Trauma Center: Unique way to hone stylus skills
3 of 3 found this helpful Trauma Center: Under the Knife is an interesting, unique and mildly challenging game that tests your accuracy with your stylus much more than your accumen as a rookie surgeon. The cases range from accident victims to patients suffering tumors and such, all in need of surgical intervention.
Your sometimes friendly, sometimes cranky, surgical nurse guides you through the required tasks of the procedure, instructing you to use the game's various tools (magnifier/ultrasound, scapel, laser, drain, forceps, hypodermic needle, bandaging, etc.). You are judged on accuracy and alloted a number of "misses" for each surgery. Be careful when bandaging the patient following the procedure. You'll be harshly judged on whether you use too much, too little or crooked bandaging tape/gauze. This can be especially frustrating if you've made it through a tough surgery with one miss left, only to "fail" the operation because you used too much gauze.
The cut-scenes are a bit tedious, but help move the story along nicely. Graphics are average, but that's probably a good thing considering the semi-gory subject matter of the game. After a few operations, you'll learn "the healing touch" which will allow you to slow the game enough to get through some of the tougher, fast-paced surgeries.
Overall, Trauma Center offers a nice change of pace from your run-of-the-mill RPGs. It's not bloody enough for the faint of heart, but the medical terminology and explaination of procedures, while simplistic and a bit dumbed down, is enough to set the stage for an entertaining medical drama worthy of network television.

Sims Life Stories for Laptops Lives Up to Predecessors
2 of 2 found this helpful EA's laptop version of their wildly popular Sims series holds up well compared to previous releases aimed at desktops. The graphics, while not crystal clear, are sharp enough and the gameplay is comparable to previous versions. Zooming in and out via keyboard controls takes some adjustment, but in the end is more accurate than mouse-driven navigation.
The plotlines of the two life stories players can experience (one male, one female) are fairly linear, but free play is an option as well.
Do not expect all the building and customization features of the more memory-heavy desktop versions, but The Sims: Life Stories is a fun distraction you can take with you on your laptop that will evaporate huge chunks of your free time before you know it.
