Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection (Mac) Review

The whole family has enjoyed playing Zoo tycoon. I purchased it as a Christmas present for my 11 year old daughter and she immediately began playing and kept going until we kicked her off the computer. Her 7 year old brother also loves playing, although it is a little over his ability level. He can have fun playing but his zoo’s are sort of crazy. This game also works very well for adults. I strongly recommend this for all ages.

• More than 20 aquatic animals to choose from — from giant squid to the great white shark

Defense Grid Review

If you like tower defense games this is a keeper. Fun, and a few different modes to keep you busy afterwords. Probably got a good 20 hours of gameplay out of it. I still go back to it every once and a while.

• Battle 15 different enemy types that become increasingly stronger, and employ a variety of strategies in an attempt to bypass the player¿s defenses.
• Utilize 10 different tower types with 3 levels of capability each. Each tower has unique tradeoffs that affect ideal placement, such as line-of-sight attack or ballistic trajectory fire; a large area of effect or damage over time

Star Wars Empire At War (Intel Only Macs) Review

Apparently this game is a huge hit.
I gave this game to my husband as a gift and we have had only rare sightings of him since.

• Play with a multitude of heroes for each side, each with their own abilities
• Control the battle between Rebel and Empire forces on both land and in space
• Dual-layered game play requires you to manage both strategic and tactical levels
• Play campaign across more than 40 planets

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (Mac) Review

I originally bought this game for my G5 in 2005. I was always impressed with how you can ride anything you create, in addition to dozens of pre-built rides. I just installed it on my new Intel iMac after not running the game for some time, and am still amazed at how cool it is. You can play it in “sandbox” mode if you’re short on time and just want to have some fun, or career mode if you want to get totally into it. I’m a casual gamer and like to keep a few of these classics around on my hard drive. I’m glad they still run.
