 Awesome game! Must buy! November 19, 2007
I got this from the library, and it's awesome! You install it, and then you don't need to put the disc in to play it. The games are awesome; over 40 of them. You can create your own character that looks just like you, and you can play with other people too. When you play with the computer, you can earn money to spend at the store on the disc. It's so awesome. You can also play pool on it, which is one of my favorite games. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested.

These games are a lot of fun to play, there are lots of interesting characters to choose from as opponents and fun dialog.
 Good concept, but frustrating when the game cheats March 26, 2007

I've spent many, many hours playing all of the different games in this collection, so obviously it is overwhelmingly addictive. The only drawback I can see is that the game will noticably cheat, particularly in backgammon. If the computer is in a pickle, it will give itself the EXACT rolls it needs. It's actually rather obvious when it happens and I suppose Hoyle did it to make the game more challenging, but it just makes for a poor experience. I'm still playing despite this, so it is an enjoyable game.
Great game March 8, 2007
I still recommend this game to all young children and pre-teens who wish to hone their skills at chess, backgammon or other games such as The Incredible Machine and crossword puzzles.

What a great selection of games! I've owned it for three months and have probably tried about 25% of them. Occasionally I've downloaded a game for a free trial only to discover later I already have it (or a very close approximation) in Hoyle! There are games here for everyone.
The only drawback is not being able to save a game in progress when I have to get back to work. Considering the price, this drawback is hardly worth mentioning.
