Bridge Baron 16 [OLD VERSION]

Bridge Baron 16 [OLD VERSION] Review

The game is, as expected, excellent. The sheer number of games dealt and the possibility of selecting what kind of game to play (i.e. NT, etc.) are beyond reproach.br /br /However, my rating for the ease of use is "two out of five." It seems to me that nobody even cared about usability studies--it is almost as if the user interface was an afterthought... More of a pet peeve: what is with the main screen? Who on earth found that even remotely "cool"? As a much younger bridge player, I might as well be mistaken in believing that robot-like ugly players do not inspire a good game of bridge.

Bridge Baron 17 [OLD VERSION] Review

Unable to find partners, but wanting to sharpen my skills and practice, I asked friends for advice on a computerized bridge game. I am grateful that they suggested Bridge Baron. This game is terrific; good fun at a great price. br /br /I tend to play 5-10 quick hands during the day, and it's highly enjoyable. Accurate in responses and adjustable to a variety of skill levels, there are enough bells and whistles in it to make it a very efficient use of time, too. A good practice and learning tool, I recommend it to anyone looking to play more.

Nice Game - Joseph L. Bagby -
BB 17 loaded easily and came up with no problems. The error in BB16 where the lead came into my closed hand when I played the hand and into the dummy hand when the Baron played the hand had been fixed. I like the home page better. No complaints, really

Hoyle Card Games 2005

Hoyle Card Games 2005 Review


See more picture


If you love card games, Hoyle offers the best selection with characters, sounds, animations, and choices. There are tons of solitaire games also and if you start with one, play it until you win, then go on to the next, it becomes a challenge everyday. And if you love Bridge, Pinochle, Spades, Hearts, Canasta, etc., they're all there. Unfortunately, the rules for each game used to be easily accessed on Windows XP, but are not available when you move to Vista...at least not on my computer!. So...if you can't figure out what to do to play some of the Solitaires, you're out of luck.

Hoyle Card Games 2005 Feature

  • Over 15 card games
  • Tutorial Mode and In-Game Strategy and rule book
  • 10 Interactive characters
  • Facemaker feature allows you to customize your very own character
  • Adjustable skill levels so you can start as amateur and play like a pro

I loved this version of Hoyle! - Peg D. - morganton, nc
Far superior to 2010, no comparison. This is a joy to have and the characters' voices and personalities are a riot. Can play without CD so you don't always have to load it in to get smart comments. I highly recommend this version.

Great card games for one person - Doug Lynn - North Lauderdale, FL
Hi, the best computer card game I have seen, its even better than 2009 version, which I bought but don't play. Only improvement I could suggest is to add multiplayer support.

Hoyle Card Games 2008 (Jewel Case)

Hoyle Card Games 2008 (Jewel Case) Review


See more picture


After a LOT of confusion and research on what version would best work with Vista, I came to the conclusion that 2008 was the way to go. (I have a 2000 edition that won't completely run on Vista). Then I came to Amazon and realized that there was a 2008 "Old Version" and "New Version".... WHAT????? I bit the bullet and found a "New Version - Jewel Case" 2008 locally and brought it home with some trepidation. IT WORKS GREAT! I also purchased the Board games 2008. I have the "New Version of 2008" loaded on my Vista Desktop and it also works on my XP netbook. Other reviews have stated that they haven't updated the players or the voices of the opponents, and I also agree that if Hoyle is going to release a new version every year without really "upgrading" the games then a "free upgrade" or a discounted upgrade for current owners would be good customer relations! The only other thing that irritates me is the fact that not all of the backgrounds/game boards/faces etc., are available for use, they have to be "purchased" with coins. I just received my Windows 7 Upgrade and am curious as to whether or not this will work with that. I have had no problems at all with this and am, for the most part, very happy with it.

Hoyle Card Games 2008 (Jewel Case) Feature

  • Create your own character with Face Creator, customizing everything from facial features to clothes
  • Interactive computer opponents with multiple skill levels to challenge everybody
  • Play together on the same computer and challenge your friends and family for bragging rights or play solo with 55 different solitaire games

Believe the poor reviews about the newer versions - Trinity - CO USA
Since 50 passed me by, I've gotten quite particular. I read the reviews on the newer versions wanting one that would work with my new Win7 pro 64 bit system. I even tried the '09 version and didn't like it for the same reasons others gave.br /br /I love this 2008 version. My Pretty Good Solitaire games I've played for years aren't working out visually for me on this system with a new widescreen monitor, so I needed something I would enjoy playing. While it isn't Pretty Good Solitaire, I have to say at least I'm having fun with this 2008 version of Hoyle. It's everything others have said about it. If you like to play card games to relax as I do and you're worried about Win7 etc....get this one.br /br /Kudos to Amazon for carrying it and at a price where I got free shipping when I included it with some DVDs in the purchase.br /br /while I don't like how some of the games play compared to what I'm used to, I still give it a 5 stars.
