Last Action Hero Film Review

Advantages: Action
Disadvantages: This isn't 'The Terminator'

...So here we have a farewell to the darker, Terminator stuff of Arnie's earlier career; a tasteless, clumsy mix of action, comedy and satire; one of the biggest flops of 1993 and the 1990s in general. For all the things that people have labelled Last Action Hero down the years, however, I still can't bring myself to hate it. It's hardly amazing, I'll admit, but I'd still much rather watch this than half the action films that come out these days. It's a self-conscious parody of action movie clichés (made famous primarily by Schwarzenegger himself) and for the most part it comes across quite entertaining. There's plenty of moments concerned with Arnie blowing shit up and making witty remarks about it; and he even meets his real-life counterpart face-to-face and gets the opportunity to poke some fun at himself. Confused? Allow me to...

Review of Last Action Hero (DVD)

Big action, big fun

Advantages: Great for imaginative play, sturdy and brightly coloured, Made by fisher price
Disadvantages: expensive for one toy. Quite large so a big room is needed

...Fisher Prices’ Big action garage is one of the best children’s garages I have seen on the market to date. Although a little pricey for a child’s toy at £54.97 it really is money well spent. The garage comes in a box with home assembly required, this was a little daunting as the instructions came in an A4 booklet! However it took roughly half an hour to assemble and was relatively easy once I got going, everything you require is included with the exception of a Phillips screwdriver. The garage itself comprises of a ground floor level with barriers and petrol pumps, the second floor level leads onto the long spiral ramp as does the top floor level. There are two ramps, a speed ramp, with a jump at the end, which cars ‘fly’ off, ( they really do....usually straight at the cat!) this ramp also doubles as...

Gamecube, Homer; Homer, Gamecube

Advantages: GTA style | Actual Voiceovers from the original Simpsons cast | Its The Simpsons
Disadvantages: Gets Repetitive

...This is a review on the Gamecube game called The Simpson's Hit and Run. It is the first Simpson's game to be in the style of a Grand Theft Auto game. Who are The Simpsons? **************************** Not too sure who the Simpson's are? Then you are either a person who does not watch TV much, or very young or just don't have a TV. The Simpson's is a TV series, starring the likes of Homer, and Bart, and the Comic Book Guy. The Simpson's live in a town called Springfield in America. The Simpson's family, called The Simpson's always get into mischief or help people out, sometimes just for no reason. There are loads of other characters that are in roughly every episode, and then there are some rare characters. The rare characters are mainly famous people. The Simpson's have had loads of famous people on their show, like Red Hot...

...I bought this Action Replay card so that I could download saves from the internet and back up my own saves on my computer and share them online.

Gamecube's take on Final Fantasy?

Advantages: Easy and simple to play
Disadvantages: Not for the average Final Fantasy fan

..., standard attack option, items option, etc. The major difference in this Final Fantasy from the others is that instead of being turn-based actions it is set in real time like 'Zelda' where you are able to run at the enemy or run away to dodge the monsters during fights. A key feature to any RPG (role playing game) is the ability to customise and interact with things, which makes you feel more of apart of the game. Exampless of these is being able to rename the main character to what you want it, pick different party members as well as naming them. Also another example of customisation is that you are able to colour and trim your Moogle's hair/fur, you can spray paint it any colour as well as anywhere on its body, also by trimming its hair/fur it also affects your gameplay as not trimming your Moogle's hair can cause it to get sweaty and tired...

Rocky for Gamecube

Advantages: Based on film, Get to beat up characters from film, Super Punches
Disadvantages: Controls dated, Average Graphics and Sound, Poor Training Mode, Lack of Game Modes.

...of other modes. Exhibition mode allows you to choose any of the boxers and to either fight the computer or another human player. The game also includes a Knockout Tournament mode, in which up to 16 boxers can fight. Finally, there is a sparring mode which serves as a place to practice. None of these modes are really groundbreaking. Rocky's controls are simple. Punches are controlled by the controller's buttons. Although this is adequate the controls are far inferior to EA's Fight Night Round 2, in which punches are controlled using the C-Stick. After playing this game Rocky's controls seem dated. That said the action flows fluidly and you can pull off jabs, hooks and uppercuts without too much trouble. The most amusing punch is the "Super Punch". These vary for each boxer but are all suitably painful and over the top. Indeed, Tommy...

Decleor Double Action Tinted Moisturiser

Advantages: A little goes a long way, covers blemishes, helps reduce spots and redness
Disadvantages: More expensive than other brands, only comes in one colour

...I got this Decleor 'Double Action Tinted Concealer' as a brand new hand-me-down. The concealer has aquatic plant extracts and essential oil in it. Decleor is a French company based in Paris and the concealer is also made in France. The concealer has a 12 month use by date, which is good since it is only a 15ml tube. Despite being such a small tube you only have to use the tiniest bit when you use it so it should end up lasting you for months. The concealer is aimed at combination and oily skin. Decleor tend to package all of their products in an egg yolk yellow colour (with a few exceptions) I really like their packaging and it always looks a very happy colour. Despite being yellow in colour the packaging looks quite simple with their logo in black font at the top of the tube and then a description of what the product is...

DragonBall Z Budokai Finally On The GameCube!

Advantages: Different graphics to its sequels
Disadvantages: Japanese | Subtitles are annoying to read | Sequels are better

...This is a review on the original DragonBall Z Budokai game that has finally came out onto the GameCube (GC), I will give as much information about it as I can, and I would like to have any suggestions to improve this review, will be really appreciated. What are Saiyans? -------------------------- Goku is a Saiyan (another planets race), he was sent from Planet Vegeta to Planet Earth, so when he becomes older, he will be able to destroy Earth. When there is a full moon, and the Saiyans have their tail, they will go all Oozaroo and transform into this giant ape creature. This only happens when there is a full moon. The Saiyans are a different race, they look like humans but they have some advantages. Like true Saiyans hair does not grow, and when the moon is full, if they look at it, they go Oozaro and turn into a giant ape...
