Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is a pretty cool game. I have played this game for about 3 or 4 years, and I like it thoroughly. Though the multiplayer version of this game may not be suitable for children for the fact that it can be unpredictable with other players. I also enjoy playing the single player game as it gives you a little experience to ready you for multiplayer. This g...

    In about 2004, I purchased a nVidia GeForce video card. I have been using it ever since. It could use a little bit more memory, but it is sufficient if you play 2-3 games, depending on your RAM. The overall graphics with this card is what I would say pretty nice. It is able to run Adobe Photoshop CS on my computer with ease. Be careful that you don't use up all the memory...

    From my experience with many Norton products, I have to say that they aren't too great. I look at Norton vs other protection software and pretty much compare it like this: Norton is heavy and slow. It's very good at protecting, but when it comes to detection of threats, you can forget about it. Full system scans took me hours to complete, and most of the "threats...

    From my experience with computer games, this has to be the most strategic. Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is pretty much a game to flat out destroy your enemies. You start off with a few workers and a command center. From there on out, you must create an army and base to fight and defeat your enemies. I usually play against my brother and bots, as it's actually a fun g...

    I recently bought about 4 bags of 8 liter Kaytee Aspen packs. I had originally bought it for my green anoles, but it works very well with my corn snake. From what I have seen, it's very absorbent and when the reptile defecates or urinates it soaks it up so I don't have to take alot of the bedding out. My corn snake loves to burrow into the bedding to keep warm. I also...

    One day I was looking for a new game at the local Fry's. I stumbled upon Doom 3. I like this game because not only does it have great graphics, it leaves you in alot of suspense. This game is pretty scary, actually. Most of the levels I played were dark, and the monsters pop up out of nowhere. This game is pretty repetitive, you just go through the levels (and shorts) kil...

    I first found out about this software when I was starting to make modifications for the game Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. I use it for making .pk3 files, which is a Quake 3 file for compressing your modifications. I like this software also because it can be used for compressing and opening .pak, .vol, and .zip files, which most people use frequently. The compression of this sof...

    Just a few days ago it started to get cooler, so I went to buy a heating mat for my corn snake. This mat came with rubber feet to hold my snake's terrarium up. The heat on this pad is very evenly spread, so there are no hot or cold spots. The mat didn't really fit the terrarium, but it got her main hiding spot heated. I like this product because it also comes with an ...

 My father bought me components for my computer from the Fry's. I only intended for the computer to be used for anything but gaming. With this processor I get awesome speeds for a 1.1 gig. I compared this to an Intel CPU before I asked my father to buy me a processor, and I found this superior. This 1.1 gig could be comparable in speed and durable to a 1.8 GHz Pentium III or IIII class...

    When I first got my computer for gaming back in 2004, my father bought a barebone computer for my brother and me. When he got this computer, he also received an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 1.83 GHz processor, as compared to the 1.5 that came with it. This isn't a very speedy processor, and has 90 nm architexture, but for that time it was fairly decent. With the included fan and h...

    Using my new gift card from my aunt and uncle, I bought a new mouse to replace my more-than-below-average Dell mouse I had before.  This time, I was not disappointed.  The Logitech MX518 had delivered awesome performance when it comes to games and controlling the sensativity.  It comes with + and - buttons above and below the scroll button, so you can change th...

    What can I say? It's Portal. As soon as I opened up the box, I was in love with Portal.  This game offers an awesome storyline following fantastic gameplay.  The graphics are great for a game such as this, which can run on almost any computer. I have but a mere 1.8 GHz processor, only 1 gig of DDR-400 RAM, and an nVidia GeForce 6600, and I can run everything on ...

   As a replacement to my rapidly aging FX 5200, I bought this much more appealing 6600GT! This card was a real performer when I bought it, running Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 at high settings with stable framerates. This card was a beast at the time, really. It performed well for me even a year or two after, when FEAR was released.   As the card has aged and game developers appl...

   A few years back, before I was even interested in computers, my father received a computer screen from his friend Sam. Eventually this was passed down to me, and I've been in love with this monitor ever since. Where do I start? First off, I found the menus very simple and user-friendly. You could be a total newbie at computers and navigate the menus like a pro!    The...

   Counter-Strike: Source is a First-Person Shooter game developed by Valve Software. It pits a two teams-- Counter-Terrorists and Terrorists--in a "Plant-the-Bomb" or hostage situation.   I enjoy the game for numerous reasons. The graphics are (or at least were, back in 2004) great! Not to mention it runs awesomely on low-end PCs; I get a constant 30+ frames per s...

   Day of Defeat: Source is a game that came bundled with my purchase of Counter Strike: Source. It is a First-Person Shooter game that pits once again two teams: the Allied forces and Axis powers. There are a variety of different maps that come bundled with this game, exclusively based in the European theater of WWII.     I found thiis game to be a terrific addition to...
