A Fun action packed game

Advantages: Lots of levels and makes you think quickly
Disadvantages: Addictive and harder than it looks

...Actionloop is a fast packed and highly addictive and somewhat frustrating classic game. The main mode is Challenge mode with 99 levels to complete. The main objective is to clear as many gemstones as possible. To do this you get a coloured gem in the middle which you use your stylus to fire at same coloured gems in the loop around the middle. As you get chains of 3 or more they dissappear and the loop shortens. The idea is to keep your loop as short as possible and away from the end of the line otherwise it's game over. Its addictive yet i do get frustrated if i lose :-) and as you progress through the levels it gets harder as more coloured gems are added (it starts off with only 2 colours) Quest mode has over 60 challenging games where you must destroy all gemstones that appear in each game. This starts off easy enough with one...

Review of Chill Factor (DVD)

Action Packed

Advantages: action-packed, good story, good book in general
Disadvantages: not suited to everyone's tastes

.... Unfortunately, Sierra Leone is in a civil war and is being fought over between the rebels and the government. To make matters worse, the government soldiers haven't been paid in months and so are defecting on mass to the rebel cause. After several weeks on the job, the rebels start to advance on Bohora and put up a massive assault on the camp. Jack and Grizz start their flight with vital supplies for the camp with Layla coming along to treat the wounded. They fly quite a few trips and then start coming under sustained fire that poses problems for the crew. The rest of the book focuses on their fight for survival in the harsh Sierra Leone environment; as the rebels pile more pressure on Bohora and Freetown (the capital.) The Verdict It is a very good book, if you like action-filled books, you should like this. Around two thirds...

Review of Descisive Measures - John Nichol

Action Packed and Ready To Go

Advantages: Brilliant storylines
Disadvantages: Not family viewing

...arrogant but always on target and Sam Leonard the son of the parents who adopted Alex when he was young. The team is completed by Dennis "Dotsy" Doheny, a Lieutenant whose eagerness to fight is not always met with enthusiasm and Captain Caroline Walshe who operates the Troops communication links and is definitely not shy of a good fire-fight or two. The series itself is action packed. Bullets fly in every direction imaginable as the troops tackle mission from a bank siege to finding and lifting a war criminal in Bosnia. Each mission is different and poses a different challenge for Red Troop. The constant however is the growing relationship between the team, varying from friendship to romance, which become more and more apparent as the series progresses. The special effects and stunts in the series are spectacular and correctly placed...

Another Action packed Chan adventure

Advantages: Plenty of action, more of Chans signature comedic martial arts fight scenes
Disadvantages: Plot is somewhat unoriginal, supporting cast are alright but not brilliant

...or was. He spends most of the movie trying to remember what happened. To start with, as he lands in South Africa, he's taken in by locals, who, having asked him who he was (to which he responded by asking the same question back 'who am I?'), call him who am I? (just to confuse!) and make him one of 'theirs' by painting his face with tribal paints and so on. Jackie starts to notice debris from the helicopter crash and wonders if this is a clue and soon decides to travel away, to try and see if he can get his memory back, so he bids goodbye to the people in the village that had taken him in. Its when he gets back to 'normal civilisation' that things get exciting really... and this is yet another good proper action packed movie! What can I say? the usual elements are here, as he teams up with a couple of ladies (who should be fairly...

Review of Jackie Chan's Who Am I? (DVD)

The best action packed holiday!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I go to Center Parcs every year with my family, if I had more money I would go more often than that as it is such a great change. My main reason for liking Center Parcs is that it's a holiday like no other. Usually when I go away I want to relax and find myself going on strolls and finding interesting places to eat and sit by the pool reading. At Center parcs though I am just the opposite. Center Parcs is an action-packed holiday. It is geared towards the whole family and having fun. It is definitely an active holiday but you don't need to be fit to have fun at all as there is literally something for everyone! Activities These vary depending upon the time of day and day of the week. Some are not available all day every day but you have plenty of opportunity to book onto the ones you want well in advance- before your...

Review of Center Parcs, Sherwood Forest

Big action, big fun

Advantages: Great for imaginative play, sturdy and brightly coloured, Made by fisher price
Disadvantages: expensive for one toy. Quite large so a big room is needed

...Fisher Prices’ Big action garage is one of the best children’s garages I have seen on the market to date. Although a little pricey for a child’s toy at £54.97 it really is money well spent. The garage comes in a box with home assembly required, this was a little daunting as the instructions came in an A4 booklet! However it took roughly half an hour to assemble and was relatively easy once I got going, everything you require is included with the exception of a Phillips screwdriver. The garage itself comprises of a ground floor level with barriers and petrol pumps, the second floor level leads onto the long spiral ramp as does the top floor level. There are two ramps, a speed ramp, with a jump at the end, which cars ‘fly’ off, ( they really do....usually straight at the cat!) this ramp also doubles as...

Review of Fisher-Price Big Action Garage

Action Packed.

Advantages: Good action - Great acting.
Disadvantages: A bit predictable.

...network behind them. The host of the show is a very charismatic character named Damon Killian who is played extremely well by Richard Dawson. Killian revels in the death and glory of the chase, but above all it is the chase for the ratings that is Killian’s only goal and what the show is really all about. Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is an honest cop who is framed for killing innocent women and children and his punishment is to be one of the runners on the TV programme. The whole film is filled with action and is fast moving throughout. I suppose most of the plot is fairly predictable, but that does not detract too much from the enjoyment of this film. There are some really well performed stunts and special effects and the acting by all of the cast is excellent. Because this is a very fast moving movie it gives it...

Review of The Running Man (DVD)

Last Action Hero Film Review

Advantages: Action
Disadvantages: This isn't 'The Terminator'

...So here we have a farewell to the darker, Terminator stuff of Arnie's earlier career; a tasteless, clumsy mix of action, comedy and satire; one of the biggest flops of 1993 and the 1990s in general. For all the things that people have labelled Last Action Hero down the years, however, I still can't bring myself to hate it. It's hardly amazing, I'll admit, but I'd still much rather watch this than half the action films that come out these days. It's a self-conscious parody of action movie clichés (made famous primarily by Schwarzenegger himself) and for the most part it comes across quite entertaining. There's plenty of moments concerned with Arnie blowing shit up and making witty remarks about it; and he even meets his real-life counterpart face-to-face and gets the opportunity to poke some fun at himself. Confused? Allow me to...

Review of Last Action Hero (DVD)

Action Packed 17th Century Balkan Tale

Advantages: Skilfully interwoven fact and fiction, set in the Balkans during the 17th century.
Disadvantages: Doesn't have the varied sub-plots of its predecessor.

...the politics of succession are paramount. The Principessa will need to be clever and ruthless to survive a new male leader, whoever wins the battle. She has already witnessed her kin murdered by rivals within the same family. I noticed similarities in her character and family life to our Elizabeth I. Perhaps this Queen helped inspire the author. I was kept guessing as to whether this princess regarded the English hero of Francis Quoynt as an enemy to be eliminated, or a friend to use, right until the end of the story. *** Recommendation *** The exciting but credible twists to the plot, with realistic yet fascinating characters and backdrop swept me back in time. I thoroughly recommend this action-packed, well-researched piece of 17th century historical fiction, which shows how trouble in the Balkans is nothing new...
