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

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.

Don't buy PaperPort Professional 11!!!!
haggler - (11/30/2009) PaperPort is a great program. I've used it for 15 years. Unfortunately, ver. 11 is simply the crappiest piece of software I've ever owned. I'll bet I lose 45 minutes/day just restarting the piece of s___. If Nuance had any sense, they'd release the desperately needed bug fixes immediately. But they don't, and they won't. Some day soon, another company will create a similar product that actually works -- and all of us buy it in a heartbeat. My loyalty to PaperPort has reached zero, and I'm sure that sentiment is widely shared.
Good when works, awful error management
mbykin - (11/27/2009) This software doesn't work well for me. My drive is fine, according to all diagnostics and I have no other problems with it. I've been using Acronis backup for 2 years, and am fed up. It has frequent problems reading one or two files, and instead of logging the error and continueing the backup, it pops up a message on the screen and waits for user interaction. So, backups that should run overnight frequently have to finish while I'm on the computer (poor performance). I'm switching to a different product.

mohi4117 - (11/27/2009) Windows XP is a better software than Vista. Windows Vista slows down the computer. Windows vista is a flop and that is why people prefer going back to Windows XP.
