Some good, some tedious
This expansion adds some good things, like extra aspiration slots and multiple aspiration locks, some good new items and social interactions (Hang Out in particular is nice so that you don't have to babysit your sims' chatting).
A whole new stage of life!
The university pack brings to life the fun of university.It is up to you to make your Sims study or party their years away.I loved the new items and universities.However I do find that it can drag growing up to an adult out a bit. But I accept that for the added game play and new items etc.I would recommend this as a good addition to any Sims game.

Great Controller
This controller feels great in your hands.In fact, after using this controller for awhile, my batteries went low and I had to switch back to the Dualshock controller.The Dualshock felt wierd in my hands.The response of the controller is good.I have had the controller for a long time now and have not experienced any lag time.One down side to the controller was that i returned two controllers because they has stopped working in a short period of time.I guess the 3rd time is the charm because this one is working fine after almost a year.

Seven Months
I have had three of these Logitech Wireless controllers now.They have all broken nearly seven months to the day I buy them.
great device but .......
I have the same opinion as everyone else, the controller is very convenient, appealing, affordable and fun, but......it suddenly stopped working....i think there are some problems with the wireless connection, and its very frustrating being in the middle of the action and BOOM....your controller stops respondind..... and you get killed.....IT SUCKS!!!

Shooting touch concerns...
For those of you having difficulty with ball release, this is for you:
HORRIBLE
This game is horrible. the charactors all run, shoot, dribble, and move the same. EA you guys are, as i said before but noone listens, the worst devoloper out there. GET 2K INSTEAD
NBA Live isnt ALIVE anymore.
Once the initial luster of shooting hoops during load screens and seeing realistic players drenched in sweat wore off, flaws such as missing features and impossible-to-make free throws made NBA Live 06 on the Xbox 360 a letdown. EA has addressed many of these problems in NBA Live 07, adding several game modes and superstar controls, but many key issues remain. As a result, NBA Live 07 again comes off as unpolished; it just happens to have more ways to experience the rough edges.

Worth it!!!
While I was also sceptical about the 4-6 hour idea, the game is just so well done that I can't fault Valve for going the epispodic route.Would I have preferred HL3?Sure, but there is something to be said for not having to wait 2-3 years for the next one. . .As mentioned, the graphics are amazing on this expansion, noticable in almost every detail and in the lighting, which is incredibly realistic.Gameplay is great, with some interesting twists, old standby's like Barney and new combine baddies to overcome.Allin all a great game; can't wait for episode 2!Oh, I couldn't get the game to load off the disc from amzn, but it was relaitively easy to get from Steam. . .

Fantastic continuation of the Half Life story. Essential!
Half Life 2 is in my opinion the best computer game that has ever been made. So I was obviously very excited about getting my hands on this expansion. Firstly, I have noticed quite a few reviewers giving the game terrible reviews due to it not running correctly on their PCs. Well, I'm happy to say that I had no dramas whatsoever. I do however have broadband Internet, so the massive downloads that Steam based games require do not affect me too much. But I can understand why other people would find it all rather frustrating.
Absolutely outstanding. A must have. Period.
I can't believe the number of one star reviews and that this game has only 3 and 1/2 stars rating overall. It's ridiculous.

2 great Final Fantasies from the SNES era
These 2 games are probably (in my opinion anyway) the best ones in the series. I will review each game seperatly then make my comments on the collection itself.
An awesome game!
I had heard of how amazing Final Fantasy VI was supposed to be. So, I thought, I have to get this game, even if to just fill out my Final Fantasy collection.
A Good Investment
Two great RPG's in one package.Playstation owners who began Final Fantasy with the 7th installment can finally see what all the hype is about with VI.Final Fantasy V is also a great game, the first in the series where you spend alot of time in the menu combining abilities with accessories/equipment to customize your characters.

It takes some getting used to but then it really starts going...
I love the FPS genre.There's just something about running around and blowing things away that relieves the day's stress.That said, if you're new to the CoD games like I was then there's some adjustment to be had.It's not a straight run and gun kind of game.For one, varying degrees of movement and strategy are required to get at your enemies without getting taken out.Second, if you're used to a plasma gun with 400 rounds then the frequent reloading of historical weapons will take some getting used to.But all this adds to the great interface, graphics, and especially storyline of this great game.I can't wait for Call of Duty 3!

One flaw in multiplayer
The only flaw I can find in this game is that the multiplayer isn't very much fun.Playing locally with a friend means you just shoot him a lot while he learns the controls. No enemy AIs in the maps?

Great game- Buy call of duty 3 in november
This game is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only problem is that in order to get some achievments, you have to play it on veteran mode. Sometimes you will be near the end of a level and the checkpoint will occur right in the middle of a battle. One time I was getting shot at by a tank and it saved the game. Only three shots will kill you. I HAD TO restart the whole level and it took me another hour to complete it. ... Read more

Worth every penny!!!
I got this game a week or so after it came out, and I was impressed instantly. Sure, the updated rosters are always a nice treat, but the smoother gameplay and sharper graphics make it more enjoyable, even if they are minor. The running game is more improved, and the runners are easy to control, plus the highlight stick is so awesome! It is so fun to watch your favorite RB literally throw off a defender or make moves to have a defender look stupid. The franchise and other modes have some new features, but Superstar is much more improved. You play as only yourself, and I mean this, ONLY YOURSELF! You see the game from your player's perspective, and will only play as your player the entire time. Example: you are the QB and throw a pass. No matter what happens, you retain control over your player, which is very realistic. So, if you've liked the last few Maddens, you will be very happy with this one. Only two minor complaints; 1) The game will freeze sometimes at the end of plays. No issues there. 2) You have influence in Superstar, but if your teammates mess up, it hurts YOUR influence. This is the only, and I mean only part I found frustrating. However, except for those two things, this game exceeded my expectations greatly!

But The Ball Wasn't Even Thrown to Me!
The Hall of Fame mode rocks! Being able to create a character, go through the draft, and work towards making the HOF is an absolutely great addition. You can create any position and play the game from their perspective.
Madden 2007 Rocks!!
This is the most realistic game out there!I can't believe how real the players look and move.The franchise and off-season segments are even better than before.My son loves the game, and I don't have to worry about any violence like some of those other games! ... Read more

This game rocks!
Yes, I am a die-hard Star Wars fan and yes, I love a good mission-based action game so man, if this isn't the perfect game for me! It's so much fun and there's so much freedom in the game in itself! Add on to that the space missions and Wow, this game totally blows me away! Highly recommended for anyone who is a Star Wars fan, a FPS fan, or a fan of fun gameplay!

Slapstick comedy and interesting feel
Lego Star Wars received a skeptical look by me when it first came out.Of course, as a kid in America I played with Legos all the time.In 1985 I started playing video games as a kid and soon replaced those little Legos.Now in 2006, I find myself playing with both again.What a blast.
Lego's does it again
It's hard to give a true review when this product was bought to be given as a Christmas present. Review is based upon other reviews, not my own.

A glitch
This is a super awesome game that never stops and has all these fun unlockables. Sadly I had just to more super kits to get(super kits are things you get by collecting all the studs wich help you unlock the bonus level)but they were on really tough levels so I entered the cheat to get invivceablity and then it cut and said there was an error. so went back to the saved game and everthing had been erased from studs to charecters! anyway i have no clue what happened. ...

Nintendogs
First off, I've only watched my sister play, so I'm not that accurate.
Nintendogs: The Best Game {A kid's review}
This game was awesome. Although I've only had it for a little over a month, I have 4 dogs and over 30000 trainer points.
I don't Have it, yet, but I love it!
I love Nintendogs Chihuahua & Friends! I don't have it, but I hope to get it for Christmas; Anyway, I won't tell too much because that will spoil the fun, plus, I can't type that fast.

Great Keyboard!
I am very satisfied with this keyboard it's nice and it's got gentle keys.
Saitek
Only have had this keyboard for a shot time, It works very well at night, you can easily see the keys and they have a good feel to them. Unless you want to spend alot more money this gets my approval!

Worth it
Wasn't sure if the illumination would truly be visible at night. It is. Very helpful for those late night online rampages. The keyboard is very solid. For those of you that had a generic keyboard that slid all over, this one won't. Took just a little bit of time to get used to the slightly smaller keys than what I had. Think overall it is well worth the $.

Very boring, quite playing after 2 days
I am a huge fan of the RPG genre and have played just about every one for the PC.Morrowind is the most boring one I have ever played.I turned it off after two evenings of SLOWLY walking around, having stupid repetitive conversations with NPCs, and lamely fighting rats.The interface is terrible.You are very limited in what you can carry, so after you kill a monster you can't even carry your treasure back to town.This "game" was all work with no fun.Do not buy!

Morrowind is fun and well worth the money
I purchased a copy of the Game of the Year Edition at the end of May, 2006.It is now almost September.I have been playing Morrowind for three months most week day evenings for about 4 hours and most weekends for about 12 hours.
Overwhelming

Nickelodeon's Greatest Epic Cartoon Series makes it to the PS2
This game is too fun to express in words. You not only get to experience the show in your personal home theater and play as several characters and learn bending skills including airbending, but you get experience it has a fighting game (in the fighting levels) rather than RPG or strategy style like in the Final Fantasy series.

OH MY GOD!
I played this game for two minutes.The first thing I wanted to do was to sign on to amazon.com and write a positive note about it.It is AMAZING!It installed easily.You only need the CD to start the game.Apparently there is a patch that you can download that allows for starting the game without a CD, but who cares?
an AMAZING chess tool, especially for chess newbies.
I have always enjoyed playing chess, although I have never been very good at it. Pretty much I knew how the pieces move as well as some very simple strategies such as forks, and simple traps (which were often avoided). Recently i've been getting back into it but this time I wanted to actually become good at chess. I couldn't decide if I wanted this one, Fritz or Chessmaster 9000 (slightly cheaper). Well, I am very happy with this purchase. I decided on this one because it has even more training material, which was my main goal.
Have to be a chess fan
This is a very cool game for those of us who play chess regularly and just want some pointers on how to become better. I dont think this would help chess masters get better, but like I said it is great for someone who knows chess and wants some advice on how to become better. ... Read more

Disappointing...
A word of warning to those of you who use something other than a mouse+wheel as a controller:Apparently the ONLY way to perform in/out zoom in this game is with a mouse-wheel.
Easily the best of the series
I'll just say up-front that i've never played any of the previous railroad games, so I though I would give my opionin here for those of you who are new to the genre (like myself). I purchased it mainly on the Sid Meier/Firaxis name, having been a rabid Civilization fan most of my life.
You've disappointed me, Sid.
The rail system in this game stinks. Nothing like RailRoad Tycoon 1,2,or 3. Please make a patch were you can add/remove signals. Please make a patch where you can control signals.
