spark plugs - spark plugs

Hey, these things really make my LS1 run a whole lot better.

By better, I mean better mileage and smoother performance.

I just bought them because I had 30K on the old ones. I was

surprised to feel a power difference. Bosch (4505) HGR8DQI Platinum IR Fusion Spark Plug, Pack of 1

I put 6 of these into two different Blazers. A 1999 and a 2001, both with the Trailblazer trim package. After 6 months of use, both engines have seen a significant decrease in fuel efficiency, losing an average of 3mpg. That's a 15% drop in fuel economy. I've since learned these plugs do not do well in GM engines in general and Chevys in particular. I will be replacing them all this weekend with stock platinum AC Delco plugs.

Do yourself a favor. If you are considering these plugs, do a little research first and make sure you are going to get out of them what you hope. I didn't and now I'm paying for it.

I am not saying these are inherently bad plugs. It's just that these plugs don't perform well in my application.

Purchased this for my 1999 Ford Taurus with Bosch 09743 Premium Spark Plug Wire Set.Unfortunately my car still had the original spark plugs and wire set (130,000 miles).Replacing the wires and spark plugs improved my engine response overall. Engine runs a lot smoother than before.

I honestly did not think I'd be able to notice my engine running quieter and smoother, but I'm happy with this even if it doesn't improve my gas mileage!I was concerned with misfires, and what some people commented was to make sure that the wires go to the exact place where they came from.I was very careful when replacing the wires and the spark plugs. It was a fairly easy job to do, taking about an hour to finish it all!Highly recommend this spark plugs. Later on I'll comment on gas mileage, since I do gas control for the past 3 years with my car. I'll be able to know how big of an improvement it gave me on gas mileage.Average before Spark Plugs & Wire Set:

City: 19 MPG

Highway: 22 MPGAverage after Spark Plugs & Wire Set:

City: Will update later

Highway: Will update later

These spark plugs may be a clever implementation of an old idea, but they don't get along with my Ford Explorer. Immediately after installing these, the engine began to misfire at 1500-2000 RPM no load and at very light load (30MPH in 5th gear). Misfire city. Fine under load, so they were not cracked. Hundreds of misfires on the OBD2 counter. Searching the internet revealed I was not the only one having problems with bosch plugs in explorers. Just to be sure, I also cleaned the MAF sensor and checked for vacuum leaks. Replacing these with autolite APP103 cured the misfire. I suspect the "no gap required" is not a hot enough spark. Avoid these in a ford explorer. I had to give a rating - 0 stars is more appropriate. I wish I could return them.

Our Aviator had 90,000 plus miles so it was time to change plugs. Make sure you have your dealer change the plugs because it's not easy. You have to remove several items before you get to the plugs. I took it to the Lincoln dealer and they changed the plugs for me in approximately 1.5 hours. These plugs run identical to stock. At first I was getting 50 more miles per tank and an additional 1 mpg gallon but now it has tampered off. No problems so far.

In conjunction with new Motorcraft plug wires i picked up a few horses and i think a tad better mileage so far. Have driven over 500 miles on them no engine codes or problems so they run fine. Went into my 99 Taurus with a Vulcan engine

Well I finally changed my old plugs with these ones, got more power engine, better gas mileage BUT i notice my car starts vibrating as soon as I hit 60 mph. dont understand why but that is my only issue. - Spark Plugs'

Carbon Monoxide - smokedetector, kidde

Visit Store Now !!

We live in a 4 level split home. Our gas furnace is on the lower, 3rd level. Two years ago we had several smoke alarms, but only one carbon monoxide detector on the top, bedroom level of our home. One early Saturday morning we awoke to the voice of this alarm broadcasting, "WARNING! CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTED!" over and over again. I got out of bed and took the batteries out of the unit. By then my then 16 year old daughter came out of her room and was watching me. I told her to go back to bed, but she asked me why we weren't going outside to our designated emergency spot. I thought I was being a bad example after all the years of telling the children to get our of the house if an alarm went off. I didn't think there was a problem. I assumed the unit was broken or needed a new battery. I wasn't thinking clearly. So, I put the batteries back in to see if it would go off again. It did. She again asked why we weren't following the rules and going outside, so we left the house and called 911.

When the firemen arrived I kept apologizing for calling them to our home for an obvious mistake. I thought the firemen would tell us it was a false alarm. It wasn't. The heater core had cracked and was leaking carbon monoxide. The levels were high enough to make us confused, but not yet put us to sleep. Had my daughter not watched me handle the alarm I would have gone back to sleep without ever putting the batteries back in. We were very lucky to have my daughter and this CM detector.

The voice made everything so much clearer than just a siren. If it hadn't said "carbon monoxide" I would have left the batteries out and gone back to sleep because I couldn't see any smoke or fire and I was tired. I don't think I would have thought about carbon monoxide. It was well worth every penny. I now have CM detectors on every floor of my home. This talking carbon monoxide detector helped save my families life. Kidde KN-COSM-B Battery-Operated Combination Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Alarm with Talking Alarm

After looking at the excellent ratings for this product, I purchased two units and installed them - one each in the bedroom and the utility room. One day, I was getting the toddler to sleep when I smelt smoke and something burning. Upon exiting the bedroom (which has one detector), I noticed that the house was full of thick black smoke from a "microwave cooking accident". There was no fire. The fact that the smoke detector did not go off bothered me and I did a bit of reading on the detection systems. Turns out that there are two detection mechanisms - ionization and photoelectric...and to cut a long story short, one needs to have both types of mechanisms in operation. The manual of this product pretty much says the same thing on page 6. However, it does not tell me which smoke detection technology the unit uses - information that I can use to purchase a different smoke detector with the other mechanism to compliment this one. I can only know how good this product is when it responds to something that triggers it. It did not pick up smoke that I picked up by smelling, and the documentation is inadequate. That is why I give it a one.

I've installed installed two of these Kidde brand combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in my elder parents home. I have one in my own home as well and have found them all to be reliable and trouble free.

What attracted me to this model were its many features:

First, it has a low profile, attractive and unobtrusive design.

Second and perhaps most important, it has a voice speaking function that, in addition to the 85db alert horn, will speak out clear warnings: "FIRE, FIRE" or "DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE". I think that this feature is a terrific addition toward modern life-safety technology. Indeed, you will likely see more voice warning devices in the near future.

We rely on these detectors to warn us, especially at night when we are sleeping. Awakening to this detector from a deep sleep helps orient you quickly by telling you the specific danger -- clearly and unmistakably. Notably, recent studies have shown that children can sleep through traditional smoke detector alarms, but will respond to voice warnings -- which this unit provides. Thus, placed in or near bedrooms this device can be a true lifesaver.

Another favorite feature is ease of installation. It was a breeze and truly could not be simpler. A screwriver is all you need. A small power drill/driver would speed the process, but is not necessary. Two screws into the ceiling or wall and you are done with the mounting bracket. The detector then just clicks in to place with a clockwise flick of the wrist. This is a do-it-yourselfer's dream. It doesn't get any easier!

Battery maintenance is easy too as all you need do is turn the detector counter-clock wise a few clicks, and down it comes. You slide open the battery cover, take out the old batteries and pop in the new. Replace the detector back in the attached ceiling bracket, give it a slight turn and in it goes with a firm click. Done! Easier than screwing in a light bulb.

Finally, the price is right! Under $40 for a unique life-safety device that is quickly installed and easily maintained.

I have elected to use Energizer lithium batteries and replace them every 12 months -- with no problems. You may wish to change the batteries every 6 or 9 months. Duracells would also be a good choice. I personally would not use the cheaper, so called "heavy duty" batteries in a life-safety device.

I should add that I would also suggest that if you have a home with multiple levels or an apartment with several rooms, having a separate stand-alone carbon monoxide detector elsewhere in the house as part of a total home plan would be a wise investment. Kidde also makes a fine combination model that protects against Carbon Monoxide and Explosive Gas. That unit, which has a digital display, runs on electricity and has a battery back-up system. It plugs in any electric outlet and can stay in the wall socket, or it can be placed flat on a table or dresser.

I would also recommend Kidde's dedicated dual sensor photoelectric/ionization smoke detectors. These dual sensor devices provide maximum warning under fast or slow moving fire conditions. As one never knows what kind of fire could occur, these are the most versatile.

Be sure to test your alarm regularly. REMEMBER that most carbon monoxide detectors NEED TO BE REPLACED about every five to seven years (see manufacturer's guidelines). Similarly, smoke detectors have a useable life span as well. It's usually a little longer than carbon monoxide detectors -- check your manufacturer's guidelines. - Home Safety - Smokedetector - Kidde - Smoke Alarms'

It was an excellent purchase. The price was one cent and I could not beat that. The shipping was reasonable and I received it in the mail before the earliest date to expect it. My wife and I are quite pleased. The batteries themselves were selling for $40 to $50 for the newer cameras. NP-FD1 NP-BD1 battery

My son, Alan, helped me obtain battery replacements for my Sony Cyber-shot Exmor R 10.2 megapixel digital camera thru Amazon. They were approx $40 each at several well known electronic stores but I was able to order a few through Amazon at less than $4 each - BIG SAVINGS

battery fits too tight in my camera & doesn't release from it like the original battery does. I believe it's the outer wrap on it that causes this. Other than that, I'm just happy for a back up battery for when the one goes dead & I need one. Wished the camera would charge while plugged into the computer!

Purchased this battery to have an extra. This battery ruined my Sony Cyber shot camera! It would not eject from camera! Had to be pryed out! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Saving on this after market battery will cost you your $300 camera! - Sony Battery - Rechargeable Batteries - Sony Rechargeable Battery Pack - Camera Battery'

-Dark Blue is Blueberry

-Green is Mint

-Lavender is Cotton Candy

-Magenta is Raspberry

I hope that this helps you! (it kinda makes me hungry) Mr. Sketch Scented Water Color markers, 18-Color Set(20071)

i just got these the other day i highly recomend them!

i like all there flavors and if you want a few fun games to play try this put in a bag and pull 2 out and smell them together and/or do a smell test!i love orange and blue slushie or banana!my teacher has them in her class room and evry body uses them and they are bright they are a little more expensive but its worth buying them its not a doubt! scented markers rule

Mr. Sketck scented parfumes aromatizados - with SIX new scents. Oh what fun. My son absolutely loves these markers. We got this new box for the new scents (school is starting soon) and it's a small price to pay for joy and a little motivation to return to the daily grind.

These are the fatter markers (not for precise drawing). They're great for larger projects and collering in big pictures. I've been surprised on how long they last. With proper care and keeping the lids on, they last longer than regular markers.

The smells! They're pretty strong. Thankfully, they're non-toxic because it can be worrysome when your child is stuffing markers up their nose for a whiff. These the child can smell without getting ink all over their face. And their picture will smell nice too - but if they use all the colors its hard to distinct which ones are on the page.

Colors and smells include: Black/Licorice, Red/Cherry, Blue/Blueberry, Green/Mint, Pink/Melon, Turqouise/Mango, Yellow/Lemon, Orange/orange, Brown/Cinnamon (my favorite!), Purple/Grape, Dark Green/Apple, Magenta/Rasberry, Pink/Bubble Gum, Lavender/Cotton Candy, Lt. Yellow/Banana Split, Peach/Peach, Lt. Blue/Blue Rasberry Slushy, Lt. Green/Tropical Punch.

I used to use these markers in grade school, middle school, high school and college. And now my kids are having so much fun with them. They love using them in their activity books and coloring books. They are more pricey than Crayola or Rose Art, but well worth the extra cost. They are fun and last a long, long time. You definitely will not be disappointed!

I'm a daycare mom and my first set of MR.SKETCH markers lasted me 7 years! I love the fruity scents and they print so nicely. I was excited to see them available in a larger set. I use them for nametag making, parent memos and tracing activities. They work much better and are a sturdier although pricier marker then crayola. You won't be disapointed.

These markers are great! I bought them for my nephew who loves them. (These were actually an upgrade for him, as I had previously purchased him the 12-pack.) The scent will last as long as the markers do, which is a long time. Mr. Sketch has been around since I was a kid (I'm 29 now) and they are as great as I remember! Any kid would love these.

Corporate trainers and teachers have been noticing for two years that the quality of Mr.Sketch markers has dropped significantly. The tips do not write well and they are not "juicy" enough, so letters on a flip chart can no longer be seen at a distance. Calling the company (contact information below) just confirms that they know they have a problem and are "working on it" but there is no solution yet. Very disappointing for us very loyal customers who have insisted on what were the best writing, non-toxic, brilliant colored markers out there at a reasonable price. Please join in and urge them to return to their prior quality. Newell Rubbermaid Office Products Group (formerly Sanford)

My first experience with these markers was for a presentation at work. Since that time I have used many sets of these markers and have never been disappointed. Our grandkids use them now; and each one has to have their own set.The colors are vivid and bright; the scents are a hit with kids and grownups alike.'

Mens Underwear

Visit Store Now !!

Had this shipped to me in Iraq. My underwear collection was hurting and the local laundry service had done a number on my undergarments over the months. I was so happy to get these. I still remember slipping into my new boxer briefs. They are durable and held up admirably to the stresses of combat. Hanes Classics Men's 4-Pack Multi-Color Boxer Brief Underwear, Slate Heather/Blue Stone/Scuba Blue Heather/Federal Blue, Large

These briefs advertise a "no ride up" quality (a definite bonus!) and after trying them on, I could see why: the fit on the thigh is quite tight. I ordered a medium and I have average thigh thickness, but these didn't feel particularly comfortable. If the lower thigh portion had more elasticity, this wouldn't be a problem, but there was little "give" in this area. The fabric itself is average quality and actually a little rough. I was looking for a tighter woven, softer feel that I've become accustomed to with Calvin Klein and some of the Jockey boxer briefs. On the plus side, the waist band is soft and comfortable and the pouch has an airy yet slightly snug "cup" feel. Also, considering the price, these aren't a bad value, so for the less-picky (not me) these may work just fine.

The boxers are decent. The cut is okay. I ordered the size corresponding to my waist but they are still a little big on me. they don't hug my thighs the way i would like them to. Still, they look okay.

Hanes makes a surprisingly good, comfortable men's boxer brief. The fabric is quite soft and although at first I felt they were a bit too snug in the thigh I got used to that pretty fast especially with the underwear becoming more comfortable after a cycle or two through the washer and dryer. Now the overall feel is quite comfortable.

True, they don't give you quite as much room as regular boxers but now I like these very much as I got to like wearing them pretty fast. (It's not that snug in the thigh.) The front opening makes it easy to wear while urinating and the elastic waistband is very well made. They last a long time, too.

I highly recommend these boxer briefs.

I was planning on buying some ck briefs but I was lucky and saw this in the process,I can honestly say that they are very close in quality at a great price, this so far have work perfectly and are very comfortable.

My suggestion would be: If you plan on buying quality at a good price go for it, unless you want premium at a premium price.

When I first received these Hanes Classics Men's 4-Pack Multi-Color Boxer Brief Underwear, I was pleased with their fit and comfort. After a couple of washes ( on gentle cycle in cold water and without over drying) I noticed that the there were little strings coming out around the waistband on a couple of pair. Not long after this the stitching continued to come apart and the waistband began separating from the boxer briefs.

I therefore cannot recommend these. I can however recommend the Hanes CSWB Boxer Briefs. They are comparably priced and seem to be better made with a nice comfortable fit.

My husband always buys Hanes boxer briefs because they're very comfortable and durable. These start off a little snug on the thighs but they loosen a little for a more comfortable fit after a few washes. The elastic waistband looks nice and holds up well.

These are my favorite boxers from now on. They are very, very comfortable and do not give you wedgies.

The price is great as well, but it seems that Amazon raised the price on them. Shame really because I got them under $14.'

Bike Commuting - taillight, bicycle light

Visit Store Now !!

The purpose of any LED tail light is to make sure cars coming up behind you know you're there. The Planet Bike Blinky 3 does a fine job at that, stays put, has great battery life and doesn't cost much. You get two mounting options - a big cheap plastic clip for the seat post and a smaller clip for a rear side strut. I put mine on the seat post. In past years when I had a baby seat I would have used the side strut. You also get two settings - steady and blinking. That's the only negative in my book. I can't imagine using anything but blinking.

This is pretty much a no brainer. My wife's has been through almost 8 years of abuse and has had only one battery change. I didn't think twice when it was time for my bike and my son's to get this safety enhancement. I now bike a lot during the late night. I haven't had a close call with a car coming up from my rear yet. Enough said.

Update - 8 months later (6/5/09): I added a bike rack over my rear wheel and had to re-mount this because the rack's cargo obscured the seat post. Neither included mount fit the small gauge bars of the rack. I was able to use the small mounting clip by adding a small strip of black rubber (cut from an old inner tube scrap I had lying around). Because of the orientation of the rack's bars my light is now sideways. This arrangement works fine for me. I'm still on my original set of batteries and I use the light at least once a week. Planet Bike Blinky "3" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light

Nice and bright, different flash settings, great visibility, mounting needs a little improvement. If there's one piece of advice I can give is check your seat-post before using this light. The seat-post is the ideal spot for placing this since you want the flashing to be as high as possible. Unfortunately my Raleigh SC40 has a seat shock post which is far too wide to use the mounting :( The rear forks also do not accomodate the mounting so there are precious few places this can be done. Unfurtunately, this means my flashing light is relegated to operate from a plastic bag dangling from my seat :(

This rear light can be seen for BLOCKS!! A great feature is the clip--it can be either clipped onto its seat post attachment or to a piece of clothing, if you walk at night. Battery life on blink (which is IMO much safer than constantly on) is weeks, if not months. Small enough to easily fit into a pocket, if you need to take it with.

With today's cheap electronics and LED technology it's trivial to make a super bright bike tail light. What you are really paying for here is the housing and mounting bracket.

I bought four of these when there was a blowout sale at REI. They're not terrible as other people have mentioned (cheap, small, light, bright, cheap, long running, clip for clothes, cheap, and did I mention, cheap?)

What I don't like is that the light snaps together - this is not unusual but the plastic on mine are thin enough that dropping the light onto a hard surface means you might be chasing the batteries on your hands and knees. Also, it's the plastic on the mount/clamp isn't very sturdy and if you put it on a mountain bike, it will need to be adjusted after every hard bump. Basically the plastic is so thin that you can't really tighten the adjustment screw sufficiently to keep it from slipping.

Do a search here at Amazon or the other online bike retailers - it appears you can definitely do better for the same price or even get something better for less!

Cateye makes top notch stuff, and it appears they have one which is the same price. (LD-130) I ended up with a more expensive Cateye tail light LD1100 and do not regret the extra $20 I paid for it.

Princeton Tec, Marwi, Blackburn and Topeak make good stuff - not as good as Cateye but certainly better than this.

Ride safe! Be seen!

If you've found this review to be helpful, please let me know!

This is a great product for the money. The mount was a cinch to install on the seat post of my bike and took only about 10 minutes. It comes without instructions, and I was a little puzzled at first as to how to install the batteries. That was a minor hurdle and certainly no reason to rate the light down at all. It was a simple matter of pulling the red lens cover away from the black part. It takes a little effort, and I was afraid of breaking it. However, it proved to be up to the task so don't be too worried about that--you should be able to do it with just your hands easily enough. I can't speak to the battery life at this point, but the light is BRIGHT! When I held it at arms length I was seeing spots afterwards. A driver would have to be asleep at the wheel not to notice me.

This light is as advertised: bright and easy to install. It comes with two installation brackets to fit your biking neede; one for the seat post and the other for the tire frame. I didn't have space on my seat post, so I put it on the frame and it works great. It is easy to take on and off (to prevent theft). It seems to be waterproof (I've ridden in the rain a few times without problem).

I would buy this product again without hesitation.

I found this on the street after it came off somebody's bike. It has flown off my bike once, luckily I heard it hit. Use some rubber bands or stretchy tape to help secure it to seat bag loop.

Not as sophisticated as the super flash models, but not bad at much less cost. Less likely to get stolen too. But, if you want the best get a super flash.

All tail lights should be tested and alignment checked before leaving the house. Alignment is critical and sloppy installation can degrade performance of lights by 90%.

I like to take evening bike rides, and this light keeps me safer. Its very bright and comes with 2 light settings. Its somewhat hard to get it open so that you can put the batteries inside. I recommend using a quarter to slowly pry it open. - Cycling - Bicycle Light - Taillight - Taillights'

Monster Games - pc game, pc

Visit Store Now !!

Saw this was out in jewel case for 10 bux (as of this review) and thought I might help you decide. Rest assured this game for this price is a great buy, here's why:

Graphics & Sound: the game looks great. Though some say there are better 3D type games out today this one pulls off the look well and the graphics are smooth. The environments look dazzling and there is little in the way of graphic glitches on most machines. The soundtrack and sound effects are great; and all of the sound fits the mood and environment of the game well. Some of the sound effects are amazing: echoes in caves and tunnels, bones crunching for skeletons, etc... Turn it up and enjoy!

I should note that the camera controls take a little getting used to - though you can modify all options via the in-game menus. Make sure you adjust all the settings to suit your needs and tastes (there are many customizable facets via Options)...

Gameplay & Fun factor: Nothing bad to say at all! Of course if you don't like running around beating up monsters, collecting treasure and magical toys, and saving the world then don't bother with this title: because that is what Dungeon Siege is all about! The story is simple and effective, getting you inot the action fast and furious. The game moves more or less nonstop and although there aren't any complex options for customizing characters or developing skills the simplicity makes the game that much more fun. There are more complex role-playing games out there - Dungeon Siege is not one of them.

If you have a home network this game is a blast. There isn't any adult-only materials in the game that I recall: save for the skeletons and monsters that can sometimes be a little gross. There is blood and gore but it can be switched off via the Options menu.

The original Dungeon Siege comes with 2 playable multi-player maps: the single-player campaign map and another map with a different storyline and slightly different world types. This is a great value for people playing multiplayer games!

Performance & System Notes: the specs on the package (recommended configuration) will run the game very well. Be sure that your Video & Sound drivers are up to date (very important) and disable any background programs (like virus scanners) to improve performance.

The various in-game options to configure video and sound allow for a broad range of optimization: even if your PC is slower or has trouble running the default settings you might be able to tweak it and play at a decent rate.

The 4 stars in this review reflects the fact the game, for some, can get very repetitive: there's a lot of killing monsters, finding treasure, and completing quests - if that bores you after the 300th monster slain then Dungeon Siege may get on your nerves. Happy hunting. Dungeon Siege (Jewel Case)

This is a good, fun game that does not hog system resources. While it is a couple of years old at this point,it has held up fairly well due to the quality of the story line. Probably not equal to the Diablo series, but definitely a good RPG. Fewer and fewer games of this quality are being brought to market, cherish those that are released.

This is a pretty good game overall. The ability to choose the NPC's for your group gives you more control over the entire outcome of the game. There are many NPC's that offer to join your group. The story line is kinda cool.Try it. I like it and spent many hours playing.

Its not bad considering it was made in 2002, a little simplistic but overall its not bad, if your looking for a real challenge then this is not the game. Graphics aren't to bad and the game moves a little slow, limited mobility, almost no exploration, your pretty much stuck following the story line and the trail on the map. But if your looking for a way to pass the time without getting to involved in a game then this is ideal.

Dungeon Siege Its an older RPG, but still very fun. As a WoW player,I know great visuals and immerseve gameplay. While not as visually stunning, I can still have fun with this. Great action, magic use w/ melee is unique to this game, and the power to control all of your party members give this game points above many others. Easy controls make movement quite easy, but the clicking gets annoying sometimes. Fights are good, replayability is ok, quests are fun and you will be hooked very fast. If you have yet to play this, try it. It will look dated, I know, but it will still be a blast

This is an action cRPG that came out after DIABLO II and just before NEVERWINTER NIGHTS. And it blew both of them out of the water!

Not as deep as NWN, yet the story engaged you enough to make it more than a hack'n'slash. Not as dark as DIABLO II, yet blood fever will take hold of you once in battle. A number of innovative ideas made DUNGEON SIEGE a unique experience: the cinematic perspective, the original characters (who thought up...machine-gun shooting medieval robots!), the fighting-back pack-mule...

At the same time, both the enemies' and your company members' AI is well above par.

Graphically, this is a 4 year game yet it plays much smoother and it has further horizons than most cRPGs today. Even if, to any true cRPG fun, graphics is not everything (otherwise DAWN OF MAGIC would have been considered a great game), DUNGEON SIEGE is found wanting in nothing when it comes to graphics. Not until TITAN QUEST got released could any cRPG hold a candle to DUNGEON SIEGE! Tress and grass move as you pass by, water ripples as you step into it and wakes as you walk through it. Everything worn or wielded appears on the character; whereas, magic spells are not shabby at all.

The game also sports a GREAT CAMERA PLACEMENT (zoom capable and totally customizable) and has one of the BEST SOUNDTRACKS - the theme music will stay with you as the appropriate theme for any epic battles in the future.

Those of you who were (rightfully) disappointed with the truly bad and much shorter DUNGEON SIEGE 2 (I still cannot fathom how they managed to botch that one!), keep in mind that it has only skin-deep similarities to its predecessor. This is the one to buy!

At this price, it is a great deal too - and you will enjoy it more than most latest games!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! - Rpg - Pc - Role Playing - Pc Game'
