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...

Review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3)

* Al in 88 Minutes *

Advantages: Good characters, Nice action scenes, Red Herrings and twists
Disadvantages: A bit too long, some slow scenes, not the best script.

...88 Minutes I don?t get to sit down and watch a film very often. Due to the kids shouting ?Mum? every five minutes but yesterday evening I managed to have an hour or so to myself. I routed through the sale DVD rack at the local shop to find a film to watch for the evening. In the end as my partner decided to join me in picking a film we choose a film starring Al Pacino. My partner is a fan and I always think he is great in his films. 88 Minutes is a thriller mystery film based in Seattle. The plot sounded quite sinister and even though I usually prefer comedies or light hearted films I thought we would get an action film for a change. The DVD was only £4.99 so I was hoping it would be good. The front cover of the DV is quite mysterious and reminded me of other action films such as The Bourne Identity. There were not a lot...

Review of 88 Minutes DVD

88 minutes of DVD action

Advantages: Good action
Disadvantages: A bit unbelievable and Leelee Sobieski is a really bad actress

...In his last umpteen films, I've found Al Pacino supremely irritating. Its been years since he done a film worthy of his early talent, and its been even longer since he done a film where he didn't spend the entire time shouting his way through his lines. Maybe the old fella has become a bit deaf. It was surprising then that I found his performance in 88 minutes a slight return to form, even if the film itself wasn't entirely fantastic. In it, Pacino plays a forensic doctor who lectures at the local university. He is a highly regarded expert in his field and is often called upon to give his expert opinion on murder cases. The film opens 9 years in the past, where Doctor Jack Gramm assists in the conviction of a man who is accused of attacking twin sisters. Whilst one of the sisters died, the other manages to escape with relatively few...

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...

Review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3)

H2O mop

Advantages: no chemicals
Disadvantages: didnt work well

...I found the H2O mop does not work well like they show on the commercials. I found it didn't glide easily across the floor and it didn't clean well like it says. It's stated to hold over the dirty/stained area for a couple minutes for hard to remove stains and after more than 10 minutes it was still not any cleaner. I also found the cloth cover did not come very clean after a wash. If it actually worked as well as it is supposed to the $100 cost would be well worth it. I personally don't reccomend this product for carpet areas although I did not try it on hardwood floors. It's supposed to work well on heavier stains and with my experience it did not even work well on a light stain....

Review of H2o Steam MOP

88 Minutes Too Long

Advantages: It's hard to think of any.
Disadvantages: Dreadful direction, writing and performances and a complete lack of tension.

...Dr Jack Gramm is a forensic psychologist whose testimony has put dozens of dangerous criminals behind bars including sadistic rapist and murderer Jon Forster. But as Forster's execution looms, a series of killings occur that bear all the hallmarks of the so-called Seattle Slayer. Then Gramm receives a phone call telling him he has eighty-eight minutes to live. Has he helped to convict the wrong man or is the new spate of murders a double-blind? No matter what the case, Gramm only has eighty-eight minutes to prevent his own death? Director Jon Avnet is a hack for hire that has experienced moderate success with such average fare as "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café" and "Red Corner". But quality control has never been his forte, as this appalling effort proves. He takes a hackneyed premise and makes a comprehensive pig...

Review of 88 Minutes (DVD)

Nineteen minutes will last a lifetime!

Advantages: fantastic absorbing read
Disadvantages: none

...6th March 2007 started off as just an ordinary day for Josie Cormier,Matt Royston, Lacy Houghton, Patrick Ducharme, and Jordan McAfee. By mid morning one of them would be dead, alongside many other high school students, and the lives of all the others would be changed forever. Nineteen Minutes charts what happens the day one very unhappy and bullied schoolboy, Peter Houghton, decides that enough is enough and retaliates in the most drastic way imaginable. He bursts into his own school, wielding four guns and apparently shooting at random until ten people are dead and another nineteen are seriously wounded. This happens at the start of the book which then goes onto to look at the events in Peter's life leading up to that day, what happens int he immediate aftermath, and ultimately leads to the trial that follows. This is Jodi Picoult...

Review of Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult

Nineteen Minutes could change everything...

Advantages: Gripping story, well researched, unputdownable, great characters
Disadvantages: Nothing at all

...When Nineteen Minutes was released earlier this year, I bought it in a hardback edition as I was quite desperate to read another Jodi Picoult having finished my last book of hers quite a while beforehand. I actually forgot about this one until about 10 days ago when I saw it on my bookshelf, so when I wanted to read a new book I grabbed this one and looked forward to a very good read. And as usual with Jodi Picoult, I wasn't disappointed! The main story of the book goes like this. Sterling is a small town in New Hampshire, a sleepy town where not a lot happens. Until one fateful day in March 2006 when the world of Sterling is changed forever, when a boy who is sick of being bullied and taunted every day of his life decides to get his own back by opening fire at the student body, not caring who he kills. The town is shook to its core...

Review of Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult

Probably written in 19 minutes

Advantages: interesting storyline
Disadvantages: poorly written

...Nineteen Minutes is the 14th of Jodi Picoult's contemporary novels, this time the subject matter is a severely bullied teenager who takes his revenge by going to school one day with four guns resulting in him killing 10 students and teachers and wounding 19 others. ~~ The plot and characters ~~ Peter Houghton is a seventeen year old student living in a small town who, since his first day in kindergarden, has been bullied verbally and physically by his fellow classmates, in particular, the "popular" kids in school as well as his older brother Joey. As a small child, he is best friends with Josie Cormier, another girl his age who sticks up for him when he is bullied, until one day Josie decides that she doesn't want to be another loner and aligns herself with the popular kids in school thus ending her friendship with Peter...

Review of Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult

10 minute wonder!

Advantages: Easy to fit it around a busy life
Disadvantages: Probably not for beginners

...I have bought a good many exercise videos and DVD's in my time, many of which have been used a few times before I've grown bored of them and they have ended up gathering dust somewhere. However, I have had this DVD a few months now and I think it's fantastic! If like me you have a busy life style and need to fit a lot into your day, then this DVD is perfect. I really love the fact that it is broken down into manageable bit size sections. There are 5 sections in total each lasting 10 minutes. The sections are: 1 Pilates for abs 2 Pilates for buns and thighs 3 Sculpting Pilates 4 Pilates Burn 5 Pilates for flexibility The Pro's: - Obviously you can chose how long you want to work out for. When you're pushed for time, you can just do a 10 minute section and you still feel like you have at least done...
