I have run all 3 versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon and this last version takes all the problems and glitches that were in the first release. It also has combined the two expansion packs (Wild and Soaked) onto the same disc so all games are installed at the same time.
A work of caution though. This is a very high end graphic and memory heavy game. You really need a top line machine with lots of Ram memory, a fast processor and a high end graphics card with lots of memory and very fast screen rendering. If you try to run this on a standard system it will slow down as you add rides and scenery to the point where it's impossible to use. And it doesn't run with Windows Vista. XP Pro is the best version to run this game on.

I have been playing Civ III for about three weeks now. I am staying at the lowest levels while I get used to the controls and so far I can say that I both love and hate this game. The graphics are much better than previous versions. If you have enjoyed past versions of Civilization you will enjoy this one. It has more groups to choose from (Roman, Russian, German etc.). The units are more in line with the group chosen (Hoplite only for the Greek and Immortals only for the Persian). Instead of building settlers to build roads and irrigation you have workers. They can do much of what the old settlers could but they move farther per turn. Units are supported by all cities instead of just the one that created them so they don't die just as you are ...

This is the most creative upgrade to Family Tree Maker, well, ever. Functionality is greatly improved, graphics, instant "hints", reporting, "uploadability" and much more. The downsides are only a few: 1) freezes more than it should; 2) double dates (1711/1712, etc) not only don't apear automatically, they can't even be inserted manually; 3) takes a bit more self trainning to find everything you're accustomed to using. The optional trainig manual "The Official Guide to Family Tree Maker 2009" is a must. Genealogy Networks has been helpful so far when I've gotten completely stuck on a few issues. Get their phone number and call.....I really don't find the self help guides very 'self-helping'! All in all, it's worth the time and effort if you enjoy keeping ... Read More:

Game is nice, but there is no single player campaign. That means only skirmish mode. What a disappointment that is. Why bother with all the story line writeup, when in fact, there is no story to be played out in the game. It is all meaningless in that sense. Very dissapointing in this regard. This is a case of the managment team blowing it.
Mobile me Rocks. Although most of what I wanted to do I could have done with a single unit, I used the family pack to give one to my brother and one to my sister to use in their families. The sharing of the calendar and contacts is great within the family. And since we all use different computers some apple some dell it makes them all share this stuff together. Its just what we needed.

While I know next to nothing about MMOs, I've seen some footage and read lots about this game and will share it.
The graphics look really good, from what I've seen, and the gameplay looks fun and fierce!
The two new classes seem to really expand on the original ("The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar".
The ability to make your weapon legendary intrigues me and it seems like it'll be a big hit!
I've always thought Moria was a very unique and interesting place and it will be awesome for players to explore the deeps of Moria, meet new characters, fight goblins and such, and challenge the infamous Balrog.
The addition of Lothlorien, which is such a cool place in Middle-earth, will undoubtedly draw many fans to explore its boundaries ... Read More:

This is a wonderful keyboard. I've purchased it twice, the first one had a bad run in with a glass of orange juice, but that was my fault, (tragic story).
I have had absolutely no problems with it. Just plug it in, and it works. The lights are very bright, and can be adjusted to fit your brightness and color choice.
The keys are nice and crisp, and have a great "springy" feel to them. (I'm typing this review with it).
No issues what so ever with the letters rubbing off, or wearing down at all. Razor sharp and clear.
If you like to type with the lights off or low, or just want a cool keyboard, this is definitely the one to get.
