Super Galaxies of Fun

Advantages: Full of fun, especially for children
Disadvantages: Missing some traditional Mario cast-members

...Nintendo's flagship series makes its way to the Wii, with "Super Mario Galaxy". It's always a challenge to find a household that won't benefit from a Mario game, given their guaranteed appeal to children and kids-at-heart, and "Galaxy" makes that challenge harder with joyous gameplay that should also entice gamers looking for more mature video-game experiences. The Story The Mushroom Kingdom is in merry colours as it prepares for the Stardust Festival: A celebration coinciding with the mysterious comet that fills the skies every one hundred years, causing a star shower as impressive as it is peculiar. Princess Peach invites our hero Mario over and he predictably arrives just in time to see the Princess doing what she does best: get kidnapped. To be fair, there's not much you can do when the kidnapper uproots the whole...

The Rolling Gizmo Galaxy Drove Me Nuts!

Advantages: Excellent game
Disadvantages: The rolling Gizmo Galaxy

...When i had my beloved Nintendo Wii "i had so much fun" using it and one of my favourite games indeed was this one. I had played Mario games on other systems such as the Nintendo 64 and the Dream Cast but Mario Sunshine left me frustrated and ready to throw the darn Dream Cast out the window because i got so far in it then i just couldn't get past one particular level "no matter how hard" that i tried and Super Mario 64 was brilliant but i never got round to finishing it. When i got my Nintendo Wii last Christmas, i was so excited about getting it and i had picked a few particular games one of them being the brilliant Sims Castaway. I have always loved The Sims games so for the first while although Super Mario Galaxy was sitting there i hardly ever used it. After my brother's reminding me for the hundreth time how good it was supposed to...

Galaxy Cookie Crumble

Advantages: It's Galaxy...
Disadvantages: ...very odd texture

...The debate will forever continue ? Cadbury?s versus Galaxy. Well, here?s a sideshow to the main event ? the new (ish) Galaxy Cookie Crumble. This six-piece chocolate bar is the regular smooth Galaxy chocolate with an added crunch. Galaxy?s regular chocolate bar is renowned for being ?smooth? ? chocolate you can?t help but try and melt in your mouth, but this has a serious twist. After taking the bar out of the wrapper ? which is extremely like the normal Galaxy bar so try not to get the two confused ? it seems like ordinary Galaxy on top, but on the bottom you can see ripples in the chocolate from the shards of cookie splattered about. Biting into the bar and the cookie pieces are instantly noticable. In all honesty, I can understand why so many people are undecided about this bar as the pieces are sharp, hard and uncomfortable if...

Super Mario Galaxy

Advantages: Great Gameplay, Amazing Graphics, Nice soundtrack
Disadvantages: None

Galaxy Minstrels

Advantages: taste good
Disadvantages: fat

...Introduction Minstrels have been around for years now and they are made by Mars Galaxy a competitor to Cadbury's. They are both up there in the high rankings! I first came across minstrels at a young age in the smaller bags but they are available in the large multi packs now! Packaging The packaging on the small packet is the same as the DooYoo image above, the packaging on the larger pack is slightly different. On the front there is the Galaxy Minstrels logo and underneath is an image of minstrels stacked up in a peculiar way! There is also a short description. On the back of the pack, there is nutritional information, ingredients and other useful information. The larger pack is 170g but the small pack is 42g. The Product Minstrels are smooth milk chocolate in a crisp shell. They measure about 2cm and they are a sort of oval...

Review of Mars Galaxy Minstrels

Galaxy: did it come from a Galaxy ?

Advantages: tastes amazing looks good lots of bar sizes available
Disadvantages: price is a little bit more, but product makes up for it

...*** this review first appeared on dooyoo.co.uk *** Galaxy is like it came from a Galaxy. The taste is unbelievably good and the chocolate is of a very high standard too. Galaxy chocolate has been around for a while, since then the chocolate has got better with different recipes being introduced alongside its changing of the design. Although personally I think that changing the design to make it "smoother" was just a bid to cut costs by giving less chocolate. Taste and Appearance So lets start with the taste, if you have had Galaxy before (and you like chocolate) then you must have liked it. If you didn't you must be, well.. un-natural, or maybe inhuman describes it better. Anyway, the point is that the chocolate tastes very good, far better than its competitors chocolate. Dairy Milk chocolate for example is just too hard...

Review of Mars Galaxy Chocolate Bar

Galaxy Quest review

Advantages: How spoofs should be made
Disadvantages: None

...Galaxy Quest is a Sci-Fi adventure spoof about the stars of a cult TV show and stars Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman and Justin Long. The TV show, called Galaxy Quest, is a 1980's Sci-Fi show in the vein of "Star Trek" and has the same enthusiastic fans. The show has been canceled for 18 years but Jason Nesmith, Gwen DeMarco and Alexander Dane and the rest of the crew still earn their way attending conventions and opening discount stores. During one convention, where they're at each others throats as usual, a race of aliens known as Thermians arrive and ask for their help. Nesmith laughs them off until he gets taken up into their spaceship, along with the rest of the cast. Turns out the aliens think these actors are real spacemen (and women) and have based their whole society around them. They take them into space hoping...

Review of Galaxy Quest (DVD)

Cookie from another Galaxy

Advantages: Chocolate....WITH COOKIES!??!?!?!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: you can't enjoy the chocolate melting as much.

...I have spent most of today with my head on the desk trying my best to ignore people. I have been Grumpy, Sneezy and Dopey all day and don?t have any plans to work through any other dwarfs any time soon, even if it is only the happier, shinier ones that are left. At the same time, my flat mate (who also works with me) has been challenged by our crazy Irish friend to give up sugar for a week just to see how horrible it is (actually the original challenge was to down 20 shots of lime cordial in a row and THEN give up sugar for a week?) SO! Because of this my flatmate was clearing out her drawers (a phrase I never intend to use again) which are full of sweets (oh god the images). I lifted my head long enough to snatch a galaxy cookie crumble from her, then lowered my head rapidly towards the cheap, faux pine desk. Say what? I first...

Mmmmars - GALAXY COOKIE CRUMBLE

Advantages: An addition to the chocolate which is a bit different.
Disadvantages: Quite sweet.

...Galaxy Cookie Crumble (119g bar) Recently I have found myself drawn to the Galaxy range of chocolate bars. The one that caught my eye this week was the Cookie Crumble variety. I always like reading what chocolate bars say about themselves, and then find out for myself if I think it is accurate. On the side of the wrapper it says, ?For maximum pleasure enjoy in complete peace and quiet.? I don?t think you could argue with that statement ? no eager little fingers trying to pinch pieces from you! Then again, it may seem a bit sad sitting alone in quiet solitude eating a bar of chocolate. On the back it says, ?Smoothness enhanced with delicious pieces of chocolate cookie.? So, is it smooth and are the cookie pieces delicious? Packaging I found the design of this packaging simple and effective. The foil wrapped...

Review of Mars Galaxy Cookie Crumble

Galaxy

Advantages: Tastes lovely
Disadvantages: More calories than dairy milk

...I really love chocolate and absolutely love Galaxy. The Galaxy packaging has recently changed from the foil wrap and the paper cover to a plastic covering. The packaging is quite nice and is a light cream colour and "Galaxy" is written across the front in dark brown writing. All the ingriedents are listed on the back of the packet along with all the nutritional information. The bar is around 300 calories and about fifteen grams of fat which is higher than dairy milk chocolate which I see as a major disadvantage. However the chocolate tastes gorgeous. The chocolate is quite different to Cadbury's dairy milk and has a really creamy taste. This is quite a special chocolate however I do prefer dairy milk beacause it is less calories and is lower in fat. Though overall I would recommend for anyone who loves chocolate as you won't be...
