Arctic Tale

Advantages: Learn about polar bears in the arctic
Disadvantages: graphics arent very good and things to do are limited

...I would recommend this game to younger children. Its a very basic and easy to use game which learns you how polar bears live in the arctic. Arctic Tale the game gives you an insight into what the games about on one of the first pages. It says;- 'Our story starts in the shadow of Snow Mountain. In this unforgiving land, many challenges face the young Arctic animals during the early years of their lives'. I started to play the game, on the top screen on the left there is a large red heart which next to it says 3 and there is a message in the middle which says ' Each time you emerge from the den your strength and bravery will increase. Today for the first time, you will explore beyond the confines of Snow Mountain!' On the bottom screen there are two polar bears in the snow, a mother and a baby. You play as the baby polar bear...

Arctic Monkeys - Humbug Review

Advantages: Adds variety to their back catalogue, Lyrics are as good as ever
Disadvantages: Little to remember compared to first albums

...Arctic Monkeys ? Humbug I don't usually write about music but I thought I'd give it a try. I'm not a fan of most music reviews because they're dominated by impressive musical lingo that goes over most people?s heads so I'll keep it short and relatively simple. The Arctic Monkeys grew on me rather quickly with their debut album way back in 2006 after initial doubts that they were just another over-hyped guitar-fondling gang of girls. There first two albums instantly grabbed people with front man Alex Turner?s catchy beats and wonderful lyrics. So it's disappointing that apart from Crying Lightning, the new album doesn't have the same hooks. Crying Lightning has been on the airwaves for about a month now and for that to be the best song of the album is a massive shame. Not that there aren?t other highlights. Secret Door and Cornerstone...

Review of Humbug [Digipak] - Arctic Monkeys

Fake tales of the arctics at the apollo

Advantages: Tune after tune played flawlessly
Disadvantages: None

...Every track on this dvd is performed with the ease of true professionals, you know when you have a good band on your hands when the live performance is spot on with the radio and cd versions. The intro uses a 70s style tv sequence to bring the band ontp stage, which is quite cool and there they are no messing about, straight to it with 'Brianstorm' to get the crowd up for it. This is then followed by 'This House is a Circus' and 'Teddy Picker' before they throw the classic 'I Bet you look good on the dancefloor' out there. Two major hits in the first four songs seems a weird way to start the show but anyone who goes to an arctics concert knows that there two albums are littered with anthems, so it really doesnt matter what the set list is. BIt gutted they didnt perform Riot Van or Temptation but i suppose they cant stay on there...

MotorStorm: Arctic Edge - Quality Racing Action

Advantages: Fantastic Concept, Good Longitivity, Doesn't Get Boring
Disadvantages: A bit repetitive?

...game, but nothing took my fancy until MotorStorm. What is MotorStorm About? For the people who have played MotorStorm on PS3, its basically that but on the PlayStation Portable, it offers pretty much the important parts of MotorStorm, but cut out some extra bits which aren?t all that important. But for anyone who doesn?t know anything about the game, it is a racing game, but it offers that little bit more, rather than simply racing a rally car or a formula one car, you are placed in one of a selection of vehicles such as a 4 by 4, a massive truck or a beaten down Rally Car to mention a few and race each other over various tracks designed to be multi choice and directional, basically almost being the sort of game that say, do whatever you can and go wherever you want, just finish the game. MotorStorm: Arctic Edge Motor...

Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme

Advantages: Excellent Heat Dispersal, Very Quiet, Ability to attach northbridge heatsink for better cooling
Disadvantages: Very Big, Awkward to Fit

...In my Custom built PC i use a AMD 6400+ with Windows Vista ultimate X64, I tend to run Video Convertions on my computer for home videos but noticed with the stock cooler that my processor was hitting 77 Degrees C and Idling at 48 C. So i began looking for a better Heatsink and fan that was both quiet and efficient. After sifting through lots of different Coolers i came across the Arctic Freezer Xtreme, which the details of the Product on air-flow etc showed it would be very good at the job at hand. the details are... ? Cooling performance ? 160 Watts ? Unique twin tower 102-fin heat sink design ? Effective heat dissipation via 4 double-sided heatpipes ? 1 ultra quiet 120mm PWM fan ? Patented fan holder eliminates the buzzing sounds ? Voltage regulators and north bridge cooling ? Pre-applied MX-2 When i fitted...

Pretend to be a polar bear - Nintendo DS game - Arctic Tale

Advantages: Has some educational value
Disadvantages: Poorly executed, no save game, doesn't use DS's features

...This review is for the Nintendo DS game, Arctic Tale, developed by Atomic Planet Entertainment and published by Destination Software. The game aims to be educational and you control three different animals as they explore their environment. In the game, you are able to control a choice of animals and help them to survive in their environment. The animals are the polar bear, walrus and fox, each with their own requirements, although you start first of all with the polar bear. When you start in the game, you have to take your polar bear exploring and start in the hunt for food. This isn?t really very interesting, although is a good idea in principle, as there isn?t really much to see. Things get a little more interesting as you progress, and a series of mini games becomes available. This game is based on the National Geographic...

Arctic Roll!

Advantages: Another cracking read
Disadvantages: Not as good as the first book

...investigating the second as it is worth investing the time to read. And it?s still a lot slicker than a lot of the tosh on the bookshelves currently. And again there is a coded text written at the bottom of each page in fairy pictograms. If you found this helpful I have posted reviews of the other books in the series - Artemis Fowl (the original novel) and The Eternity Code (the third and most recent book) Go on?take a look?you know you want to.

Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

Advantages: An awesome follow-up album
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

...The Arctic Monkeys?the phenomenon that is. When they released ?Whatever People Say I Am, That?s What I?m Not?, the music world took to them like a duck to water, breaking all sorts of records for debut selling albums etc. etc?now comes, of course, the difficult second album. ?Favourite Worst Nightmare? was released in April this year on Domino Records, and the whole world were waiting on it? The first sounds we heard from it was a month earlier with the release of the single ?Brianstorm? that was first debuted on Zane Lowe?s Radio 1 show?I was listening at the time at he ?bigged? it up as if it was the saviour of world hunger and global warming. Was he right? Well, from a musical point of view, he couldn?t have been far off. A 3-minute piece of music, face-paced, clever lyrics, just how rock music should be. It was certainly...

Review of Favourite Worst Nightmare - Arctic Monkeys

Sheffield Steelers On An Arctic Roll

Advantages: Everyday tales of pub/club/cub culture we can all relate to.
Disadvantages: We had heard most of the tracks already on the net!

...Anthemic indie tricksters The Arctic Monkeys, a cheeky bunch of Yorkshire lads, seem to 'ape' Mike Skinner as much as they do Hard-Fi, with their brand of Sheffield steel. How ironic for a city forged in a furnace of industrial heritage that the Arctics, who claim to be technophobes, owe so much to the 'burning' of files on the internet. If Pete Doherty is the Byron of the music industry, this band is part Alan Bennett, kitchen sink drama and part Pam Ayres - telling it how it is with tongues still in their cheeks. So was 'You Look Good on the Dance Floor' - an honest-engine bona-fida naughty Northern nattering - a fluke on an album solely based on a couple of singles, or, as many dewy-eyed critics suggest, are they are the new Streets/Smiths/Verve/Wedding Present? Indeed whatever happened to Menswear - the last band to...

Arctic Cooling Silent 4 Ultra - Fancy silence??

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: none

...If you are looking for an ultra quiet, stable and very efficient processor cooling system that's the one for you. Installation At first have to admit that I have good computers knowledge but it was first time ever in my life to install cooler. Thus instruction was extremely helpful for me. Everything in there has been clearly marked and shown. When switched on computer, did not want to work. Forgot to connect it  Newer mind. Silly mistake but when have done it and started my computer up was not sure if it is working. Simply could not hear anything. When checked - was on and doing great job. I was impressed. Silence Arctic Ultra Silent fan is moving on high quality Ceramic bearing. Trust me or not, had many computers in my life and in my hands but this cooler is seriously well made and designed. Thanks that...
