REVIEW
That Special Feeling Age of Empires is for me, very special. It was the first video game I had ever played, and I must say, for a first, it was pretty damn cool. I marveled at this game for hours, and indeed, still do today. I recommend this game to anyone who is just getting used to computer games simply because it is really simple, but by no means is it easy....
Age of Empires was the first RTS (Real Time Strategy). This game took the world by storm, and infact is the best selling PC game of ALL time! The reason for this, I think, is the playablility. The random map engine allows players to have tens of thousands of maps, not to mention that the computer AI reacts differently in every game, and there for plays differently, leaving the player with nearly infinate different games.
Basically, this game is really good for the gaming newbie, and will serve as a great tutorial on how computer games work and how to beat them. Its almost like if you play these new games like Halo and Medal of Honor and such, and then you go to play Mario, and its hard as hell. In Mario, you dont have all those little things to make your life easier, its all skill. The very same can be said for this game. Its still fun for me to come back to it every now and then, and I find that as I get older, i appreciate it more and more. I strongly reccomend you give this game a try.

REVIEW
Absolutely useless I bought this item to help my middle school child improve in algebra mainly. The math portion of this software is a joke. One the cover it boasts 'Over 2000 exercises!!!!' Unless you consider it an exercise for some cartoon to talk AT you I didn't see one.
The algebra section is a joke!! It skips from equations to linear graphing functions and when you attempt to see if there is anything more offered, your instructed to buy yet another possibly useless set of software.
You cannot learn math without DOING IT!! Someone can talk all day but without actually having activities or exercises there is no way to learn it.
I actually went to the Topics entertainment site to express my disdain and GUESS What? There's is no way to submit an email to the company to voice either satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the company's product. Of course a company with its ear to the ground in eager anticipation of meeting its clients needs would have no way to contact them.
Save your money, tune in to Barney, its just as effective for teaching Algebra.

REVIEW
Excellent Graphics and Gameplay Wow! I wasn't expecting much from a Disney game, but Tarzan has a lot going for itself. First of all, the graphics are excellent. The fluid animations and the eye-popping backgrounds make this game something to own right away. But the game play is also good. The controls are easy to learn and the game, while challenging, isn't too difficult for younger children. This game should bein your collection!

REVIEW
Wow Wow Four kids and still saying Wow I can't believe this program. I bought it last year and I have over 300 scrapbook pages completed. I have four children 7,5,2, and 4 months old. I can honestly say that I will never scrapbook the traditional way ever ever again. It is so fast and easy. I will be all up to date with my scrapbooking by Christmas 2005. I am overjoyed. I don't believe I know anyone who scrapbooks traditionaly, that is up to date. I have promoted this product to atleast 50 women. Thank you so much for making my life easier and a whole lot of fun.
