Get Yer Hands Off Me Joy Stick

Advantages: Huge variety of games, all for free!
Disadvantages: Slow loading images, sometimes unreliable

...You lucky people! You like to get your sweaty little paws on free stuff, don’t ya? And what’s that? Lady at the back says she likes a bit of slot activity? Don’t we all, love! Come on now, not many left, get ‘em while they’re ‘ot! Cahm on, they’re lavverly! And so on. Why the mockney patois? Because the internet is spewing forth more free stuff than a drunk billionaire at the moment. So what better time to take a look at some criminally overlooked sites? One such haven of goodness is mame.dk. And it kicks seven bells and a plum out of other free game sites. Why? Here’s why. Home game consoles are all well and good, with their immersive storylines and save points, but come with me now back to the golden days when the only game you could play on your TV was Pong. Arcade games are where it...

Review of DK Lift the Flap: Farm Animals

The time has come...

Advantages: Your child can see other children using it
Disadvantages: none

...on his head. It has been very easy for him to see just what it's there for as my bum is far too big to show him myself! He has consistently sat on it for some lengths of time since and enjoyed looking at this book whilst sitting there. We can now begin to plan for stage two of the potty training scheme - No Nappies!!! Although are waiting until after our holiday in two weeks time for that. We do change some words from 'pee-pee' to 'wee-wee', etc but that's ok as our son can't read yet at two! We would very much recommend this book to anyone embarking on the whole toilet training thing. I've not looked at the girl version of this but if it's anything like the boys one, it'll be excellent. *** OTHER INFO *** www.dk.com ISBN 0-7894-4889-0...

Review of My Potty Book for Boys - DK Publishing

  DVD Player that can play DivX .avi files and more!

Advantages: Plays DivX AVI and MPEG files, Supports lots of formats, Looks good, Karaoke,
Disadvantages: DivX 3.11, 4.02 plays slightly slanted, cheap plasticy remote, Doesn't play some NTSC encoded files

...I've wanted a DVD player that was capable of playing DivX files for a while because of all my anime and por...errr....other video files..., but the players cost more than normal DVD players so resisted for a while. I've seen brands such as KISS and Yamada but later came across this DK Digital DVD-500 DivX DVD player after the prices have dropped. It only cost £41.98 (61.52 Euros) from SVP Communications (AKA Blank Disc Shop). -= The Player =- The player looks sleek with a black and silver design. Black at the front with silver at the top and bottom curving in towards each other at the middle, which I think looks really good. The player itself looks quite durable and the tray isn't flimsy like some I've seen. The LCD display shows the numbers in green and other details such as TRK, DVD, etc in red. I think it's very easy to read...

Review of DK Digital DVD-500 DivX DVD player

"You know what DK stands for ?"

Advantages: great soundtrack, realistic drifting scenes, beautiful girls, hot cars
Disadvantages: simple story, no deep characters

..., but also the Drift Kings girlfriend Neela (Nathalie Keely). When Lucas enters the Tokyo underworld he enters a challenge with the DK ( Brian Tee)and loses out due to his lack of drifting skills. The car at this point was lent to Lucas by Han (Sung Kang), who takes him under his wings in order to pay of the damaged car. So while Lucas learns to drift from Han and gets to know Neela the DK has seeming troubles with his Yakuza uncle, who is the oyabun or 'father' of the mafia. Apparently Han has ripped off DK and when DK finds out about this a fight starts out that ends in Hans death. Lucas swears revenge on DK and enters the Oyabuns lair where he goes up for a last race against DK. If you are a fan of the Fast and the Furious series or a fan of seriously modified fast cars or the underground drifting scene in Japan this movie is...

Review of DK Readers Level 3: The Story of Anne Frank - Brenda Ralph Lewis

Hours of fun - usual DK quality

Advantages: superb graphics, easy usable interface
Disadvantages: none

...Dorling Kindersley are reknowned for producing some of the best illustrated childrens books available. This software, inspired by Stephen Biesty's 'cross-sections books continues the DK trend for superb pictures and illustrations. Stowaway is an interactive guide to an 18th century warship. The detail involved in this presentation is superb, with all the sections and levels of this vessel completely and easily navigable by a very usable interface. Childre particularly love the more gory bits like the surgeons room, and are usually delighted to find that the (highly unsanitary) toilet facilities are incuded as well! Interest is maintained (as if it were necessary) by an ongoing game where you have to find the Stowaway - a small boy - hiding away in various parts of the ship. As a game, it is fascinating in its detail...

Review of Dorling Kindersley - Stowaway

7 Deadly Strings.

Advantages: Ultimate rock guitar, beautiful, solid and incredibly playable.
Disadvantages: Specialised to rock/metal sounds, 7th string is hard to master.

...are applied to change the end sound. That should get you started. The first question you might ask is "why seven strings?". Well, on a basic six string guitar the top E string will be the lowest sound the guitar can make. Some metal players tune that string down two steps to get a D - the idea being that the lower frequency, the more evil and sinister the sound. On most seven string guitars the added string is a B, 5 steps lower than the basic E. This gives the hardened Satanist a little extra range, and allows power chords to be carried to lower tones without having to bother with any difficult stretched shapes for your fingers to learn. A note about 7 string guitars in general is needed perhaps, as I doubt many people will be buying this as their second such instrument. The DK7 has an incredibly slick action, silky playablity...

Review of Jackson/Charvel DK 7

COME INTO MY CINEMA LIVING ROOM

Advantages: Great TV
Disadvantages: quite pricey

...I got this TV last Monday, our old diddy family TV which was hundreds of years old finally got replaced and moved upstairs! Our old TV wasn't that small at all really, it was a reasonable size and worked well, it was quite old though so I think we got our new one just for a change really. ~ And a holiday treat! Our new TV probably doesen't mean much to you as a TX-28-DK3! So I will explain....... Basically this television is a Pansonic Widescreen with surround sound. (Cool huh!?) The television is available in 28 and 32" screens. We decided on the 28" (Hence the name of the TV) First of all it was a lot cheaper and secondly a 32" would have looked rather crowded in our relatively small living room. We decided on this TV through looking through the WHICH? magazine, each issue they have a BEST BUY section, this issue just had to...
