Allied Pickford the movers from Hell

Advantages: They really like to take your money and then not deliver
Disadvantages: Unprofessional, overpriced, late and don't take your thoughts into consideration

...We used Allied Pickford to move from NZ to Canada. This is our 3rd international move, and we had never considered using Allied Pickfords in the past. 1st of all our sea container mysteriously ended up in Singapore. It showed up over 4 weeks late. We were told our sea can would be taken from our residence in NZ and delived to our residence in Canada. The office in Vancouver decided for us that they weren't going to honour that. Half way through the move, they decided to unload or belongings in Vancouver and reshuffle them into a moving van. Which just exposes our furniture to more scratches and nicks. We found the person handling our move in both NZ and Vancovuer to be very inconsiderate and basically lied to us. We would recommend anyone other than Allied Pickford. They are very unprofessional....

Review of Allied Pickfords

Amazing Ally and her Girlfriend!!

Advantages: educational, nice friend for little girl
Disadvantages: she goes on and on and on.....

...I've seen Amazing Ally advertised a lot, but her RRP is £70. I think this is extortionate for a doll so was pleased to find her for just £25 on one of Tv's selling channels. Since I bought her, I've found her in several toyshops for £24.99. Amazing Ally is an inter-active doll, designed to be the childs best friend. You have to program in your childs birthday, favourite colour, animal, holiday as well as the current time and date. This information is stored in the doll unless you switch her off or her batteries run out. She'll count down to your childs birthday, telling them they must be very excited from about three months before the date. When Ally's batteries are running down, she'll ask you to change them and specify which ones have run out. She takes 3 AA batteries and 3 AAA batteries. They do last a long time though...

Review of Amazing Ally

A huge expansion

Advantages: huge expansion, new enemies, weapons, armour and items, great environment, outstanding plot
Disadvantages: may crash too often, most of the characters are stupid

...Oblivion was certainly the best Role Playing Game I ever played. The first official expansion to the game was Knights of the Nine which added only another faction and a few quests supported by a few characters and a villian who was not too impressive either. But the second expansion was one of the best expansions ever released for any game. Oblivion itself was a very big game with a huge world, and Shivering Isles expansion makes it even bigger. This explains why Shivering Isles take lots of more space than Knights of the Nine. Everyone who has played Oblivion would want to play this expansion too, or may try the Game of the Year Edition with all these included. MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Microsoft Windows XP/2000/2003 512 MB of System RAM 2.0 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor 8x DVD-ROM Drive 4.6 GB free Hard...

Assault by an Allie

Advantages: Very real looking and sounding game
Disadvantages: none

...I bought Medal of Honour: Allied Assault (2 discs) for my boyfriend the very first day it came out, as he had been ranting on about it for ages. He had already played the game on the playstation and loved it so I knew it would be a good buy. I payed 34.99 for it from Electronics Boutique and up to now I dont regret the buy at all as my boyfriend has been on it every single day and enjoying every minute of it (in fact he is playing on it right this minute). First of all I will tell you the minimum system requirements as there is no point in even buying the game if your PC is too slow: *OS: Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP. *Processor: 450MHz (Intel pentium 2). *Memory: 128MB RAM. *Hard Drive: 1.2 GB. *CD-DVD: 8 Speed. *Graphics: 16MB. *3D Accelerator: OpenGL Compatible. *DirectX: Version 8.0. *Multiplayer: 1 CD per PC. *Network...

A magical expansion pack for The Sims.

Advantages: Adds a lot of new gameplay.
Disadvantages: None really, unless you don't like The Sims.

...~~~*~~~ Sims Makin' Magic Expansion Pack ~~~*~~~ I have been playing The Sims for years and I have never used one of the many expansion packs until just before Christmas. I was on Amazon trying to spend some of those lovely Dooyoo Miles and I stumbled across the Makin' Magic expansion. (I ended up spending the Dooyoo Miles on something else though as this was SO cheap on the marketplace side of Amazon). ~~~*~~~ The Sims? ~~~*~~~ The Sims is a life simulation game made by Maxis. I am not going to write a whole load of stuff about the Sims but if you have never heard of it before look for some reviews of it or check out Wikipedia for loads of really useful information. As previously mention Makin' Magic is an Expansion Pack for the original Sims game. You need to have a version of the original game installed on your PC before...

Review of The Sims: Makin' Magic Expansion Pack (PC)

Excellent Expansion

Advantages: Many new campaigns and new units
Disadvantages: Few bugs

...This expansion is totally worth buying if you liked the original Medieval 2 Total War game. It includes 4 new campaigns and more than 140 new units. The campaigns include The Americas conquest, Battle of Britannia, The Crusades, and the Teutonic campaign. Each of this campaigns have very in depth historical details on them, unlike the original game which is somewhat a more generic european campaign without many historical events happenng besides the black plague and the mongols invasion. If you liked the campaign mode in the original game your basically getting 4 new games with this expansion. As each of them is a standalone enjoyment that will have you hooked up for many days. Expansion packs are divided into bad ones, regular ones, good ones and must buy ones, Medieval 2 Kingdoms stands right between the Good and Must...

Review of Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms Expansion Pack (PC)

A great expansion pack

Advantages: Now add stunts, new effects, new sets
Disadvantages: still only runs untill 2000

...OVERVIEW: This game is an expansion pack for the Lionhead game The Movies. This pack adds the ability to put stunts into your films. GAME PLAY: The game is set up exactly the same as The Movies. You are in charge of a new movie studio in the 1920s and you have to; build up your studio. Hire stars and maintenance staff, and most important of all make movies. This new expansion pack introduces the ability to add a variety of stunts to the movies. For this to happen successfully you have to employ stunt men. Actors that you already have can perform their own stunts but they are less likely to pull them off. If the do though it makes your film have a higher rating. Stunt men/women are employed from a stunt building. They then have to be trained on 3 different types of training apparatus. The more they train the better the stunts...

the sims 2 pets expansion pack

Advantages: great new features
Disadvantages: i prefer holiday pack more

...The product I am reviewing is "the Sims 2 pet's expansion" About a year ago I loved playing on the Sims 2 games. I paid £14.99 for this game from play.com Id purchased : The Sims 2 University, The Sims 2 Nightlife, The Sims 2 Open For Business, The Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff Pack, The Sims 2 Seasons ,The Sims 2 Bon Voyage and of course last but not least the Sims 2 pets . The thing that appealed to me the most about purchasing the expansion and stuff packs were the fact they offered great new furniture, hair styles, clothes, dialect, houses, cars and many other things my Sims could experiment. Buying the expansion packs made playing on the Sims 2 so much more entertaining, when you buy a game and you play it religiously after so long you get bored of it but with the large choice of expansion and stuff packs available you always had...

Review of The Sims 2: Pets Expansion Pack (PC)

By far the best expansion!

Advantages: Adds a lot to the game, speeds it up
Disadvantages: A bit buggy at the moment

...It's a busy life for a Sim. If they aren't at work, they're probably working on building up their skill points, trying to forge relationships, and of course, trying not to die of starvation or wet themselves. And now for those moments in between comes the latest expansion park, Free Time. For me, Free Time has been exactly what I was looking for. It can be hard work managing the lives of your families, but once you've got all that out of the way, well, there isn't exactly much for them to do. While there are games like chess for your sims to enjoy, I just wasn't convinced that enough people in reality enjoyed chess for my sims to take that much interest in it either. And so, many of my games resulted in all of my sims just sitting there watching TV for hours on end. But now, Free Time brings your Sims some all new things to do...

Review of The Sims 2: Freetime Expansion Pack (PC)

By Far The Best Expansion

Advantages: Adorable cats and dogs, lots of interactions
Disadvantages: Not many other pets

...I have owned Pets since it's release date, and it is easily my favourite expansion pack for the game. None of the other expansion packs have really appealed to me so far (though I have bought or played all of them at some point), but Pets is the only one that I feel really adds a lot to the game. It's quite obvious from the title exactly what Pets brings to the world of the Sims - pets! Your Sims now have the chance to own dogs and cats. They can also own tropical fish, parrots and a strange creature called a Womrat, but these do not add nearly as much to the game as the canines and felines do. These two really become part of the family - although you cannot directly control them. The dogs and cats are absolutely adorable. They are very well made and look realistic. There are also literally thousands of breed variations you...
