Here's a rarity in software - a package that costs under ten bucks that does everything you could expect it to do! That's what you get with Disney's Toy Story 2 Print Studio. The program lets you make all sorts of printed items decorated with your favorite characters from Toy Story 2, including Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the Three-eyed Alien.

The program takes you through a guided step-by-step process. First you choose the project - say, a party invitation or a picture frame. The screen fills with a blank template of the item with a palatte of clip art along the left-hand side. You simply drag and drop the picture elements onto the project. You can easily add text with selectable typeface, color, size, and style, background designs with a Toy Story theme, and lots more. I've had a blast making signs, posters, and envelopes with this program. Its the best thing I've bought for my computer in several years!

This is the ideal gift for the hunting enthusiast in your house, or any budding gamer. Deer Hunter is a 3D simulation of a complete deer hunting season. You begin by outfitting your virtual hunter with weapons and skills. Then you choose a season and locale, noting local ordinances and license requirements, and you're off! The game lets you choose from a host of weapons and locations, and makes you take all of the steps a real hunter would have to take in preparation. The graphics and sound effects are excellent and really add to the experience. On the technical side, the software takes up a whopping 400MB of disk space for a full installl, and severely taxes the computing resources of my little Cyrix MII 366 MMX system. But if the manly man in your house is cooped up this winter away from his favorite sport, this could help him through the withdrawl symptoms. And the multiplayer capabilities and other Internet resources will keep him happy for a long time.

Now the slot machine on your PC will have the same games you see in the casino. Premiere slot machine maker IGT Games has licensed their designs for this package. You get games like Double Diamond, Baloon Bars, Candy Bars, and your other favorties. One of the best parts of this package is that you can set the game to give you fantasy odds, where you win a fortune, or true casino odds, where you're lucky to break even. The program is straightforward enough, and has good playability. I would have preferred the sound effects to be closer to "the reel thing" (I couldn't resist), but there's a lot of fun in this package.
