Dark Planet Rocks !
Dark Planet is a really cool game. You get to play 3 races and each one is totally different. I can't stop playing this game.
It's all about F U N
This is a very fun game. I love the fact that the sound isn't overwhelming. The action is good. There isn't any swearing! The different races are easy on the eyes. Even the insectoid one!
Lots of 3D texture detail. Realistic sound effects.
5 stars on fun. 4.5 stars on gameplay. I found out the hard way that it likes to lock up sometimes if you have "fast mouse" selected.
A fine game even for the kids!
Polish.
I've been playing the demo of this for a while and it's superb. Imagine all the best bits from Age, Starcraft and hopefully what Warcraft3 looks like it's going to be and put it together in a superb 3D engine and bob's your uncle! It seems to simply polish the genre without breaking it. Completely recommended. search the web for screenshots if you need convinving.
Game Review
The box comes in Polish. The games plays in English.. I saved a bundle.
Deck Legend 105 Keyboard
I have owned two Deck Legend 105 keyboards (green and blue LEDs) for almost two years. This is absolutely the best keyboard I have every used. The unit is very solid. The keystroke takes a little getting used to as they make a solid clunk on bottoming out, but now all other keyboards pale in comparison. Typing speed has noticeably increased. The individual adjustable LEDs for each key are incredible. If you spend any time on a computer, you would do well to reward yourself by owning one of these.

This is what happens when animals fight back. Deer Avenger: Open Season is a collection of all three Deer Avenger parody games in one package. Join Bambo, one angry buck, bent on revenge against the yuppies and rednecks that hunt him. Pick up your M-16 and flush them out, because it's you or them.
The original Deer Avenger lets you turn the tables on the hunters. Use powerful deer farts and mating calls, and then blast them with deer pellets, an M-16, or a bazooka. In Deer Avenger 2: Deer in the City, you'll head into lovely Armpit Estates and tranquilize everyone in the entire neighborhood, even the vulgar housewife, as you track down the suburban soldier of misfortune that ran over your gal. Show up at the Swamp Ass Grill and unleash your fury on its boozy, bleary-eyed humanity. Check out the '70s disco freak as you hunt down the good ol' boy who laughed at your anguish when he permanently tattooed your babe on the front fender of his SUV. Don't worry if you're a bad shot. You can also fart at your victims and knock them out cold.
Deer Avenger 3D is the first 3-D version of the parody series in which the hunted becomes the hunter. Players again assume the role of Bambo, whose romantic desires must be put on hold until all the forest animals are safe from hunters. There are four locations in which to hunt, and your prey has different levels of skills and abilities. Bambo's arsenal includes shotguns, rifles, automatic weapons, and atomic-powered particle farts. You will have access to lures such as beef jerky and fart-inducing snacks, plus nature lovers and other bystanders will help you clear the forest of hunters.

Disney Princess Magical Dress-Up
My 4-year old daughter, who is really INTO princesses just now, LOVES this (though she is disappointed Cinderella is not a princess guide). She wants to play it daily, for up to 2 hours or more at a time. However, be forewarned, if they make a picture, they'll want to print it and it takes a toll on the color ribbon. Seems easy to use, she figured it out on her own without any adult help. There are a few games built-in, but basically it's just dressing up "dolls" in various ways. There does not seem to be LOTS of options though, so an older child (my 9 year old niece) would bore quickly. I think she'll tire of it eventually, but it's good for at least 6 months of dedicated interest as far as I can tell. Side note: we find the software often "misfires" and won't load for us. Our computer is easily powerful enough,etc. It could be Windows XP incompatibility,etc. But that does make using software a hassle since we have to reload it about a dozen times to get it to run sometimes. But if you have young daughter who is really into DIsney princesses, give this a try.

This is the best of the recent batch of games revolving around the Disney film, The Emperor's New Groove. The self-absorbed Emperor Kuzco is in a real fix. He's impulsively fired his royal advisor (and sorceress), Yzma. In her enraged state, she tries to "put Kuzco to sleep" but instead turns him into a llama. Llama Kuzco ends up on the top of the mountain in a small village. The goal of the game is to help the llama make his way back to the palace to find a potion that will turn Kuzco back to Emperor. This is no easy task, however. There are coins to collect, secret passageways to explore, puzzles to solve, and combinations to figure out. Kuzco essentially jumps and kicks his way through each chapter, ultimately finding his way back to the palace.
The game play is fun but challenging, the graphics are colorful, and younger testers appreciated that the dialog was read aloud. The puzzles aren't always easy to figure out- in fact most players had to enlist the help of older siblings and parents. All things considered, this is a solid game, with a strong theme and a wide variety of activities. Note that the Win and PlayStation versions of the game are identical.

There's adventure, challenge, and fun in Disney's The Emperor's New Groove Action Game. Confront jaguars, negotiate the treacherous river run, and evade Yzma and Kronk as they chase you. Run, jump, kick, roll, and charge through the eight main levels towards the palace. Collect red idols, potion, coins, grapes, and health to gain entrance to locked doors, replenish energy, and get second chances at levels. Listen to the animals and people at each level who give pointers on how to proceed. The game features high-resolution 3-D graphics and immersing sound.
Excellent, Fun Game
First, let me say that my sound, and everything else, worked fine, and I even installed this game on an older PC running Windows 2000 Advanced Server, even though it doesn't meet the requirements for it. I've also installed it without a problem on a system that was pretty hip a couple years ago, which means it's pretty dated now, running Windows 98 and with no new drivers.
I'm not a very experienced gamer. On the other hand, I'm in my 30's. I found The Emperor's New Groove challenging and fun. While from a strictly technical standpoint, I can see arguments that the graphics aren't perfect (as mentioned in reviews for versions of the game for other systems), the graphics were absorbing to me. I also loved the music and the funny, sarcastic attitude of the characters.
You control Kuzco, the Emperor, in his transformed, llama state. The game begins high up in the mountains, in Pacha's village, and your goal is to travel back to the royal palace to be transformed back into a human Emperor. The game is a series of levels that take you through the mountains, rivers, catacombs, etc. You have to collect coins and other items, solve puzzles, and make many challenging jumps--in many ways, The Emperor's New Groove can be considered a cross between an adventure/logic, an action and a platform game, just like most other Disney Action Games.
One of the things that makes the game challenging is that you only can take five hits before you lose a life. It is possible to collect extra lives, but it usually isn't easy to find the object you need to get them. Until you've mastered defeating enemies like the "evil" royal guards, you can take those five hits in a matter of seconds. Losing all your lives (I often only had one) means starting over from the beginning of a level. When you're in a level that takes 40 minutes to get through and you have to defeat the guard 20 minutes into it, that can be quite a challenge.
Of course, to experienced gamers, say someone who plays computer/video games an hour or two per day and has been doing so for 10 - 15 years or so, this might not be such a hard game. But as a Disney title, The Emperor's New Groove is directed at kids from 8 and up. For more inexperienced gamers of any age, it may be _too_ challenging. My wife, for instance, who hasn't tried playing computer games before this title (she liked the film so much that she wanted to try it) has given up for the time being, at least until she builds some experience on easier titles. I'm a bit more experienced, but there were levels here, such as the very long one full of huge Venus Flytraps, lava pits, bees, elaborate arrow booby traps, etc. that took me _at least_ 5 or 6 hours of gameplay to get through.
Elsewhere, I've read some complaints about the way the 3D camera automatically scrolls. I agree that when you're in a tight spot, the camera changes can make the game quite difficult. Also, you have to position the camera in order to make many of the jumps, and tight spots, as well as trying to maneuver so you won't miss the jump, can make positioning the camera correctly _extremely_ difficult. But that's part of the challenge, isn't it?
In my opinion, the most recent Disney Action Games I've played--which also includes The two newer Buzz Lightyear games, 102 Dalamatians: Puppies to the Rescue (this is the best one for the most inexperienced gamers, since it's much harder to die) and Donald Duck Goin' Quackers--are not only the best Disney games so far, but are the most fun games I've played yet. Of course it helps that I'm a huge Disney fan, but I enjoy the Disney games more than anything aimed at my demographic.
Despite problems "Emporer's" is still Groovy
First off, this game is worth it's price! It allows for several hours of amusement (several days for less experienced gamer I'm told) for relatively little cash. The story line is engaging, the commentry is fresh and amusing, and the game play style is varied enough to keep from being boring. There are, however, a few problems. While the backgrounds, animals, and enemies are very well designed the 3-D people are HORRIBLE! The bodies are sharply angled and box like and the faces are rounded without any 3-D detail. This, however, is just an asthetic issue and shouldn't deter buyers. Another problem, however, may deter those gamers who are really into their sound. Be prepared for sound skips during scene changes as well as random repetitions of the same phrase when moving Kuzco (the llama) at high speeds. The only other issue is the camera angle. At times the camera defaults to a view that makes precise jumping rather difficult. While frustrating at the moment this does add a measure of skill to the game. In enjoyability this game rates five stars but the technical issues listed above drop it's total score down to four stars.
last groove
I play this game with my 4 year old. She has a tough time moving the characters and the graphics are very disappointing for a Disney game. The manual has minimal instructions and no hints where to look for the extra goodies.
