PC/Computers-Games: 10- Durability: 5- Fame: 10- Style: 10- Accessories: 10- Grade: B+

     What can I possibly say about computers? Computers have great games, they have two types which are DESKTOP PCS or Laptops, and PCs just keep upgrading and upgrading becoming so powerful. Their durability is extremely weak however and the amount of time you need to use monitoring viruses/spyware it definitely brings down the durability. Despite that, the fame of PCs is righteously a 10, computers come in quite some good styles, I can think of hundreds of accessories computers have, and there are THOUSANDS of PC games out there. With the exception of fair durability, PCs are great for gaming.

And now... presenting, the reviews of PC Games!

Age of Empires- Fun: 9- Gameplay: 8- Graphics: 6- Value: 4- Sound: 8 Grade: B

AGE OF EMPIRES! Is it just me, or was this one of the best games in the new millennium that you could play? From other reviews I have read about AOE, everyone wanted it to be extremely strategic, Civilization II this, Warcraft that, blah blah... but AOE brought upon a more simple way of building an empire DESPITE THE HORRID POPULATION LIMIT that brings the Fun value down to 9, and the simple way is that of building the empire from PURE SCRATCH. You have to do nearly EVERYTHING yourself, every piece of resource you must pick and get yourself with your villagers, you must monitor your population limit that can only go up to 50 units *BUMMER but they fix this in AOE2 partially* and the MULTIPLAYER system of AOE is truly a sight to behold on the Microsoft Gaming Zone. Certainly worth playing, that is for SURE, I never saw any bugs in this game or problems except the population limit.

Age of Empires II- Fun: 10- Gameplay: 9- Graphics: 7- Value: 7- Sound: 9 Grade: A-

Age of Empires II just brought the AOE games to the A GRADE! You now have control on what population limit can be *50-200* and the first AOE was Roman times, this is PURE MEDIVAL times with even a HISTORY SECTION TO LEARN ALL ABOUT THE early A.D. century!! WHAT A THRILL, and you can play this on the Microsoft Zone just like AOE!! DEFINITELY WORTH GETTING!

Age of Wonders- Fun: 10- Gameplay: 9- Graphics: 9- Value: 10- Sound: 10 Grade: A

Age of Wonders came so darn close to an A+ it is magnifying. Despite that, imagine a game that has the similarities of Lords of The Rings races, then mixed with a great graphics system, along with great maps, great campaigns, even a map builder like many strategy games possess, and INCREDIBLE music and sound... which makes Age of Wonders. Several scenarios to play, and you can make your own, or play the campaign, or even play online against a friend through TCP/IP. You can be one of the twelve races of ancient times, choose one and attempt to conquer the land with your force/abilities and armies. Sure the "daily army pay" is a bit tough to deal with, there is no population limit like Seven Kingdoms. AoW is loaded with fun and thrills... there are even Heroes, and it has a strong RPG value with your Leader/Heroes. Age of Wonders... my favorite PC game.

Battleon- Fun: 7- Gameplay: 6- Graphics: 8- Value: 7- Sound: 5 Grade: C+

Not a bad game, the leveling system is a little annoying on how you have to TRAIN against enemies to gain each specific attribute point, but it has nice graphical value and reminds me of what Pokemon should be like, having pets help you fight against evil beings only for you to be able to use elemental weapons against certain monsters. Fire against ice monsters for example. Nice game. It can be played for free at www.battleon.com 

Castle of the Winds II- Fun: 9- Gameplay: 8- Graphics: 5- Value: 8- Sound: 0 Grade: B-

I'm going to be very honest with you, Castle of the Winds II is very memorial and VERY enjoyable to play. First of all, you're coming off of Castle of the Winds after avenging your godparents' deaths, then going to see the shade of the castle to avenge the wrongs done by the evil god Surtur to the world. The GAMEPLAY... for when this game was made, is very, very advanced. Armor slots, bracer slots, boots, belts, just like Diablo II, only even MORE advanced! Rings, necklace, CLOAKS... and MANY ITEMS. I love it, and I think you will too. You can find this online somewhere on the internet for free I'm sure.

Civilization II- Fun: 5- Gameplay: 10- Graphics: 6- Value: 10- Sound: 5 Grade: C+

First of all, I would like to say Sid Meyer is one of the best god damn historian/teachers and game makers in the world. Civilization II is a masterpiece with explanations of the beginning of time, and how life gave birth to civilization itself with all the nationalities and sciences/technologies we have. Although it is that good in those aspects with high value and great gameplay, the FUN lacks in this game I feel eventually, it can get dull hearing the same thing over and over and sometimes the difficulty is a bit hard to cope with.

Darkthrone- Fun: 5- Gameplay: 6- Graphics: 2- Value: 4- Sound: 0 Grade: C+

I know the grade may be a little extreme but due to the brutal casuality bug and half hour waiting period for miners to bring in your money, it is extremely difficult to make a solidified empire that can rival against people even 5 levels below your own! Still... not a terrible browser based mmorpg. It can be played at www.darkthrone.com 

Diablo II- Fun: 9- Gameplay: 8- Graphics: 7- Value: 9- Sound: 10 Grade: B

Pissed that I gave Diablo II just a B? First off, if it didn't have hell/nightmare mode it would have gotten an A. You see, when you have played in normal after a while it gets fun and enjoyable, especially with a barbarian. The problem is, finding a good weapon for an AXE barbarian is the problem with the MAGIC FIND system of D2. *SINGLE PLAYER I AM REFERRING TO*. Now... you have LIMITED SKILL points as well, and you have to be wary on how you use them, unless you cheat the damn game with a prog, but that's no fun. Point is, on multiplayer it's much easier of course... and Diablo II being free is one of the best games to play online of course, but it can get tedious after baaling a thousand times.

Dragon Raja- Fun: 10- Gameplay: 10- Graphics: 8- Value: 10- Sound: 6 Grade: A

Yes, Dragon Raja gets an actual A. Hard to give a PC game that high of a rating these days eh? Well let me tell you bub, along with the great mmorpg experience it has *and it's going to be free to play June 9th of 2005*, the fact is there are MANY things that can keep you occupied for MONTHS... becoming a grand master in a certain job, making crit, getting a reputation, level up to 255!!!! Eat food, COOK FOOD, and MUCH MORE!! GREATEST MMORPG EVER... and you don't have to save your skill points up like you do in Diablo II with the Barbarian because... just USING that weapon/magic type makes that skill increase like in Rage of Mages! You can find it at www.dragonraja.com.my 

Guild Wars- Fun: 5- Gameplay: 7- Graphics: 8- Value: 4- Sound: 4 Grade: C-

Not worth $50 for sure... first off, even if you get to the MAXIMUM LEVEL OF get this, 20!!! There's not that much left to do, it's not like DR where there's TONS of more upgrades and items to get... Guild Wars is hard to control and semi dull, Diablo II's weapon gameplay is better than this! Despite that... Guild Wars is worth a try perhaps... It's a good STORYLINE/QUESTING game.

Heroes of Might and Magic III- Fun: 7- Gameplay: 6- Graphics: 8- Value: 7- Sound: 10 Grade: C+

Surprised such a high sound rating? Heroes of Might and Magic III has some VERY CREDIBLE music that evne makes you want to play more and more even though the gameplay gets tiring after a while. Ruling each kingdom and fending off siege after siege isn't easy with the darn HOM dwelling system not giving you enough units. Reminds me of Darkthrone.

Neopets- Fun: 8- Gameplay: 10- Graphics: 8- Value: 9- Sound: 8 Grade: A-

I don't care what you all say, Neopets isn't a baby game :-P! The fact is Neopets is the best mmorpg type based browser, and I think it will continue to be it forever. A little reminder of Pokemon here eh? Feed your pets, groom them, gather several items, rpg, join the forums, travel in the various lands... a lot of adventure awaits, and so many options are available to you that is why Neopets gets such a high grade.

Rage of Mages- Fun: 8- Gameplay: 8- Graphics: 6- Value: 8- Sound: 7 Grade: B

Rage of Mages is one of the most averagely equalized games I have ever seen with my review stats. It has great fun, great gameplay, good graphics, great value and good sound. It has a lot of similarities to Castle of the Winds II and Diablo II with the equipment system. Big RPG we have here, along with the WEAPON MASTERIES just like Dragon Raja!

Seven Kingdoms: Ancient Adversaries- Fun: 7- Gameplay: 7- Graphics: 7- Value: 8- Sound: 6 Grade: B-

Sounding like a broken record here, averagely equalized game with my review stats! We have great fun, great gameplay, great graphics and great value! The sound wasn't to die for either, and eventually Seven Kingdoms could get tiring to most... good thing for the village tax system.

Seven Kingdoms: The Fryhtan Wars- Fun: 8- Gameplay: 8- Graphics: 8- Value: 9- Sound: 8 Grade: B+

Don't you love sequels that were better than the first? I sure do, and it's an example here in SEVEN KINGDOMS THE FRYHTAN WARS! Now you can contrl the Fryhtans themselves and destroy civilization as we know it! Or be humans fighting against the fryhtans and human indifferent enemies!!

Treasure Island- Fun: 7- Gameplay: 8- Graphics: 7- Value: 7- Sound: 6 Grade: C+

Surprised this got such a high rating? Don't be, it's a good game. The gameplay and fun are pretty balanced and enjoyable. Sometimes the game gets a little tedious when the pirates may be killing all your people with ease, or at times the game is just too easy. Either way, it's a great way to spend the night.

The Sims- Fun: 9- Gameplay: 9- Graphics: 9- Value: 9- Sound: 8 Grade: A-

I have to admit, The Sims is one of the best games in history, period. More than just from it's popularity at being able to do several things, but for the anti social people... you can make plenty of characters, have them all interact... AT YOUR TERMS!! BUILD YOUR OWN HOUSES, buy appliances, promote in your jobs, HAVE A FAMILY, HAVE ROMANCE... go places... AND MUCH MORE! SPLENDID game, case closed.

The Sims II- Fun: 10- Gameplay: 10- Graphics: 8- Value: 9- Sound: 9 Grade: A

At first I was extremely skeptical about the Sims II, I mean it's easy to afford the items that are high in value that help your sims live easier, less bills, easier to manage your friends... but the gameplay and fun of this game is ASTOUNDING. I am truly amazed by it, GREAT game.
