Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
Graphics are stunning. Offers both the main Augusta National course and the Par 3 course.
Cons:
Requires installation of Origin online gaming program before installation of TW12. Does not have printed manual and CD-Rom manual is very poor. There is no guide to show one how to properly play the game. One must learn by trial and error. Most features, such as the pro shop, are only available online. Only 3 click or true swing shot making are available. There is no 2 click. One can only play an exhibition round as a guest offline. There are no computer golfers or any way to play against the computer. The only commentary offline is Jim Nantz's fly by preview of each hole. An internet connection is required even though one does not want to play online. As most stores do not carry this version, it should be fully advertised as extremely limited except for online play.
Conclusion: I told EA Sports that failure to offer TW12 for PC and also PSP would be a slap in the face to those of us who have faithfully supported prior PC and PSP versions of the Tiger Woods series because of the inclusion of the long awaited Masters. It is still a slap in the face and an insult. Tiger Woods 08 for PC is (even though is only available used) is a much better value. There are web sites in which one can download a small free installer program and a multitude of free add-on courses including 2 versions of Augusta National and the Par 3 courses.

Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fantastic Journey lives up to the high standards of its predecessors (The Web, Timeshock! and Big Race USA). It's not quite as complex a layout as TS or BRU, which makes it a little more approachable for a novice -- there are still lots of shots to make and modes to begin, but the playfield doesn't feel as "crammed full" as many other pinball sims.
The music is great, the physics are as good as ever, the graphics are very sharp, and some new features (color dot matrix, morphing playfields, lots of awards and frenzies) make it an instant classic.
I still prefer Timeshock! in some ways, but if that's 5 stars, this is 4.95 stars. Any pinball fan will love them both.

Empire Interactive presents the latest installment in its electrifying ball-flipping pinball series, Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey. Promising all the ramp-riding, table-tilting excitement of Pro Pinball: Big Race USA, Fantastic Journey sets its ball-thwacking action against the backdrop of a Jules Verne-style fantasy adventure. Fire your ball bearings to the center of the earth with Professor Steam, flip them 20,000 leagues under the sea, then launch them to the Mysterious Island to prevent the evil General Yugov from taking over the world. More than just an arcade game, Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey is an action-adventure with balls. Where Pro Pinball: Big Race USA was a case of Cannon Ball Run, Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey not only introduces Around the World in 80 Flips, but it improves on its predecessor in every department. The high-resolution table graphics are crisper, cleaner, and more detailed than ever before, featuring five miniadventures and an amazing array of steam-powered contraptions, including a drill, a boat, a submarine, and a balloon. Dolby Surround sound effects and music draw you quickly into the action, while players can choose one of three different viewing angles to come to grips with the table's unique jet bumpers, spinners, magnets, and bonuses. A full-color dot-matrix display dominates the PC version, while breathless multiball functionality can bring up to six balls into play simultaneously. Challenging your gaming skills to the limit, Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey complements its new good looks with the most accurate physics engine ever devised for a pinball game. As a result, the ball movement and flipper animation is now so smooth, detailed, and authentic, you'd swear you were watching the real thing. An Operator's Menu allows players full control of the way the game plays, including five difficulty settings, game stats, and the ability to alter the amount of balls used per game and the number of tilt warnings. Further options offer you the opportunity to adjust the slope of the machine, the flipper strength, and even the age of the table.

Powerspike Pro Beach Volleyball Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)PC games have featured number of sports-based titles. But we have not seen much of Volleyball and definitley not Beach Volleyball. In that way, the Power Spike Pro Beach Volleyball has gathered many curious onlookers.
But, PSPBV doesn't offer anything much different from or better than what has appeared in earlier volleyball games-other than the inclusion of real-world volleyball professionals like Gabby Reece, and an easy-to-use targeting system for spiking the ball or making passes to teammates.
The game has a rather small learning curve.So you save time on breaking your head to master the game and is good for any age.Though the game lacks much of originality and has rather blunt graphics, Power Spike is still an entertaining, low-priced volleyball game.

Pro-Pinball: The Web Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Web is probably my favorite of the ProPinball Series. The graphics and sound are ideal. I never get tired of this one.

You are a cyberbiker in the near future. High above the Earth in her space station sits the evil ruler of The Web, the Dark Queen. You must battle through numerous missions and tasks to earn the chance to defeat her in the Ultimate Showdown.
On your way to the Showdown you will do battle in The Web itself (in a fast-paced 3-D video mode). You'll also have to find a way to destroy the space station in Space Station Frenzy (a three-ball mode) and master combo shots in Combo Mania (a special high-scoring round).
Only when you have completed five special tasks will the Ultimate Showdown (an incredible six-ball frenzy) be ready for you.... Will you be ready for it?
