Gaming addiction has recently entered the media limelight as a new dependency for adults and children. While gaming in any format is supposed to be fun, when does the line blur and become an uncontrollable compulsive behaviour? Video games on PlayStati...

Microsoft XNA Game Studio Creator's Guide, Second Edition
by Stephen Cawood, Pat McGee
Amazon Price: $26.39
Customer Review: XNA Game Studio Creator's Guide provided me with a clear understanding of
the steps necessary in creating gaming software. The source code examples were easy
to find and download and ran the first time without any bugs. These examples were very
useful in helping me to get my own projects up and running quickly. I give this book a
five star rating.
Danny and the Dinosaur
by Syd Hoff
Amazon Price: $3.99
Customer Review: Danny spends the day with a dinosaur, doing all the fun sort of things he'd do with the rest of his friends (i.e. playing hide and seek, etc).
This is a cute, comical, story with a sweet ending, but there really isn't *that* much to the plot. I'd probably give this three stars, except that I remember enjoying it when I was little and for whatever reason (the story, the illustrations, or both) it made an impression on me. So, for that I gave it an extra star.
Complete Classical Music Library: The Symphonies, Vol. 1 [Box Set]
Amazon Price:
Complete Classical Music Library: The Piano, Vol. 1 [Box Set]
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I found this collection for $8 at a local shop. Currently it can be had for around $30 via Amazon. At $8, I give it four stars. At $30, I'd be inclined to give it 3. The price is definitely a factor in my opinion of this collection, so please keep that in mind.
First, the negatives. There is no mention of performers, except for the humorous misnaming of Chopin's "Grande valse brillante" as "Eliso Bolkvadze". Bolkvadze, of course, is the performer of the piece! I spent a good ...
The Bronx Is Burning: World Championship Limited Edition (5pc)
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Even a lot of Yankee haters will enjoy this miniseries, this reviewer can attest to that. When this show first aired on ESPN, I wasn't going to watch it. It was about the Yankees winning one of their many World Series titles, yuck! But then ESPN re-aired the episodes, over and over. I started watching and then couldn't change the channel, even if I'd already seen the episode. Although the miniseries, as an ESPN original production, focused on the tumultuous 1977 season for the Yankees with...
Daredevil (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Amazon Price: $11.99
Customer Review: Superhero movies have become one of the highest-grossing genres in the moviemaking business and for good reason. They provide fantastic escapism and bring the fantasies from the pages of comics to life. One such film was the 2003 adaptation of Marvel Comic's character Daredevil.
Now, I'm sure I'll take some heat for this from fans of the comic, but I've never really enjoyed the Daredevil comics all that much; a red-horned wearing Stan Lee/Marvel rebuttal to DC's Batman. This kept...
Sony 8 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Flash Memory Card MSMT8G
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I got this memory sick for my sony cybershot camera and it has been great. It has plenty of memory. I have taken videos and many pictures and there is still plenty of space still unused on the memory stick. Installation was a breeze. I took it out of the box put it in the camera and you're good to go. Simple.

SE Pick Set, 12Pc
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I was impressed. The cost was trivial.....yet the picks are durable and feel substantial in your hands. They work beautifully, with many of the tools maintaining a sharp carving surface. I liked the hatch marked and hexagonal handles which made each tool easy to hold and use. Even when they were wet with slip or sweat.
My only complaint would be that some of the ends were repetitive or functionally useless. But with 12 tools, you can afford to toss a few meaningless bits away and st...

"Create What You Want" Crystal Grid - Releasing Fear and Creating Peace
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I wanted to write a review here because I am so grateful for this grid. I have been dealing with anxiety and fear my entire life. I have known about crystals, but did not really understand what they were for. (I highly recommend watching Michelle Lauryn Eagle's videos on youtube). I would say within two nights of using this grid, I experienced a big lessening in my anxiety. Fear is under anxiety. Fear has plaqued me since childhood. I have now used it for about a week. And there is a big big dif...
Thomas And Friends Dinnerware - Side Kick Lunch Box Set
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Bought this is in January for my son to use for his daily lunch box. It is May and I already have to buy a new lunch box. It was smaller in size than I originally expected. The latch to keep it closed is loose and doesn't stay too secure. My son being 3 dropped it on the floor once and the plastic cracked. Not very good quality for a kids lunchbox. I am buying an soft sided insulated bag this time.

Customer Review: I am very unhappy because this did not include the juicer as promised. I plan to return it, but there is a problem with the lable.
Disney 5-Pc. Handy Manny Bath Toy Play Set
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I was glad to find some Handy Manny toys for my toddler (it really is hard to find things made for the under three yet older than an infant set!). That being said, it was a little diappointing to find Turner & Phillipe and Squeeze & Stretch joined together. It would have been nice to have them on their own - there would have been much more play value in it. Also, as mentioned by other reviewers, Pat and Rusty are M.I.A. Manny's face has a very strange expression and the paint/color of the to...
Moustache - Six Way
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I bought a pair of these for Mario and Luigi costumes. They were perfect! We has alot of fun bending them in different directions. The part that connects it to your nose got a little irritating but it was fine. There was a little issue with the hair from them getting stuck on our lips, but I guess that happens with moustaches in general. Very nice product.
Cloud b Twilight Lady Bug - Constellation Night Light
Amazon Price: $24.95
Customer Review: I think it's so cute, and love the idea, but i bought it thinking that i would use it as a night light for my 19 month old, turns out you have to physically flip it over and turn it off or the batteries drain rapidly. so i sent it back and will probably reorder it in a few years when we can enjoy it more.

eMagin Z800 3DVisor
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Decent hardware, but making it work is a pain. The software is amateurish and clumsy at best. Support recommended a third party driver for additional $$. That helped a little, but it is hampered by overly complex, paranoid copy protection. It's a shame really because IF you manage to get it going, it works quite well. Overall though, quite sorry I bought it. Purchased from Virtual Realities (via Amazon) who said I could NOT return it. I'll either sell it on eBay or see if it blends.
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

StarCraft Battle Chest
Amazon Price: $9.99
Customer Review: I bought this game thinking it was great. But then the graffics sucked they were all negative colors the only way to fix is to hack but then the game crashes every single time you beet the level. It is a very old game if you have a wide screen moniter or labtop do not get!!!! I like blizzard but they still dont have patch. Its a real shame I recomend starcraft 2 wings of liberty it works just fine.
Thrustmaster T-16000M 16K X 16K Stick Resolution PC Flight Stick
Amazon Price: $36.84
Customer Review: This stick replaces a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 USB stick I have had for many years. I had seen some tech reviews and animated tested results of the advantages of the Hall effects sensors and I was very impressed. Having used the stick a bit I can say that the smoothness of the stick is excellent, there are no notch positions and it moves smoothly around in any circular motion. It's heavier then the old MS stick, 2 pounds vrs 1-1/2 pounds and it feels solid. The hat switch at the top and ...
X3: Terran Conflict (PC Games)
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: There are many well thought out ways to play this game. Twitchfest, economics lesson, good guy, bad guy or any combination. It rewards brains and reflexes. It plays well on mid-power machines. There are many well developed free upgrades (mods) available. Some are unofficial releases by the actual game developers. Given the mods, default missions, variety of ships, and map size, it will be a very long time before you can try everything in this game.
CINDERELLA'S DOLLHOUSE LG
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: this game is labeled as working on mac or pc - it does not work on a mac - I am sending it back
Escape from Monkey Island
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: If the biggest complaint I can think of is that I don't like the art style as much as the previous game, then this is still a solid bet if you love Monkey Island, or adventure games in general. The voice acting is great, and the humor is funny enough that you can enjoy playing through this more than once, even after figuring out all of the puzzles. Play it, love it, and then recommend it to anyone else that hasn't had the fortune of playing through this game yet.

Ball Bungee cord 100 PC, Heavy Duty, for Tarps & More 9"
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This is a great buy for a nice quality bungee ball cord, and just as expected. They arrived quickly and neatly packaged in smaller bags of 10 that did not need to be untangled. Nice. Bungee balls are very useful, can be easily linked together to create various sized bungee cords. They are great for holding tarps down, and also great for attaching things on a bike, jeep, or boat. You might think 100 of these are a lot, but you'll be glad to have them after you find so many uses for them. Yo...

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
Amazon Price: $59.99
Customer Review: This game is simply amazing. Don't fall for the negative comments about this game. Yeah theres no LAN so what. Battlenet has created a great multiplayer experience. People are also complaining about paying $60 for 1/3 of a game. We already knew it would only be 1/3 of a game, that's why it's call WINGS OF LIBERTY.
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty Collector's Edition
Amazon Price: $99.99
Customer Review: This version has the same issues as the normal version. no lan, constant activation and your tied to battle net. besides, why would anyone who is buying this need another copy of star craft 1. A silly way to charge more. I really wished the mega version would have been worth a 100 dollars.

Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This seat is very sturdy and comfortable. My Logitech Momo wheel was easy to install and works well with the seat. I did need to drill a small hole in the foot rest/pedal platform so as to insert a bolt into the base of the pedal unit so that it would not slide from side to side. There was a female threaded nut inside the base to accept the bolt. The lower edge of the pedal unit slides right down into the groove between the heel rest and the pedal unit base. I purchased the optional seat adjustm...
Cables Unlimited ZIP-PWR-NB ZipLinq Retractable Universal Notebook Power Cord
Amazon Price: $10.88
Customer Review: Is really much bulkier than it looks on the photo. But again, it is much more convenient than a regular power cord. Handy to just toss into your bag when packing a laptop or such. Wish though, they could make a smaller model - which is quite possible if using a thinner cord, suitable for low-power devices (that most personal electronics are). And still keep the present model for other application.
