 Puzzle & Board Games 2009 October 15, 2008

This program is just "OK". I actually don't like it as well as my 2005 version, but was told that 2005 wouldn't work with Vista and sooner or later I'm going to have to upgrade to Vista.
I don't think they have much improved the program at all. They have added a game or two and the "Big Bang" games are fun but not to many of them in the game, at least that I like to play.
Not sure I'd have bought it had I know what ie was like. Most of the interface on this one is pretty much like the 2005 version I already had.
 Sure its a good game, but October 11, 2008

I'm sure this game is good but I had to return it since it is a DVD not CD...I don't have a DVD on my computer!
Disaster on a Mac!! October 2, 2008

Good it may be Windows but this program DOES NOT work with a Mac running Leopard. I loaded it and all it does is screw up the screen. None of the click buttons work, none of the individual games play and--worst of all--the game doesn't exit. To get out of it you have to shutdown AND pull the power plug for about 30 secs. DON'T BUY!!!!!

If you already have the 2008 version, stick with that and forget about this 2009 version. If you don't have 2008, buy that instead of 2009. The only new games are some Big Bang games, and they are hardly enough to recommend this "update". You are forced to play with a snarky little Geni (I guess that is what he is), and these classic games are neither particulary interesting or engaging. One additional problem is that the CD is a little buggy (some stuttering and the "orange" screen of death after playing for a while). There is nothing new here to recommend this 2009 version.

After a long wait for fresh game as it stands this game is stale same content except for the online games. The BIG BANG was a whisper, even after all fans of Hoyle was asked for ideas none was followed. Next year I might pass on Hoyle. Even with the on line games the game is not worth buying, maybe the card and casino games will be better.
