Advantages: Superb location and communal areas Disadvantages: Hotel rooms being allowed to deteriorate
The Waldorf Astoria, An iconic, Landmark Hotel. This hotel has been in many films, so....I suppose I should be saying wow. My husband and I visited New York in the February of 2005. I was treated to a stay at the Waldorf Astoria. When we entered the hotel, I was.......blown away. The entrance is plush, extravagant yet elegant, with a pianist playing music, for those that wish to sit and enjoy a drink and just take in their surroundings. The reception area again was stunning. That unfortunately is where the glamour of it all stopped, during our 10 day stay, I lost count of how many times their \"systems were down\". Checking in therefore took an age. When we eventually got our key and were directed to our room, the disapointment set in. The room was shabby, the bathroom, although ornate and I am sure impressive in it\'s time ...
Advantages: fun, catchy, great riffs Disadvantages: not a vast fan-base
under-rated, particularly in the UK, particularly when you look at the success of bands like Blink 182, who to me, are a group of talent less nobodies. Right well, on to the pick of the bunch ??.
So Long, Astoria
The title track, and opening track, is a typical in your face, modern rock song. It mixes clever riffs with the surprisingly mature thoughts of lead singer Kris Roe. That for me, is where they stand out from other bands within the genre, the fact that they have a very level-headed writer who knows what to write about without delving to far into the out-dated ?I hate my parents? mode of thought. Yes, they do still enlighten us on similar topics, but without taking us to the ?been there, heard it? situation that many modern bands do so often. The song itself, is about going through your past in you mind and wondering about what ...
Advantages: Good music, fun gameplay Disadvantages: Children might find the game repetitive, suitable for girls only
.
There are also mini games throughout the game, all of which can be completed to be able to progress even further through the game. Everything is easy for kids to understand, and some effort has been put in to making Bella Sara be varied with lots of different ways to explore the game.
The controls are easy to pick up and the game is fun for children to play straight away. It?s only really suitable for girls, really of about three to nine years of ages, but this age group is likely to find enough in the game to make it fun for them for a while. The game does become a bit repetitive after a while however, as there isn?t enough different types of game play to have real long-term interest.
The graphics and sound are both actually quite good, and it?s nice to see that short-cuts haven?t been taken just because the game is written for children ...
