My wife bought me this toy because I am a huge Star Wars fan.  This R2 is from the Saga Collection.  I had been eyeing R2 and the light saber at Sharper Image.  He can take so many commands and there are several easter eggs built in.  Out of the box, I did have some minor assembly to do, but no big deal.  User instructions came with him and gives a...

I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas based upon the commercials I had seen on it and the packaging itself describing it. I had high expectations for my 4 year old daughter who loves to talk on the phone and who envies her older brother for playing video games, I thought for sure this would be a hit. I plugged it easily into our television and she was anxiously ready to play. At first ...

This book is a lifesaver.  Literally.  Everytime I hear about a child saving an adults life by calling 911 not only am I impressed, but scared.  Scared that my 4 year old wouldn't be able to do that.  Thanks to this book, I'm confident that in the event of an emergency and my son has to call 911, he will do it successfully!This book was bought by my mother as a gift ...

This is one of the first games that I've actually played ALL THE WAY through in a long time. The Bigs lets you create a "rookie" player and take them from spring training all the way to the world series. The way that they do this is in a more "arcade" style way, and less like the realistic styled games for other consoles. The Bigs lets you control your players using the ...

The Elder Scrolls Oblivion is the main reason I bought the 360. As a role-plating gamer Oblivion is one of the top rating games I've ever played. It has great graphics. This game allows you to adventure through hundreds of dungeons and  several cities, all the while doing thousands of quests. This game will keep you occupied for over five-hundred hours. Walking from one side of the map...

My job tends to get very slow at times and frequently I am in the office by myself with nothing to do, so one day I asked my sister if I could borrow her Roller Coaster Tycoon game.  Being a roller coaster enthusiast, I figured that it would be fun and I was right.Once I downloaded the software, I found myself having hours of fun and it was hard to quit playing.  There are quite a few...

My experience with this game i would have to say was great. Being a big law and order junkie it is just  a must to get the PC game of it. When i was at the store i was so surprised that i ran into it i didn't even know they came out with a game. In fact there was two law and order games there but this is the only one that lets you solve three cases so this was definitely worth the mone...

However, this particular Tomb Raider game is not my favo...

The software was super easy to install, just load the CD and cli...

Dune, the Battle for Arrakis, is one of the most fun games to play on the Sega Genesis console. Even until now, I still occassionally play it! It's the first real time strategy gme I've ever played, and the missions are really fun and challenging. You get to choose between three Houses, the Ordos, the Harkonnen, and the Atreides. Each House has its unique missions. After you finish a mi...

Cool Spot is a side-scrolling game similar to Super Mario. The story goes that Cool Spot (he's actually the 7up mascot) must rescue his friends who have been kidnapped. He must win through each of the 10 levels, getting items and power ups along the way.What I like about this game is that it has a light mood. The graphics are childish, and yet they appear smooth and nice to look at. The sce...
