WoW takes place just four years after the real-time strategy Warcraft series, which chronicles a 25 year struggle between the Alliance (humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves) and the Horde (orcs, tauren, trolls, and undead). Even though there's tons of accumulated story to the series, new players should not be daunted. The background is there for you to explore, but you don't have to tread a lot of Azeroth history to get into the action. Less

The Half-Life 2 with Deathmatch DVD collects two of the must-have shooter games, bringing you twice the action. Start out with Half-Life 2, where you return to the alien research facility called Black Mesa. The aliens are now pouring into our world and you'll join the resistance movement to stop them. Battle it out with friends in crazy, realistic mulitplayer action with Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. Then test your tactical abilities with Half-Life: Source -- where the gaming kicks up a notch through the amazing Source game engine. Less

The Wonderful World of Warcraft

bykrial Feb 28, 2006
154 Helpfuls 155 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Wonderful graphics, story, constant updates and new features, just plain fun to play.
Cons Mediocre class balance, a few bugs remain after a year of retail... addictive!
Recommended it? Yes

I always had a hard time justifying the need to pay fifteen or twenty dollars every month to play a game online. It seemed more logical to me to just purchase a brand new game every month or two, that way I would have a lot more games for the same amount of money I would be spending on one online...

Morrowind Meets MUD

Pros Great graphics for the genre. Huge world. Huge Variety. Highly addictive. Did I mention...
Cons A little too addictive. Occasionably obtrusive players. Expensive and continued cost.
Recommended it? Yes

Strange as it may seem for a hardened gamer such as myself, I never really got into MMPORGs the way many of my friends and associates have. Sure, I wasted far too many hours of my life on one particularly large MUD, but somehow the graphical interface of the MMPORG always seemed to take away from... Read full review »

HALF-LIFE 2: Setting Standards ... in almost every aspect.

bytheuerkorn Dec 31, 2004
67 Helpfuls 68 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Physics, graphics, sound, weapons, equipment, controls, no CD dongle
Cons Online activation required, no manual available (at all)
Recommended it? Yes

In 1998 the original Half-Life set standards and the sequel initially set records in a slightly different way by being one of the longest delayed and yet published games ever. Half-Life 2 has finally been published in November 2004 -- 6 years after the original game made a big splash in the... Read full review »

Pros awesome graphics engine, solid plot, gameplay varies, huge environments
Cons high system specs, a few areas where the character will get "stuck"
Recommended it? Yes

Half Life 2 received solid reviews from all the major gaming sites on the web, including a 97% from IGN and a 92% from Gamespot, accounting for a disgustingly high 96% overall among 61 media outlets on the web. I wholeheartedly agree. Half Life 2 is without a doubt one of the best 3d shooters, and... Read full review »
