CITY-TRIPPING (Starfishing - Nicola Monaghan)

Advantages: fun story, believable voice, great ending
Disadvantages: silly and unnecessary "secret"

...Frankie Cavanagh lands her dream job of a trader on the open-outcry exchange of LIFFE, the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange. The year is 1997, LIFFE is under danger from an electronic trading system, but as for now the mayhem of the trading pit is still the ever-exciting reality for Frankie and her (overwhelmingly male) co-workers and friends. Frankie works hard and plays hard and the continuous juxtaposition of the adrenaline-fuelled dance of the trading floor and the drug-fuelled dance on the real dance-floors of the clubs; the come-down at the end of trading and the come-down from the pill high; all punctuated by the FTSE100 values, generates the main pulsating rhythm of Monaghan's novel. With the new job, Frankie falls in lust with her married American boss Tom, and soon embarks on an affair with him...

Review of Starfishing - Nicola Monaghan

Not really Domination!

Advantages: some good songs
Disadvantages: a fair amount of bad ones

...Pussycat Dolls - Doll Domination The Pussycat Dolls are an American band with 5 members called Kimberly, Melody, Nicole, Ashley and Jessica. The front of the case has the girl on motor bikes and on the back they are sprawled over a pole. After each songs name I have given the length of time the song lasts in minutes. I am going to rate each song individually out of 5. 1. WHEN I GROW UP (4.06) 5/5 Sounds like sirens are going off in the background. This song is very catchy and is guaranteed to get you up and dancing with its great beat. It is about what the girls wished to be when they grew up. It has a very computerised sound to it but I think it is one of the better songs on the album. It was the reason why I bought the album. You will find yourself singing along to the chorus 'When I grow up I wana be a famous I wana be...

Review of Doll Domination - Pussycat Dolls

Dominator

Advantages: Great fun, exceptional graphics
Disadvantages: Little change since

...In the newest edition to the 'Burnout' series, Dominator features the action just as fast-paced and exciting as previous games. The game is hard-hitting with even more spectacular crashes, unfortunately 'Crash Mode' does not have a presence in this game unlike ones from the past, decreasing the playabilty after completing the World Tour, in which you must complete a number of events to unlock graphically perfect new cars. Split into 7 separate sections Classic, Factory, Tuned, Hot Rod, Super, Race Specials and Dominator are the varoius series avaliable to be unlocked. These all have unique differences, bringing variety to how you drive, depending on the car which you drive in the World Tour. An all-new mode is included in 'Maniac' here you must gain as many points as possible whilst running through circuits whilst drving as...

Review of Burnout Dominator (PS2)

Pussycat Dolls Domination

Advantages: Pop, Dance, RnB, upbeat tracks, some slow tracks, great vocals & soundtracks
Disadvantages: None

...'Doll Domination' is the second album by the US girl group Pussycat Dolls that was released in September 2008. I am not really a fan of the group but I do like some of their more popular tracks like 'I Don't Need a Man' and 'StickwitU' and they are also well known for the track 'Don't Cha' and now 'When I Grow Up' from their latest album 'Doll Domination'. 'Doll Domination' has a good selection of 18 tracks which is a good number of tracks compared to most albums these days which normally average 13 tracks at the most.. The first track is 'When I Grow Up' which is one of the main singles on this album. I am not particularly keen on this track and it doesn't help that it's been played loads on my fave station, I do not like it I'm afraid but like the video - I think their choreography is always spot on and if there's one thing...

Review of Doll Domination - Pussycat Dolls

Doll Domination dominating

Advantages: A lot of tracks, very good variety of tempo and rhythms
Disadvantages: Some of it very girl power (not for men so much)

...I bought this for my girlfriend because i know she loves the Pussy Cat Dolls (PCD). They are the american Girls Aloud (sort of) after all. I never listened to their old albums, just the songs that they released as they were on the radio, and I liked some, but not all. So this was released on the 22nd September as PCD's latest offereing, named "Doll Domination". Quite a good title i thought. Anyway, lets get on with the music. 1. When I Grow Up. This is a great track to start the album off I thought. It has been released as a single and it was incredibly catchy then. When you put on the CD and this opens up, it really drags you in. Not really a song for a guy (actually, this whole cd isn't for a guy really) but I like it. 2. Bottle Pop This features Snoop Dogg. Absoluetly horri. I've not listened past 30 secs because...

Review of Doll Domination - Pussycat Dolls

Doll Domination

Advantages: Great Tracks
Disadvantages: None for me

...Doll Domination is yet another Pussycat Dolls album, released in 2008, its their second released album, their first being PCD. You can buy Doll Domination in most good music stores for around a 10er, depending on where you are buying it, and if you are a fan of their music you will really find it worth the money, as in my opinion it is much better than the PCD album. Doll Domination has some great tracks on it, especially if you are a fan of the Pussycat Dolls, it has a real fun and girly feel to it, there are some great tracks to get you in the mood for a party when you are getting ready for a night out. The track listing for this album is: 1.) When I Grow Up 2.) Bottle Pop 3.) Whatcha Think About That 4.) I Hate this Part 5.) Taken' Over the World 6.) Outta this Club 7.) Whos Gonna Love You 8.) Happliy Never...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Burnout Dominator Review by Vaza

Advantages: Super fast and fun gameplay
Disadvantages: Glitches and rubbish soundtrack

...Burnout Dominator: The Review. Feature Overview: While other Burnout games have followed the theme of "risk and reward", Dominator gives a new idea of "owning the road". This change in stategy is something that might annoy hardcore Burnout fans, with new gameplay rules like "you can't earn while you burn" (for boosting). Another new gameplay feature is in the name. The Burnout. The Burnout 1. Fill your Boost Bar. Remember that you can't do so while burning which makes it less fun. 2. The bar will turn blue. You can now start a Burnout. 3. In order to preform a Burnout, you must burn out the entire blue boost bar in one. 4. During a Burnout attempt (supercharge boosting) you will notice that arrows behind the boost bar will begin to light up. This is building up a second boost bar so that you can chain several...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Review of Panasonic DVD-S54

the burton dominant

Advantages: flexible, mellow edges, good graphics ect
Disadvantages: NONE

...soo the burton dominant .. LOOKS the graphics looks sick (REALLY REALLY GOOD) THE BOARD ITS SELF the board is well suited to all stages of rider (ie experience wise) beginner to expert. the edges are reallly mellow so begginers will not catch edges easily also the more experienced will not catch edges doing rails (which really hurts!!!) the board is also very flexible so if you land wrong doing a trick you have a better chance of staying upright. TYPES OF TERRAIN the board is more suited to park/freestyle riding and also good for powder as it is flexible. you can use it on normal runs but it is not very effective as you slide round corners rather than carve due to the mellow edges! ADVANTAGES i leant on this board and i have turned out ok so thier must be something right on this board. flexible, mellow edges, good...
