Fisher-Price Open Top Take-Along Swing with Music & Mobile - Rainforest
$66.99
I ordered this as a baby gift for my sister, and it somehow came two days later! I have no idea how the store did it, but they sure were happy to get it so soon! And the price with shipping was less than driving over to Target to pick it up. Her baby loves the swing, and the small size is perfect for her city home. Highly recommended product and store.

Top Spin 2
$19.99
Granted, I didn't pay a lot for this game, but out of numerous games I bought lately, this is the worst one. The menu system is aggravating as all get out. Instead of just hitting enter to navigate the menus, you use the arrows and the "s" and "d" keys...but to make it as inconsistent as possible, at certain times in the game you do have to hit the enter key. Want to hit the escape key to back out of menus. Dream on. It does nothing.

And game play? Imagine a real game of tennis between you and Venus Williams. Now make a game out of you getting slaughtered by Venus Williams...call it Top Spin 2, and you are all set to go to market.

I also bought it to play two player over a LAN. I can't say that it doesn't work, but I haven't got it to work yet.

But at least it has party games, right? But they will only work with two game controllers attached to your PC. Don't have two controllers and you can't even start them to see what they look like.

Still it isn't a horrible game and my kids are playing it as I write this. And I think taking the time to learn it better may improve my opinion of it. But there is nothing whatsoever intuitive about controlling your player.

I think playing another person over a LAN would be funner because both of you would be closer to the same skill level. I wonder if I will be able to get that to work?

Totally different game, but at the same time I bought this, I purchased Virtual Pool 3. It was about the same price and it is miles above Top Spin 2 in game play and I got it to work over a LAN in a reasonable amount of time...though it is a bit tricky until you can figure it out.
