Evil Genius

Advantages: Top Quality Entertainment, Highly Watchable Time and Again
Disadvantages: Dated but that's all.

...the impressive careers of Bruce Campbell who stars as the unlikely hero Ash in all 3 of the Evil Dead films and Sam Raimi, the twisted genius behind the series. If you?ve an interest in the film or if you have seen it a million times I?d advise purchasing. The film in it?s own right is a classic and watchable over and over again but having the option of commentary from Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell is a must. Their banter alone, describing the ongoings onset as well as the torture Sam put Bruce through during the 3 month shoot, is side-splittingly funny. Remember? Queen of Spades. Four of Hearts. Eight of Spades. Two of Spades. Jack of Diamonds. Jack of Clubs!!!...

Review of The Evil Dead (Limited Edition) (DVD)

The one where James Bond doesn't win.

Advantages: Excellent gameplay, good humour, Good graphics and sound. Easy to control.
Disadvantages: Very difficult at later stages, sometimes hard to figure out what to do.

...A long time ago on a PC far, far away (well, just over there, in the corner), there was a rather excellent little game called "Dungeon Keeper". In Dungeon Keeper, you, as the titular character, created your own dungeon filled with traps and monsters and waited for the horrible do-gooders to arrive so that you could wreak havoc and chortle in a deep, throaty voice. It was filled with great little humorous touches and on the whole, didn't take itself too seriously. In "Evil Genius", you're a fledgling bad guy in the big bad world with a bit of cash at your disposal. Your ultimate aim is to become an (you've guessed it?) EVIL GENIUS! What you have to do is built your secret lair inside a mountain using basic construction minions and your cash and then send your minions out into the world to perform missions. These missions may bring loot...

Review of Evil Genius (PC)

Why save the world... when you can conquer it?

Advantages: Origional Gameplay, Great humour, Very stylised
Disadvantages: Difficulty increase near the end of the game, Occasionaly annoying AI

...getting old now I thoroughly believe it is one that can stand the test of time, it's just as playable now as it was when released and if you haven't tried it you should give it a go. Go forth...and show the world what a TRUE evil genius is....

Review of Evil Genius (PC)

The evil continues

Advantages: Best action game of the year
Disadvantages: Can't think any

...Story Chris Redfield is deployed to Africa, to join Sheva Alomar and capture Ricardo Irving, who wants to sell an extremely dangerous bio-weapon to the black market. This bio-weapon acts like a parasite, which quickly takes control of living things, turning him/it into a Majini (means evil spirit in Swahili language). From here on, almost all the locals have been turned into Majini. Chris later on finds some data that contains a picture of Jill Valentine, his old partner, who was presumed dead after a confrontation with Albert Wesker, and he believes that she is still alive. As the story progresses all the supporting team are all dead and leaving Chris and Sheeva as the sole survivor, though the situation isn't good and Sheeva suggested that they ought to return to HQ for backup, Chris expresses his determination in...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (PC)

A true genius

Advantages: This works!!!
Disadvantages: the colour

...It was thanks to the nice people here on ciao that I actually got to try out this stuff, I won it as part of a Tigi gift set in the recent colurings competition. To be honest if I had not won the prize I doubt that I'd have actually gone out and bought the stuff due to it being £8.50 a bootle and its rather off putting colour - a kinda pearlescent tourquoisey green! Apart from the colour this stuff is excellent! If you love coconut you'll love the smell of this stuff as it has a very natural coconut smell to it and not a chemically smell. The creative genius comes in a large recyclable bottle giving you 200mls of the green liquid. To be fair liquid is the wrong word to use in describing it's constitancy, its more like a watery cream. The instructions for use are found on the bottle in rather small lettering! No I don't need...

Review of TIGI Creative Genius

Pure Genius

Advantages: Very funny film
Disadvantages: Nothing

...really funny to cheer me up - and this film proved to be it. Real Genius is rated 15 and runs for 102 minutes. It was originally released in 1985 By Tristar Picture Inc. This DVD was released in 2002 by Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment. It cost £7.99. This disc comes in a normal plastic DVD case with the title of the film and a picture of Val Kilmer on the front. Val is sat on an office desk, wearing a shirt and shorts with an 'I love toxic waste' tee shirt underneath. The film is about a boy called Mitch Taylor (played by Gabe Jarret). Mitch is an extremely gifted fifteen year old. He applies to go to Pacific Technical College (even though he is about five years too young.) At a Winter Science Fayre, Professor Hathaway (played by William Atherton) a teacher at the College arrives to tell Mitch he has been accepted. Upon...

Review of Real Genius (DVD)

Resident evil 1

Advantages: Story!
Disadvantages: same theme as many before it

...Introduction Resident evil is a Science fiction horror film which was made in 2002 and was based on video games Resident evil 1 and resident evil 2. Unfortunately, I am not a huge fan of computer games and I had never heard of the games until recently. And I did not see the film when it first came out...I was too young! (Bless) However, when the third one came out, I was old enough, so after seeing it at the cinema, being impressed and having someone explain the first two parts to me I rented the first two on DVD. Story The story is about a secret research company which is located about a mile underground and is owned by a firm called the ?Umbrella Corporation? the lab researches illegal things like genetics and viruses. The lab is given the name ?the Hive?. Due to the secretive nature of the research, everyone who lives in the lab...

Problem Feet?... Soap and Glory Heel Genius is here!

Advantages: Gives you soft and smooth feet, Not a bad price. Great packaging
Disadvantages: None at all!

...If you have read any of my previous reviews then you will know how much a fan I am of Soap and Glory products. The latest product from the Soap and Glory range that I am reviewing is their Heel Genius product. Having tried most of the Soap and Glory bath and shower products and being really impressed with them I already had high hopes for the Heel Cream. I was lucky enough to get brought the Heel Genius as a present off my mum. I had been complaining about how my feet had been hurting as I do a lot of walking (to and from work everyday and generally running around at work) that she was very kind and went and brought me this product. The Soap and Glory Heel Genius can be found in most Boots stores and will cost you the price of £5.00 (For boots advantage card holders that also gives you 20 points) I think this is a really good...

Review of Soap & Glory Heel Genius

Educational wildlife game for the Nintendo DS - Animal Genius

Advantages: Has some educational value
Disadvantages: A bit too basic, children are likely to grow bored quite quickly

...This review is for the game Animal Genius for the Nintendo DS and the game was developed by Big Blue Bubble and published by Ubisoft. The aim of the game is to go round five different levels and learn more about the animals in each area. The game is educational, and is based around the five main levels, rain forest, arctic, sea, grasslands and woodlands. The problem however with educational software is that it is difficult to merge both educational value and fun value. This game doesn?t really succeed in that aim either and isn?t likely to appeal to most children for very long. There is a lot of reading to be done in the game, as there is a lot of useful educational information that the game tries to impart. This is helped by the speech element of the game however, as a lot of the information is actually read out, which does make it...

Review of Animal Genius (Nintendo DS)

If evil lives?

Advantages: Great special effects, interesting scene, suspense
Disadvantages: A bit gory

...want to. If you are particularly uncomfortable with horror-type, bloody or gory scenes, you are better off not watching this one. I think the classification otherwise is quite fair, after all, the film is based on a video game (I have not seen or tried this so cannot comment). Conclusion I thoroughly enjoyed this film, but I understood as well why some people might not. I tried to get my mum to watch it but she eventually freaked out & left, in spite of my insistence that it really is not that scary - I guess I was wrong there! Admittedly, a lot of the entertainment factor in this film are the suspense, scary bits, but it is also quite an interesting story, with some good twists & unusual characters. The 'amnesia' thing added a bit of mystery to the film. I don't really think 'evil' is an appropriate word for this film, as you start to...
