Extremely Great(Racing)-3

Advantages: Excellent visuals; fitting soundtrack; very fast sense of speed; fast and furious gameplay is fun.
Disadvantages: Quite challenging; soundtrack can be repetitive at times; a little lack of modes.

...-(Game Information)- Name:Extreme G-3 Published and developed by Acclaim Genre:Futuristic Racing Release Date:May 3, 2002 Age Rating:3+ for mild violence Number Of Players:1-4 Online:No Memory Card Usage:6 blocks -(History)- Acclaim were quite a mixed company. It had many great games, like the original Turok games, Aggressive Inline and Extreme G-3, yet they had some less than stellar games. They had a track record for not doing so well on licensed games like South Park on the original Playstation. In 2004, Acclaim filed for bankruptcy. First released on the N64, the Extreme Racing series has been one of Acclaims main brands, competing well with Sony's famous Wipeout series. The first was a success, the second was disappointing, the third was another success and the fourth (and final) one was pretty average. -(The...

Review of XG3: Extreme G Racing (GameCube)

Broomsticks - Not the 13ft 3lbs Fox Extreme rods

Advantages: very strong yet light with good feel
Disadvantages: Can be a handful in tight swims

...I always considered 3lb TC carp rods to be too heavy duty for 'normal' carp fishing situations. Sure they could bang out a large method feeder 90 odd yards but surely the feeling would be lost when playing the fish? I originally stumbled across a pair of the Fox Extreme rods whilst looking for a pair of rods for an up and coming trip to France. I went to a local dealer to ask for something heavy duty that wasn't a fortune. The intention was to use these rods purely for my trips abroad and nothing else. I was showed the Extremes and was instantly amazed at how slim and light they were. They also felt very well balanced. In addition they were a nice matt grey finish and looked quite stylish - I thought how good they would look on my pod. The dealer offered me the pair for £150 since he had vast numbers that were not shifting...

Extreme Repairs

Advantages: smells nice, works
Disadvantages: pricey

...Interbond Conditioning System gives a unique 3D Repair Complex of proteins, ceramides and liquids to help give strength, cuticle reinforcement and protective resurfacing. It aims to make the hair look healthy again, shiny and manageable. This is a lot of promises which I did hope that my shampoo would aim to do but it was a matter of putting it to the test. Before using the shampoo I had been using the Redken fuel treatments in the Extreme range which are small tubes you break open and leave in your hair for up to 10 minutes to let it take effect and they did leave my hair more manageable. The shampoo is quite a thick one which is different from most I have used it has a thicker consistency and smells just like a salon with that lightly fruity scent to it which I love as it reminds me of being at the hairdresser. If you lift up the lid...

Review of Redken Extreme Shampoo

Extremely Useful

Advantages: Good Value
Disadvantages: Nothing so far

...This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. It incorporates most of the latest features and technology that is currently available on the market. Unfortunately it contributes significantly to global warming. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. Specifications: Storage Capacity: 4 GB Read Speed: 133x (20MB Per Sec) Write Speed: 133x (20MB Per Sec) Dimensions: 36.4mm x 42.8mm x 3.3mm At present the price for this Sandisk can vary quite a lot on line from anywhere between £30 and £60 so it is advised to...

Review of Sandisk Extreme III Compact Flash CF 4GB 4096 MB

EXTREME SPEED!!

Advantages: See review.
Disadvantages: -

...out for the memory card to load the image if you are shooting raw but now with this card that is gone. The camera i used yesterday for my second shoot has a combined recycle time with its flash gun of 1/3000th of a second and this card could actually keep with it. The raw file image was ready instantly so I could take continuous shots at 3 frames per second for a minute at a time if I needed to without any lag from the memory card. I have used Sandisk cards in the past but can honestly say they were not much better than cheaper cards so there was no real reason to spend the extra. The card that I was using yesterday was only a 1Gb and I would normally use around a 4GB but size was not important yesterday speed was and I was not let down. The SANDISK EXTREME III SD 1GB can be bought for as little as £6.09 from Amazon.co.uk and even...

PS3 slim

Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation
Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live

...Well, had the slim for a few weeks now (my 1st ever playstation), personally, I'm a little underwhelmed by it, I've been a gamer since the nintendo game & watch days & owned @ least 1 of the current gen consoles since the Mega Drive(Genesis). Graphically the system has the potential to wipe the floor with the 360, but this is really only going to apply to PS3 exclusives as any software house making a multi-platform game is going to be as cost effective (lazy) as possible & use the same graphics on all the games where possible(ok, they need to dumb them down for the Wii). My problem here is that I have yet to get a game for it that runs in 1080P, they all seem to be in 720P! Why???? I'm sure they are out there, but I haven't found one yet. I guess this is down to most HD tv's being HD ready rather than Full HD. Sound-Yeah, ok...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (PS3)

Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D

Advantages: Comfortable to use, sturdy, and offering a good range of controls
Disadvantages: none

...I have been looking to replace my joystick, ever since my Thrustmaster F16 replica finally bit the dust. I wanted to get a quality controller, but I couldn't afford to stretch my budget to accomodate force feedback. It was after a little investigating that I stumbled upon Logitech's excellent Wingman Extreme Digital 3D. >Overview and Value for money< --------------------------------------- The Wingman Extreme Digital 3D is no doubt Logitech's mainstream joystick. It offers a good balance of functionality/comfort at a reasonable price. The joystick does not have force feedback, which adds a sense of vibrational realism to your games - but at this price it is to be expected. As far as I remember the joystick typically retails around £25. I feel that this is a very reasonable price, given the quality of this controller... >First...

Playstation 3

Advantages: Cheap Blu-Ray player, great graphics, free wifi, internet browser
Disadvantages: Expensive, some games are better on 360, 40 GB model doesn't have backwards compatability

...There are probably 3 categories of consumer: (1) Gamers with a HD TV who are also quite interested in the multimedia/blue ray angle. (2) Serious gamers either without a HD TV or who are not interested in high def for films etc.. (3) HD TV/ multimedia people who are not that interested in games. If you are in (1) or (3) categories then this is a bargain at the moment. One of the cheapest/best blue ray players with constant support. Now upscales dvds and supports divx etc.. Supports the very latest version of blu ray and is future proof. Sony can not afford to have this fail and the constant updates are great and frequent. Also of advantage (over other systems) are: Low failure rate, built in wifi (even on 40 gb model), no external plug, no external hd-dvd (blu ray built in), no annual online fees. It also looks good underneath tv...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Playstation 3

Advantages: Great graphics and choice of games
Disadvantages: expensive

...I got one last year for Christmas and found it to be better than my XBox 360 in almost every area, in my opinion this truly is the best games console on the market and would recommend it to anyone who is into their gaming. The graphics are phenomenal and the range of games available is tremendous! I find the controllers are much easier and more comfortable to use than the other consoles on the market today i.e. xbox 360s controller has no area for the hands to get a grip of and is quite frankly annoying especially when using after the playstation 3, the rechargable controller function is a tremendous help as i was always buying batteries and having the hassle of inserting them into the xbox and now i simply plug into the playstation console and the charges up no problem, i can even use the controller while its charging! i would...
