Do you suffer from the Human Condition?

Advantages: absorbing read
Disadvantages: none

...The Condition is the first book I have read by Jennifer Haigh but I feel sure that it will not be the last. From the very first page I found myself drawn into this magnificently compelling story and I was soon caught up in all of the characters' lives. This is a story about an ordinary family. At least they are ordinary until the day they discover that Gwen, the middle child, suffers from Turner's syndrome which means that her body will never grow up. Her parents, Frank and Paulette, and her two brothers react in different ways but life will never be the same for any of them again. Adversity pulls some families together but it tears others apart. This is the way it is for the McKotch family. The story starts in 1976 when gradually it becomes obvious that there is something wrong with thirteen year old Gwen's development. The story...

Review of The condition - Jennifer Haigh

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

Advantages: Good Single Player, Difficult, Fun Online
Disadvantages: Not Enough Online Modes, Bit Repetitive

...One of the most difficult games ever, Lost Planet Extreme Condition leads the life of a boy on a cold isolated planet filled with alien creatures called the Akrid. The game takes you on a single player adventure to find energy, destroy the Akrid and use dozens of weapons and robots. The robots are incredibly fun to use with the amazing different features available on them. The game has 11 missions to complete each with a final boss where if you loose, you have to start the whole mission again which is quite frustrating. The game was has 3 gameplay difficulties which are Easy, Medium and Hard and an unlockable Extreme which is basically impossible! The game stoked me online, With lots of downloadable maps, an amazing rank system and hardcore action this game is a chilly treat! All features on single player are contained in...

Review of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (Xbox 360)

Tip top condition!

Advantages: Great for dry hair, smells gorgeous and it lingers!
Disadvantages: none!

...Herbal Essences has been a staple haircare product of mine for some while. Although I don't always use it (because i love trying new products!) i always end up going back to it. The Intensive Conditioning Balm comes in an easy to use flip top bottle with a large lid that it can stand on, making it easy to get the contents out. very important when you have soapy slippy products all around you. Ok it's not very exciting design-wise, but at 2 or 3 pounds (depending on the offers at boots!) its an excellent buy. This is a 3 minute treatment for dry or damaged hair - perfect for me because my hair can be prone to a bit of frizz unless it's smoothed down with a nice conditioner. It smells gorgeous, like the rest of the range - a strong, but not overpowering floral scent, it contains Water Lily Vitamin E and Aloe Vera. To be honest...

Review of Clairol Herbal Essences Intensive Conditioning Balm

A deep conditioning treatment that really works!

Advantages: Leaves hair soft and smooth but doesn't make it greasy
Disadvantages: None

...Although I regularly colour my hair and also blow-dry it a lot (both of which are known to dry out your hair), it still tends to get greasy quickly. Because of this, I often use clarifying shampoos which get my hair clean but leave it feeling brittle and in bad condition. This is why I like to use a deep conditioning treatment once a week. What is it like? Andrew Collinge 1 Minute Wonder Deep Conditioning Treatment is designed for people with dry, coloured hair. It comes in an attractive lilac 200ml tube with purple and silver writing. The product squeezes out of the tube easily and has a pleasant, subtle smell - not overpowering at all. How do I use it? First you need to shampoo and rinse your hair - you could use an Andrew Collinge shampoo if you want to, but it shouldn't really make too much difference (I...

condition zero is it hot or sub zero ?

Advantages: Ability to Beta Test Counter Strike : Source
Disadvantages: Just cs with bots

...to buy the game. So they recruited the help of another games developer to create the single player version of counterstrike named Counter Strike : Condition Zero which would be created by ritual a company known for the game American Mcgee's Alice which was a flop. After a bit of development time Valve sacked them and employed gearbox who created the addon packs for half life. The game was delayed, delayed and then came out... nonono it was delayed and when half life 2 was announced it was still delayed. Then after years of production and people whining at valve it was released on 2004. So the release date came and i had been playing counter strike for 2 years and didn't even think twice at buying it since it was single player orientated. So i did the wise thing and borrow it off my friend. The first thing i noticed when i got it was...

Condition Zero : The gamers Review

Advantages: Good playable game
Disadvantages: Abit samey

...After playing counter strike the original for 2 years i got very excited when i heard the news of Counter strike : Condition Zero was coming out. I bought the game the day it came out and was originally disapointed. I found that its was rather similar to the original counter strike. The skins where the same and so where the player models. Although after a few weeks after its first released counter strike : condition zero 1.1 came out, There were some big changes in this update. The player models looked nicer, There where updated skins and models of almost every weapon. I found that the best skins where the grenades and the AK-47, i found the rest were ok although very similar to the original skins of counter strike. The worst new skin i thought was the M4-A1, this was becuase the skin did not look like it was updated as much as...

Botanics Deep Conditioning Mask

Advantages: Smells good, soft shiny hair
Disadvantages: None

...I purchased a "sample size" sachet (20ml) from Boots from the clearance shelf last week for 50p. I noticed when I went in yesterday that they are back on the normal shelf and back to full price (I didnt note what this is). Because 50p seemed like a bargain to me, I purchsed the sachet intending to try it out in comparison to my "normal" conditioning mask by Fructis (see other review). In summary, my hair is very dry at the ends and I have an oily scalp. My hair is also colour treated but I am trying to match my natural colour to avoid doing this in the future. The Botanics mask is opaque white in colour and creamy in texture, similar to a normal conditioner but slightly thicker. This mask does smell very good - according to the packet its "rosemany... ginseng, peach, apple, wheat and barley extract." It smells ALOT better than...

Review of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (PC)

Nice condition

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: none so far

...I never used to use a shampoo and conditioner, but as I have got older my skin and hair condition has changed. Gone have the days when I would stick my head under the tap to wash then towel dry my hair, going out with wet hair in the summer to leave it to dry naturally in the heat of the sun. Now I have to take more time and get the condition of my hair looking good. Not only does my job demand a well turned out appearance but it also makes you feel good if your hair is looking it's best. I swap and change my shampoo and conditioner like the weather, I'm never loyal to any brand as there is always something new and better coming onto the market to tempt you with natural vitamin or fruit content, or low price, but some things never change and there are a few tried and trusted products which I do go back to if there is nothing...

Review of Wella Vosene Light & Gentle Conditioner

An eyemakeup remover without lashings of oil

Advantages: Really gentle on the eyes, love the gel consistency, doesn't drag the skin
Disadvantages: Doesn't remove waterproof mascara, stings if you get in your eyes

...Eye makeup removers are one of the most important steps in your skincare routine as the skin around the eye is so delicate, and are a tricky one to get right in my opinion. Either they are effective and remove every last trace of makeup but are oil-based and don't feel lovely on the skin, or they are water based and just too gentle and leave half of your makeup sitting on your eye! I received the Talika Lash Conditioning Cleanser as a free sample and was interested to try it, having heard good things about the Talika range. It claims to be the first non-oily makeup remover on the market capable of removing waterproof mascaras, and the first that is dual performance, conditioning your lashes as it cleanses. It contains cornflower extract for it's softening and astringent properties, and silk proteins to condition the lashes. It...
