Customer Review: Morrowind
Amazing game, good story, decent graphics and at least 80+ hours of game play. Unfortunately my Morrowind CD came with this weird sappy stuff on the outside (I bought it new). Also my tribunal didnt work. Still great game I reccomend it to any RPG fan.
Customer Review: A great introduction to fantasy role-playing
/This review contains no plot-spoilers/. I'm writing this little review for those who have heard little or nothing about the game, perhaps even a parent of a potential player. Some things you quickly need to know... This is a final and best version of one of the best single-player fantasy games ever made for the PC. (1) It's set in a very beautiful and strange game-world, yet the graphics are five years old... but there are plenty of 'mods' (free fan-made plugins) out there that can make the game look and play far better. The game's fans have spent the last five years fixing and improving the game. Yet to research, choose and apply those 'mods' takes a few hours, and some skill with using a PC. It's a project in itself, but it's worth it. (2) You may not like the game initially, because role-playing is not to everyone's taste and can be a skill that takes some nurturing. The game is so huge you can play the first bits of the main quest for 15 hours - and still just be scratching the surface of a tiny bit of the massive free-form game-world. This is no "run and gun, down narrow tracks" game you can finish off in 10 hours. At 150 hours, you'll be qualified to make a judgement on it. (3) You have to use your imagination at many points, but you get plenty of stimulus to do so. You also need to 'suspend your disbelief' over some of the clunky animations, in places. This is a world that's strange, almost perfectly realised in terms of plot and atmosphere, and will make you think. One of the main themes is slavery and colonisation. Disease is also prominent. But it will also make you laugh - it's far more quirky than its rather dumbed-down successor Oblivion. I feel it's quite suitable for an intelligent and thoughtful 12 year old. (4) The game 'adapts' itself to your play style due to the choices you make at the start. You can play equally well as a 'Conan'-type fighter, a 'Wizard'-like magician, or a stealthy sneaker. (5) There's a lot of reading involved in the game, both dialogue and in books and scrolls. And a lot of strange names. This is not a game for non-readers. (6) Yes, the game will run fine on Windows Vista (fully-patched, SP2), just make sure you update to the latest Nvidia graphics-card drivers. The game has problems with ATI graphics cards. Yes, you can even run it in widescreen - as high as 1920 x 1200 pixels, using the free MGE plugin.

Nintendo Wii still sells like warm bread from the oven and it'll still be fun in 2009. Why is it still so difficult to find in some places?

That is just it - some places - it's not quite as difficult anymore to buy the Wii as it once was. In the UK for example, the store Argos have the console in stock just about 100% of the time now, but of course it's not like that everywhere.

Wii's main competitor, the Sony PS3, is still getting slaughtered in terms of sales. Wii Mario Kart and Wii Fit both sold incredibly well on release and continue to do so, with the Wii Fit selling out the whole of the stock sent to the US by Nintendo in the very first few days. Wii supplies in the UK are particularly short at Christmas due to the rush of parents who promised their kids one only to discover that they can't find one anywhere. Buy it summertime instead.

This console sells so well possibly because the Wii Sports in particular is a good way to lose weight and remains just as much fun now as it did when it was first released, if not more. There is another factor which makes this console unique and attractive for non-gamers - getting fit. Wii Fit's Balance Board works kind of like two scales fused together, which, as its designers found, makes it instantly more fun than just one. And boy, can you work out on it.

The audience is expanding even more as Wii sales are nearly double that of the PS3's. My guess is that Nintendo did not anticipate how quickly their latest console would be adopted by people outside of it's normal market. I think it is selling so well not just because of the "hard to get" principal, but also because it has opened up a much larger market for video games. We're witnessing a substantial change in the videogame marketplace with the Wii, one that even Nintendo couldn't predict and it remains a unique system that appeals to many non traditional gamers.

Maybe a Wii2 is on the way. Who knows eh?
