bond

Advantages: bond
Disadvantages: na/

...Wii quantum of solace I love the Wii and think that it is a great invention, with bond being back in the latest episode this was a game that had appeal, what made it more appealing is that my dad had James bond Golden eye on the playstation, which I enjoyed playing, so this is a game I thought was worth getting especially as it had been released on the Wii. The Quantum of Solace on Wii also incorporating Casino Royale and with a exciting single player mode that has you using the Wii remote as a gun to shoot your way through various levels, as you play Bond and you need all your skills and gadgets that bond would have to face the enemies. Along with all your favourite character and voices, along with scenes from the film. Multiplayer is a essential part of any bond game and this is no exception, you have the choice to have...

Azure Bonds

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...Azure Bonds: Azure Bonds is a fantasy novel set in the ?Forgotten Realms? which is a setting for the table-top RPG, ?Dungeons and Dragons?. For more information on Dungeons and Dragons or Forgotten Realms try Wikipedia as they have some really awesome pages there with as much information as you could ever need! Azure Bonds begins with the novels main character, (a mercenary called Alias), coming to in an Inne. Alias has no memory of recent events, (although she remembers events from her more distant past), and has a strange tattoo on her arm. Alias decides that her fellow adventurers must have played a drunken prank on her and left her in the Inne to sober up. Alias soon discovers that she was found unconscious outside the Inne and begins her quest to discover what happened. Before long, Alias is joined by three other adventurers...

Pubescant Bond

Advantages: This covers the untold and grey areas of Bond's life.
Disadvantages: Not as explicit as Flemings novels

...In the same way that JK Rowling rejuvenated reading and made reading full length novels cool again, Fast Show creator Charlie Higson has done the same thing with James Bond. Although a sensible thing to do, Rowling took a character and deliberately made him a child allowing for growth and experience to kick in along the journey of the story in the books, the difference between Harry Potter and James Bond is that we don't actually know what Potter's destiny will actually be until the last story. With Bond it is different, we know that he will become an Agent of the Secret Service and from the novels of Ian Fleming will have some idea on his attitude to life as well the obligatory views towards the opposite sex. In Silverfin, Charlie Higson has taken away all the well known characteristics that we associate with Bond and left a blank...

The Names Bond Museum Keswick

Advantages: Interesting if you like James Bond
Disadvantages: If you don't like Bond its not for you

...I visited the museum in June this year whilst having a short break in the Lakes with my other half. Unfortunately it rained most of the time (but hey I expect that now when I visit the Lakes!) so on one rainy day we drove up from Windermere to visit the Bond Museum in Keswick. I must admit we did this originally because we thought it would pass a few hours and most importantly keep us dry! I thought it would be a bit boring to be honest, but couldn?t come up with another plan so my other half won. I can however report that I was pleasantly surprised and, shock horror, actually enjoyed the experience! A Bit of Museum Background The James Bond Museum is a relatively new attraction in Keswick, opening in April 2009. The collection at the museum has been put together by James Bond fanatic, Peter Nelson...

Review of The Bond Museum, Keswick

Bond, James Bond,

Advantages: Great story, Graphics
Disadvantages: Gameplay a little boring at times

... Bond, James Bond Ever fancied yourself as the next 007? If yes this is a must buy for you. Storyline The story follows quite close to the actual film, but as if you were skipping the bits in the middle, as it fast forwards quite a lot. You play as bond (Of cause) and you must stop a man of evil from completing his evil deeds (you know the general Bond type game). Gameplay Gameplay is good, with most of the game being played as 1st person switching to 3rd for things like hiding against walls whilst being shot at, so don't expect any camera angles from inside walls. The puzzles for things like hacking doors and uploading viruses are far too easy, the door hacking is a button sequence type mini-game (yawn). Graphics The graphics are decent, with everything looking and feeling right...

Bond is back

Advantages: Graphics, Multiplayer, Challenging, Follows Movie
Disadvantages: Wii Zapper buttons

...Item Description There was no Casino Royale, but Quantum of Solace combines the past 2 films to make this largely awaited Bond game.

PREMIUM BONDS - Updated

Advantages: Something for everyone no matter how small
Disadvantages: Perhaps not exciting these days

...Premium Bonds have had a varied reputation. Born against considerable political opposition, they have now been around for fifty years. In some eyes they are considered ?naff? ? something that used to be given to the kids for christening presents, but which are now ?old hat?, boring, expensive. However they are one of the secret weapons of the successful entrepreneur. Premium Bonds are a government backed security and as such your initial investment is safe. The prizes are tax free. If you read the serious financial papers or talk to a personal investment advisor in these days of very low interest and inflation rates generally, many will suggest a holding of Premium Bonds as a hedge in an all-round balanced portfolio. Although the nominal interest rate may be low, it is still quite competitive compared with the average Building Society...

*UPDATED* The name's Bond...

Advantages: Good graphics. It's Bond.
Disadvantages: Doesn't match up to other big games

...familiar to anyone who's played Call of Duty 4, much of the movement, graphic design/icons, etc. are pretty similar to those used in COD4 but with some differences. For example, QoS has a "cover" system, similar to Gears of War, where Bond can hide behind objects and blind-fire from behind them. Each type of object offers different levels of protection, ie. a solid wall much more than a fragile wooden crate. The gameplay has more of a stealth aspect and less of an all-out war feel to it than Call of Duty 4, as you'd expect for a Bond licence. I don't want to give away the story, so I'll just say that each level of the game centres around a major scene in the film. There are xbox 360 achievements for completing levels and various other tasks along the way. Multi-player The multi-player mode is really similar to COD4, in a lot of ways it...

Junior James Bond, brilliant!

Advantages: Wonderful writing
Disadvantages: None

...My son, who?s in his last year of junior school, first started reading Silverfin at school, he was enjoying the book so much that he wanted to jump ahead of his classmates, so I bought him the book. I don?t normally taking reading suggestions from an 11 year old, but he raved so much about it, I thought I?d give it a try after he finished it, and I?m so glad I did. Firstly for a kid?s book it?s really quite substantial, it?s slightly larger than your average paperback, and has 327 pages, so it?s longer than the last couple of adult books that I?ve read. Onto the story, the book follows James Bond (yes, the James Bond but much younger) as a schoolboy. Beginning with his first days at Eton, the start of the book covers how he copes with the rigours of the school, and the public school style bullying. However, before we even reach Eton...

The Name's Bond...Premium Bond

Advantages: Risk free lottery
Disadvantages: Return relies on having "average luck"

..."There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford it, and when he can" - Mark Twain. Premium Bonds are a curious affair; part investment and part gamble, they are an almost-lottery run through National Savings and Investments, and backed by the government itself. I had until recently paid scant attention to them, until a chance conversation with my mother revealed that I had in fact owned a set of Premium Bonds since my 1st birthday, when my parents decided that some money given as a gift by my grandparents would be better placed into the bonds than into the savings account that they had opened for me. Having suddenly discovered this new dimension to my investment portfolio, I headed off to find out more about them. The Premium Bond scheme was started back in 1956, it turned out, when...
