Advantages: Excellent speed, no failures
Disadvantages: More expensive than comparative memory

...I use a Minolta 5D camera, which i love, and this card complements it perfectly. The card is rated at 133x speed (20Mb/s) which is blisteringly fast. You can transfer the contents of the entire card to your computer in about a minute (~16Mb/s). The 133x refers to the standardised speed of transferring with a cd-rom, hence 1x is 150Kb/s for reference. The benefit of using a card this fast is that it will allow your camera to take pictures in continuous/burst mode as fast as the camera is capable of (unless you are using a Pro level camera like a canon 1D or nikon D2Xs), my camera sustains a speed of 2 fps (frames per second) after the buffer is full, and this is limited by the cameras electronics rather than the card. The price of these has also dropped a lot since release, and even more so now as the extreme IV series has... Read review

Advantages: Great gameplay, generally amazing
Disadvantages: police presence can be slightly annoying

...Gta iv is a great, great game, it really entertains you, and I guarantee you will not be dissapointed with this game. If, like me, you are a fanatic grand theft auto fan this game is certain to please you! The gameplay itself really is superb. Missions are inventive and much more complex than usual. I really would like you to try this game for yourself, I will not spoil it for you. The presence of police, I have noticed is much more frequent. Any street you commit a crime in, the police are more than likely immediatley on you. Do not get a 6 star wanted level, it is extremely hard to escape, almost impossible in fact. The mobile phone feature is great, it is your central control centre for the whole game. I really am not going to spoil it any more, you owe yourself to play it.... Read review

Advantages: Intricately woven storyline and mind-boggling scenes.
Disadvantages: None - this is horror at its best.

...ninety minutes to overcome a series of demented traps and save an old friend - or face the consequences. Unfortunately for Rigg, the FBI are not convinced that he's actually another of Jigsaw's victims... Watching 'Saw IV' felt more like a wrap-up to 'Saw III' - which inevitably gave you a glimpse of what to expect in 'Saw V', which is presently in the making. Needless to say that if you haven't watched 'Saw III', then you shouldn't be watching this latest sequel in the 'Saw' series - if you do, chances are you won't understand what's going on. 'Saw IV' was reminiscent of the original movie with its cleverly woven storyline, thought-provoking scenes and twisted ending. Who would have thought that after a totally random 'Saw III' with its lack of a solid storyline, and scenes packed with random gruesome body mutilations, that any... Read review

...Introduction Civilisation IV is, unsuprisingly, the fourth in the well known series by Sid Meir. The game sees you try to build a civilisation from 4000BC through to 2050AD and dominate your neighbours through a combination of military, cultural, diplomatic and technological means. Gameplay The game is turn based and each of your units have a movement rating that allows you to move a certain number of spaces (tiles) per turn. You begin with a single settler on the map with most of the area blacked out until it is explored, this settler can be used to make your first city. Cities The first thing you will do is look to place this city in a good location. Each of the tiles on the map is a different type of land which gives varying benifits to your city. The different types are: Plains, Grassland, Desert, Tundra, Hill... Read review

Advantages: Lovely city, great acting, love the accents and Multiplayer is a huge plus.
Disadvantages: A few pop ins on the 360 version

...GTA IV... What isnt there to love about this fabulous game? First let me tell you I am no fan of the Grand Theft Auto series as I have found them all boring after the first two hours, until that is GTA IV came along. Now I'm hooked and I don't know why. Is it the pedestrians walking by munching on a hotdog, conversing with their friends and even pulling out an umbrella as it starts to rain upon the ever alive streets of liberty city, As I drive down the city at full speed pursued by the police I smash into a pedestrian and almost feel sorry as Euphoria kicks in (Euphoria is kinda a ragdoll engine for games and the like, But it gives the characters a sense of self preservation so they could for instance try and break thier fall as they plummet to the hard hard ground below them) sending them flying over my bonnet and into the the police...

Advantages: Graphics, Physics, Gameplay
Disadvantages: Does not offer anything new

...I have owned GTA IV for a week now and I have already played over 20 hours. Someone could say that I'm addicted. Plot: Game's main character is Niko Bellic, who is a Serbian immigrant. He came to America to live the famous American Dream but he quickly realizes that thing's aren't so good as his cousin Roman has told him. I think that GTA IV has the best plot of the series so far. It's touching, it's funny and it's full of action. There are many crazy people who you work for and some of them you will eventually have to kill. Plot is not very complicated but it's not too simple either. Graphics: GTA series finally arrived to next generation consoles and it couldn't look better. Lightning is awesome and you can't praise physics enough. New Euphoria Engine looks cool and people act naturally to bullet and car hits. Gameplay... Read review

Advantages: Unbeatable graphics and all round gaming experience for point and click adventure
Disadvantages: Some very difficult puzzles

...If you enjoyed the rest of the Myst series then you’re in for a treat as Myst IV Revelation is based on the same premise, but with improvements to game play. Set in stunning worlds with superb graphics, atmospheric music and sound effects. Your task is to solve a range of intricate puzzles, which are often difficult, in order to find out Atrius’s sinister sons’ latest antics and to help Atrius’s family. For new players I recommend playing the first three Mysts to give you a full picture of the plot, although not essential, they’re all great games in their own right. There are plenty of opportunities to interact with realistic creatures and people, as well as the environment. There are also beautifully created live-action scenes to support the plot. If you haven’t played Myst before my advice is to look and listen carefully... Read review
