Shaun White Snowboarding (Wii)

Advantages: Makes great use of Wii Balance board; performing tricks is great fun; keeps you fit!
Disadvantages: No onlne play; maybe a bit repetitive..

...Shaun White Snowboarding. I bought this game from www.play.com in January 2009 for £17.99 (the price has gone up somewhat now, to £35, which is maybe a testament to the game) and have loved every minute I have played on it. The game makes great use of the Wii balance board, but if you don't own one of these you can still play just as well using solely the Wii remote. The concept of the game is to ride down snow slopes of various different countries, passing challenges and unlocking new slopes and characters. Some challenges involve collecting tokens whilst powering down the slopes, some involve reaching the bottom of the slope as fast as possible, whilst others involve scoring as many points by performing tricks and grinds etc. There is also a multiplayer option where you can ride side by side with another person in...

Review of Shaun White Snowboarding (Wii)

snowboard from the comfort of your own living room

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: easy

...I have always been a fan of snowboarding games; there?s something about carving your way through a down-hill course that appeals to me a lot more than a driving game. Up until now, these games have been operated purely through the keyboard on a PC, but the latest developments in technology have seen Shaun White?s snowboarding come to the market. This snowboarding game uses the Wii Balance Board to simulate the snowboard. You position the snowboard length ways, and turn by leaning left and right on the board. Leaning forward speeds you up, whereas leaning back will slow you down. To jump, you bend your knees and straighten your legs at the right point. The concept of the game is that you are travelling around the world, completing a range of challenges with Shaun White. The graphics for the storyline, menus etc are very cartoon...

BURTONS

Advantages: Large range of cheap smart clothes
Disadvantages: none

...Burtons is just the sort of place I always seem to end up in when I go shopping. Its not that I really buy that much stuff there (I'm a bit scruffy most of the time), but just being there is something you have to do. The shop has a very classy image when compared to others in the high street. They sell some real quality clothes at some very reasonable prices. If I was to be buying anything at all smart, I'd always head straight for Burtons. I bought a suit there this year, and the staff were very helpful. After just a second of looking through their stock, a woman approached me to see if she could help. I obviously did need a bit of help because I hadn't needed a nice suit before. She took all the necessary measurements and I was actually out of the shop again fairly quickly. I also bought some shirts, ties and a pair...

Snowboarding in the comfort of your own home

Advantages: Great gaming fun!
Disadvantages: Can be frustrating

...I got this game as it was compatiable with the wii board and wanted to get more use out of the board than just the wii fit. This Shaun White: Snowboarding: Road Trip game is a game where you go travel around different locations and snowboard. You get set certain missions for each destination and when you pass you move onto a different location. There are a number of missions per location and each stage has a number of missions to complete. The missions vary depending on the stage and of course get harder as the game goes on. Missions include: scoring a certain amount of points doing tricks, winning the race, time trials and collecting items. Once you have gone through all the locations and completed all the missions a new set of missions are unlocked. These ones are very hard and you deinfately must push yourself in order to even come...

Burton - Fantastic!

Advantages: Stores bright & good layout, friendly staff, wide choice
Disadvantages: Sometimes it's worth waiting for the sales!

...::::INTRODUCTION:::: Burton is part of the Arcadia Retail group, which has many fashion retailers such as TopMan and the rest are women's like TopShop, Dorethy Perkins, Wallis, Evans and Miss Selfridge. The first store was opened in 1903 by Montague Burton, after borrowing £100 from a relitave to open the cross-tailoring company in Chesterfield. His aim was "Good clothes for a mans self-respect". This continues today with modern and stylish clothing with usually a dedicated suit area in the store and a good selection of footwear and accessories. ::::HISTORY:::: At the start of World War 1 Burton changed to start producing Armed Forces uniforms' instead of suits. These unfiroms made by Burton clothed nearly a quarter of all service men and women during The Great War. Mr Burton recieved a Knight-hood in 1931 for his efforts in...

Burtons Clothes Store

Advantages: Good selections
Disadvantages: Not well laid out in shop

...Since fashion became something to be more conscious about for me, (few years ago) I thought it would be a good idea to make sure I knew what the different Men’s stores around my local area were like. Burtons is quite an established store, for men only, (although my mum does go in when she's looking for my Christmas presents etc) and does offer quite a good range in the latest fashions. It has a good selection of Jeans, both its own brand, and other brands like Wrangler. The casual wear continues with T-shirts and jumpers, all quite suitable for the young men of today to wear out on the streets. Burtons also has a good selection of clothes for going out in. The selection of shirts is good, quite a wide range from the near-Hawaiian shirts for the summer, to the long sleeved cotton shirts. The smart trousers aren't of the best...

snowboarding kids

Advantages: next big thing if you cant go on holiday
Disadvantages: n/a

...If you cant get to go snowboarding this is the next best thing. firstly you will start of on the beginners level of difficulty and work your way up through the ranks, it will take up alot of time and patience and if you have it you will love it. there is a fair amount of characters to chose from with each character being different from different speed, tricks and control stats. You'll get to view the vineyards during a day in France, glide down the slopes of Japan and China at night, and dodge double-decker buses in London and cable cars in San Francisco. You'll get to see castles, temple gates, flag banners, and other nifty surroundings Should you feel the need to show off your skills, you'll be able to perform a wide variety of tricks and stunts using different combinations of the shoulder and directional pad buttons. Not...

Go for a Burton

Advantages: Good Range, Good Quality, Good Prices
Disadvantages: None

...A great shop for men. Great value, great quality, good range, friendly staff. That just about sums up my opinion of the Burtons Mensware shops in the UK. Now I've got to try and pad this thing out to make 90 words. Joking aside I have honestly given my opinion in the first sentence, but what leads me to this conclusion? I have shopped at Burtons both man and boy and have always been very pleased with their products. On the rare ocassion I have had to return anything the staff have bent over backwards to help and replaced or refunded without question. I have always found what I have been looking for and paid a reasonable price. Sale time is always good too and there are some excellent bargains to be found. I have also used their hire facility to hire out dinner suits and found this service to also be excellent in both cost...

Fun Little Cartoon Snowboarding Game

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...When I saw this game in my local games shop I wasn't impressed by its outward appearance, however the price was right and they didn't have anything else appealing so I bought it and was pleasantly surprised. The basic premise behind the game is that you race on your snowboard through 8 different courses at first(bonus courses awarded when these are completed) doing tricks along the way to win money in order to buy more boards. There are 6 characters to chose from who all look rather cute until they are on their board and armed with weapons such as bombs in order to nobble the competition. There are choices of boards as well which have different attributes such as greater speed and more manouverability which can be chosen to suit course you will race on. Snowboard kids can either be played in single or multiplayer modes(upto four...

Don't Go For a Burton

Advantages: A decent enough idea
Disadvantages: Not well written

...It's not a rare thing for famous people from other professions to try their hand at writing; autobiographies abound from even the youngest of celebrities these days, it seems. What is slightly rarer is for them to produce works of fiction; Pamela Anderson and Katie Price have both tried this recently, although it is suspected that their works of "fiction" were based on their own lives. Madonna turned her hand to children's books, with some success. Many years before this, however, LeVar Burton turned his hand to science fiction. As the man who played Lt Geordi LaForge on "Star Trek: The Next Generation", this isn't perhaps as great a leap as it could have been. However, he has not just taken the idea of the show that made his name, but instead gone off in a new direction. In the fairly near future, the United States has...
