No Line On The Horizon

Advantages: True music is back
Disadvantages: None

...No Line On The Horizon: No Line On The Horizon The perfect opening track for an album like this. Starts off like a fly through the clouds in dawn greeting a new day. That's how I feel about this song. The verses are the key point in this song. The chorus is also very catchy. Pure U2'ness. Magnificent This is probably the best song off the album. That angry and poppy intro doesn't prepare you for what comes next. Melodic layers of guitar while Bono yells 'Magnificent', probably describing their new album. The verses are very beautiful and the lyrics just phenomenal. Moment Of Surrender This song was the hardest for me to like but I do now, after some good sessions of listening. It has that definitive feel of their Joshua's Tree crossed with Achtung Baby. The bass is very beautiful. The best thing about...

  Drive Within The Parallel Lines.

Advantages: Much better than the last driver game. Modable cars.

Review of Driver: Parallel Lines (PS2)

Parallel Lines: Driver has disappeared

Advantages: graphics career weapons car choice
Disadvantages: bad gameplay on the whole quite unrealistic at times no multiplayer

...***this review first appeared on dooyoo.co.uk*** Personally, I was disappointed when I first played the new Driver. Atari had obviously seen the success of GTA San Andreas and tried to model the game around that. All the features that made Driver games what they were are gone. They are all repaced with a lame replica of Grand Theft Auto games. Almost all of the typical features of the Driver series have disappeared. On the other hand, Driver 4 does have very good graphics and the maps represent a realistic reconstruction of New York. The graphics are not only good on the cars, but the surroundings as well. The car choice also boasts a good range. Since the career of the game is set in 2 timezones (1978/now), the game allows you to switch between them in free roam. Meaning that the car choice doubles when you switch between them...

  AUDI'D RICHADA RATE THE A4 2.0 TFSI S LINE?

Advantages: Acceleration. Style. Build Quality.
Disadvantages: Power Delivery. Driving Position. Price. Equipment. Soulless. Fuel Consumption.

...THE GARAGE? At 4703mm long and 1826mm wide, unless you have a particularly small one, yes it should indeed fit inside your garage. WHICH SPECIFIC MODEL? At £27,830 (aren?t these modern day ?Cortinas? getting pricy?) and packing 211bhp, the Audi A4 2.0TFSi S Line, that I am reviewing here, is towards the top of a bewilderingly comprehensive range of models. It is the most powerful and expensive four cylinder front wheel drive A4 saloon. The A4 range starts at £20,485 for the 118bhp 1.8TFSi and tops out at a whopping £33,700 for the 237bhp 3.0 TDi Quattro (four wheel drive) Executive S Line. With each engine configuration Audi offer a quattro (four wheel drive) variant ? indeed I will be offering an argument for not offering certain models, the 2.0TFSi included, with only front wheel drive. IN WHAT CAPACITY AM I REVIEWING THIS CAR? This is...

The thin blue line

Advantages: great humour and so much comedy
Disadvantages: none

...Director: John Birkin Producers: Ben Elton and Geoffrey Perkins Writer: Ben Elton Stars: Rowan Atkinson, James Dreyfus, Mina Anwar, Serena Evans, Kevin Allen, David Haig, Mark Addy and Rudolph Walker.. Released in 1995 and running until 1996, with 14 episodes in 2 series, this situation comedy follows the lives of the officers in Gasforth police station. * MAIN CHARACTERS * * Inspector Raymond Fowler, (played by Rowan Atkinson) is the typical old fashioned police officer who plays everything by the book. His love of the job leads to a lack of interest in the bedroom department, which is very upsetting for his long term girlfriend and work colleague Sergeant Patricia Dawkins? * Detective Inspecter Derek Grim, (played by David Haig) is another old fashioned policeman but the total opposite of Fowler? Grim will try...

Behind Enemy Lines

Advantages: Entertaining the whole way through
Disadvantages: Slightly on the budget side

...Last night Behind enemy lines was on Film Four and I thought I?d give it ago, I had never heard of the film before and so did not know what to expect, I always give the info on the TV a read before getting into a new film as unfortunately I am one of the Biased people of the world who find a film more worth trying if it has good actors and a good synopsis. Judging a book by its cover and all that (slap on the wrists). First impressions Before the film had started I had my doubts, the cast of actors includes Owen Wilson, and after seeing more than a fair share of his films, I was doubtful to whether he could pull off what was being described on the TV info as an ?action/thriller? I have never seen him in a serious role and although this gave doubts it also intrigued me into seeing the film and made me want to see if he would fail...

Modern Warfare 2

Advantages: Graphics, Sound, Campiagn, Online Multiplayer, Simple Controls
Disadvantages: Complicated Multiplayer maps

...The wait is finally over and Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 has finally arrived. I was eagerly anticipating its release, so much so that I pre-ordered it the first day that it was available to do so. The original Modern Warfare and World at War are probably my 2 favourite games of all time, so would one of the most hyped up games of all time, live up to expectations ? ~~~ First Impressions ~~~ Right from the beginning I was impressed. The adverts before the actual game are again skippable, which means you're ready to start shooting in seconds. The first menu lets you go into whichever game mode you want and all in all the game looked excellent after the first minute or so. ~~~ Story ~~~ The game takes place 5 years after the original Modern Warfare. Despite your best attempts back then the Russians have...

Defining The Great Line

Advantages: Strong drum work throughout, impressive vocal styling.
Disadvantages: You may wear the album out from playing it so often.

...In 2004 the band rose to fame with their 'They're Only Chasing Safety' album which sold more than 350 000 copies. Underoath came back after a 2 year wait with this album 'Define The Great Line' with which the band have a great stab at success in the metalcore genre, a genre they started off in with their first two albums 'Act of Depression' and 'Cries of the Past' before moving onto the melody, scream, repeat formula of the 'They're Only Chasing Safety' release. I feel that this was a wise move for the band as I feel that this is a genre that they do a lot more successfully, and so in returning to their roots as such the band are definitely onto a winner. Underoath make strong use of their double bass pedal with this release, producing a heavy album that should go down well with many of those that listen to it. This album is full...

Review of Define The Great Line - Underoath

The Curious Case of the Brilliant Bad Album

Advantages: Some cracking songs, a good mix of classic U2 and new ideas
Disadvantages: Bono's terrible lyrics

...?The right to appear ridiculous is one that I hold dear?, so wails Bono on U2?s latest album ?No Line on the Horizon?. Indeed, and one he would appear to exploit to the full at any given opportunity. Bono, or rather Paul Hewson as I prefer to call him as I feel his alter ego is absurd for a man of his years, is someone I find quite perplexing and really rather irritating. But what I find irritating is that while his pomposity can bore me senseless, at other times I find him quite inspiring and I have never been able to resist a listen to what new material U2 produce. In spite of having ?moved on? musically I still consider U2 one of my favourite bands so after a two year wait I was looking forward to hearing the latest album. Unlike, say, ?Achtung Baby?, ?No Line on the Horizon? requires a good few listens to make a decent...

Modern Warfare 2 The Truth

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: may think that campaigns a little short but perfect for me

... Modern Warfare 2 Introduction Oh my god, modern warfare 2 is out and I?ve got it. With over 7 million copies sold world wide, on released date, modern warfare has no shortage of people to play with. Modern warfare 2 is the sequel to most probably the best shooter of all time (until this one) and this one expands and improves in almost everyway. There has been a lot of controversy about certain content which personally I don?t see that much of a problem with but if you don?t want to see it you can block that section out so what?s the biggy. Modern warfare 2 contains a brilliant campaign which although some reviewers such as ign say is to short i think it is perfect as it makes a good story, ends it very well and if it was to long I wouldn?t get the extra hours on multiplayer, Multiplayer has been further improved as I will...
