Return to Castle Wolfenstein Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (26 November, 2001) list price: $29.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review It's been nearly 10 years since Wolfenstein 3D foreverpopularized the first-person shooter, and at long last everyone's favorite Nazikiller, B.J. Blazkowicz, is back in Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Setduring World War II, Return to Castle Wolfenstein finds the Nazisdabbling in the black arts in an effort to create an army of supersoldiers.Naturally, Blazkowicz is the only thing standing in the Nazis' way, so he's setbehind enemy lines in an effort to end the madness. On the surface, the single-player game seems like pure gold--after all, everyoneloves killing Nazis. But the story jumps all over the place, the enemy AI isless than impressive, and most gamers will be able to finish the game in a mere10 to 15 hours. The single-player game falls short of the standards set bytitles such as Half-Life and No One Lives Forever. In fact, the best thing about Return to Castle Wolfenstein is itsteam-based multiplayer mode. Each multiplayer adventure features Axis vs. Allies, andboth sides offer four character classes: engineer (removes obstacles), medic(heals and revives teammates), lieutenant (calls in air strikes and replenishesammo), and soldier (only class able to use sniper rifles, flamethrowers, andother unusual weapons). The game includes only eight multiplayer maps, but theyare all perfectly designed, and in order to be successful teams have to worktogether. The result is a great gaming experience that fans ofCounter-Strike or the Day of Defeat mode for Half-Life will reallyappreciate. Graphically, Return to Castle Wolfenstein looks amazing. It uses thepowerful Quake III engine to great effect, and the character models,explosions, and lighting effects are all perfectly done. Alas, pretty graphicsand a great multiplayer game don't quite make up for an exceptionally averagesingle-player experience. --William Harms Pros:

Half-Life Platinum Collection Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (14 November, 2000) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Half-Life: Platinum Collection contains all the great action that earned Half-Life Game of the Year honors from over 50 publications and had Imagine Media's PC Gamer magazine calling it the "Best PC Game Ever" (November 1999). This package contains the core Half-Life game as well as both Half-Life expansion packs and the two most popular Half-Life mods: Team Fortress Classic and Counter-Strike. In Half-Life, you play as Gordon Freeman, a research associate at the Black Mesa Federal Research Facility. An experiment blows up in your face, and suddenly aliens and a military death squad surround you. Half-Life: Opposing Force takes place during the events of Half-Life, but casts you as a lieutenant of one of the commando squads sent to kill Freeman. Half-Life: Blue Shift also takes place during the same time as Opposing Force and Half-Life, but this time you play through the Black Mesa disaster as a lowly security guard. Team Fortress Classic is an online action game featuring a wide array of WWII-themed character classes for a team warfare bonanza. Counter-Strike brings the action of Team Fortress Classic into the modern age: it's an online war of terrorists versus counterterrorists in modern team-based combat. All five award-winning programs are included in this one box. ... Read more Features Reviews (65)
The original Platinum Collections contain: The new version contains an expansion to the original called Blue Shift.In this expansion you play as a security guard in the Black Mesa compound (the same area as the original). It is just as fun as the original, but shorter. You can usually find the newer pack (it is grey, not platinum or silver, and says 5 games in one on the front) at any large chain retail stores such as Target, Wal-Mart,or K-Mart. Hope this review can be of some help.
Alright, here's what you need to do. Look up "Half-Life: Platinum Collection" and put it in your shopping basket. Check out. Here's what you get. Half-Life: The original and although somewhat dated graphically, it is still a cracking good FPS. The game is just fun to play from soup to nuts and loaded with atmosphere. The levels are more innovative than anything before or since. Half-Life: Opposing Force This game got a 93% courtesy of PC Gamer and that is absolutely remarkable considering this is basically just a Half-Life mod, although a bloody creative one! You'll love the boot-camp sequence and hey, R. Lee Ermey is in it! What more do you need? And you also get... Counter-Strike: Still the most popular online FPS. and... Team Fortress: Classic WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED? Dude, buy the package. ... Read more Asin: B00004ZBO5 |

Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (24 March, 2000) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Satisfying the fantasies of envious driving fans everywhere, the latest Need for Speed focuses exclusively on the popular exotic car, the Porsche. In Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, players are immersed in over 50 years of Porsche history and cars. Focusing on just one company limits vehicle-selection type, but the game offers variety by reaching into Porsche's past. With Porsches ranging from the 356 Coupe Ferdinand (1950) to the state-of-the-art 991 Porsche Turbo (2000), car aficionados will have plenty of luxury joy-ride choices. Diverse game modes and a crisp physics model complete yet another winning driving experience from Electronic Arts. One of the most exciting new modes is called Evolution, where drivers purchase an early-model Porsche and compete in races to earn money so they can acquire upgrades, repair damage, and tweak performance. The contrast in both look and feel, from the antique models to present-day roadsters, is captured magnificently by the graphics engine and physics model. Each vehicle handles differently and offers a unique driving challenge. Graphics are simply breathtaking, though not a significant enhancement over last year's impressive version. Realistic weather effects, rolling hills, and animated scenery all add to Porsche Unleashed's near visual perfection. Over a dozen tracks take you through grassland villages, autumn forests, and mountain roads. A wealth of Porsche historical information makes Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed a well-rounded package that should excite those looking to sample the open road in dozens of exotic sports cars. --Doug Radcliffe Pros:

Graphically, this game is stunning, from night-time driving to driving in the Alpine snow, you got everything.The graphic doesn't need a very robust CPU, but try to get the best 3D graphic card you can afford (anything better than a Voodoo 2).I was able to run this game with a 800 Mhz CPU with Voodoo 3 and it was fine.Sound quality is also superb, and I especially like the sound of the older 911 - very raw and throaty. I would like to address some issues that others have pointed out (either here or in discussion sites).One is that Porsche Unleashed works horribly with XP and Windows 2000.EA-sports technical support doesn't have much to say about this.If you search the web, you should be able to find some answers to fit this problem (with a patch or some figetting around).The second problem is that Porsche Unleashed doesn't seem to like some newer version of DirectX and the Nvidia Denotator Drivers.For example, my mouse would freeze (hard crash) at the start-up screen.I was using DirectX 9.0b with the latest Nvidia drivers.To "fix" this, I eventually had to rollback the DirectX version to 8.0 and use an older version of Detonator (version 30.82 for win98SE) and everything seems to work okay.So hopefully this could help those who have problems.This is a great game and I think it is worth the trouble I listed to play it.
There are no Yellow Ferraris, No Black Diablos, No White F1s, No Green Astons, No Blue Lotus' No petty Mercs and BMs....Only Porsche. This game, from its absolutely stunning high-end graphics in the game menus, not to mention the actual game, is simply a bliss to be in. From the 1950 Coupe Ferdinand, named after Dr Ferdinand Porsche, the Creator of Porsche, to the GT1s, GT2 Cup, GT3, 959s (Only 200 in the world), 928 GTS, The 550 A Spyder (James Dean became immortal after he died in this car), and not to mention all those Carreras, the Moby Dick, and 911s. There are 81 different Porsches and not counting the bonus cars which you download. You have 3 Different Types of Games to play, the Evolution, which is the heart of Porsche Unleashed, and the Factory Driver, whereby you undertake little missions to qualify as a Authentic Porsche Factory Driver, (There is a Rolf who first is introduced, reminicense of Dean's personal Porsche Mechanic, Rolf Wutherich) and normal Original NFS Games featuring some of the Factory Cars to play Quick Races and Knockout Rounds. The Evolution. This is a game that is to have you on your Racing Wheels for a very longtime. Starting from 1950, moving from the Classic Era, to Golden, to the Final Modern Era, you have to win the Tournaments to make your way up in the Timeline, you will earn money, sell cars, collect cars, paint them, tune their gears, adjust tire pressure, shock level, shock travel, the toe-ins, brake balances, and most importantly, the Downforce. You get to choose your own Rim style for your Porsche, buy Slicks, or Rain tires, open up the boot, the door, look inside the car, take it for a Testdrive in the infamous Autobahn, go to Corsica, the Cote D'Azur, Pyrenees, the Alps, Normandie, and so on. After you finish each tournament, you get to play the Club races, which offer a wide range of every kind of prize money, and every kind of difficulty. The most important aspect of the Porsche Game is that the Porsches get very hard to control as you advance. Some cars, like the 944s will be easier than the Carrera 2.7 RS Models, or the 911 Turbos. You will have to take in consideration every little information you can find. You will have to practice to be able to qualify for the next round. After a while you would be familiar with words like 'loose' 'tail happy' 'toe-ins' 'add more rear down pressure' 'buy the low-speed gear box' 'add the whaletail' etc...After this game, literally, you'll know more about Porsche the cars and their History a lot more than anyone else. Although not every single car that was made production is available, such as the 912s, featuring 81 cars in a game is not bad don't you think? I wasn't much of a Porsche lover, but after this game, every time I see a Porsche, I can tell exactly what model that car is or what year it was made. For example, the difference between the Carrera 2 and the Carrera 4. Its obvious to a lot of people that the Carrera 2 came before the Carrera 4, but intruth, Carrera 4 is an All-Wheel Drive and Carrera 2 only drives on the front 2 wheels....its these little information that will make you interested in Porsche a lot more. Driving the infamous "Little Bastard" driven by James Dean, will give a much different perspective of Porsche and James Dean both...and driving the GT1 or the Moby Dick 935, will let you be able to feel the power of the speed which goes over 280kms an hour. If you have 2 Million pictures of the Ferrari, met the Ferrari President, dream of owning the Enzo, know all about Ferrari and their 356GTs, Maranellos, F50s, love your Lambos, seen the Murcielagos, know what the VT stands for in the Diablos, Know the first name of Lamborghini, what happenend to the company, IT DOESN'T MATTER. Even if you hate Porsche so much you'd like to scratch a reallife car when you see one, this game....this game has to be played. With Force Feedback ofcourse. ... Read more Asin: B00004DITL |

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 Professional Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (23 October, 2001) list price: $49.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, Professional Edition is the latest version of Microsoft's highly realistic aviation simulation--the top-selling PC flight simulation ever produced. FS 2002 Pro introduces many exciting features, including interactive air traffic control (ATC) and auto-generated scenery, plus challenging new aircraft and stunning visual enhancements that truly make Flight Simulator 2002, Professional Edition "as real as it gets." Flight Simulator 2002, Professional Edition includes a wide variety of aircraft for you to fly--from a new Cessna 172S single-engine trainer and a Caravan floatplane to the Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet. You can splash down in a lake, hover in the Bell 206B JetRanger III helicopter, or practice aerobatics in the Extra 300S. FS 2002 Pro includes 16 aircraft, four more than in the standard edition. Features exclusive to the professional edition include tools for creating your own planes and buildings, and a multiplayer "instructor's seat" capability. The most dramatic new features common to both editions are the interactive air traffic control system, crowded skies, and auto-generated scenery. The interactive air traffic control feature adds a new dimension to Flight Simulator. Now you can ask for takeoff clearance, get vectors for an instrument approach, and hear other traffic as you fly. In fact, the "other traffic" is itself a new feature: a new artificial intelligence system generates air traffic around and between airports. It'll be hard to pay attention to the air traffic, however, as the scenery in FS 2002 Pro is so attractive. As you fly above cities, towns, farmland, and dramatic landscapes, Flight Simulator adds buildings and vegetation appropriate to the terrain below. Office buildings, factories, homes, farmhouses, and trees smoothly blend in on the horizon and fill the entire area with detail that adds unprecedented depth and reality to the game. Other features include more than 21,000 airports, multiplayer capability, improved weather effects, a moving map and GPS system, in-depth flight analysis, and more. ... Read more Reviews (145)

Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2:Pacific Theater Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (14 October, 2000) list price: $19.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Combat Flight Simulator 2 is a dream come true for historicflight sim fans. Excellent graphics, great sound effects, and adjustablerealismsettings make CFS2 a thrilling and accessible sortie into theunfriendlyskies of the South Pacific during World War II. After choosing to fly for the Japanese or American forces, you can pick from aselection of seven ultrarealistic aircraft. Experienced flight sim fans willdrool over the plane models, accurate down to the number of rivets. Newbieswillappreciate the excellent flight and landing tutorials. There are over 100 missions to fly, many based on historic missions from thewar. This unusual level of realism and attention to detail comes from the gamedevelopers' personal love of flight: many members of the CFS2 team arepilots. Their extensive research included interviews with Japanese and U.S.acesfrom the real war in the Pacific. The missions themselves are lengthy andoftencomplex, and are just as accurate as the planes; players take part in history,but cannot change the outcomes of battles. Because the action takes place in the South Pacific don't expect to see a widevariety of ground scenery. Not that you'll miss it: the water, small islands,planes, aircraft carriers, and battleships are always very sharp and detailed.However, if you expect to play with the graphics at their best settings, beaware that you'll need a blazing fast machine with a fast video card. Onlessercomputers, the graphics in Combat Flight Simulator 2 start to degradefrom stunning to merely ordinary. The between-mission story arc is told through 1940s-style comic book panels.Theartwork does a good job of moving the story along while giving the feelingthatyour character and his fellow flyboys are aware they're never far from instantdeath. That the game also allows you to fly the full Japanese side of thecampaign gives the player an interesting glimpse at the Japanese perspectiveofthe war. While the game does include such famous planes as the U.S. Corsair, Wildcat,P38F Lightning, and Japanese Zero, its mere total of seven craft left uswantingmore. We were impressed with the vastly different handling of each plane, butthe lack of variety is disappointing. But this is a relatively small shortcoming in an otherwise deep and involvinggame. If you have a powerful enough PC, Combat Flight Simulator 2 is adelight, and is sure to please both war historians and flight simenthusiasts.--Mark Brooks Pros:

The detail put into this game is great, everything from seeing the ripples in the water as a ship is sunk, to the sounds of the ships motors as you fly by, flying through the flak, oh and of course the damage of the planes being shot.....very nice. There were a few disappointments, one being wingman commands....they are very limited, and the limited amount of planes you can fly, I would have liked to fly a B-25 and drop 3000 lbs of bombs on a tiny island, overall its a outstanding game, 1 step above CFS Europe. Also, I bought my first FS software to fly the number one freeware aircraft simulator on the Internet - The TR-3B Flying Triangle.I flew fighters for the Air Force in late Vietnam, specifically the F-111 and am rated commercial also. The TR-3B Flight Simulator for Microsoft's Flight Sim, is based on the writings, lectures, and TV interviews of Edgar Fouche who wrote "Alien Rapture." (See amazon) Why? This is what the genius who developed it wrote: "For the experienced flight simmer on FS2002 PRO, I have developed this complete exotic amphibian TR-3B package, which is now available as freeware for download. It includes 3 models - the purple Astra, blue Locust and white Hellas - and as an extra 4th model the TR-3X with its own speedy attacker flight dynamics. The package includes TR-3B panel & gauges, noise cancellation sounds, fsuipc and special lights effects. This TR-3B is a heavy tactical reconnaissance aircraft equipped with a magnetic field disruptor that reduces the weight by 89 percent (it is not the same as anti-gravity, though). It has been created for Microsoft Flight Simulator. All gauges are included. The TR-3B can float like a speedboat at Mach 1.5 over water, fly like a heavy helicopter, like a bush plane, a business jet, like a military jet and lift like a rocket. Cruise speed is approx Mach 4.7 at FL340 and above, and approx Mach 2 at sea level. Service ceiling approx 69,000 feet ASL. Super stable.FSFREEWARE, SURCLARO, FSPLANET aircraft simulator sites have reported as many as 5000 downloads in one week! I searched and read many many web pages about his book and the author, Edgar Fouche including; startfinish(put in the dot com.)biz/wiseClick on links for Fouche and Flying Triangle. You will find his full presentation, and the download links for the TR-3B. Get the Great TR-3B Top Secret aircraft simulator and X-Plane, which I highly recommend.

Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (22 August, 2001) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review In Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos, you command four futuristic battle cruisers and a band of revolutionary pirates in an all-consuming battle against impossible odds.

Independence War 2 features an innovative user-friendly interface--90 percent of the functions can be programmed on the joystick, keyboard, or both. Get online multiplayer support for up to eight people. Play deathmatch, capture the flag, and various other unique scenarios. This game utilizes the revolutionary Flux graphics engine, is Microsoft Direct3D compatible, has surface effects such as rust, decay, and wear on the ships, and features stunning fire and flare effects.

This includes a simulation of both linear and angular momentum, inertia, and rotational moment of inertia. Ships can use either a free-flight mode or use computer-assisted fly-by-wire flight controls. Team up against the enemy with detachable fighters. Keep them onboard as murderous gun turrets or order them to attack as wingmen. Nonlinear gameplay spans 16 star systems. Interact with dynamically created space traffic.

Wüsthof Classic 26-Piece Mega Block Knife Set with Block Average Customer Review: Kitchen (31 July, 2001) list price: $1,875.95 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Tough polypropylene handles with full, visible tangs and thetraditional three rivets distinguish Classic knives from Wüsthof'sother cutlery lines. Otherwise Classic knives are identical to otherWüsthof knives, embodying all the virtues that have earned theGerman manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wüsthofknife--blade, bolster, and tang--are forged from a single piece ofhigh-carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered frombolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. The blades andbeautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as on some knives. As aresult, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wüsthofknives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action. This set equips a serious cook with nearly every cutting edgeimaginable--there are 14 kitchen knives and eight 4-1/2-inch steakknives--plus a 10-inch sharpening steel to keep their edges aligned,tough kitchen shears, a 6-inch serving fork, and a 25-slot oak block tostore everything on the counter within reach. The kitchen knivesinclude a 2-3/4-inch peeling knife, a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, a4-1/2-inch utility knife, a 5-inch tomato knife, a 5-inch boning knife, a9-inch bread knife, a 6-inch sandwich knife, a 7-inch flexible filletknife, a 5-inch cook's knife, a 6-inch cook's knife, an 8-inch cook'sknife, a 10-inch cook's knife, an 8-inch carving knife, and a 6-inchcleaver.

Garmin Talking StreetPilot III Vehicle GPS Receiver (12 Channel, Map Compatible) Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $999.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review You don't need to buy a luxury car or spend thousands installing a multipart system to get advanced GPS navigation capabilities in your automobile. Garmin's StreetPilot III delivers all the high-end features you need--from detailed street maps and sophisticated auto routing to voice prompts and a color screen--in a compact, inexpensive, and portable package. Setting up the unit was surprisingly simple. First we installed the software from the MapSource City Navigator CD onto our PC and connected the card reader, with the 32 MB data card, to the USB port. Then we went online to unlock one of 10 detailed coverage areas included on the disk; for instance, area 1 covers California and Nevada, area 7 covers New England and New York. After that we downloaded detailed maps of our city (San Francisco) and surrounding areas to the data card. We also downloaded waypoints--locations like our home, office, and other places we often visit--onto the card and inserted it into the StreetPilot III. If you don't have a USB port, you can also use the included serial cable to connect the entire unit to your PC. The physical installation went just as smoothly. We affixed the plastic base to the top of our dashboard with the included adhesive mounting disks, snapped the StreetPilot III into place, connected it to the cigarette lighter for power, and extended the small fold-down antenna. The dashboard mount's quick release makes it easy to store the StreetPilot III when not in use or, if you purchase a second mount, lets you use it in multiple vehicles. We turned the unit on and in less than a minute it locked onto the GPS satellites and displayed a map of our current location on the clear, bright, easy-to-read color display. As we drove along, it displayed our position and direction on the map, the name and address number of the street we were on, and even the name of the upcoming cross street. The two zoom buttons let us get a very detailed street-level view or a broad overview of our current position, and the menu button allowed us to customize the display. The fun really started, though, when we used the StreetPilot's routing capabilities. Using the arrow buttons, we input the intersection of a store we'd never visited, and within a minute it calculated the most direct route. The voice navigator told us where to go and when to turn, and it was simple to monitor our progress both on the map and on the text display. For our next stop we knew the exact address and entered it into the unit. The StreetPilot then guided us onto the freeway and successfully to our second destination, telling us exactly where to stop along the street and even on which side of the street the store was located. To get home, we just accessed a waypoint with our home address that we'd preprogrammed on the PC. Even if you don't know exactly where you're going, the City Navigator maps include points of interest, like restaurants, shops, and parks. This allows you to tell the StreetPilot to find the closest fast-food restaurant and then be presented with a list of nearby options. Testing in San Francisco, we did lose satellite lock a few times in extremely hilly areas or in areas with very tall buildings. We think this was due mainly to the fact that the unit's antenna is inside the car; an external antenna option is available for less than $100 that should solve the problem. Once you use the StreetPilot III for a while, it's hard to imagine driving solo again. Whether you're a salesman always heading to new locations, planning a road trip, or just need help getting around town, it's an extremely helpful companion that's cheaper and easier to install than anything else available. --Ken Feinstein Pros:

Con's:I live in a new development and my home street is not on the map.Software updates to the unit must be done with a serial port (included in box).The problem is that my new laptop does not have a connector for the included cable.Had to spend an additional $13 on a USB to 9 pin serial cable and Garmin said its only a 80% success rate that it will transfer the neccessary data.The Mapsource CD's which contain detailed information on cities can only be used one time.In order to use the CD's initially, you have to go to the Garmin website and get an "unlock" code.Therefore, if you purchase a newer computer, you have already used your unlock code and would have to purchase an addition code and these can range from $80-$100.
