Monopoly - Here & Now: The World Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Here and Now the WORLD EDITION is only sold by Hasbro in three forms: as a physical boxed game,for free use on the POGO website and as a mobile phone app. What this seller is selling is just the regular Here and Now version of Monopoly readily available on CD only this seller has labeled it THE WORLD EDITION. In case you haven't played it yet, THE WORLD EDITION features cities from around the world. The regular Here and Now features only American cities. Guess what? This version being sold by this seller only contains AMERICAN CITIES. It is clearly not THE WORLD EDITION.Either this seller is simply mistaken or trying to deceive people. I am trying to get a refund from them. Wish me luck.

Milton Bradley Classic Board Games Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You get seven games: checkers, chess, backgammon, parcheesi, dominoes, connect 4 and pente (Sort of like connect 5). The a.i. is good. Too good sometimes. I think it might cheat. But it's an o.k. purchase. Would have liked more games, of course. It's good for a stocking stuffer.

Monopoly - The Original Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What can be said about one of the greatest board game that hasn't been said before? it is fun, and it will take a long time, if you are good at it, to play a whole game. there is a save feature on the game so you can walk away and come back later.
there are several different "house rules", options you can choose like the price of getting out of jail, the number of houses to set before hotel, free parking rules, taxes, and my favorite, you can set GO for $400 a pass and 2x for landing on it.
some things i don't care for: you don't have complete controle of the game. you press a button that the computer sets to "roll the dice", the computer moves your piece for you, and then you press a button for your turn to be over.
the ONLY real con i can see is that you do not see the computer's roll of the dice. The computer does seem to land on the cheap properties. Like on game i played i Had ALL of the expensisve properties and all four railroads and he seemed to land on the railroad or community chest instead of Boardwalk or Parkplace once those hotels went up
I run windows XP SP 3 and so far it works fine on my computer with no crashes or bugs to report.
The game is a lot of fun if you have nothing else to dy and you have a LOT of free time on your hand. I don't recomend this for your work computer if you want to stay employed. now it's going to be even harder to get me away from my computer for dinner

Scrabble Champion Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this game as a christmas gift and I can't stop playing it. Finally a Scrabble game that doesn't mess with the internal workings of my computer and doesn't go black. The only thing I'd wish they'd do with this game is to upgrade the dictionary so that it acknowledges a lot more words as legitimate plays. Hopefully, they'll do this in the near future and then I can buy that one.

Fritz Chess Tenth Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You may be wondering what this product is. It seems to be a new release of Fritz 10 for the U.S. market (it's described as Fritz 10 at the Viva Media website), and as such it sells at a reduced price compared to the latest version, Fritz 11.
With these new versions of Fritz, there is really nothing added at all. It's basically the same game as the previous version with a slightly improved chess engine. If you are simply looking for a playing partner, unless your at the Master level or higher, you're not going to get anything out of a stronger engine. But a stronger engine is of interest to people interested in analyzing chess games, because it will give a more accurate analysis of a position.
All versions of Fritz are not very friendly to the novice player. Chessmaster, despite its interface bugs, provides a better opponent for beginning and intermediate players, and Chessmaster also has much better tutorials. Fritz is NOT the product to buy if you don't know the rules of the game!
This product is a very good deal (especially if it's on sale) if you don't already own a version of Fritz and you are serious about chess.

World's Best Board Games 2009 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a not bad choice to play games with. I got this game for me to play with my 10 year old daughter along with me to play against the computer. The computer has a very good AI to play games, and a traditional game like Chess I can only beat on level 1, and very rarely level 2, and even level 1 can get tough. I can't even beat the computer on level 1 on checkers and I thought I was a decent checkers player. The games I most enjoy playing the computer and my daughter is The Game of the Goose, a luck oriented game created in the Middle Ages to illustrate how Fate influences a person's life. I don't know about all the philosophical implications, but the game is certainly fun to play with against a person or against the computer. It's a totally luck game, and it is fun to play. I also enjoy playing against either my daughter or the computer in the other totally luck game, Snakes and Ladders. I found out the origins of Snakes and Ladders come from the Hindu philosophy of reincarnation, so that was interesting to discover but the game is still as fun to play as ever. I also played some of the many other games available like the Egyptian game Senet, one of the oldest in existence, but for me the most fun games to play were Game of the Goose, Snakes and Ladders, and Level 1 Chess in that order. Still I recommend this game for anyone interested in learning the history of games as well as for someone wanting to find something to play around with when they're bored. They can while away the time playing this quite easily.
