Monster Nation - David Wellington

The Wellington Hotel

Advantages: Location, freindly helpful staff
Disadvantages: bit tired/dated

We are just back from 4 nights in The Wellington Hotel. We booked it back in Jan'07 thru an online hotel booking site (I may have mentioned it in other reviews) We also booked flights directly with BA thru their website. We had stayed in NewYork about 2 years ago in a YMCA in the upper westside. However as my oldies were coming with us we had to book a hotel. We booked a suite at The Wellington for around £780 for 4 adults for 4 nights and the BA flights from ABZ cost around £1,200 for the 4 of us. We arrived at JFK around 1600hrs and after clearing immigration and a lenghty taxi journey we arrived at the hotel about 1800hrs. The hotel looked impressive from outside, the lights of Times Square were visable from the front door. The reception area is very nice, a huge chandalier greets you. The reception desk is small and quite ...

Review of Wellington Hotel, New York City

Scary Monsters revisited 25 years later.

Advantages: Better Sound.
Disadvantages: Historically inaccurate.

the single that had the sheet of stamps I didn’t have so for me the problem was solved, but I thought what about the other collectors like myself who didn’t have DJ friends, I pictured a mad dash around record stores by fans demanding to see sheets of stamps. With the single reaching number 1 in the UK in August 1980, expectations where running high for the album with everyone trying to predict what the forthcoming album was going to sound like? Living in a small east coast town in Scotland there are not a lot of record shops to shop in to buy (there are even less today) up-coming release of “Scary Monsters” the town had 3 sources of vinyl Woolies, Menzies (now WHSmith’s) and one small outlet called Elena Mae’s and none of them could guarantee me a day of release delivery, what to do I was unemployed ...

Review of Scary Monsters [Remastered] - David Bowie

Sea Monsters A Prehistoric Adventure From National Geographic

Advantages: National Geographic Game
Disadvantages: Too difficult to play

I would recommend this game to children aged 7+ who are interested in sea creatures. I am a big national geographic fan and looked forward to the release of this game, unfortunately I have been dissapointed with the finished result. It just doesn't feel finished, I think if they had spent a little bit more time developing the idea of the game they would of came out with a much more up to spec game, which would have broadend there audience. When I started the game up I got a message on screen that said 'These messages will help you through the game' and a sea monster appeard, on the top screen of my ds. Another message popped up on the screen ' 100 million years ago danger was never far away. The area will only get more dangerous over time. You must find a way to escape these waters. You will need to figure out how on your journey ...
