Lego starwars B-wing fighter

Advantages: Lego, star wars, price, fun factor collector or to play with
Disadvantages: None

...set. But to my great happiness Lego had created star wars sets, I was happy to say the least and with my birthday money was overjoyed until I saw the range of prices, from 1.99 to 249 pounds and 99 p. Having 30 quid somewhat limited my options but hey! It was a gift and one which allowed me something that I would greatly enjoy, granted I would build it then take it apart and place it back in the box just knowing I had one. Also taking great care in opening and handling the box because that’s the way I am, weird you may say, but after some lengthy searches on the net I found there wasn’t much variance in price so I opted to get mine right away at my local toys r us. I paid 24.99 for the B-wing fighter, which I found, was the going rate and the only going rate at that. To my horror and the glee of my wife when I got...

Review of Lego Star Wars Classic A-Wing Fighter

One of the best books I've ever read

Advantages: Flawlessly skilled writing
Disadvantages: Narrator is very opinionated; might annoy you

...I've owned this book for five years and have read it about ten times; it is an upstanding example of contemporary literature. THE STORY Shriver's narrator is Eva Khatchadourian, successful founder of travel company 'A Wing and A Prayer'?and mother of Kevin Khatchadourian, who is in prison for killing a number of people in a 'school shooting'. [That's not a spoiler, don't worry; it's on the blurb, and you learn it within the first few pages.] We first meet Eva as a much disliked member of her neighbourhood, consisting of Kevin's victims' unsympathetic parents. We learn far more about Eva and Franklin, her husband, than about Kevin at the beginning, because Eva gives an account of their lives before and leading up to his birth, in an attempt to debate what portion of the blame belongs to whom. We do meet Kevin during this part...

Review of We Need to Talk About Kevin - Lionel Shriver

At Her Majesty's Pleasure

Advantages: Brilliant acting and fantastic scripts
Disadvantages: N/A

...on a course in Disturbing the Peace it should be exceptionally good news and it is until they meet his replacement. No Peace For The Wicked sees Fletcher becoming increasingly annoyed when he can't seem to get two minutes peace and quiet. Despite a football match between A-Wing and B-Wing Fletch seems to be in high demand. In Happy Release Fletcher is laid-up in hospital with a broken foot. This should be heaven but Norbert is in there too and annoying Fletcher to death. Even with an injury can Fletcher still get his own back? The Harder They Fall sees Godber accepted onto the prisons boxing team. Fletcher isn't too happy about it but is less happy when he finds himself being used by another inmate. Out of the 6 episodes on this DVD I definitely have my favourite and that is episode 4 entitles "No Peace For the Wicked". This...

Review of Porridge - Series 2 (DVD)

Great Shot Kid, thats One in a Million!

Advantages: Rogue Squadron action!
Disadvantages: None!

...I always knew I was gonna love RSII, ever since I'd gotten the previous game on N64. Its a dream to play, continuing on from the success of its predecessor, the graphics are superb, with the detail of the levels to an extent that is just mesmerising. And thats just the beginning! The levels are fab, with a difficulty which I feel is well balanced, not too easy, not too hard. The medal system, which rewards you based on various factors in completing the mission (eg accuracy of shots, lives intact, kill factor) gives it the extra boost, something continuing from RS I. There are various ships in use, some which are unlocked as you collect medals and raise in rank. I still adhere to the XWing, which isnt available for all missions, but is a classic fighter none the less. A-Wing is just...wow. I hate the Y-Wing, but thats something to...

Review of Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II - Rogue Leader (GameCube)

A horrific novel that packs a punch.

Advantages: Great structure and characterisation, particularly on Kevin.
Disadvantages: May be too dark for some.

..., who, having made her fortune from her travel guide company ?A Wing and a Prayer?, decides to settle down with her long-term partner Franklin. She is intelligent, well educated and emotional; yet she is never fully satisfied with the life she leads, always looking for the extra something she considers to be missing. This extra something could be a child, although Eva is seemingly ambivalent to the idea and constantly questioning herself, unsure whether she can bond or feel instant love to a possible son or daughter. Despite her own indifference and initial scepticism to the idea she decides a child may be the key ingredient missing, and as such baby boy Kevin is born. However, due to both Eva?s initial ambivalence towards motherhood and Kevin?s own instinctive perceptions, it is clear that the new-born child is anything but perfect. This...

Genuine Dim Sum outside the bustle of Chinatown

Advantages: Great food, good variety, enough dishes for vegetarians
Disadvantages: Can wait for a long time for a table if you arrive after about 12.30

...with vegetables - these fine egg noodles were fried with mushrooms, Chinese broccoli, spring onion and carrot. Perhaps a touch oily, these were nevertheless flavoursome and the vegetables added a pleasant crunch to the softness of the noodles. We could have also ordered these crispy style as an alternative. CONCLUSION All in all between the 4 of us we had 8 dim sum dishes at £2-3 each and 2 noodles dishes about £8 each. The grand total was &37.50 including tip, so this was very tasty, filling and great value for money. I would highly recommend this place as an alternative to Chinatown, but be aware that in common with going into town, you have to arrive fairly early to avoid queuing.

Review of Tai Tung Chinese Restaurant, London

Something All Star Wars fans wanted all along

Advantages: Good controls, well designed levels, fly star wars crafts
Disadvantages: Doesn't use Expansion Pak Well, Fogging

...After the not too good Shadows Of The Empire, Lucasarts had to come up with something better well they did. The game is set within Star Wars: A New Hope (The first film) and the Empire Strikes Back. You control Luke Skywalker but it's not like any of the Snes Platform games or even Shadows of the empire. This all is Space Combat, well not space combat it's combat set on planets from the movies and even a few more based around the comics and books. The controls are virtually the best you could possibly do on the N64 and the graphics are good too. The expansion pak can be used but it doesn't work extremely well and there isn't much difference from Non-expansion. The craft available are X-wing, Y-wing, A-wings, the airspeeder (a modified Snowspeeder) and a new craft the V-Wing. You can fly the Millenium Falcon, Tie Interceptor and also...

Review of Star Wars: Battlefront II (PS2)

Not just for star Wars fans. An excellent shooter.

Advantages: An excellent, well-thought out game with a high addictiveness factor
Disadvantages: Can be slightly frustrating early on, no multi-player

...-promotion there). The gameplay is excellent, although flying your fighter can be very tricky at first. A neat touch is that you fly different fighters in each mission - the X-Wing in some, Y-Wing or A-Wing in others. Each fighter handles very differently when you fly them - this can be slightly frustrating at first as you struggle to learn to fly new craft, but overall it enhances the "realism" of the game, and I feel it is a positive attrribute. There are 5 craft you are initially given : X-, A-, and Y-Wings, the Snowspeeder, and the new V-Wing. Cheats are avaulable to fly the Millenium Falcon, a Tie-Fighter, and the Naboo Fighter from Episode1. As you progress through the game, you are awarded medals depending on your performance in each level. This greatly enhances the addictiveness of the game, as you are told how many bad guys you need to kill...

Review of Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (N64)

Games not to be missed

Advantages: Read my op ;o)
Disadvantages: Read my op ;o)

.... Luke Skywalker and the most daring pilots of the galaxy Star Wars are back. They exclusively become this time the heroes of enthralling Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2 available on Nintendo GameCube. As in the first episode of the saga, the players will have to prepare with incarner Luke Skywalker and Wedge the Antilles, while they will fly ahead of of the worst plagues of the Galactic Empire. Developed by LucasArts and Factor 5, this title proposes confusing animations, at a point such as the players will have almost the feeling to evolve in the one of films of Lucas. As for the scenario, it plunges us in the heart of a made particularly intense action aerial combats where it is necessary to learn how to control many faster apparatuses the ones than the others. The fans will thus find legendary X-Wing, A-Wing, B-Wing and Snowspeeder which...
