131.Myst 3: Exile from: Ubisoft

Video Games : Myst 3: Exile
I hated the first and second Myst games. (That's a nice way to start a review.) Although I found the concept interesting, and the visuals good for their days, it lacked everything else. Myst III, is the first in the series that is worth your while.

The problem with the series, is that it's not like other games. Myst is about solving mysteries and undoing puzzles. It's a neat idea. However, it attracts a very narrow audience. The story lines had very little suspence or character development. Also, the puzzles required a lot of thinking and could easily make you throw your mouse in frustration (and I mean 'throw'). The only people who enjoyed the previous Myst games had the patience of a saint.

However, Myst III is everything the series should have been. Basically, Atris ... Read More

I played this game when it first came out nearly a decade ago and loved it. I was really pleased to find it was available for Win XP. The graphics are the same and the experience was just as pleasant as it was ten years ago. Great adventure game that makes you think. It is a little slow, but the artwork, sound and dialogue more than make up for it. I love it and will keep it for perhaps another decade.

I bought this 3-Pack of Dora games for my 3 1/2 year old daughter; the first night she played for 2 1/2 hours straight and she still plays them everynight. They are fun and educational and keep her very entertained, and she is so proud of herself when she solves the games. She started out on Level 1 on all 3 games and after a month she is already doing the Level 3 version. Great for teaching colors, counting, numbers, and other skills.

I have played a lot of other Barbie games and so I got this one since it had some good reviews. I found this game pretty boring and very easy though I think I'm a bit older than the age it is supposed to be geared for.
My younger sister who is the right age did not find the game interesting but she has liked other barbie games such as Barbie diaries: High School Mystery, and Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper which are fun games were you can dress up barbie and make her do all the sorts of dress up things most little girls like to do.

Video Games : Leisure Suit Larry Collection
These are the original games complete with the lowest possible resolution and frequent insults. I had forgotten how annoying it was to sign it by answering age sensitive questions and digging something out of the manual (which is now 57 pages you must print out). That annoyance remains. It's a great glimpse into the past and the jokes (insults) are as funny as ever.

138.Myst from: Ubisoft
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Video Games : Myst
Myst is a fun, fascinating, addictive, and very difficult first person puzzle adventure game with a good storyline. The plot isn't immediately obvious, but is revealed bit by bit and finally in its entirety at the end. You must figure things out partly through making inferences based on what you know and partly through written clues.

Finishing takes patience (it's a LONG game) and an ability to figure things out that aren't immediately obvious and/or cheating by using strategy guide (you can buy one or find one on the internet) or asking someone who's played before.

The game's settings are each innovative, very pretty, and feel very realistic, with the exception of the water in Myst (it looks like a giant green mat). Rand Miller's performance in the game as the character of Atrus is good enough, ... Read More

This game is one of the greatest games I've ever played. Definitely worth buying!

Pros: You get to play as Spidey and Venom. Venom's awesome, even though it's pretty brutal to suck life out of innocent people ;(. Apart from that, the first(yes, I mean very first) thing that will catch your attention are the graphics. HA, every comic book fan will love it! And all the landmarks are great, like the Brooklyn Bridge and Central Park! Standing on top of a skyscraper and then diving down towards the street really makes you feel great.


Cons: Although NYC is modeled almost perfectly, if you have a machine that's a little under the req.'s, you will experienxe choppy gameplay that can be confusing at times:).The camera isn't perfect either. And the city goals get really repetitive after awhile. The city ... Read More

Video Games : Grand Theft Auto 3
So many people did not play the original GTA games, that that is alright. This was, when it came out, the most advanced and risky engine for a game yet conceived. This game changed the way we play video games.
Really, the first GTA (plus it's expansion) and GTA II were so much fun to play that we thought at the time that no one could ever top this. Since then, Rockstar has proven us wrong and gone above and beyond to create GTA games that almost consistently topped the one before (I do not count the PSP ones, they were weak and were only created to sell PSP's).
So if you have played any of the GTA games and want to try more, this one is a classis, a legend if you will, and will be forever.
The replay value of all of the GTA games is astonishing.
