4 Star Review The Sims 2 (Full Product, PC)

dentj - (September 20, 2004) The long awaited sequel to the 200 original is finally here, and it's heads above in almost every way. The graphics have been renovated from the old 2D isometric into a fully 3D world where you can move the camera anywhere to view anything you want. This lets you get up and close with your sims like never before, and wonderfully shows off the highly detailed characters and all their suprisingly lifelike animations and mannerisms. You can see expressive faces reacting with a smile to conversations or shriveling in disgust when they smell something funky (like that sim that hasn't showered in a week). The gameplay is expanded from the original, now adding in aging and changing the focus sl

5 Star Review Half-Life 2 (Full Product, PC)

BlackPandemic - (September 18, 2004) This game will re-revolutionize the first-person shooter. Even if you didn't play the first Half-Life, this will be a must own. The new Source engine adds new realism to games. The ragdoll physics have been improved so now aliens and humans show weight and proper limb movement. A careful mix of high-octane shooting and skillful puzzles make this game a must own.

falkjohn - (August 28, 2004) This game looks like a lot of fun! the graphics rock kindof. but that doesnt matter I wish you would see more of like giant groups of foes coming at you instead of maybe 4 or 5 at a time more like 30 or 35 at a time just make it more realistic. of course i dont know for sure on these things im just a veiwer right know. Its has the best Physics Engine ive ever seen so far things behave the way the should considering there weight and mass.

4 Star Review If u dont mind.

spub1776 - (06/18/2009) I bought this over a year ago, ive sence purchased Wrath of the Lich King. Love the game. For me tho ive got a addictive personality. I ended up loosing my job over it. Did not lose my wife and family thank god. My subsription ran out on 6-15-09. Ive not payed for the next 2 months. I probally wont eather. Cause of who i am. Im now having a real hard time finding a job. CAUTION CAUTION for those that have addition problems. My rating is a strange one. I give it Very good. but i could easily give it a 1 star. The content is great, but like I said earlier if u have a additive personality stay away from this game and all MMORPGs.

3 Star Review Great except for the mouse

Mason Storm - (04/28/2009) Overall this is really an amazingly entertaining and addictive video game; this is one of that select group that made me lose all track of time, frequently playing into the dawn without realizing it. The graphics and sound are simply fantastic, and more than once I actually caught myself sitting on the edge of my seat - quite literally, and unintentionally. They're definitely on to the start of a whole new franchise here. The new monster-killing twist - you have to dismember them, rather than going for headshots or chest shots - requires quite a bit of adjustment, and precision aiming. After the adjustment, it's really fun. But that adjustment is nothing compared to the 3rd-person, over-the shoulder-or-from-just-behind viewpoint; that is something they should simply do without, or make optional, at the very least. It limits your view and experience too much, and makes for some truly nauseating moments for the first few hours, until you adjust. And finally, the mouse lag is horrible, and has generally been pointed out by every professional review site as an error that needs patching; it clearly indicates an incomplete port from the consoles. PCs are great precisely because of their graphical horsepower, but you have to disable VSync to play this game at all with a mouse. With it turned on - which it is by default - the lag is so bad that it is nausea-inducing in and of itself (like a deliberately slow camera panning in a movie). And with VSync off, the tearing is pretty bad. But overall, it's a great game, and so long as VSync is off, you'll probably love it too, as soon as you adjust (but remember you won't adjust for at least the first hour).
