Mizar Wars: Return Of Jet Force Gemini

Advantages: Challenging, plenty to explore and shoot
Disadvantages: Frame-rate not steady, silly story, cannot skip ship sequences

...*A review which is primarily based on the single-player experience of the third-person action-adventure game, Jet Force Gemini.* Jet Force Gemini sees you taking on the evil tyrant of Mizar in a battle across the universe, and although the story, aimed at children (above the age of eleven - thanks ELSPA), can seem silly in places, the plot twists are simply stupid: [SPOILERS] When an asteroid is set on a collision course with Earth, an ancient starship is needed as the Jet Force ships won't be able to get there in time. However, not only do the Jet Force Team have to search for the ship parts, but they are also asked to save all of the Tribals - as if this doesn't take time (not the only thankless task which is a pain in the ass)! It's a farce as they would crash the starship on the Asteroid, yet still allow for players to travel to...

Jet Force Gemini

Advantages: Best Graphics on the N64, surround sound music and SFX, excellent gameplay
Disadvantages: hard to get into, but ultimately rewarding

...Further to the previous comments on Jet Force Gemini, the game, like any has good points and bad points. While JFG may not be as instantly accessible as other comparable offerings, I found it a hugely enjoyable game to play. For one, the graphics are simply the best I've seen on the N64. Perhaps JFG's imagery doesn't quite come on par with some of the latest offerings on the Dreamcast and PS2, but for a 64-bit console, these graphics as good as it gets. Each surface lovingly textured, each character carefully animated, each shadow, each reflection, spot on. JFG shows off the console to it's best, at the peak of perfection, with a stunning variety of beautiful locations. Whether it's the stunning courtyard outside Mizar's Palace, with it's shimmering floor, reflecting your every move, the dark corners of some underground industrial...

GEMINI's 676 3 Channel Mixer

Advantages: Good looking, many functions
Disadvantages: cheap cross fader

...This is one of Gemini's collection. This company are renound for the quality of their mixers. They can offer the best value for money on the market. This one has these features; high, mid, low, gain adjustment, kill switches, beat LED bars, diffferent out puts & inputs, unassignable cross fader, mic input & adjustment, talk over functuin, 12 second sampler with adjustments in pitch, volume etc (great for echo effects), headphone cue-ing adjustment, reversable cross fader and gradual to sharp fading settings. This was the first mixer I purchased. It is simple to use, easy to set up (plug & play basically). The only problem I had was the cross fader wore out within 4 or so months. However the replacement one costs around £20. The buttons are on securely, they may need to be firmly pushed down upon after opening the box though inorder to...

Gemini XL-100

Advantages: Good to start with
Disadvantages: Belt Drive

...I brought the Gemini XL-100 turntable's for my son a few years ago when he first started getting into spinning disk's. They taught him well and is now using direct drive turntable's as he say's that they are much better for mixing with, but he does not have a bad word to say about the Gemini XL-100's, It's just that they are belt drive and he would rather use direct drive now. As i said i brought them a few years now and i can honestly say that my son has used them near on every day that he has had them,( which if you where one of my neighbours you would find this a bad thing, they don't appreaciate him playing his music) without anything ever going wrong with them, the only thing that he has had to replace are the needles. Therefore they where really good value for money. We paid £199 for the package of which you received :- 2 x...

Review of the Roberts Gemini RD3

Advantages: Stylish, Excellent Music Sound Quality
Disadvantages: Curious Distortion on Speech, Loud Hum from Mains Adapter, No Clock

...I bought Roberts Gemini RD3 (my first DAB Digital Radio) to add to the growing collection of Roberts Radios in my house. I generally ADORE Roberts Radios - their sound quality, build quality, features and reliability have always really impressed me. However, I have to say the Roberts Gemini RD3 was a bit of a disappointment. Its main good points are the typical Roberts Build Quality & Looks, and its EXCELLENT sound quality when it comes to playing pop music; it has no problem belting out the bass! However, I found a number of quirks with the radio which have left me rather indifferent towards it. Maybe I'm too fussy, but my main gripes..... * There is a curious distortion (like a harsh gravelly tone) when listening to mens voices on the DAB Tuner - a real pain when listening to Radio 4 and other speech-based stations...

Review of Roberts Gemini 3 DAB Radio

Roberts Gemini 3 Portable DAB/FM Radio

Advantages: Excellent reception, audio quality
Disadvantages: Expensive

...but I was put -off by a lack of external aerial socket and the RDS/Radiotext on FM that the Portal 2 had. In the end, and with the prospect of some birthday money I decided to buy the Roberts Gemini 3 radio. The Roberts Gemini 3 Well after parting with just short of £140 at Argos it was back home to give my new radio a go and put it through its paces. I unboxed the radio and found a standard figure of 8 mains lead and a well written book of instructions. The radio itself unlike the many retro look models around looks a nice modern styling with a sloped control panel and display. The display is backlit green and is continuous on the mains but lit for a short time after a button press on batteries. I extended the telescopic aerial and pressed the autotune button, not the radio did a thorough scan of the DAB band 3 radio band, finding...

Review of Disney's Kim Possible: Global Gemini (Nintendo DS)

Warm and Cosy

Advantages: Wonderful characters, well-written, satisfying plot
Disadvantages: No great excitement

...Under Gemini is the story of twins separated at birth, finding each other quite by chance in their early twenties. Perhaps an over-used plotline, and I have to admit that there's an astounding coincidence in the first couple of chapters, leading to their first meeting. Yet somehow Rosamunde Pilcher, who is one of my favourite modern writers, manages to make it seem like a brand new idea. The story doesn't switch between the perspectives of the twins, as I thought it might. Instead it focuses on Flora, a friendly and caring person who was brought up in Cornwall by her father. As the book opens she has just moved to London to look for a job; suddenly she bumps into Rose, the sister she did not know existed. Unfortunately, although they look identical, Rose is totally unlike her twin in character. She cares little for anybody...

Review of Under Gemini - Rosamunde Pilcher

Gemini by Mark Burnell

Advantages: A compelling read
Disadvantages: Couldn't put it down!

...This book is the fourth of the series. I have read all four and find it a lot easier to understand if you start from the beginning. It starts with "The Rhythm Section" followed by "Chameleon" and then "Gemini". This is the final book in the series. Since reading the first book I have become hooked on Mark Burnell's style of writing. The story pulls you further and further in without you realising it. I found myself reading it over breakfast, on the train and bus until I had finished it. The outline of this book is as follows:- The third novel featuring the spicy, redoubtable but tender Stephanie Patrick finds her still paying back her obligations to Magenta House, and living an apparently normal civilian life in London. But then a remarkable new issue envelops her, forcing her back into her former life. Scientific and weapons...
