Monopoly card game Vs Travel Monopoly board game

Advantages: traveller friendly
Disadvantages: doesnt live up to the monopoly board game version

...The monopoly card game is ideal if you are on the move all the time. It saves yourself from lugging a massive monopoly board game on the train, on the bus or on your snazzling bmx vertigo. The monopoly card game is, i have to say very cheap (just under 5 pounds).Its light, and well, quite similar to the monopoly board game in terms of general principles (having to collect the right cards). Its quite a clean game (instead of having lots of bits and pieces that could potentially drop all over the floor when you're in transit). However... i've just bought myself a uk version, travel monopoly, its the size of a gameboy sp. very compact and very cute. the price is only marginally a bit more than the card set. the pieces click on the board. personally i think it it is a lot better than the card game. Its exactly the same as the standard...

RedCard (PS2)

Advantages: Hilarious fouls on players, crippling the ref, graphics, the whole game.
Disadvantages: None

...[Review can now be found at www.ps2-central.co.uk] Want the really funny side to football? Then look no further than RedCard. RedCard is the only next generation football game to deliver authentic and graphically detailed action with an adrenaline-style twist. In this game, you will find 50 International teams to fight with for the Cup Championship. All the known countries appear such as Brazil, England, France, Italy, Portugal, Greece and many more with licensed players, FIFPRO license and real stadiums such as Saitama, Daegu and Yokohama. International Pagentry meaning that there is everything that you would expect to come out of a live event and much more. What brings this game in a class of its own is the absolute hilarious over-the-top action that allows players to kick, slide-tackle and score in a larger than life way...

Nectar Card

Advantages: Lots of retailers to collect with
Disadvantages: Online points may not equal amount of cashback available elsewhere

...The nectar card is the loyalty card associated with Sainsbury's, however it has since branched out and is affiliated with many companies which allows for maximum point collecting! Let's start with the basics, you get 2 points per pound spent at Sainsburys or 1 point per litre of petrol bought at the Sainsbury's petrol garage. Each point accumulated is worth half a penny, so you need 2 points to equal 1 pence. If you redeem your points in store at Sainbury's then you will need minimum 500 points for £2.50 off o your shopping. Points need to be redeemed in increments of 500. Points can also be collected in other stores, for example Dolland and Aitchinson also give 2 points per pound, as do Homebase. As far as I am aware however, you cannot redeem your points against your total bills in these stores. Points can also be collected...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

New take on a familiar game.

Advantages: Portable, clear and familiar design.
Disadvantages: Don't expect a simple copy of the original game

...I'll have to confess, I was a bit dubious about this one at first. All I could think about was how they were going to translate the game system of monopoly into a card based format. I'm pleased to report though that the game is very good, precisely because they avoided trying to do just that. Rather than trying to port the mechanics of the game to a new format, they've worked at remaining loyal to two things, (1) the visual look of the game and (2) the aim of the game. The idea is still to collect matching properties, build hotels and such, all the while making as much money as possible, but rather than the running round the board technique, they've come up with a system not to far from the gin-rummy card game. The card represent properties, stations, utilities and pieces, and you try to gather a winning 'hand' from...

Official Gamecube Memory Card..

Advantages: Official, Guaranteed to work with all games
Disadvantages: Rather expensive price tag compared to cheaper memory cards

...My only memory card which still works. Having had many Venom memory cards and various other third party memory cards, whcih get both corrupted and easily snapped, my official nintendo memory card that I have had for 4 years has had no problems at all, despite being extremely light in weight. My official memory card has been used to save many different games, totalling over 50 different gamecube titles including imports. The official memory card has had no compatiability issues with any of my games. It has withstood time and force of being hit occasionally, as is usual for official nintendo products, it is extremely robust. Also attractive and small in size, especially compared to other more vulgar looking memory cards, it is hard to criticize it. Its price of £13 brand new may lead potential buyers to purchase cheaper, third party...

What's In Your Hand?

Advantages: A quick and innovative variation on the game
Disadvantages: Takes a bit longer to learn than you'd think

.... Tournaments are held across the globe and in 2004 the Monopoly World Championships were held in Tokyo, Japan in October and won by 36-year-old Antonio Zafra Fernandez - the prize was the princely sum of $15'140, the total sum of money included in the classic Monopoly game (US version). Just last night I was playing the Stock Exchange version of Monopoly with family and, when we eventually drew the game to a close at one in the morning, I was declared the winner with a total value (comprising, cash, corporate shares and directorships) of £1.6billion, beating my nearest rival by £1.5billion. Yes, I said billion. But in my Christmas stocking this year Santa had left something a little different - the Monopoly Card Game. It's Poker-meets-Monopoly. The pack proudly boasts "Ten Minutes to learn and an average playing time of Twenty Minutes." I...

Oyster Card

Advantages: Convenient
Disadvantages: You could lose it!

...We Londoners are insistent people. We want cheap travel to anywhere in one of the biggest cities in the world. We want it regularly, without delays and seven days a week?if possible. Not too much to ask then?oh and we want a convenient travel card rather than paying with cash for each individual journey. Of course. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the Oyster card then. For those who don?t live in London or perhaps have never even stepped foot in the capital, the following paragraphs may read like absolute gobbledegook, but trust me, I think I know what I?m talking about and I think it makes sense. The Oyster card is basically a form of electronic ticketing used on public transport ? buses, some National Rail trains, trams, underground and the Docklands Light Railway system within Greater London. The blue card, which costs just a £3...

Make a Bee Line for the Nectar Card !!

Advantages: A good way to save for the extras at no extra cost
Disadvantages: None at all.

...THE PURPLE CARD IN MY PURSE THE NECTARCARD I have owned a Nectar card for many years now - in fact my card is the old design and I keep forgetting to upgrade it!! "WHAT IS A NECTAR CARD ??" The Nectar card is a Loyalty or Reward card. It is NOT a credit or debit card and is free to join. Nectar is owned by Groupe Aeroplan Inc., and it is estimated that more than 50 per cent of UK households collect Nectar points when shopping for groceries, booking a holiday, paying household bills, buying petrol and even eating and earn Nectar points every time they shop online via Nectar eStores at over 220 leading online retailers. The scheme was started in September 2002. It is not actually a Sainsbury's Loyalty Card as the Tesco Clubcard is for Tesco, although Sainsburys and BP are the key members in the scheme...

GAME

Advantages: great games
Disadvantages: n/a

...is also great as it allows you to trade you games and consoles in to get some cash for them. Which in turn they also sell so you can a game for a fraction of the normal retail price and game check the game to make sure it works before they sell it on so it comes with a guarantee. This is great especially as if you have completed a game you can exchange it and get a new game with the money you make. The prices of the goods they sell are reasonable, but you need to look around for the best offers is always worth while. If your local store does not have it there is always the website that offers free delivery, so if you cannot get it in store you should be able to get it online. Game also has a reward card where you pay £3 and then you collect points on everything you buy and then in turn you get vouchers to put against a purchase...
