LIVING IN THE SHADOW

Advantages: Good looking game, good ideas, range of characters, price
Disadvantages: Poor controls and viewing angels, lack of effort in making game, weak link in franchise

...Nothing sparks great memories more than my classic days of Sonic the Hedgehog (not be confused with the new next generation title of the same name). The 2d platform game with the blue hedgehog was the first game I ever played on a games console. This was great little game as was the predecessors that came out in the coming years. I even remember playing the equivalent titles for consoles like the Sega Master System and Game Gear. I still hold these games with fond affection so when saw this title on the shelves of my local video games store I just had to buy it for old times sake. ~ The Game ~ In this game you take control of Shadow, a hedgehog (as the title suggests). Shadow is a black hedgehog with red markings and is based in the same Universe of walking talking action animal characters as portrayed in the Sonic Team Universe...

Review of Shadow the Hedgehog (PS2)

Hedgehog Fun

Advantages: Helps youngsters with their counting and reading
Disadvantages: none

...***Background*** Lynley Dodd is well know to most mums and dads out there because of her wonderful series of books featuring Hairy Maclary and Slinky Malinky but this one goes to show that she can write about more than just those characters. ***The Story*** This story is all about hedgehogs. "My garden's full of hedgehogs, they're sleeping two by three, under every flower, every bush and every tree." We hear how there is one that likes to hide underneath a pizza plant and two on a ledge before going up in numbers until we get to eight snoring in the woodpile. Then the little girl ponders what will happen when they awaken from hibernation after the winter. "I'm very glad it's winter, it's such a lucky thing, for there's going to be a traffic jam when they wake up in spring." ***The Illustrations*** As...

Review of Hedgehog Howdedo - Lynley Dodd

A Hedgehog of Blue Distinction

Advantages: Speed and Pace / Original / Addictive and Highly Entertaining
Disadvantages: Some may find Outdated and lacking detail

...Game Info: Name: Sonic The Hedgehog Released: June 1991 Developed by: Sega Average Professional Score: 9 out of 10 RRP: N/A You may like Sonic The Hedgehog if you liked: Crash Bandicoot (PSX) Gex (PSX) Released on the Sega Mega Drive way back in June 1991, Sonic The Hedgehog became a worldwide smash hit selling well over four million copies and securing the position of the second most sold game in the Mega Drive?s history. To date, Sonic himself has starred in over a whopping twenty games, but ultimately this is where he started his journey to becoming a huge iconic figure in the history of gaming. Not unusual for a game of this time period, Sonic The Hedgehog has an overly brief storyline. One that never really progresses much nor is explained in detail. However it...

THE CARZY FIGHTER

Advantages: CHARACTERS LOOK FUNNY AND NICE GRAPHICS.
Disadvantages: FRIEND OR FOE.

...Well the only problem you get in this game is the start where you get confused with the character since he plays good guy and bad guy at the same time. Actually in the game, hedgehog is a mysterious character that is yet to unveil his mission whether he is there to protect or destroy. But the thing is this; the choice you make actually determines the future of hedgehog. As the game may be, the game is developed depending on the nature of gamers, but let's categorize the game. The game has to be categorized along with Mario type of gaming both in game play and in character appearance GAME PACKAGE. The game comes in a blue DVD and drawn on the pack is hedgehog with a gun and with exiting game modes like one player game mode, two players game mode and other game modes. The one player game mode is made up of three major...

Friend or Foe? You decide!

Advantages: Play as Hero or Villain
Disadvantages: Frustrating and confusing to start with

...Destroy or protect? Shadow the hedgehog carries a dark past shrouded in mystery. Embark on a journey to unveil his true identity. The choice you make determines the outcome of shadows future. I was bought this game for Christmas last year, I think it was £19.99 at the time but I have seen it in the shops for as little as £9.99 now. I'm not too keen on sonic games as I remember hours of frustration but I gave it a go and found it o.k. This game comes in a blue dvd like box with a picture of shadow on the front with what looks like an explosion behind him and a gun in his hand. It is rated 12+ and is a one or two player game. Two player game This is a split screen battle mode for two players. Each player can use any weapon and techniques to defeat their opponent in one on one combat. Each player starts from a different area...

A Shadow of Seagals self more like

Advantages: Silly fun
Disadvantages: Hes getting old and creaky

...may have the goods, whether he has them or not. The deal is simple. He has to get the vile to get his daughter back. But who does he give the vile too? -Any good- In truth it?s not too bad for Seagal. Of late he?s been doing some stinkers and the fact he does five or six films a year suggest not a lot of the budget is ever spent on quality control in his unique Buddhist/Hollywood nirvana. Where Shadow Man differs from his previous crap is money has been spent on it and he does more of his own stunts and fight sequences, body doubles and stand-ins all too familiar in previous efforts. He hasn?t lost weight though. In the last five years you feared he would soon be on Incapacity Benefit the way he has been creaking and groaning his gut around the sets, jimmied into a corset. One of his unfortunately named previous movies, ?Belly...

Review of Shadow Man (DVD)

The Chameleon's Shadow

Advantages: Gripping from the start, interesting characters
Disadvantages: Thought the ending may have been more explosive

...I recently had all my shifts changed at work which means that I ended up working 6 weeks of nights - ouch! Knowing that work was going to be quiet and therefore fairly boring, I asked my Dad to recommend me a couple of good books. The Chameleon's Shadow by Minette Walters was one of them. The Author Minette Walters is often referred to as the 'queen of the psychological thriller' and after reading several of her books, you will see that this is a title she deserves. The Chameleon's Shadow is her 12th psychological thriller. Some of her other books include Acid Row, Fox Evil, The Ice House, The Sculptress and The Dark Room. Some of her stories have been turned into films or TV series. The Story Lieutenant Charles Acland life is literally turned upside down when a roadside bomb hits his vehicle while they are serving in Iraq...

Whats Blue, Spikey & Fast?... SONIC The Hedgehog!

Advantages: Fantastic gameplay, very addictive.
Disadvantages: No save option

...Time for another game review! This time I have decided to review an old classic game known as Sonic the Hedgehog on the Mega Drive. *** In The Beginning *** The Sonic phenomenon started way back in the early '90's when Sega first released the Mega Drive and not long after that the hand-held Game Gear. To this day Sonic games are still being released and Sonic is now Sega's best known mascot. Since the first release many Sonic games have been made and released, some a bigger success than others, but all (in my opinion) great! The review I am writing for you today is about the first ever Sonic game: Sonic the Hedgehog. *** Who is Sonic? *** If you don't already know who sonic is then read on, if you do then skip to the next bit! Sonic is a little blue hedgehog who has big superhero powers! He can jump mega heights, run...

Honeymoon at Hedgehog Corner

Advantages: Wow! Luxury.
Disadvantages: Pricey

...Honeymoon at Hedgehog Corner Background In my third or fourth review I had read a book called 'The Dinosaur Hunters'. In this review I told you (partly because of this book) we would be visiting Lyme Regis and the Natural History Museum on our honeymoon The area of Lyme Regis was beautiful, we walked to The Cobb and after a couple of hours on the beach fossil hunting and grinning at 2p machines, I bought one from The Fossil Shop for £3. Setting I chose this place from internet searches of Lyme Regis on the internet. It was the first place I saw that looked like a true honeymoon destination. This is the only place we booked out of eight places we stayed in for our honeymoon. I called to ask of The Retreat was available when we wanted to book. It was and I booked it out for a reasonable, yet pricey £90 a night. More than we...
