TRANSPORT GIANT - GOLD EDITION (DVD-ROM)
$19.95
I'm so glad I bought this game despite all the negative reviews.

Pros:
- Excellent graphics (for this genre)
- Great gameplay (challenging, interesting and reasonably realistic)
- Huge variety of vehicles (from horses to trucks to trains to ships to airplanes to blimps and everything in between)
- Strong financial and industrial model
- Realistic yet fun
- Signals for railroads
- Visible city growth
- Competent AI

Cons:
- Eats memory as your network expands (slows down your system when you exit the game)
- Little help info (although there's a user manual on the website)
- Poor game music (if that matters)

I've previously played Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Railroad Tycoon 2 and Locomotion, and Transport Giant is far better than the rest. TTD and Locomotion have pathetic graphics which completely neutralizes any benefit of good gameplay, while RT2 is plain unrealistic in its lack of signals, deals with trains only and cities never grow beyond hutments!

This little-known gem is one of the best strategy games I've played, especially among the tycoon types. Granted, it's not perfect and there's a lot of negative publicity around it, but the least you can do is download the demo and try it for yourself.

If you're a Trance fanatico, you'll have your own take on this, there's much to malign and yet, just on the experience. It's unchallenged, I personally like this mix to anything Oakenfold has done before, or since (even the GU mixes). If you've never listened to Trance, or know trance only by what you've heard from Tiesto or Van Dyke. This is truly an inviting mix for those who've never really taken the time to appreciate Trance, for what it is.

I first listened to this mix as a freshman in college, this was the inspiration that took me to Ibiza for 4 straight years. Without this mix, i don't think I would have ever known of Digweed, Van Buren, Cox, Sasha and the likes. I'm now in my early 30's and this record still takes me to those same places that I experienced as a 19 year old.

Oakie might not be the same mixer he once was, but when he's long gone from this planet.. this will be one of the mixes that he'll be remembered by. My daughter is 2 1/2 and she's a fan of tranceport.
