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...

Review of Gemini XL300

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...

The $3 million Man

Advantages: Excellent acting, powerful story
Disadvantages: Dated now

...and powerful way. I thought that they portrayed the suffering of an autistic savant person very well and did not make the character out to be stupid or less of a man than he was. I thought that Dustin Hoffman who played Raymond did an amazing job and I am so glad that he won an Oscar for his performance. He managed to make me feel a whole different range of emotions, one minute I was feeling sorry for him as he was unable to take being out of his routine and the next minute I would be laughing at him for some silly story he was telling Charles. He really did the role justice and had me believing that he really was a sufferer. Tom Cruise played the role of Charles and at the beginning of the film I did not warm to his character as he was quite arrogant but after about half an hour I did start to warm to him and I liked how he managed to portray...

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...

Review of Gemini 676

Jim Carrey, the man who like to say yes?

Advantages: Quirky, endearing performances. Restrained Carrey
Disadvantages: Random gross-out moments are misplaced.

...Carl is a man who doesn't say "yes" to much. As a result he has managed to be rejected for promotion and has become isolated from friends as he lets them down time after time. Endless DVD nights on his own are commonplace and his life becomes more tragic by the minute. However, a chance meeting with an old friend may well change all that as Carl is about to become the man who likes to say yes! "Yes Man" is massively different from what I was expecting. The concept is almost a verbatim copy of Jim Carrey's previous film "Liar Liar" and I was expecting more of the same. However, refreshingly this is a more subtle affair from that rubber-faced slapstick comedy. A gentile romantic-comedy, "Yes Man" contains a surprisingly subdued Carrey and is better for it. Carl's self-loathing and pity is clear from the outset and this makes him...

Review of Yes Man

Man on wire - 1360 feet up over downtown Manhattan

Advantages: A compelling tale told with warmth and humour by those who lived it
Disadvantages: Unnecessary "reconstruction" scenes used over voiceovers

...This is a film only review. We all have regrets in life. As I write this in middle age, I think back to May 2001, when I was on a trip to New York City and staying in a hotel in downtown. The plan had been to go up to the top of the World Trade Center, which was directly across the street from our hotel, but our daughter, who was four at the time and completely non-verbal, started to scream in the queue, scuppering our plans. When you are younger you assume you will have the chance to do these things again, but sadly life sometimes gets in the way, or in the case of the WTC, Osama bin Laden. I have a hazy memory from my childhood however, of the man who got on a tightrope and spent 45 minutes walking from the roof of one tower to the other. This was big news back in 1974, when I was ten, and I well recall the iconic images...

Review of Man On Wire

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...
