 - AwesomeI truly enjoy Hoyle games. I don't like the help feature of the game. The older board games took you directly to the help section for the game you were playing when you clicked on help. You have to search extensive for the section you want in the newer versions. I have purchased both the Board and Card Games for 2008. The board games doesn't respond to the mouse as efficiently as the card game does. I have to click more on the puzzle/board game than I do for the card game. Rating:  - moving pieces is annoyingFirst I have 2003, and upgraded to 2008 and am glad I did not uninstall 2003. Cons my favorite game isn't in 2008. My major con is moving pieces in games like checkers and pachisi. it takes a about a minute sometimes to get a piece to be released where you want it to go and twice now in pachisi when I was trying (my last piece both times) to get a piece in the home stretch, I must have put I too near the regular area and it planted the piece around the board, so the piece would have to go around again. In checkers, and I checked that it was a legal move, it wouldn't release at all. Pro a lot of new games Rating:  - old guys like me....We don't get too excited over all the latest computer games. We prefer more traditional games of startegy that can be played on the computer. They help keep the mind and memory sharp. There's a really nice selection of games on this disk that I can play on my HP desktop at home and my Powerbook at work. :) Rating: - Encourages Addictive Behavior!I haven't begun to play all the games included in this game set. I'm stuck in the Anagrams and the Slide Tiles. I'm awful in the anagrams, and I'm determined to do better. The Slide Tiles is a version of Mah Jong, that is positively addicting for me. I spend hours at it. When you "win", a wide variety of awards are presented from a certificate, to a dancing cow, to an audience giving you a standing ovation and clapping. The game has very good graphics. I'm totally satisfied. Rating:  - BewareThis does not work on Windows Vista, it says it is compatable with Vista but it will not load. I tried to get tech help but they never got back to me. I loaded it on my desktop that has XP and it works but the Sudocko doesn't work at all. I kind of wish I hadn't tried to upgrade, they did get rid of the music glitch and it is all on one thing now, but still not sure if it was worth the cost.
