The Crystal Key 2: The Far Realm


The Crystal Key 2: The Far Realm
A malevolent power has stolen control of all the souls of Evany, and you alone have survived. With the help of a star portal left behind by a mysterious visitor, you escape your imprisoned planet and find yourself alone in a vast galaxy of unknown worlds, desperate to find help for your beleaguered home. Journey to an island of robots, a mysterious abandoned desert dwelling, and the sparkling glass towers of the Merari, an ancient sea people who are involved in the resistance against the Balial

Customer Review: Don’t waste your time on this
I bought this from Best Buy for $10. That was $10 more than it was worth. If you like an ‘adventure game’ that is nothing more than scan the pretty background with a blue cursor and click when it turns green then this is for you. Otherwise look elsewhere. The adventure games I played on my computer 20 years ago were miles above this piece of trash.

Customer Review: Disappointing….
I anxiously pre-ordered the game from the Adventure Company ($20) since I totally enjoyed the first Crystal Key (that game got me hooked on PC games).

What a disappointment! I had technical difficulties to start with and the game play was awful. I will admit the graphics are good and the story line is so-so, but the jumping back-and-forth to locations and trying to figure out the next steps is extremely tedious.

Eventually I finished the game, but only because I hate giving up on something (even if it is bad!).

Not worth the money.

Customer Review: Not worth it
This DVD is cheap because it has NOTHING useful. The garden in the DVD is the ugliest one I have ever see or can ever imagine. If you think the garden will transform from the ugliness into something more sightful, you are right. The garden looks exactly the same after the entire video except one or two bare 2-foot trees have been erected. I think this is at best the level of amateur gardener home-made video freely distributed on Youtube.

In the TV series, Upsy Daisy clearly has a brown face. So unless there is a mistake with the photo of the toy featured here, this is not the real Upsy Daisy!
Customer Review: My lass loves it
Not sure where reviewer earlier got ?30 for as they retail at ?5, same as a Disney soft toy of the same size so not really over priced for what it is. My child loves it. It’s been everywhere with her, chewed over, wiped with a cloth as she was fed dinner and it’s survived. My lass is 16 months old and obsessed with ITNG and she loves this.

Warlords IV


Warlords IV
In Warlords IV: Heroes of Etheria continues the fantastic Warlords tradition of immersive tactical combat with creator-made heroes! Thrilling multiplayer action for up to 6 players

Customer Review: A mixed bag with a fatal flaw (for me)
I am a serious fan of the Warlords series and have owned all the turned based games and all of the BattleCry games. The first three Warlords (TB) games were seriously addictive. In fact, I still find myself playing way past the point when I should have gone to bed. I even have an old DOS system where I keep my old games and there you can find Warlords I and II (as well as x-com’s, Betrayla at Krondor, Master of Magic, etc.).

In other words, I’m a fan.

Warlords IV is a beautiful game with a visually rich world like those found in BattleCry. Cities are well-rendered and interesting. Units are varied and have tactical advantages and disadvantages that are consistent with the opposing units you will fight. The combat system allows you to choose which unit you will use to fight - and it allows you to change your fight order in mid-battle (something the earlier games would not allow). The city interface is a little confusing at first, but quickly becomes easy to use. Production cues are added so that you can plan out the tactical advantages of combined unit types in advance.

The game is very challenging, but the greatest challenge occurs only in combat with cities, because those walls are always shooting at you.

Now for that flaw. I like to play large maps with lots of cities and eight sides. In this mode, the game took FOREVER to play. I would make a couple of moves, square up my cities and hit the ‘end turn’ button. Then I would sleep for a few hours and go out for dinner, then come back and wait for the computer to move through the AI players. (Okay, that’s an exaggeration). But really, as the games progressed the turns lasted at least 5 minutes. Once, I got up and prepared a bowl of cereal as a snack - AND ATE IT - before the time was up (no lie). I play on a speedy laptop with lots of ram and I set all the game options to the fastest possible.

By the end of my first (post-tutorial) game, I would hit the ‘end turn’ button and set the computer aside so I could watch the news as the game moved through players. That can’t be good. However, I was determined to send a powerful army to an opponent’s capital to try and take it. It took a long time to create the army, 45 minutes just to get there and I still lost 7 of my 8 units. But really, I didn’t care anymore. I just wanted to try. It was so boring that I didn’t want to do any more, so I quit.

Now, I may try one more time, but I probably won’t. I will probably just keep playing War3 and shelf this one next to the disappointing end of the x-com series.

Oh, well.

p.s. - If you are a Warlords fan, by all means get this if you can get it cheap. You might tolerate the mind numbing waits better than I did and thus enjoy the other great aspects of the game.

Customer Review: Not as bad as people say, but not great
This game isn’t as bad as some of the other reviews say (especially once you get the patch), but I would agree that it’s not great. The main problem is that they removed some of the nicest features from previous versions of the game:

1. No more “King of the Hill” feature. To win, you have to capture every other enemy capital. That gets pretty boring once you’ve established an invincible supply chain. At least you don’t have to conquer every city; you just have to capture every enemy capital.

2. No more unit vectoring! Removing this was a big mistake. The new “production waypoints” system, as people have said, is a step backwards and can be a MAJOR hassle to tinker with once you’ve built a large empire.

3. I agree that magic items have become kind of wimpy now (though I don’t agree with whoever said that heroes have become expendable–you won’t feel that way when you see what a very high level hero can do). Exploring ruins usually isn’t a good gamble unless you have a very strong stack. Otherwise, you’ll lose units in the battle, and the reward is rarely worth it.

4. The AI is still very predictable. Basically, the computer will always choose the fastest route to its target, meaning that if you can take control of the obvious transit routes, the AI will have a hard time positioning its troops to attack you. So I don’t agree with the reviewer who said that strong flying troops negate the effect of terrain. In practice, it doesn’t work that way, because the AI (stupidly) always tries to use roads if it can. You almost never have to protect your flank.

On the plus side:

1. Magic, though still too weak, has been seriously upgraded. There was virtually no reason to fool around with magic in previous versions of the game; at least now the spells are stronger and the magic system is more complex.

2. The graphics are a lot better. But no one has ever played the Warlords series for the graphics.

3. Combat is more balanced. Plan on losing more units than in the past. You also have to think more carefully about how to put a stack together. Hint: having an archon and a unicorn in the same stack can be VERY useful, because they bless and heal your troops (respectively).

4. The game is stable and loads surprisingly quickly.

Geoff Hamilton’s Paradise Gardens [1996]
List Price: ?12.99
Used Price: ?3.74
Customer Review: Sheer Heaven
This is television gardening at its best. Geoff Hamilton makes gardens for real gardeners, and has excellent advice for the novice and the professional. The programme features visits to a wide range of gardens and demonstrates every aspect of how to create a cottage garden for the town and the country. Features include water gardens, secret gardens, and how to create your personal paradise. No offensive loud music, no helicopter gimmicks: just loads of hands-on advice and beautiful photography. Essential viewing.
Customer Review: A Good series with practical hints and inspirational gardens
The final series to be done by the great Geoff Hamilton. It combines the practical application of how to create a “paradise Garden” with a number of visits to inspirational gardens where this has already been achieved. He produces two gardens, one of which is on a budget and the other slightly more expensive, but in both the results are spectacular especially with the time scale being so short. It is a brilliant video which every level of gardener can take something from! Simply superb!!

If you only buy one item for your baby buy this! I was sceptical when i brought my baby home from hospital but she slept right through the night from 5 days! I put a sheep skin liner in it and she was away. Its brilliant if you go away as they can take their bed and you know there always going to sleep. My baby was really sick when she was little and it was good to know i could put her bed up where ever i was so i could always keep an eye on her. Its not like a moses basket that lasts for a few weeks we used it until she was 5 months all the time and as a travel cot till she was 10 months.

Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People


Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People

This unique book of thirty-six spectacular houses and gardens—whose owners come from the worlds of fashion, music, art, and society—draws not only on stories that have appeared in the pages of Vogue and Vogue Living over the past two decades but also on images that have never before been published. Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People takes you to these style-makers’ private realms around the world, captured by such celebrated photographers as Miles Aldridge, Cecil Beaton, Jonathan Becker, Eric Boman, Oberto Gili, Fran?ois Halard, Horst P. Horst, Annie Leibovitz, Sheila Metzner, Mario Testino, Tim Walker, and Bruce Weber, among many others. Their dazzling photographs bring to life interiors and exteriors, modern and classical, that are both inspiring and transporting. Writers like Hamish Bowles, Joan Juliet Buck, Dodie Kazanjian, Eve MacSweeney, Julia Reed, Marina Rust, and Vicki Woods take us behind the scenes to give us an intimate view of the owners and how they live.

Here are Madonna’s romantic rural retreat in the depths of the English countryside and the Oscar de la Renta’s coral-stone Palladian mansion on the coast of the Dominican Republic; Michael and Eva Chow’s epic Los Angeles manse and shoe maestro Christian Louboutin’s magical houseboat on the Nile; Donna Karan’s Zenlike Manhattan aerie and legendary tastemaker Marella Agnelli’s enchanted villa and gardens in the Palmeraie of Marrakesh; Julian and Olatz Schnabel’s operatic downtown loft and childrenswear designer Rachel Riley’s miniature ch?teau on the Loire; celebrated landscape gardener Fernando Caruncho’s innovative Spanish gardens and Houghton, David Cholmondeley’s magnificent English stately home; Janet de Botton’s idyllic Proven?al estate; and four decades of Karl Lagerfeld’s endlessly surprising houses, both innovative and palatial.

Lavishly illustrated in full color, Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People is an irresistible voyage through some of the world’s most beautiful and private gardens and interiors.

Customer Review: beautiful book
you have to love decor and fashion to understand this book.it is Vogue after all!!!! the book is full of fabulous properties and fabulous people.I went through it already many times and got inspired by it.

Buy it f you are a fan of vogue magazine !!!

Customer Review: sumptious living
There is no disputing that this is a sumptuous volume. Lavishly produced, its oversized 384 pages are crammed with images of exquisite rooms and lush gardens from 36 unique homes, owned by the rich and/or famous in Europe, America and North Africa and into the likes of which you and I will never set foot. (Which is the reason, thankfully, such books are produced and why we lesser mortals buy them.)

There are rooms modern and rooms classic, arranged with the taste, elegance and restraint of the world’s best decorators and captured by the world’s greatest photographers. And yet the rooms are not museum pieces, but are demonstrably inhabited by their owners, their well-scrubbed children and their adorable dogs, such as the greyhound on page 317 filching a piece of cheese from the dinner table.

My favourite room which is featured on the front jacket cover is of Janet de Botton’s breakfast room in Provence, its French chateau d?cor a study in white, cream and faded pastel, the background, literally a wall of china - floral motifed white plates and platters displayed on white-painted, floor-to-ceiling wooden plate racks built into the walls. (Already I’ve been measuring my walls to see how I can incorporate something similar - though less vast - into my old house).

At the opposite end of the d?cor spectrum is Amanda Brooks NYC loft, all kitsch and brash eye-popping colour like a Barbie Doll house with Brooks herself photographed in a Barbie Doll style gown in a Barbie Doll pose. (It’s not to my personal taste but cleverly done & I had to look twice to be sure the figure lying stiffly across the bed wasn’t a mannequin).

If you are a fan of d?cor books you will find plenty more here to inspire, amuse and entertain you and your like-minded friends and family.

So why did I hold back from a five star rating? My quibble is with the empty 14 pages devoted to Madonna which might have been put to better use: Madonna’s cow pastures, M. with (admittedly cute) children; a gowned & high-heeled & coiffed M. feeding the chickens (as if!); M. canoodling with husband, a double-page shot of M’s sheep — & only one tiny interior shot, a sitting room that was rearranged by the photographer & does not reflect the actual d?cor of Madonna’s house - which might have been of real interest even to a non-fan like me.

Thus the book falls just a little short of being, for me, the epitome of the coffee-table d?cor genre.

Customer Review: Every gardner should read this
The health aspects of organic gardnening cannot be overstated. The petroleum-based fertilizers and toxic pesticides, genetic alterations, etc. of current farming techniques are causing many health problems and will increasingly do so. This book, and other books like it, reveal truly healthy and environmentally safe techniques to grow untainted food that is truly nutitious. Your local supermarket does not sell food, it sells commerical products. Food depleted of its nutrients cannot be “enriched”; what was healthy is now “dead” food. Much in the same way most of us have been duped into buying “health plans”. Such should be more appropriately called “sickness plans”. Health plans do nothing to keep you healthy. Not one penny of your payment goes to increasing your health and boosting your immune system. But rather you pay them to expose you to what can be deadly immunizations and in fact they are much more harmful than beneficial. Germs are not your enemy. The suppression of your immune system is. It is what you do to your own body and immune system. What you willing (and sometimes unwillingly) expose yourself to is what makes a person sick. Your body is completely capable of healing itself when you provide it with the proper nutients found in natural herbs, fruits, and vegetables grown free of man-made chemicals and toxins. The answers are out there but the medical establishment wants to keep them from you. It makes big pharma billions every year. For example if most of you knew that there are at least 10 (ten) cures for cancer what would we do with all those who overnight would become unemployed? Yes, there are commercial entities that want control over your life in every way, whether you realize it or not. Take control of your life or let the government be your guardian. Which one of these options is best for you?

Customer Review: found to be useful
this book was well organized in its presentation of problems for each type of plant covered. set in A-Z format of common plant names (though Latin names are used as well), the editors (Barbara Ellis, and Fern Bradley)give several ways to combat garden issues from an organic methodology. most of the ways of working with organics that they outline are not high cost, but are high maintainence as is all organic gardening, if done right.

the book also covers some common insects a gardener would see and if they are beneficial or not and how to work with the beneficials (what to plant to attract, etc) and to control the “bad bugs”. they also outline some diseases and how to fight those with organic methods. then they touch on other ways to fight garden pests (cultural, physical, and biological contols). they also talk about different organic dusts and sprays and how to use them effectively.
