Generally Chaotic

Advantages: Multiplayer, nice animation, quirky
Disadvantages: Pales into obscurity versus todays technology

...I decided to write a review of this seeing as I've never met anyone else who has ever heard of this bar my own brother. we used to while away the time on this simplistic army game. The game is named after one of the storyline's main General's. The conflict in question is between the blue forces of 'General Chaos' and the red troops of 'General Havoc.' The game is a very cartoony offering from EA, released in 1994 on SEGA Mega Drive. It is a mulitplayer compatible game and two players can play either co-op or against each other, and if I'm not mistaken, it was also possible to play 4 player with use of the special multiplayer pads. I no longer own this game and as a result am reviewing this from hazy childhood memory. The two main game modes are firstly a kind of 'campaign mode' where players compete against the computer for specific...

Review of General Chaos (Mega Drive)

GENERAL Turkish Wine

Advantages: Better than Greek wine
Disadvantages: Four times more expensive than similar french table wine.

...Having made a hash of slotting my two last reviews into the right category, I found this no easier. I just want to talk about wine in Turkey - in general - and if you are contemplating a holiday there for the first time - what you might expect to buy. Firstly I went to Bodrum on a sailing holiday in October 2006 and had a fantastic holiday, sailing out of Bodrum, which is absolutely gorgeous - a gem in fact, with such friendly people. I actually didn't want to go, having worked in Turkey near the Iraq border twice before.How wise I was not to refuse to go (which was on my mind) "Toursit" Turkey is like that however, but wine is not available in general off the beaten track. If you are travelling by car or by boat - stock up when you get the chance!! The Turks have been making wine like forever. It is not a new tourist gimmick...

Review of General: Turkey

THE GENERAL (1926 )

Advantages: Very funny / Visually stunning / Extremely authentic looking.
Disadvantages: None

...'The General ' is widely considered Buster Keatons finest film . The story is based on reminiscences of the Civil War, William Pittengers ' 'The Great Locomotive Chase' in which the author, a northern soldier, recalls a daring raid which he had taken part in. in 1862. The story obviously had great attraction to Keaton;of a band of soldiers disguised as southerners making there way from Tenessee into Atlanta to sieze a train while it's passengers were still at breakfast.The object being to run the train to Chattanooga where they would join forces with the union troops.along the way burning bridges and severing communications en-route,but despite delays, were overtaken , upon almost reaching there destination, by another borrowed locomotive which forced them to give up there prize.The men being apprehended and some, later, being...

Review of The General (Silent) (DVD)

Top Attractions in Barcelona; General Tourist Information

Advantages: *Great transport *Attractions for everyone, any age, any interest *City and beach
Disadvantages: *Food prices/quality in the centre *Very busy in peak seasons

... General Information The city of Barcelona stands in the heart of the Catalonia region in the east of Spain. Being the 2nd largest Spanish city, it boasts both the fast-paced city atmosphere yet also an open coastline with sandy beaches. Hotels can be found all across the city to suit everyone's tastes and ideal locations - may I recommend the Hotel Balmes on Calle Mallorca as a very good value 3 star hotel in a great location for the average tourist like me (see my review for this hotel should the mood take you). Transport The transport system seems very well run as there is an underground train network running to all the main attractions and back to the city centre on a very regular basis and at a very good price - we bought a 10 journey ticket which made each single journey just 77cents...such a good price when you think...

Review of Barcelona in general

Harlow in general.... Jeremy Kyle-esque?

Advantages: Lots of shops, some good bars & lots of nice takeaways here.
Disadvantages: Some of the people are just atrocious.

...I have lived in Harlow on and off for around 7 years now and have seen quite a few changes over time. Harlow has a few main areas such as The Stow, Staple Tye, Potter Street, Old Harlow & the main town centre. Each place has it's own shops, pubs etc and generally if you ask someone in Harlow where they come from it'll be "The Stow" or "near Potter St" rather than "blah blah street". There are two main shopping areas in the Town Centre and these are the Harvey Centre & The Water Gardens both within two or three minutes walk of each other and hosting a variety of bars, cafes, restaurants etc and some of the big stores such as Primark, Next, M&S, Top Shop, Jane Norman, JD Sports, Burtons, etc and there are also Supermarkets in the form of Tesco & Asda. There are lots of stores to visit here and you can probably find pretty much...

Review of Harlow in General

General Double Glazing Information

Advantages: Clean
Disadvantages: Shows Dirt

...I work for a UPVC manufacturing firm, and just thought I would give any potential buyer some general tips to look out for when thinking of buying any UPVC windows and doors. When a sales representative comes to your house, he should have a sample window frame with him, I would recommend you ask to have alook at this before you buy it, so you no exactly what you are getting, once the windows have been fitted there is no turning back. A few points:- Make sure the window is sturdy and ask what is in the middle on the frame, (the part you can't see) you would be expecting on a standard window for this to be either steel or some sort of metal internally. Some companies only put plastic in the middle. They you need to one the sample window to see what the opening mechanism is like, e,g it is study and easy to open or is it stiff...

Review of Double Glazing in General

Lets tear it apart General.

Advantages: Excellent graphics.
Disadvantages: Too short. In game stories are longer than actual game play.

...Command and Conquer Generals is the latest addition to the command and conquer series. Produced by EA games it allows you to build your base, defend you base and destroy your enemy and your enemies base and build great armies and lead them to victory. Command and Conquer Generals is a strategy warfare game and has changed a great deal from all of the original Command and Conquer games. The game is now in 3D graphics and is aesthetically pleasing, but unfortunately looks don?t count for everything. Also you can now play multiplayer games on the internet. The Command and Conquer series has always been developed by a company called, ?Westwood?, but now EA games have taken over and there are several similarities that distinguish it has been produced by EA games. Before I go into game details I will tell you all about the technical...

Review of Command & Conquer: Generals (PC)

The General's Daughter

Advantages: A superb script
Disadvantages: Travolta is perhaps a little to larger than life

...This film has sadly been missed by many viewers. John Travolta and Madalaine Stow star. Despite his excess bulk, Travolta puts in a pretty good performance in what is a fine piece of script writing. The story begins with the discovery of the generals daughter tied to stakes in the ground, naked, spread eagled and very dead. Despite the appearance, she has not been raped. Travolta is placed on the case, fighting his way through the male dominated, majorly corrupt, and seriously close-knit army ways to get to the truth. This film is a strange combination of crime thriller,moving drama and verging on romantic piece. It works extremely well. The scripts is quite superb, and contins one of the best dialogue sequences for a many a blue moon. Travolta and Stow do their jobs adequately, and without too much hollywood overacting. If you...

General of all Cookies - Ben's Cookies

Advantages: So tasty
Disadvantages: £

...Not really Cereal, as such, but I couldn't find 'Cookies in General'. No this isn't a recipe. This is more a tale of how Dario managed to find the best cookie shop in the world. First off. Cookies renowned for Big Brother's Katreya two years ago (?). And the FACT that they taste great and have no (positive) nutrionational values. So today (31st Jan) I was out with a friend, going to meet more friends in High St. Kensington. We were both hungry (because it was lunch time) and were planning on eating out. We took the tube from Brixton, as you would, and changed once or twice. Coming out of the tube station and past the barriers, are many shops and we went to Marks & Spencers to get some food. As you can probably guess an M&S sandwich isn't that filling and so my friend decided to buy a cookie from a shop called 'Ben...

Review of Cereal in General

Almost a General Maybe Only a Colonel

Advantages: Improved 3D engine, intuitive controls
Disadvantages: Big video card required, too long animated introductions

...The latest Command and Conquer offshoot is Generals. The game is now part of the Electronic Arts (EA) stable as Westwood has lost its independence. I first played the original Command and Conquer back in probably 95 or 96 when it was possible to defeat the enemy AI by building sandbags half way round the map. At that point in my life, days tended to disappear and sleep was seriously lost. Over the years and sequels that included Red Alert, Renegade and various expansion packs I lost interest as it all be came too samey. Indeed before this, I had not played the C&C series for about 2 years. Gameplay The game has changed slightly – more to the format of Dune: Battle for Arrakis – where you get to choose one of multiple sides. As ever, each have their own good and bad points which you must consider in battle; The US high...
