If you’re an avid gamer like me you have probably thought at one time that it would be nice if there was a way to protect your gaming disks from been lost or damaged. I know I have spent a lot of money over the years replacing lost or damaged gaming disks. Most recently, my young son got in to my collection and proceeded to throw those fragile disks across the room - It goes without saying that many of them were damaged and rendered unplayable.
After this expensive incident I started to seek out a way to protect my disks by been able to copy then and just play the backup versions while putting the original disks out of harms way. I came across a product called Game Copy pro that stated it would make perfect backup copies of my gaming disks that I could then use. at first I was skeptical regarding this product, it seemed a little too good to be true that for 30 bucks I could copy any of my gaming disks, after all I had spent several hundred dollars over the years buying replacement copies of games that had been destroyed or damaged.
I purchased the product and installed it. This was all very easy to do. The Game Copy pro software I found to be quite easy to use. In the members area of the Game Copy Pro website they have video tutorials also that explain how the software works and the steps it takes to copy a game disk.
Copying a disk was again, quite easy to do. It took a few minutes to copy the large amounts of data that is on a game disk but you can just let Game Copy Pro do its thing while you work on other things.
I have both an Xbox and PlayStation systems and have tried making copies of games for both systems and Game Copy Pro made the copies without issue. Most new games come with some form of copy protection on them but Game Copy Pro has sophisticated algorithms that can bypass almost all of them and the developers of the program do a good job it seems of releasing new updates so that the program stays one step ahead of the latest copy protection issues.
I was surprised after joining that the program comes with a number of bonus features. Some of these bonuses include the ability to download games for free from a massive database of over three million titles! They also have an extensive collection of movies and tv shows you can download also. Plus, there is a huge library of game cheats that you can search through.
A slight disappointment was the technical support offered by the Game Copy Pro team. I had an error that kept occurring when trying to copy one of my disks and emailed support about it. It took them several days to reply offering a solution to my problem., I was a little disappointed in the response time but they did help fix my problems.

Tomb Raider Underworld
Following the franchise’s legendary return to success under the direction of Crystal Dynamics, Underworld aims to maintain the high level of solid, free-flowing action that reinvigorated the series, while bringing back more of the spooky exploration and challenging jumping puzzles that helped define the classic Tomb Raider games of the late ’90s.
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
Rockstar Games’ cornerstone Grand Theft Auto series returns for a third run through the 128-bit generation, with this violent, mature-themed third-person shooter and mission-based driving game. Like its immediate predecessor, Vice City, San Andreas strives to provide a wide, deep foundation for its free-form criminal gameplay by setting the story in a slightly exaggerated representation of a familiar (if not glorified) American subculture.
The Witcher
Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski’s short story collection is brought to digital life in The Witcher, a single-player action RPG starring a monster hunter named Geralt. Players control the silver-haired Geralt in a fantasy world where dwarves, elves, and humans live in bitter seclusion and monsters roam freely.
F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon
F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) is an intense combat experience with rich atmosphere and a deeply intense paranormal storyline presented entirely in first person. This first person shooter combines creepy horror with gorgeous visual effects which elevates the game to a new intensity.

Design and tweak your car to perfection, then lay it all on the line in high-speed events around the globe. Battle your newly designed car in four distinct racing styles- grip, drag, drift and the all-new speed challenge.

Farcry is based in a tropical paradise that seethes with hidden evil, a cunningly detailed action shooter that pushes the boundaries of combat to shocking new levels. Far Cry runs on developer Crytek Studios’ own CryENGINE, which features unpredictable enemies that use group tactics to make the main character’s job more difficult.
Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War
Visit a dark, distant, gothic future and take real-time command of powerful armies to wage intense, tactical battles in the name of freedom or justice. Following Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior, this is the second game based on the franchise to be published by THQ. Like all Warhammer 40,000 games, Dawn of War is set in the futuristic fantasy universe of Game Workshop’s tabletop war game, which first became popular in the late 1980s.
Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2 offers 50 plus hours of game play, it has a full feature toolset for creating more realistic characters. It is probably the most authentic representation of a Dungeons and Dragons game that you will find for a computer video game.

The Mystery Case Files series is back yet again for another compelling hidden object game that sets another level for this genre. Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst lets you again play as the famous agent as you travel back into Ravenhearst Manor trying to unravel deeper secrets after freeing Emma Ravenhearst in the previous game. But this time around, it will be more dangerous, more mysterious and even creepier than ever before experienced by your agent alter-ego.
After freeing Emma’s soul from the manor and failing your last case in the circus, it seems that you have a lot of trouble in your hands since you had also freed Charles Dalimar’s killing soul. Charles killed Emma from the previous game, but after Emma’s death, you are never certain on whether more restless souls were trapped inside this haunted mansion. But worse than all of these is that you’re life is now in danger too, and that’s why you have to solve this case fast before Charles’ soul comes back to haunt you.
Just as expected, Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst is really full of surprises from what we were used to play on its previous installments. This time around, you are free to explore the whole of Ravenhearst Manor as you like while playing puzzles, making scene interactions and finding hidden objects as you go. And what’s more convenient is the absence of a time limit, enabling you to explore the whole game as much as you like and penalizing your click spam by just making you lose control of the cursor for a brief period of time.

Do you feel at times you are losing your mind. How is your memory? Do you walk in a room and wonder why you are there? Read on.
I love to play Solitaire on the computer. There are three games I love to play. Regular solitaire, Spider and Free Cell. These are free in the game section of your computer. These games keep your brain pumping. The more you use your brain, hopefully, you will not lose it.
Another game on the computer that really takes brain power is the puzzle express. This is timed and it comes at you fast and if you want to make points and go on to the next level you have to be fast.
I have never liked to play board games until recently. I played Rummikub with tiles. I sat down at this game and I thought it would be a no brainer. Was I surprised. If you want to win there are lots of twists into how the tiles are played. The idea of the game is to go out fast. I really had to rev up my brain in order to play this game. I even won a game. Beginners luck.
Under the solitaire games Spider solitaire is by far the hardest. I have only won a few of this game over the past couple of years. But I went home and applied the Rummikub technique to playing this game and I won 4 times in one day. Brain power.
I find it very scary to live in this world where there are various forms of dementia. I do not know about you but losing my mind and not being able to take care of myself scares me to death. I really believe playing board games, working cross word puzzles, computer games, card games, reading and talking with people will help keep your brain healthy.

So your Xbox 360 broke down and you don’t know what to do about it. This has happened to me and countless others. In fact, recent market research has revealed that Xbox failure occurs to about 30% of consoles.
The primary cause of Xbox failure is related to a design flaw in the console. Essentially, the Xbox has an inadequate cooling system which results in damage to the components. This damage leads to glitches and eventually the so called “red ring of death”.
Once your Xbox breaks down you are left with very few options. When I called Microsoft I was told that the average wait time for a repair was 4-6 weeks and that the cost of the repair would be $140. That’s in addition to shipping and handling charges!
Fortunately, there are certain steps you can take to prevent your Xbox from crashing and to repair your console if it already has experienced the “red ring of death”.
1. The first thing you should try it to simply remove your Xbox 360 from where it is located into an open area. Because of its poor ventilation the console heats up a lot and sometimes a bit of fresh air is all that is needed.
2. A second step you can try is to lift the Xbox 360 power brick directly off the ground. The power brick can also become extremely hot and lead to crashing.
3. A third thing you can attempt is to create your own circulation by running a small fan into the systems vents. This will cool down the systems components and blow away any dust that may have also contributed to failure.
