Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Advantages: Great fun, realistic actions
Disadvantages: Will tire you out easily

...During the 1990s, if you had a games console you would have probably been in one of two camps: Sega or Nintendo. I certainly was rooted firmly in the Sega camp having had a Mega Drive for many, many years with games like Street of Rage, Ecco the Dolphin and of course, Sonic the Hedgehog. I was a huge Sonic fan, playing the first and second game until completion and then starting up again a few days later as I loved everything about it, the colours, the gameplay.... everything. So if you tried to convince me that some 10-15 years later that Sonic and Mario would team up in a game, I probably would have just laughed. Back then it would have been an absurd thought but one that any magazine reviewer or computer game fanboy would have only dreamed about. Well January 2008 saw this realisation with the release of Sonic & Mario...

Review of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Advantages: Great multiplayer fun, lots to do
Disadvantages: Slightly Repetetive

...The Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has been with us for a while now, and it hasn't been too badly received either amongst the Wii-mote waving, button bashing members of the public out there, so now that the DS version has finally arrived, should these same gamers still be as excited as they were the first time around? Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on the DS is certainly not short on features, 16 playable characters have all been included, each of which are split into four categories such speed, skill, power and the all rounder's, therefore you can choose which characters you would prefer to use for each event based on their ability. The game also offers plenty of choice when it comes to events, these range from sprinting, swimming and cycling to more specialist events such as fencing and gymnastics...

Now you can compete in the olympic games

Advantages: fun, variety of events
Disadvantages: muscle strain

...Having seen the advert for this game i was desperate to buy it as i have not had my wii for that long and i do not have many games. I eventually bought this game and i am so glad that i did as it is great fun. Players This game can be played as a one player or multiplayer as long as you have a wii remote for each player. Also you will need a nunchuck for each player although some of the games you can play with just the remote. Characters In this game you can play as characters from either sonic or mario such as sonic, tails, mario, princess daisy and yoshi. Each of the characters have different abilities which are split into speed, skill, power and stamina. you can choose a character who is a speed, skill, power or all around type which means that if you are playing a running game you would choose a character from the speed type...

WELL DONE DOLPHIN!!!

Advantages: Very professional and high standard of workmanship
Disadvantages: None

...I recently had my bathroom refurbished by Dolphin and was extremely impressed with the service I received, right from the initial sale through to the completion of the work. Their Customer Service staff were very professional and efficient and kept in touch with me every step of the way. The fitter was absolutely brilliant and transformed my dingy bathroom into a stunning wetroom. Nothing was too much trouble and he had to accommodate my work schedule, which he did without any complaints. His attention to detail was first class. I know its fashionable these days only to comment on negative experiences but I merely wanted to offset that with some positive feedback. I am airline cabin crew so understand just how difficult and demanding the general public can be. Well done Dolphin and I would not hesitate to recommend you to any of my...

Review of Dolphin Bathrooms

Dolphin Friendly

Advantages: Professionalism of Company
Disadvantages: Length of time to fit

...I must admit at first when my wife wanted a new bathroom I did not think it would cost as much and take as long as it did but when you watch what is happening you can see there is a lot more work than you think there would be. We looked about for different bathrooms from different companies and as we had a bad time with our kitchen when I got one of my mates to do it and although he is still my friend he will not be getting any more work from me we thought we would get the company to do the whole lot this time. Our bathroom is quite small and the four walls were tiled completely and it still had a coloured bathroom suite, which means it was very old (this was in when we moved in 3 years ago). So we saw on television and in newspaper adds that Dolphin Bathroom were having a sale, so we decided to call them up and get a quote from...

Not Just Dolphins

Advantages: 40 missions
Disadvantages: The Graphics Could Be A Little Better

...Dolphin Island The story goes that 2 siblings are sent to an island to visit their Uncle Bob. Mila and Greg have been sent to the island to work all summer. Their Unlce Bob is the manager of an amusement park, 'Yanwai' Aquatic park to be exact. The aim of the game is to look after the animals in the Aquatic park. Feed, Heal, Care for and train all of the animals. As you complete task and gain achievements you unlock more animals in the park that you become responsible for. You can be responsible for whales, dolphins, penguins, sea turtles, sharks and many more. When starting the game it gives you a general idea of what the games about and what missions you need to do and how to do them. Throughout the game you will meet alot of different characters on the island and you will come to understand why the children have been sent...

Review of Dolphin Island (Nintendo DS)

I avoid Dolphin on "porpoise"

Advantages: One-stop shop for a complete bathroom rebuild
Disadvantages: Expensive. Watch out for the extras!

...I am breaking off from DIY to write this opinion for two reasons, one – my wife has just washed the kitchen floor, and I’m captive on the wrong side of the wet area, and two – the reason for my need to be wasting good un-metered off-peak surf-time on DIY, Dolphin Bathrooms. About 3 years ago, I succumbed to the “a proper shower would really enrich my life” pressure coming from Mrs Bnibbles. Since I prefer a good wallow, we had to compromise on a corner bath with a power shower enclosure. Not being the world’s best plumber or most enthusiastic tiler (motto – “don’t worry, it’ll look alright when it’s grouted”), we reached for the Yellow Pages. Having at least heard of Dolphin, combined with a friend rating their shower units as being very reliable, we got them...

Magical Monkey Mia Dolphin Experince

Advantages: Great relaxing resort - get to see dolphins yey
Disadvantages: camping if on a budget

...at the resort bar/restaurant. We opted for the cheaper option and had a great treat with our $10 seafood basket and chips. The Dolphins: The main attraction at Monkey Mia is its Dolphins. Every morning from 7.30am about 15 ? 20 wild Dolphins come into the bay for a free feed. The price to see the Dolphins is only $6 per person and this money goes towards Dolphin Conservation. The Dolphins swim right up to shore and are literally around your feet; it is incredible to see such magnificent creatures so close up. Of course you are not allowed to touch the Dolphins and conservation workers are on hand to ensure that they are not hurt in anyway. You are also asked to refrain from wearing any Sun Lotion in the water as this can sting the Dolphins eyes. The Conservation Workers are fixed up with speakers and give a lot of information...

Review of Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort, Denham

Look after your own dolphin - My Pet Dolphin for the DS

Advantages: Interesting, fun, educational game
Disadvantages: Can become repetitive

...Dolphin Island is a game for the Nintendo DS, where you have to look after a dolphin, teach it tricks and watch the audience's reaction. The game isn't just for children, but is likely to be of much more interest for youngsters. You can teach the dolphins new tricks by using the stylus on the DS screen, and if these tricks are impressive then the crowd watching your dolphin's performance will rate it highly. You have to give rewards to your dolphins to encourage them to keep performing the tricks, always remembering the better the show the better the audience reaction. Controlling the game generally is very easy and is all very easy to pick up. It's also nice to see the stylus used in the game, as some Nintendo DS games don't use all the features of the machine to their full. Both display screens of the DS are used, maximising...
