| Description |
|
Europa Universalis is set during Europes most exciting historical period, between the years of 1492-1792. This is a tactical strategy in which you get the chance to play one of the nations of the era on your quest for expansion and supremacy. Only through careful and responsible actions will you be successful. The game unfolds across a map, rather like Age of Empires and Pharaoh, with various units scattered about. As you trade and colonise, you build up rapport with other nations, and can form beneficial alliances by various means. The game comes with detailed manual, which once digested, should guide you through to success. The graphics are quite good but simple, as is usual with map-based strategy games. The range of control options in the user interface make it simple and logical to progress through the game, establishing trade and creating and organising armies. This game will be suited to the taste of "thinking" gamers, who prefer the challenge of a strategy, rather than looking for shocking action and video-like graphics. If you were a fan of other domination strategies then Europa Universalis will be right up your street. --Chris Hall |

CD/DVD Tower - PSX2
|
"I love watching DVDs and listening to music on the PS2, with the sound station on full. The problem is that I have no-where to put the disks!" That all changed when I bought the disk tower. It has a sleek design which fits both 8 and 12cm CDs and/or DVDs. Along with matching the PS2s colour scheme,..

CD/DVD/Memory Card Carry Case - PSX2
|
The case is very nice and is adequately sturdy, but I have to say, whats the point? Why would someone want to carry their PS2 around with them? (unless theyre going to play it during their lunch hour.) The product is good, but without a purpose. All I have to say to the designer is, "Nice try, but i..

Baldurs Gate - White Label Range (DVD Packaging)
|
Baldurs Gate is a near-perfect adaptation of the classic table-top role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. Six separate races and eight core character classes, from which the player can create a completely original character, are available. The game world is well painted and players are free to explore this wonderfully textured game environment in any way they see fit, all against the backdrop of a thoughtfully conceived and versatile plot. You begin the game as a young orphan liv..

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines - Premier Range (DVD Packaging)
|
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines places you in the command of one to six soldiers (known as, naturally, the commandos), all with their own sets of skills, strengths and weaknesses. The game defies standard real-time strategy conventions by eschewing such typical features as resource accumulation and unit creation. Pyro Studios and Eidos Interactive, in changing the way real-time strategy games are played, have moulded Commandos: BEL into a far more tactical and strategic game than its..

Sony DVP-NS300 Black DVD Player
|
The DVP-NS300 is Sonys entry-level DVD player, but still boasts the comprehensive set-up controls of the more expensive models. It also carries Sonys TV Virtual Surround and a Block Noise Reduction system to improve picture quality. On professionally encoded modern DVDs the effect of this is negligible, but it does help with some of the early DVDs which were poorly encoded, helping to reduce artefacts. The first thing that strikes you about this player as you pull it from its box, is that it ..
