Flat out 2 steps up from the original

Advantages: 8 Car Mayhem!
Disadvantages: A few annoying traits...

...straights. Although being a game where the fun is to completely destroy your opponents car they haven?t made it so that you can just put the pedal to the metal and drive flat out the entire race, some basic breaking and steering skill is required, but not crucial. The graphics in this game are of a relatively high standard and the crash graphics are very good even if a little over the top with the amount that the cars get destroyed. Don?t worry though, your Car will be completely refurbished and reset on the track. The multi-player mode is rather disappointing with only 2 players allowed on either xbox or ps2 and no other cars on the track. This means that if the players are of a different skill level they will get bored because they are racing apart from each other. There is a lack of the special events too, with only the ?rag...

Review of FlatOut 2 (PS2)

FlatOut: UC - What A Smashing Game

Advantages: Great damage, Stunt Mode
Disadvantages: Annoying AI catch-up, Can get repetitive

...This is a game where you don't have to be the best driver to be good at it. The aim of the game is to crash into your opponents and surrounding objects in order to win the race. Each series of races can contain 3 races to 6 races. There are 3 classes of car. Derby, Street and Race. Each car has their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, a 4x4 will be strong but slow, whereas a small car will be fast but weaker. GAMEPLAY The career is played out over 3 classes, as mentioned above. You will only have enough money to buy a more basic car in its class, but as you win more races you will earn enough money to upgrade your car. Additional to Career Mode, there is Carnage Mode. In Carnage Mode you have to complete certain types of races and stunts. Some of the races are Beat The Bomb, where you have to race around a track...

Flatten Out The Frizz?!

Advantages: Relaxes frizz to some extent!
Disadvantages: Cost & doesnt' totally flatten out my frizzy hair!

...~ KMS ~ I have only ever been able to buy KMS hair care products from my hairdresser. Please correct me if I'm wrong but up here in the NE of England I've never seen them in shops like Boots or Superdrug etc........ I have a few of their products and have been really impressed by all of them despite what appears to be a high price at the time! KMS have a huge range of hair care produce on the market at the moment, they have divided their range in to ten colour-coded regimes which I have listed below, including the colours of the packaging: * Add volume (green) * Colour Vitality (blue) * Curl Up (orange) * Moisture Repair (light blue) * Flat Out (purple) * Hair Play (green) * Hair Stay (pink) * Daily Fixx Remedy (pale turquoise) * Silk Sheen (orange/pale peach) * Turn Style (pale aquamarine) As you can see there...

Flatmates: A Flat Story

Advantages: It's still readable
Disadvantages: characters are weak, story is flat and far fetched at the end

...night drinking with his rugby pals, and constant thoughtlessness when it comes to Fiona's feelings? Kerry is usually the most sensible one of the girls, staying in most nights while they party. She hasn't had a boyfriend for two years though, and starts to develop a rather dangerous crush on her boss Leon. Not only is he her boss, but he is also gay. Surely Kerry will see sense and realise there is no point in pursuing him? Finally, the last of the girls is Linzi. Linzi has a degree, however finds herself working in low-paid, dead end agency jobs, which she often walks out of. She is messy around the house, thinks nothing of borrowing the other girls stuff without their permission and has a bit of a carefree attitude in general. How will things change now that she is dating sexy Italian Gaetano? ~What I thought~ It took me...

Review of Flat Mates - Chris Manby

New brand salon hair straightner's UMBERTO GIANNINI

Advantages: Price, fast heat up and smooth.
Disadvantages: clunky feel.

...UMBERTO GIANNINI FLAT OUT STRAIGHTNER?S ?Salon professional ceramic irons to straighten smooth and style? I was initially attracted to the box and presentation of these straightner's in Boot?s. They are presented in a long white ?arched front? box with a clear window to see the straightener's which are also white. Then reading the box I see that they came with a heat resistant travel bag, styling clips (a comb although not stated on box) and a gift voucher for a free Umberto styling product. Also printed was ?As used in Umberto Giannini store?s? and ?Award winning British hairdressers? So all the boxes were ticked and I was very sure that I wanted these. I then looked at the price and they were £70.00 ? I walked away. After an unsuccessful search in other shops for some straightner?s I had a look online on Boots.com and found them...

* Standing Up , Standing Out *

Advantages: Great For Katie Fans!
Disadvantages: Seen A Lot Of It Before!

...First of all , if you follow the world that is celebrity then I'm sure you'll have heard of Katie Price's recent troubles. If not (and where have you been ?) I will explain to you who Katie Price is ; Katie Price was born in Brighton on May 22nd 1978. Katie Price started her career off as a glamour model named Jordan.

Review of Standing Out - Katie Price

Flatout2, fun but not quite perfect.

Advantages: Graphics, Car handling, Price
Disadvantages: Cheating AI, Longevity

.... but i feel they could have put little bit more pressure on the sound scheme. Its not perfect, but doesnt bother either. Graphics: Now this is one thing they have really done well, honestly saying it looks amazing! Explosions, sun glares, shine and colourfull tracks make this game one of the best looking ive played. Theres all the time something little on the air, on fire.. thanks to thousands of objects placed for bashing around the tracks. Best part is definitely that its not very heavy, in fact.. other game makers should learn from Bugbear a little bit of optimisation! I can run it perfectly smooth everything maxed out with 2xAA on my Amd athlon 64 3200+/Geforce 7600gt. The main reason for it to be so smooth is the way they use post process effects on about everything, they have found perfect balance so that it doesnt seem...

Out For Justice Film Review

Advantages: Fight Scenes
Disadvantages: Awful Dialogue

...Ah, Steven Seagal: The now fat, past his prime Aikido expert/invincible movie star, who critics loved to endlessly pick gripe with and fans at the very most could just about tolerate. Seagal never actually looked anything like the trend of the typical '80s/'90s action star, which was set by the Schwarzeneggers and Stallones of the generation -- what, with his greasy pony tail, bloated figure and extravagant dress sense. Out For Justice, however, was a by-the-numbers action flick, with Seagal playing Gino Felino, a tough, incorruptible Brooklyn cop, who was out to avenge the death of his partner Bobby Lupo. It's actually a solid little action movie in itself, which never tries to be anything more than what it is. The introduction has to be one of the most badass openings to an action film I've ever seen: Seagal spots a black PIMP...

Review of Out For Justice (DVD)

Flat Coat Retrievers - a tribute.

Advantages: The most lovable large dog you could have.
Disadvantages: Messy and not to be left alone regularly.

...the recommended time for a first litter, she gave birth to 7 bitch puppies. One of them went on later to become a Cruft Champion and we were very proud for her and her owners. We kept the last one out (of the womb), the runt of the litter with a distended belly button and we called her Gemima (Gemma) (Belly Button). They would all have been good choices but she was a star. Although Flat Coats may generally look alike they all have highly individual characters. Mother Pepper was greedy, gentle beyond belief, mortified by scolding, could kill with her eyes if you upset her, was scared of the sea unless it was flat calm, a wonderful mother to her puppies, and the best companion apart from my wife that I have ever had. Gemma was a tiger, fearless and crazy, would go where her mother feared to tread. She wanted to chase sticks, balls...

Review of Choosing a Breed of Dog - Flat Coated Retrievers

Get out and about

Advantages: 500 free days out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: Depending on where you live there may not be lots of ideas

...This pocket sized guide is filled with 500 free days out in Britain. It was first released in 2005 and reprinted in 2006, but I have not found that any of the recommendations are out of date (I mean, none have closed in the meantime). The book costs £4.99, but you shoudl be able to get hold of a copy much cheaper than this. Mine was only £1.00 from The Works. It's worth the fiver, but obviously the cheaper it is, the better the value. The book is divided into alphabetically organised sections. It is organised first by country (England first, then Scotland, next Wales, lastly the Republic of Ireland), then by county within that country, again in alphabetical order. The name of the county is written down the side of the page so it's really easy to check you're still looking in the right place, especially on the pages where two counties...
