light-gun peripheral. But at least it has been worth the wait.And a fantastic excuse it is too to get down to some serious blasting. Ported direct from the arcade machine, the game places you in the shoes of agents desperate to retrieve a satellite-controlling device from a shady corporation. This is all an excuse for full-on blasting action, of course, with plenty of little twists to keep you interested along the way. And, should you have a second light gun, the two-player mode is simply sublime.Despite the game featuring only three missions in total, to get to the end you need fast reactions, nerves of steel and the perseverance to get past some ruthless end-of-level baddies. Yet it's worth it. ForConfidential Missionis not only one of the best light-gun games on any console, it's also the latest slice of arcade gaming heaven to hit the Dreamcast and a further example as to why Sega's machine will be so missed when it finally goes off sale. For now though, strap yourself in and experience the arcade-game specialists in mighty fine form. --Simon Brew

Advantages: Interesting insight into the author's opinions Disadvantages: Sensationalist writing style that irritates
slickly demonstrated by a list of famous women in alphabetical order by first name (made me wonder if brothel madams keep registers...!) interspersed with quotes from the men about each other's seduction habits and from women who had been seduced. That, I have to say, is the most generally unpleasant chapter in written tone. But be warned, this is a book around which hangs a miasma of doom; do not expect a happy read when there are such topics to deal with as the appalling racism faced by Sammy and Peter's stomach-turning degeneration into addiction, sickness and finally death. The bright, smiling Ocean's 11 photo on the front cover, emblazoned with the red and black tabloid title "Rat Pack Confidential" belies what is essentially something that leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth (in retrospect I should have clocked the tabloid ...
Advantages: Easy to read Disadvantages: Too formulaic and predictable
the script himself and a demigod of a leading man, Siddharth. She quickly develops a huge crush on her co-star who seems to want nothing to do with her. She meets his teenage sister and becomes quite friendly with her as she's a nice kid. Things get complicated though when she starts to get to know Siddharth and finds out that he's not the aloof arrogant star she thought he was but the more she gets to know him and the more she likes him, the more she is reminded by his bitchy partner that he is not available.
Will "Taj Mahal 3000: Unleashed" be Raveena's big break into the film industry? Will she get her man? Will she be able to go back to Hollywood as an A-list star?

Bollywood Confidential is basically a piece of Bollywood chick lit and not a very good one at that. It's extremely predictable and I found most of the main characters ...
