1-0 out of 5 stars As Lame as YDKJ Gets!
I am a YDKJ fan, I have been for years.I have to say that the Television and Movies games are lame.You would have to really be a YDKJ addict, as well as an addict of TV shows which are mostly from the 70s and 80s to enjoy this game.I was totally disappointed to see these games after playing the original and The Ride.If you want a fun trivia game, it is YDKJ, but spend your money on one that is worth it- The Ride is tops.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good game
If you love YOU DON'T KNOW JACK like I do, then I am sure you will like this game. It is a little bit harder than the others because it deals solely with TV, but it is fun just the same. It's a challange though, so watch out!

3-0 out of 5 stars YDKJ TV is good... but only "if"
By all means, I love the "You Don't Know Jack" series, but the TV version is a toss-up. Sure, it carries the spunk of all the other YDKJ games, but if you aren't a TV jockey, then you don't stand a chance in this quiz show! If you like funny, off-the-wall (and sometimes crude) quiz games, you MUST look into this franchise! But the TV version? Only buy if you watch too much TV for your own good. Really. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and get one of the other titles. You can't go wrong with "The Ride."

5-0 out of 5 stars TV
Did you think that watching 4 hours of TV a day would be good for nothing? YOU DON'T KNOW JACK!

Of course a bit hesitant at first I realized these creatorsmade something very well thought out. They have combined humour with a very,complex at times, entaining and well thought out game.

Amazon.com Review

Many action games begin with a catastrophic event, but none matchesthe intensity of the opening level of Half-Life, a first-personshooter published by Sierra Studios. Utilizing a heavily modifiedQuake 2 engine, the game follows a day in the life of Gordon Freeman, amild-mannered scientist who inadvertently opens a portal to an aliendimension.

As Gordon, you'll battle a variety of hostile alien creatures and some not-so-friendly government soldiers while you attempt to escape from theunderground--and heavily ravaged--testing facility. Featuring both an engaging,atmospheric single-player experience and frenetic multiplayer action(supporting both local network and Internet play), Half-Life is currently one ofthe best games of it type.

What makes Half-Life special is its combination of crisp 3-D graphics (supporting many 3-D hardware accelerators), creepy ambient sound effects, andnail-biting action, which creates an immersive, movie-like experience. In momentsreminiscent of the movie Aliens, creatures leap from behind desks,drop down out of air vents, and pounce from dark corners--nowhere is safe, andyou'll often feel overwhelmed and outgunned. Speaking of weapons,Half-Life features an imaginative offensive and defensive arsenal,from a simple crowbar to the explosive heat-seeking rocket launcher andcrafty crossbow. If you're looking for an action-packed, story-oriented gamethat continues to impress after many hours, check out Sierra's Half-Life. --Doug Radcliffe ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Dark and Brilliant Thrill Ride
Gordon Freeman is a scientist assigned to the secretive, subterranean bowels of a desert research facility. An experiment in particle physics goes awry, space is ruptured, and through the breach comes all manner of alien nasties.

The plot sounds cliche, but that's only because so many games have since imitated (or tried to) what Half-Life pioneered. The game is a FPS of great quality and unusually effective storytelling (it demonstrates a classic show-don't-tell technique) and weaves an unsettling atmosphere that is tough to shake. As Freeman tries to escape from his labyrinthine workplace to the promise of upper ground, a spectacular pace is set as he confronts nightmarish enemies... not all of which are alien.

If you don't have Half-Life as part of your gaming collection, here's why you should:

1. A paranoid, oppresive claustrophobia is built quickly and skillfully. There are no cut-scenes to break the spell. Once you begin playing, you're locked inside an unfolding nightmare. Few games (and fewer films) have ever managed to craft such a relentless atmosphere.

2. The AI is chillingly realistic. This is all the more impressive when you realize this isn't a new game. Enemies demonstrate intelligence, tactical planning, and behave as few video game creations do.

3. As mentioned above, Half-Life pulls a challenging story-telling stunt. As Gordon Freeman, you never get all the answers. No book with The Solution falls into your lap, and no omniscient character fills in all the blanks. Instead, the plot unfolds with nuance and implication... allowing a player to draw his/her own conclusions. This could easily have backfired. Instead, it works.

4. The alien creatures are masterfully depicted. Two of them are so disturbingly realistic that I can completely believe somewhere in the universe they actually exist: the "ceiling barnacles", and some creepy things that emit an ear-splitting sonic attack while convulsing their malformed bodies.

Enough said. Half-Life is an own-it experience.

1-0 out of 5 stars not compatible with Windows XP
Ihate to say this? but this game is not compatible with Windows XP OS, so owners of newest Dell computers have to install compatible OS.

5-0 out of 5 stars An old game still worth buying...
Made in 98, but still better quality, play, and design than most games on the market in '05.Good storyline, great AI and graphics, not-overly aggressive system requirments, tons of add-ons available.Incredible single player mode, good weapon selection, and arguably one of the best FPS online games of all time.If you like HALO, you will like Halflife.Very similar, but no limit on how many weapons you can carry, and the levels aren't as repetative.(My biggest complaint about Halo, though it's obvious why, many of the levels and hallways are exact copies of one you've seen dozens of times already...gives a feeling of being lost, and even fed up at times.) Halo does have the edge as far as cars and what not though. I also recommend Halflife 2, the sequel to what I'm talkin about here...INSANE graphics and gameplay.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best
You know, you shouldn't even have to read the reviews.If you see that this game has 4 1/2 stars, even though it was made way back in 98, you should know that its good.But good doesn't describe this game.Its better than great, excellent, or even outstanding.I'm going to have to say that this game is groundbreaking.Before this game, shooters were shooters.This game is a shooter that just happens to have a Final Fantasy quality storyline as well.And don't think that you'll be sitting around all day watching cinemas.No, the entire story is delivered to you in real time via other characters talking.*Note*This is not one game you want to play with the sound off!I'll now break the game up into 5 major categories, Graphics, Sound, Story, Gameplay, and overall fun.

Graphics are a biggy in a gamers life.Now adays with HL2 and Doom 3 out, were getting spoiled, and expect graphics like that when about 4% of all the nations PC's are capable of it.Half Life's graphics are very good, but you can easily see why it was made in 1998.The close up images are extremely pixelated, and blocky.But the overall movement is smooth, and if your rig can handle it, the cranked up Graphics are the best eyecandy available for games made in that time period.18/20

Sound is also a major factor in this game.Creepy sounds coming from unseen creatures, characters talking and giving away the great story, and finally fantastic weaponry sound effects.20/20

Story is one of the big plusses in this game, and rightfully so.Fantastic is all I will say.Fantastic story.Fantastic story telling.Fantastic Pace.Nuf said.20/20

Gameplay is big in this game as well.The controls are phenomanal(sp.), the menu is easily accesable, and switching through weapons is a breeze.Only problem is that there are alot of buttons to get used to.Still, if your commited, this category is also a winner.18/20

Finally, this is overall a very fun game.Stressed out?Tired from work?Then pop in Half Life and sit back.Blowing away monsters is a very good stress reliever.Add to that that the gory effects are great(blood splatters, organs and bones flying all over the place) if you are not turned off by blood.But if you are, why the hell are you playing an M game with a guy holding a gun on the front cover?!20/20

Final score 96/100 which means this game is a rare gem that you should indulge upon immedietly.I can't wait for our new computer to arrive so I can get Half Life 2!Oh yeah.I forgot to tell you it has an absolute kick @$$ online mode!

5-0 out of 5 stars The best.....nuff' said
Half Life Revolutionized PC gaming.It is one of the greatest IF not The best pc game ever made.It has bin said that from almost every Pc Mag or Game mag.I was a few to own this masterpiece when it first hit stores and all I can say is...wow

This game really changed about the FPS gaming.It just made me think different about FPS.It truly is a masterpiece.I won't spoil this games amazing story of the g man's adventure.I wont even say how good this game is you just have to play it for your self.

The graphics for that time was amazing and so will the upcoming HALF LIFE 2 BABY!nuff said

The gameplay.......You're a moron if You acctually think I'm gonna go into that since we already no how incredible the game is....Nuff' said


The story is what makes this game...a game..it's not just any shooter...it's history in the making..well for games atleast...

I'm just gonna make this short and sweet for you...

THIS GAME IS AMAZING!

Of course this deserves a

5 out of 5 stars!!!!!!!

Robot Wars is a phenomenal game. First i will tell you about the arenas. the original one is in london and is the one they use in the tv show. It has a floor fliper, pit, spikes flame throwers and a pit. The Volcano arena is in Tanzania and doesnt have any thing except a nuke that is ready to blast off. The militairy base is in russia and has a big pit. It also has a bunch of landmines and it is funny when sir killalot drives on one. The Rooftop arena is on a japanese skyscraper. It has a skylight which brakes or you could just push a robot of the side. The scrapyard arena is in Brazil. it has a crusher. The steel factory is in New York. It has a lava pit and a botomles hole. My favorite arena is the oil rig. It is in The north sea. It has a giant drill flame throwers and a gap in the fence

The robots include the winner of series 2 panic attack, the winner of series 3 and 4 chaos 2, the winner of series 5 razer, behemoth, firestorm, pussycat, terrorhurtz, mortis, thor, hypnodisc and diotior. Or you can make your own with a lot of diffrent shapes, wheels, batterys, weapons, armor and extras.

4-0 out of 5 stars GREAT GAME
I am a huge robot wars fan, and I got this game for my birthday, and its great its got some of the great Robot Wars competitor robots Firestorm, Behemoth, The two time Uk champion Chaos 2, Panik attack, And the World champion Razer there are a few inacurate things the damage is a little unrealistic the whole armour can be ripped away the voice overs a little off (He's not Jonethon Pierce.) but its a great game, and you can build your own robot. If you like Robot Wars you will want this game even if you don't like robot wars or you don't know what it is buy it.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best games ever made!
Yes yes, i agree. Damage is unrealistic ect... ect... But all this
unrealism gives fun at 100%. Think about it. For example Max Payne.
No one can go in bullettime. Blame it, it's unrealistic. But you like it. So think about this game and dont blame it unless you did.

P.S I dont blame Max payne, i love the game. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Not even remotely worth the asking price
The only fun I've ever had playing any of the You Don't Know Jack games is in the dead of winter, drunk, and extremely bored. There is NO WAY this set is worth what is being asked for it. I 'might' pay $$$ including S&H if I had cash to burn. Just doing general browsing, I'm noticing that ALL collections of older Sierra games are way way way way way overpriced. Fairly warned be thee says I. You are a fool to pay what is being asked for these Sierra games. It's not like they clean your house or anything else super marvelous. Can anyone explain to me how this 3 game set of old trivia games is worth $$$ ? I just don't get it. But hey! if you want to .... your money, go for it.

5-0 out of 5 stars You Don't Know Jack Pack
The You Don't Know Jack Pack Contains Sports Movies, and Television.Movies: Includes 800 questions about the silver screen. Television is good for people who like TV. Sports talks about hockey, football, and any other sport. So if you don't have the themes, Get The Jack Pack!

5-0 out of 5 stars I loved it!
I bought this pack myself and am now wanting more of them because they are so much fun. The first Jack! games were awesome. These are even better. My family, and friends all like playing this together when we have a party. Weset it up on the monitor in our living room and we have a ball. Greatcompetition. The questions are hilarious. Hope they keep making more.Better than that "millionaire" game.

5-0 out of 5 stars More Jack
This collection is very enjoyable.It contains the 3 THEME discs in the series, but be warned.Just because, they are called "Movies", "Television" and "Sports", doesn't mean they won'tthrow a monkey wrench in the works.I found a "Brady Bunch"question on the Sports Edition (seems most tv series questions, in theentire 9 cd series, happens to be Brady Bunch questions).I bought these 3cds individually, but this box set is a good buy as they are slowly (likeall the other old Jacks) getting discontinued.Get it while you can.As Isaid in my review of the new game "Louder Faster Funnier"thisis the best Trivia game series for pc ever and will probably buy them alluntil they stop making them.

3-0 out of 5 stars Good, but outdated
Similar to all of the other YDKJ products, this one is a real hoot. The only complaint I can come up with is concerning the time period of most of the questions. Being a young whipper-snapper playing these games is quitedifficult, as close to 90% of the questions are before my time. I woulddefinitely recommend this to adults that have a witty sense of humor anddon't mind the sexual innuendo. (Not all content is suitable for kids.)Andmake sure you were born before the 70's or have a vast knowledge of oldersports, movies, and television. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Addictive? Not half!
This is, quite simply, the most addictive game available on the PC. The Multiplayer format is particularly intense and a heck of a lot of fun.

Fans of both the Alien and Predator movies should appreciate this game more than most. The single player missions in particular capture the essence of the films; when playing as human do not turn off the lights and remember it's just a game is my advice.

A few minor tweaks have improved upon AvP2, and gameplay overall is better. Graphics are still fairly average, and this often makes people smirk at the apparent poor quality. However, I would say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder; the game may not have as slick graphics as titles such as Halo or Half Life 2 but it means that you don't have to have a top of the range PC to run it! But as I said, the game is generally better; one thing's for sure, and that's that the multiplayer gaming is AWESOME:

This is the addictive aspect of the game; playing online is so enjoyable that you can get lost in the action. I won't go into detail about the different types of match or characters but suffice it to say that there's enough to cater for most FPS fans whatever their flavour:

Like stealth? Be a predator and suck in your stomach as people walk close enough by you to use your claws. Like to get stuck in? Nothing better than surpising your prey from the shadows and ripping them apart as an alien. Want a mean arsenal? Corporates or Marines both carry enough fire power to make a small hole in the moon if they felt the need.

Newcomers, or Noobs (got to learn the lingo when you get online), might find the veterans intimidating with their frags going up and up but it's easy enough to soon become a killer yourself, join a clan, and start lecturing the noobs yourself after 2 weeks :)

I haven't yet played a game that can scare you, whip you into a frenzy, or make you laugh (insert evil laughter here) as well as Alien versus Predator 2: Primal Hunt expansion pack.

Buy it. Join the collective. You won't be dissapointed.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great first person shooter
While the graphics and animation of this game are not the leading edge, it is still a fun and challenging game. A perfect buy for the Alien or Predator fan.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great expansion pack
AvP2: Primal Hunt is a great expansion pack for AvP2. If you've liked the game, you'll like what this pack has to offer.
I sort of regret it doesn't offer more missions for each species, if I remember right I think there's only 3 per each, which means 9 new levels total in this pack.
If you've played AvP2 then pick up this expansion pack as well, it will fill in some gaps and tie some lose ends in the story.

5-0 out of 5 stars A very good expansion pack to an amazing game!
Alien vs Predator 2 is my favourite computer game of all time and I feel that this expansion pack helps to complete the game.

Let's face it, there is no way that you could top the 1 player in Avp 2, it is just the best first person shooter game I ever played and the thought that it could get any better is mind boggling. The 1 player missions in this version are shorter because there are only 9 of them, however keep in mind that this is just an expansion, not a stand alone game so I wasn't really expecting more, some people may have set their expectations a little high (just like a movie sequel). However this is still a very good fps game and I think the makers were trying to make something slightly different from the first AvP 2 so things don't get too repetative. The fact is that most people don't want you to mess with a good thing. This expansion packs storyplot ties in with AvP2's storyplot, its sort of a prequil.

-I like Dunya's missions because you get to use the sentry guns and the turret gun for the first time, and you also can use duel pistols-like in the first AvP where you could use duel pistols, but AvP2 dropped that for some reason. Most of Dunya's missions still keep some of the creepy atmosphere as in AvP 2 so I would rate the Corporate mercinery's missions as a success.
-The Acient Predator's missions are also good, you get to hunt some wild animals at the beginning and then get frozen and wake up in a strange time. The energy flachette is an okay weapon, its about the only rapid firing weapon the predator has, however I never use it anyway. What I really love is when we get implanted by the face hugger, great story twist if you ask me, and where you die, the predalien picks up.
-I found the predaliens missions to be rather disappointing, because out of the three missions you get, 2 are used up as a facehugger and a chest burster, even AvP 2 only used one mission for your life cycle. However the remaining mission for the predalien is pretty good and I'm glad the makers let you head bite now, I never really understood why they took away the predaliens inner mouth in the first place, why would the predalien burst without an inner mouth? The drone from a human has one, the runner from a quadroped has one, there is no reaon to take it out.....Well Primal Hunt didn't actually put it in, but you can still head bite which is important because you get barely any health from slashing the corpses, and if you look closely, the predalien's headbite still doesn't give you very much health.

Now the improvements in multiplayer are where the game really shines! AvP2:Primal Hunt included the things that AvP2 left out, There are new levels, including the dropzone which allows humans to use sentry guns and turret guns, and a few more new levels with sentry guns (and the marines and corporates can use duel pistols). You also can use the new acient predator in multiplayer which you couldn't use before. I like the new predator cloak too, because unlike the oringinal AvP2, your oponents can't highlight your name while your cloaked, whick may not sound like a very big deal, but it makes a huge difference when you are stalking a human because humans basically shoot at watever name they highlight. As the predator you are still practically impossible to see by a human if you DON'T MOVE and I am seen much more frequntly by people in the original AvP2 when I'm stalking them then I am in Primal Hunt, and you can stay cloaked for longer. I'm kind of confused as to the reason why the health bar and energy bars are red now, its not as pretty to look at but whatever. You can also use the energy flachette (no big deal) but, of course lets not forget the best thing about being a pred in multiplayer now...You can slef destruct! This isn't really a good or effective weapon...but, let's face it...you can't not self destruct! I feel like a real pred when I blow myself up rather then give my opponents the kill! Improvements on the aliens are of course the fact that the predalien can headbite, some people don't like this but it is necissary when your the predalien, its tough enough to survive in muliplayer as it is, let alone without the ability to gain health, and the game kept it as fair as possible seeing as you don't get much health in the first place, if your down to minimal helth, you need to bite like 5 heads to get back to full health, and the predalien is also the slowest of the aliens. Another alien improvement is that facehuggers and chestbursters can open vents now, and when your character is stunned, you can move just a little so your not completely helpless. Oh, and I also noticed that your name doesn't have a number in front of it anymore, which is small but I dont understand why we had numbers in front of our names in the first place. There are less servers on all the time on this version, there's less choices, however I feel less overwelmed and its easier to find your friends that you make online

So in conclusion, if you really enjoyed Aliens vs Predator 2 and you like its multiplayer, I encourage you to get the expansion pack Aliens vs Predator 2: Primal Hunt, its not very expensive and its deffinelty worth it, and if you've never played AvP2, get the gold version if you like the alien and predator movies or just shooting games for that matter.I'm going to go play some multiplayer on Primal Hunt now, my servers are usually re-enactments of the alien or predator movies, or of Alien vs Predator. I pride myself on being the first server to host movie remakes (unfortunetly many servers are copying me now) and my re-enactments are always very accurate to the movie, more accurate then any other server. If your ever playing on the multiplayer look me up, my name is G () Z M O <RAT>.

4-0 out of 5 stars AvP2 primal hunt
I am a major fan of AvP2, it is a amazingly good game, i agree compltly with these other people going on about the game having no real plot, the motion tracker blimbing, the dark corridors, the screams! the hive, the only good thing about this game i found was that there was sentrys aviable on "some" maps I am really angry that they did not put them in ally, or qurantine
also i good thing to make this game a sucsuss is that there ned to be better maps bigger ones with bases and stuff like that, so hunmans can use there vicles, MP isfun but its just a big blood bath, people want CooP ness or atleast a battlefield forstperson stratgy like reneagde
but this is an amzing game dont let that through you off, the preds claoking has been made more easy to see gives newbes a better chance but hey they still die lol

Amazon.com Product Description

Diabo's smite-the-evil action made the game a hit, but its random story generator, which greatly changes the layout, foes, and quests each time a player restarts, made it a game numerous game developers want to copy. The story is straightforward: an evil demon named Diablo has wiped out your entire village and has taken up residence under a cathedral on the outskirts of town. Most everyone is afraid of going near that place, but not you. Start as the frail sorcerer, the marksman rogue, or the tough-as-nails warrior and devise a battle strategy that suits your character's skills and weaknesses. Descend deeper into the catacombs to stamp out evil, buffer your experience, and pick up stronger weapons and spells--you're going to need them.

As if that weren't already enough to keep you playing for quite some time, this package includes the Hellfire authorized expansion pack, which provides even better weapons, more magical items, deeper levels, and a new character class: fearless monk. If you're the type who doesn't like to walk alone through the valley of the shadow of death, log on to Battle.net, where you can find up to three other players to join your party for free. ...

Hellfire is a good single player expansion for diablo. The only bad thing about it is that it doesnt add as much as you would expect. But there are tons of things great about this game. Like the new character class the monk also new quests and over 20 new demons. The expansion adds a couple of spells and potions it also adds 2 new places to explore, the hive and the crypt. Fun game.

If you are thinking about buying this game go ahead and do it. This game kicks ... There is lots of adventure. You get to choose to be a rogue,warrior, or a sorcerer. You can also buy items and work your way up to be stronger and learn skills and spells. All of my friends have it to and all of them love it so if you are thinking about buying it go ahead and do it.

interesting idea...however cant play on the net with it...and thats 90% of the game there.

4-0 out of 5 stars great additional items, but not multiplayer
Diablo Hellfire allows you to become 2 new character classes, theBarbarian and the monk.There are also many more items to find in thisadd-on, from armor to weapons to magical items.However, Diablo Hellfireis restricted to single-player gaming, and cannot be played on Battle.netfor multiplayer action.This is very disappointing, but somewhat of arelief since you don't have to deal with all those cheaters and hackers.

4-0 out of 5 stars hellfire: a review
I think this is quite a good game. In Hellfire, you are able to pick from 6 different characters, instead of the usual three as in Diablo. I think this is a very good improvement because some people, such as myself, becomebored after playign Diablo for a while and only having three characters tochoose from.there are also many new quests, creatures, dungeons, weapons,and characters. This presents a wider variety of actions, and i believethat that quality is more important than most. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars If you are into frustration...this is your game!
The only thing worse than a boring PC game is one that you cannot win.In their over-exuberance to create a masterpiece of graphic design the developers of this gothic horror forgot something.When you frustrate your audience to tears they take your game and throw it against a wall.Save your money folks.By level 8 (if you make it that far) this bad boy will end up fragments in your trash can!

1-0 out of 5 stars Poorly Done Game
Had so many graphics glitches that I couldn't even play it...scenes would load w/ no map at all.I have a laptop w/ an ATI Radeon 7200 series card driver and DirectX 9.When the maps did load properly, the game play was exceedingly easy and no challenge at all.I wish I could get my $30 back, but the package was already opened and I don't have a shrink wrap machine.

1-0 out of 5 stars Lousy Conrol ruins game
There is a fun plot to Enclave. Unfortunately the controller settings are unnatural and the "camera angle" switches enough to make you sick. It is impossible to see what's going on from a steady view. It tries to simultaneously be a 3rd person game and a 1st person game. Any movement can cause the view to spin or squirrel around. It is entirely inexcusable. That this sort of problem was allowed to persist into the finished version of the game shows a disdain for serious gamers.
On another note, the enemies are stupid, slow and too easy to kill.

4-0 out of 5 stars Welcome to Advanced Dungeons and Destruction!
This may be the best NON-RPG full-action fantasy game I've ever played.The game focuses on applying quick and dirty fighting tactics against a host of the most realistic orcs and beasts you'll ever meet on a PC screen.
The basic bad-guys are very creepy and real, but to the game's discredit, enemies never attempt to evade, and bodies disappear.

You eventually get access to several (12+?) different characters, each very different. You learn the abilities of each while running like hell through a very realistic mediaeval world.Lighting, graphics, and sound are incredible!So darn
convincing, you'll be glad you bought this game.Not too much strategy here, a litttle... but most importantly, you will HACK, SLASH, and SORCERY your way to victory.I'm playing on the HARD difficulty setting, but if you're impatient, play EASY difficulty setting, and advance the levels quickly!I've only advanced to the third level so far (after 2 hours), the levels are short and intense.

This game is a cross between Tomb Raider and Gauntlet, more real than Die By The Sword.
There seem to be very few Dungeon related hack-n-slash games like this on the market. I think I need to acquire them all.

I've heard some hard-core gamers say that Enclave bored them.So, if you want an innovative, ground-breaking, mind-expanding, platform-strategy game, this is not it.

Do you like heavy-metal music, fantasy, and action games?Do you complain about too many controls and buttons on game-controllers these days? Then you'll love Enclave.

4-0 out of 5 stars Enclave
Enclave is fun to play. The gameplay is straightforward as the story featuring a balance magic and battle system. Don't expect too much from it and you'll not be disappointed. If completing a particular level is troublesome switching between characters proved quite handy. Bad A.I. is another frustrating feature of this game. The game is pretty easy to beat when there is a single enemy to beat but when there are multiple enemies to fight the game is ridiculously tough. Some baddies can't even jump across ledges and most of the times fell into the gap. And I never saw any enemy change his tactics from offensive to defensive even if his health is literally down to nothing. There are little flaws like at one time an Orc seemed to be suspended in mid air while jumping from a ledge. Another major flaw is that the blood doesn't seem to fall on the ground; instead it disappears in mid air. But, these glitches do not affect the overall performance of the game. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

To put it succinctly, Quake II's first victim is the original Quake. This first-person shooter is more graphically hip and audibly slick than its predecessor; the creators even found it within their furry brains to provide for a more cohesive story line.

But, with all the toothy weapons, power-ups and nasty surprises, it's not always the BFD-equipped grunt that wins the day. Weapons, armor, and power-ups are essential, but sometimes it's the odd or unexpected combination of gear and guns that's going to make the difference. This is also true, significantly, for the death match, where any number of variables now make for a more intense and even multiplayer melee.

Single players have cause for rejoicing as well. A more logical and integrated mission-driven option actually manages to string together a crude story line. It's enough to infuse some genuine chills as the mission progresses deep within the bowels of the blasted-out complex. --Tamara Hladik ... Read more

Great game, lots of options and versitility. Seller was very prompt shipping item. ty Steve d.

4-0 out of 5 stars It,s good,,, but
The only thing that bugs me, is, you can pick a large reel & pole, and pick the heaviest line and you will still lose a half pound fish...

5-0 out of 5 stars Love the game. My daughter plays it too.
I love fishing games and this one is a perfect game for those who love fishing games also. My 11 year old daughter plays it and she loves it too. Whenever I play this game, I feel like I am really fighting a fish. I like to fish for catfish, and my biggest cat is 39.13. It took me a long time to catch it, but it was worth it. If you love to play games and love to fish, this is the game for you.

5-0 out of 5 stars TOTALLY ADICTIVE!!!
This game rockes,I had trophy bass for about a year and was loving it so much that I got trophy bass 4 and after a lit bit got board.I went back and to this day I play farly regularly at least bout 10 times a week if I'm here.(It gets a little old just fishin' by yourself its better to go on the internet and play there's lots of good people on the game server)
P.S. if you get this game and play on the internet look up me Bass Hunter 2001

Amazon.com Review

With Half-Life, 1998's Game of the Year; Team Fortress Classic, the incredibly popular multiplayer-only game; and Opposing Force, the most impressive expansion pack we've ever seen, Half-Life: Adrenaline Pack is a complete collection sure to alter any gamer's body chemistry.

Half-Life quietly debuted in late 1998, and the gaming community was forever changed. Instantly soaring to bestseller status, the groundbreaking title eventually earned over 50 Game of the Year awards. The combination of an intriguing, well-paced plot, smooth graphics, cunning enemy AI (artificial intelligence), brilliant level design, and revolutionary in-game scripted events make Half-Life an unforgettable gaming experience. You play as Gordon Freeman, a mild-mannered scientist assigned to handle hazardous materials in the government-funded Black Mesa Research Facility. Something goes wrong--horribly wrong--with one of the more exotic experiments, and Gordon must try to escape. Along the way, he has to try to rescue his fellow scientists, master the use of conventional and not-so-conventional weapons, avoid or kill bizarre alien monstrosities, and learn the true nature of the research at Black Mesa.

Team Fortress Classic is a multiplayer-only action game that uses the Half-Life game engine and interface. Ease of use and pulse-pounding game play have made TFC one of the most popular action games on the Net. Finding and connecting to games is a quick and painless process; once connected, any gamer will quickly feel at home. Players choose a character class from such World War II movie favorites as Scout, Pyro, Soldier, Engineer, Medic, Spy, Sniper, or Heavy Weapons Guy. The class determines your health, armor, speed, available weapons, and special ability. Special abilities range from the Medic's ability to heal comrades and poison foes to the Spy's ability to assume the guise of any other class.

It's the teamwork that makes TFC so much fun. Each player is a member of a team and must work with the other team members to accomplish the goals, of capturing the flag, base defense, or planning to kill the enemy VIP. An effective team includes a good mix of character classes and a leader of the team's efforts. The person in charge might assign a sniper to cover a large expanse of open ground or tell a team to take out an enemy bunker. The maps included with TFC emphasize team-based play, and the surprisingly productive Half-Life/TFC player community constantly produces new maps and modifications.

Opposing Force returns the player to the Black Mesa facility, but tells the tale from the perspective of Col. Adrian Shephard, one of the soldiers sent to clean up the scientists and their reality-altering mess. Just as in Half-Life, things quickly go badly for Colonel Shephard and his men. Ambushed by aliens, scattered and confused, Adrian must fight his way through the ruins of the facility in an attempt to reach a helicopter extraction point. Gameplay is similar to that of Half-Life: Adrian must collect weapons; get over, around, or through collapsed passages; fight aliens; and contend with the mysterious--and murderous--Black Ops agents.

All three games in Half-Life: Adrenaline Pack could easily stand alone on their own merits; being able to get them all in one package is a real treat. Half-Life will draw you in, Team Fortress Classic will keep you in multiplayer heaven for months, and Opposing Force will remind you just what makes the Half-Life game world so good. --Mike Fehlauer ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Adrenaline Pack
I think that this is probably the best pack out of all of them.Who care about Counter Strike.If you buy a pack that includes CS you are paying extra money for a game that you can download for free on the internet!

Any way.Half Life has a great story.You are Gordon Freeman, a scientist for the Black Mesa research facility.Then.It all goes wrong.Aliens are everywhere. If thats not enough, there are government grunt troopers coming in also.You think they are here to save you.They are not.

Now for Opposing Force.You are the grunt.You have crash landed at the black mesa facility after you chopper was shot down by an unknown .....craft.What the hell is going on?You must find your way past alien life forms so you can get out of this hell hole.At the same time your mission is to find Gordon Freeman.

There are so many mods for this game its unbeleivable.This game is a MUST BUY.If you don't own it, well......I dont know what to say.Multiplayer rocks, single player rocks, everything rocks.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best Pack in the World!!
These games are great... great graphics, sound, and effects. I started to buy them separately... dumb thing to do this package is less expensive than buying them separately!!!!!!!!!!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars No wonder it was game of the year!
This will keep you glued to the computer screen.There's just something about this game that keeps your interest.Perhaps it's the feeling that you run threw one, continueous world.The fact that there is actually a storyline that you can fallow threw until the end.The "what will happen next" feeling really keeps you going in this game.Unlike it's other shoot-em-up counterparts (Quake, for instance), this will keep your interest because you aren't playing levels, your playing a world.

5-0 out of 5 stars You'll never stop playing this game
You wanna know how good this game is? I'll tell you. This game came out in 1998, which is eons ago in the gaming world, and I'm still playing it daily. I play Unreal Tournament and Rogue Spear fairly often, but given the choice, I'd pick this one (and its Team Fortress mod) in a heartbeat over the others. The single-player experience is cinematic, scary, intense and addictive. From the get go, you are immersed in the world of the game and you never want it to end. Although of course the game does end, it's not much of a problem because that's when you can just get online and play Team Fortress with others over the internet. The mod is such addictive fun that you'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming from it for food and sleep. It's THAT good....entertainment that keeps you coming back for such an extended length of time.

5-0 out of 5 stars This Game Rocks The House Down
When i bought this game I wasn't expecting it to be that great. I bought it cause of a friend who told me it would be good. When I played it it was awesome. The graphics were great. It was blood 'o' rama. (if you like that sort of thing , which i do) When you start out you are a player looking to save the world from villans who came from a test lab experiment. It is great but can be freaky (makes you jump) sometimes (when you play in the dark with headphones on fairly loud. I recommend playing like that.).But over all i gave this 5 stars because of the intense playing and the great graphics!!! ... Read more

Ground Control ignites the stagnant real-time strategygenre with magnificent 3-D visuals, dazzling special effects, andenthralling gameplay. The game eschews typical real-timestrategy conventions by forgoing resource collection completely.Instead, you're provided with a handful of troops--which you cancustom-select before eachsingle-player mission ormultiplayer game--and dropped on maps filled with rolling terrain and tightchokepoints.

Strategic unit placement takes priority over the size of an attackingforce. Placing units on elevations improves accuracy; concealing unitsin shadows make them harder to hit; and flanking heavily armored unitsis vital, since armor is usually weaker in the rear than in thefront.

Dozens of units are available, including different models of armoredpersonnel carriers, infantry, tanks, artillery, and aircraft. Mostfeature special weapons, such as mortars or grenade launchers, designedto take out specific units or structures. Despite the impressive visualand sound effects, Ground Control's arsenal of units tends toblend together, lacking distinction and personality. This is a minorgripe, though, against a game with such impressive visuals andgameplay.

Ground Control's intuitive control system complements its flashy3-D engine. Players can rotate and tilt the camera at any angle, from abird's-eye viewpoint far above the action to a trooper's-eye view inthe middle of a firefight. Important battle commands, such as unitformations and aggression levels, are seamlessly presented onscreen andare easily available for use.

Robust multiplayer features enable players to test their tactics overthe Internet or local area network against human opponents. Gamers canparticipate in deathmatch, free-for-all, and team play as well asunique games such as flagzones (gain control of particular territories)and--a first for the strategy genre--"drop-in" games where players canenter and leave active games at any time.

Massive Entertainment has created an impressive package. GroundControl's excellent single-player missions, accessible multiplayermodes, and topnotch gameplay make it one of the best strategy games ofthe year. --Doug Radcliffe

Pros:

  • Engaging spin on the real-time strategy genre
  • Breathtaking 3-D accelerated visuals; both terrain and units arecrisp and detailed
  • Intuitive camera system and control interface
  • Eschews resource gathering, a staple of real-time strategy, andemphasizes action and tactics
  • Excellent multiplayer support

I no this isnt the place but i cant help it. I ordered this game 4 weeks ago, at first they said they lost it in mail, and ten their out of stock. I order it agin last week and it still sint here, but the demo rocks!

1-0 out of 5 stars F- for Amazon service
I waited 8 weeks for amazon to ship this title, the whole time the web site said 2-3 days - it was never in stock at all. Multiple phone calls multiple email and they still have not updated the web page. amazon gets lowest marks possible.

But good game...

5-0 out of 5 stars Underrated, But Awesome
One of the most underrated PC games there is, Ground Control is the fast-paced strategy game that takes out the focus on managing an economy and defending a base and puts emphasis on organized, squad-based warfare.WarCraft III emulates this game, but fails to do so in many respects.GC had WC3's graphics nearly 3 years before it did, boasted a much better camera control system and combat which outweighs anything in any other strategy game I've ever seen.In reality, comparing GC to most other strategy games is to compare apples with oranges, putting GC in a genre of its own.For the gamer who enjoys non-stop, visually impressive strategy with a unique game dynamic of its own, Ground Control is a must-have.

5-0 out of 5 stars Ground Control: Awesome
I loved the demo. I just had to get the real game, so I ordered it off of AMAZON for "a good price". I was amazed. Alright, so it's the end of the third world war and their are two sides, the Crayven corporation and the Religious order of the "new dawn" (sounds like something out od Delta Force Landwarrior) You start by playing the Crayven people. You step into the shoes, or should I say boots of Major Sarah Parker. You get to read a biography about her in the manual. The Crayvens have "Terradynes" (basically a tank with treads) and "Aerodynes" (planes.) The new dawn people have "Hoverdynes" or hover tanks and Aerodynes. The briefings on my part are not so good however. Even if I have a 1.7 gig computer and 256 mb of RAM, the talking doesn't work. For example, I was listening to a briefing and when Parker spoke I heard "At all costs?, At all costs?, At all costs?, the lines seem to repeat themselves! Anyway, that's just a precaution, the rest of the game rocks. There is no resource gathering or building. You command customizable squads and everything is 3-d. You can zoom and rotate around your units. For 9 bucks, it's a great game! Buy it on AMAZON today!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great action and strategy
This game is a great game that does NOT burden the player with the boring and typical resource collecting and technology trees of other games.In each scenario you have a certain number of units at a certain strength; you have some ability to repair damage, but once your men die, they are gone for the scenario, and in campaigns, have to be replaced by less experienced (effective) new units.This game was easy to learn, but hard to get really good at, which is another good point about it. ...

I also purchased Board Games and Card Games at or about the same time.Since I and my three other siblings were brought up on most of these games back in the 1950's, it is a big pleasure for me to play these games alone or against computer generated opposition.I can't cheat. . .this is wonderful.Also I love to redo a game in case I think I can make a higher score.I love the Facemaker option.So in between my boring daily chores I play Puzzle Games or one of the others.So far Word Yacht is my favorite.As a former English teacher it is a real challange!!!!

2-0 out of 5 stars Hoyle Puzzle Games 2003 - a disappointment
I have purchased all the Hoyle Collections (Board Games, Card Games, Word Games, Casino); and have found all of them to be superb...Have always said that Hoyle makes the best games.However, Puzzle Games falls far short of their usual efforts.Most games are boring, or a repetition of other packages (Anagrams, Crosswords, Hangman, Mahjonng).Not their best effort; and not what I was expecting from Hoyle.

1-0 out of 5 stars crashes on mac
iMacOS 9.2 256K real RAM. Have been using system 2 years, no problems.

This game is a `port'. I found parts of the 'games' which will not run on my Mac. Other parts simply cause crashes.

Although advertised as a `Mac' playable game I cannot recommend it for such.

Three kids [12- 14 yo] installed on Win XP home. Report games `boring' and unchallenging.

3-0 out of 5 stars Gets old quickly
Although Slide Tiles and Edge Tiles are different than the usual solitaire games, most of the games are pretty simplistic.The maze games, although intriguing, are awkward and frustratingto play on a computer keyboard. If you're looking for a mindless alternative to television, this is a good product.If you're looking for a challenging diversion, Microsoft's Pandora's Box is a much better buy.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great Mixture of Games
I think it has great variety of games. It has some solitaire games. I don't know how to play solitaire but for those of us that do; it is a nice inclusion.I like the inclusion of the tile games. I was kind of unsure if I wanted to buy this cd because I wasn't thrilled with previous versions of tile matching by Hoyle. But here they added some new versions of tile matching games that require more strategy. They are less boring.
The Incredible Machine is a complete version of the game. It is a good game because you can experiment so much in trying to figure out the Puzzles. Unfortunately, there is a issue where the game wasn't retaining scores.
The Word puzzles are great. The Anagrams makes you think about how many words you can make from a series of letters. I liked Hangman because you can choose different scenes to play the game. There are crosswords as well.
There are some arcade-types of games. Some involve running around a maze; which is challenging with the various helpers and obstacles. Time breaker is fun as it is similar to break out. However depending on what is loosened from the wall; there are interesting effects on gameplay.
Star collector is challenging as it is about lining up pieces and capturing stars. I think it is one of the more harder of the games.
This game has something for everyone. It isn't boring. No one really seems to do these compilations as well as Hoyle. They seem to run well. And you don't need the Cd to play the game in your computer once installed. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

In this third incarnation of Sierra Studios' SWAT series, the designers have borrowed ideas from Red Storm's amazing Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear and molded SWAT 3 into a first-person, squad-based tactical game that combines tense action with crafty strategy.

SWAT 3: Close Quarters Battle boasts gorgeous 3-D graphics (a 3-D accelerator card is supported but not required), with lifelike characters and amazingly detailed real-world locations, such as the Los Angeles Convention Center and the LAX airport control tower.

Players assume command of a five-man L.A.P.D. SWAT team across 16 diverse missions. As Element Leader, you control nearly all aspects of the mission, which can include rescuing hostages to ambushing criminal suspects. Most mission decisions rely on split-second thinking. Should you order the suspect to drop his weapon or are you in imminent danger from the other suspect hiding in the room? SWAT 3's high-pressure environment creates an engaging and satisfying experience.

If you're looking for the chance to control an elite police force (thankfully, the computer-controlled artificial intelligence of both team members and suspects is topnotch), check out Sierra Studios' SWAT 3: Close Quarters Battle. --Doug Radcliffe ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!
Though this game came out in 2000,it is still very fun to play.
The graphics is excellent,the sound effects also.

Basically,you are a S.W.A.T. team leader,and your objectives
may be anywhere from arresting suspects,rescuing hostages,finding dangerous bombs and weapons,and more.

The most enjoyable part of SWAT3,is the ability to tell you 5-manteam what to do,like "cover you","pick locks","clear bang and search" etc...

The ability to play over LAN in a real-person team effort,with AI team players,to solve mission is a big bonus.

4-0 out of 5 stars Sweeet Functionality
I have to say that this game would be one of the best PC games out there. Now, it is rated Mature, but it could stand a little more Juicing to live up to its rating. For instance, If you shoot a perp, its not to life like. You can however enable the NC17 option, but that really makes it Phoney looking. The blood doesn't look life like at all. It just kinda splatters around the dead perp. But, on the other hand, body movement, gunfire, grafX and game play are pretty intense. You find yourself cursing it out and playing it again and again. This one Rates high on my "Must have" list for all you gamers.

5-0 out of 5 stars "We have an element!"
This game took a long time to master because it is very hard. Unlike most games, this game does not give the player any way to recharge health or save games in the middle of a level. It has no way to get extra lives, either. The only unrealistic thing in this game is that when the red or blue team goes around a corner, they turn there back to the opening they are walking into instead of leaving their backs to the walls like all police do. I would also like to point out that of course the briefings aren't one hundred percent accurate. In real life, before going into a building, the police don't know exactly how many people are in the building. Also, of course there are many buttons that do different things. Without all these buttons, the player couldn't pick up guns or tell the backup groups what to do. This is a great game, but I wouldn't recommend it for kids under fourteen. My neighbor, who was under fourteen, started shooting his back up because he thought it was funny. Anyway, this is a very realistic and fun game!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Pinball !!!!
I only have the demo and I love it! I am surprised everytime I play it and it's to bad it has been removed from the market as it is the coolest pinball game I have played. You never really play the same game twice. Although the demo has point or time limits it does play over and over but after so many points cuts you off but still worth a try till you get the real thing which is what I am getting ready to do.

5-0 out of 5 stars Take a creepy pinball machine into your home..
and stuff it into your computer. This game is really creepy for those of yall wicked people out there. I am a real pinball fan and I now have the ability to have arcade fun in my own home. So what are you gonna do? Take the arcade into your home!

5-0 out of 5 stars Really love this game. I been playing it for years.
I have played other pinball games but after awhile they get boring. I play this game for hours and still don't want to quit. The only thing that would make it better for me anyway, would be to find a joystick or gamepad to use with it. I type all day and would love to be able to sit back and play without the keyboard.[...] But with or without it is a great game.shellady

5-0 out of 5 stars A Non-Stop Pinball Creepshow!
Pinball fans will love 3-D Ultra Pinball: Creep Night, a classic pinball game with three main tables and a challenging (and hard to get to) bonus table. To 3-D Ultra Pinball, a fast-paced computer game that precisely simulates the action of real arcade pinball, Sierra has added a non-stop creepshow of multiple bonuses, surprises, hidden levels, moving targets, and reward animations. Action is simple, with left mouse button controlling left flippers and right mouse button controlling right flippers. Every game is a bit different than the last, and special features include rats and skeletons that you can smash with your balls, gargoyles that will pick them up and deposit them elsewhere on the table, and wraiths and vortexes that will eat them. A non-stop-fun pinball simulator. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Boring after a few minutes!!!!
I bought the nascar pinball game so I could have all five of the sierra pinball games. I was very disappointed in it. It's very boring after a few minutes and not even near as good as any of the other four games. The best one out of the 3-D sierra pinball games is Creepnight the second pinball game.

3-0 out of 5 stars Creative, but very limited.
Although the tables are very creative, and the graphics are very good, it can be very limited, and sometimes difficult at some points.

The main table (Speedway) is basically the same thing for every track, the only thing that changes is the track logos on the position tower change to the track that you're playing, or "racing", on.

I was always a pinball fanatic since I was young, and I was not too pleased with it.

The movements are basically the same thing every time. There isn't much variety at all.

And I also think that 3-D Ultra Nascar Pinball is sometimes too difficult, and can really get on your nerves and can also be very annoying.

3-D Ultra Nascar Pinball has creative tables and very good graphics, but the gameplay is below average. In the end, I just wouldn't buy it. It just isn't worth it what it comes with.

2-0 out of 5 stars Nascar Pinball
Being a pinball fanatic I found this one of little challenge.The same movements for the ball over and over again. Very limited.Maybe interesting to a small child for a limited time.Could not hold your interest for any extended time period.

4-0 out of 5 stars What a game!
This game is awesome.It allows you to choose one of four drivers in which you equip the car, qualify, and race all on a creatively designed pinball "table". ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Everything that made the original Diablo great--nonstop action, wicked monsters, dark Gothic atmosphere, and fantastic magic items--has returned. But new enhancements such as the class skill system and cheater-proof multiplayer competition make Diablo 2 even better than the original.

The millions of gamers who fought their way through the horror of Tristram's catacombs in the original Diablo realized that all was not well after their hero destroyed the demon's physical body. Diablo 2 opens with a vivid animated vision of that mad, doomed hero, who unwittingly spreads chaos as he moves toward a fate of Diablo's choosing. With the original character classes gone, players choose from a new cadre of champions: the Barbarian (can wield two two-handed swords at once, one in each hand), the Necromancer (raises the dead to fight his battles), the Amazon (master of bow and spear), Paladin (holy crusader), and Sorceress (wielder of elemental magic). These warriors follow a diabolical plot through four acts, and each act is roughly as big as the original Diablo.

Diablo 2 looks and behaves very much like
