Ok, this is another Universal monster movie, but an excellent one! The money spent on this production was pretty hefty. Claude Rains, Ralph Bellamy, Lon Chaney Jr. and others. Wow! Poor Lon Chaney Jr. loves a girl but gets attacked by a wolf. Poor guy, he ends up having some really sleepless ni

I have had real bad cell service using my iPhone with the $100.00 iPhone bluetooth. In fact I had 3 exchanges at the MAC store with no measurable increase in quality of service. The Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece worked right out of the box. Some clients think I am at my desk on a la

I've been wanting to play my region 2 dvds on a dvd player seamlessly. I got this item because it's cheap and I didn't need bells and whistle. It does a good job playing dvds. The dvd tray responds a little slow and the remote just has the basics except an eject disc button.

a little disallusioned
9/9/2007
Well, like I wrote in the world of warcraft review, I'm unable to play the game. I was hoping to play it on a private server, however I have been unable to get the updates for the game. One issue I had was when I tried installing burning crusades I got to the third disk, and it didn't take real well. So I had to retry to reinstall the game.

Great game value, but kids get hooked on it
8/29/2007
I purchased this game for my son. The folks at customer support warned me that they hear about kids getting hooked on the game and spending too much time on it. I can see how that can be true. My son had tried a number of on-line computer and other platform games. This one seems to be one of the best with the most value for the money (other than ones that do not have a subscription).

Again, do be careful, I have seen kids and some parents getting hooked on playing this game.

An OK expansion, but, really, nothing that new here...
8/23/2007
I was a big fan of WoW when it first came out. I had a great time with it, but there are several negatives that have finally outweighed the positives of WoW for me. The Burning Crusade adds new content (basically like the content of the original game) but does not address some basic problems with the game.

(1) WoW does not have enough safeguards against bad player behavior. The text profanity filter is inadequate and now the game has incorporated (or will soon incorporate) in-game voice chat. Sorry, but that is a real turn-off for me (and ought to be for anyone with kids playing this game). I am not interested in hearing heaven-knows-who saying heaven-knows-what via integrated voice chat. Gross and inappropriate text chat was bad enough.

(2) WoW is basically a grind-oriented game. People say there is a "story" here, but there really is not. There is a lore backdrop for the quests, but it is not a story per se. WoW is all about grinding for gold, gear, and experience/levels.

(3) WoW instances cannot be soloed. Thus, if you want to experience instance content, you must form a group of 4 to 5 players (at a minimum). Sometimes -- usually, in fact -- groups of players are great, but sometimes they are just awful. I enjoy multiplayer questing occasionally, but I do not want to be dependent on it to enjoy and experience game content.

(4) WoW instances take too damn long. Sorry, but they just do. Often, by the time you find a full group, you've run out of time to run the instance. Or you might get halfway through an instance, someone will drop out, and your group may well just fall apart or you have to wait again to find a player to fill in the missing slot. It's ridiculous and highly aggravating.

(5) WoW's Looking-for-Group mechanism is really lame for a game of this scope and with this many subscribers. The current Looking-for-Group tool is nonsensical, unecessarily complex, and not at all user friendly. As a result, only a small proportion of players even use it.

(6) WoW's next expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, looks completely unappealing to me, just more of the same for levels 70 to 80. It'll be a "must-have" for the dedicated WoW gamers, but for the rest of us? Meh. Not interested.

The Burning Crusade does nothing to rectify the basic problems with a game of this type. It added higher-level quests and instances of the same sort and variety as the original game, of course, but that's about it. I got approximately halfway through the new regions of the Burning Crusade and just got ... tired ... of it. And I was paying $15 a month ... for this?

I have played both WoW and Guild Wars extensively and, in my opinion, Guild Wars is clearly the better game: better story, better graphics, better and more varied options for various styles of play (solo/casual, group, guild, etc.), better combat system, sleeker armor, better (simpler) crafting system, better weapons acquisition, less grinding, more creative quests, no monthly fee, etc. And with the Eye of the North expansion pack coming out soon, well, this jaded ex-warcrafter will be headed for the new regions of Tyria with nary a look back.

If Blizzard wants to draw me and other casual/solo-oriented gamers back into the WoW universe, then they need to introduce summonable non-player characters (NPCs -- like the henchman or heroes you have in Guild Wars), allowing groups and/or individuals to fill the gaps in their teams as needed or form a complete team of their own and so have a reasonable chance of success for completing the various group quests and dungeons in WoW. But, hey, Guild Wars has that *now* ... :-)

Opinon from a disgruntled gamer
8/17/2007
First I would like to say that I loved WoW. I played it hours and hours a day. I was indeed addicted. I invested thousands of hours into my main character to get to lvl 70 (Burning Crusade). Then one week I went out of town. I return to find that my account has been randomly banned by Blizzard for "exploitative" activities. I e-mailed Blizzard several times about the issue. No answer. All that time and money lost. I have spoken to at least a hundred people who had the same issue and there are thousands of blogs online discussing random account closure. So think about it: do you want to invest thousands of hours and loads of money only to be banned from the very thing that you worked so hard at?

World of Warcraft - Burning Crusade
8/13/2007
You own World of Warcraft? Then what else needs to be said? Get this expansion! If only for the additional game features, this has a nice storyline to add to the original. MMORPG heaven!
