.lol Also when you are jet packing about I thought I could fly up into the heavens...not so I lost fuel and had to be given another chance. Look I am an adult and I never leave any ... Read More

This is another game where the publisher has decided to treat its customers like pirates. I thought that if I bought the game through Steam I wouldn't have to deal with Securom, after all Steam has its own DRM system. The thing I like about Steam is that I don't need to have a CD in the drive and if I loose my data I can always download another copy of the game. Trade off - No resale value or second hand market.

Now, WHY IS FARCRY2 BUNDLED WITH SECUROM AND 5 INSTALLS IF YOU BUY IT THRU STEAM???? WTF is this? How am I pirating the game after I bought it through Steam and why I can only get to install it 5 times??? Why am I being treated like a pirate? Since when you only get 5 installs when it comes to PC games. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen, this limited use is ilegal and unethical.

The "unofficial" word is that Apartment Life will be the final expansion pack for the Sims 2 line. I don't really know if that's true, but if so Apartment Life closes the series on an up note.

Along with Seasons and Nightlife, Apartment Life is one of my favorite expansions. I really like the apartment feature, it's been long overdue. It's so much easier now to start off a sim newly graduated from University by having them live in an apartment. It's so much easier to get them suitable living quarters.

I am so glad we finally have spiral stairs and playground equipment. They were both very much needed 4+ expansions ago.

The social townies can be kind of annoying in a way, but the reputation feature is nice. One thing I don't like is how the new social greetings will mess up the greetings ... Read More

I totally lost a weekend with this game. I had just relocated my copies of the first 2 so it was a breeze to get out and start the questing. Found ammo tough to come by especially for the Scoped 44 that was a huge early find for me. Lots of lock ups on exit even with patch with data loss on 2 occaisions that really hurt (save often).
Nothing new really the story line not very satisfying and end game too limited but as a way to kill time it is deadly to spare hours. If you liked the first two you will probably like this.
