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)

A great set of rollers!

Advantages: shiny, full of volume curls!
Disadvantages: Still time consuming!

...I used these a few weeks ago at my friend's house and I was really impressed! When I go out to a wedding or a big occasion I like to spend some time getting ready and making my hair look nice. I have tried using curling tongs and GHDs to curl my hair but i'm always getting it uneven or burning myself or I get half way throguh and decide i'm fed up!! I went to my friend's house and used her roller set and I was really impressed with them! They heated up very quickly and were really easy to use. The box contains 20 rollers which are ceramic. They are in 3 different sizes which is dfferent to what I've used before as they only had two sizes. There are large, medium and small so you can get the right type of curl for the right part of your hair! They secure into place with the grips really easily which again is a bonus, it can be...

Badminton-General

Advantages: make us healthy
Disadvantages: none

...(left or right) to intersect across the net area opposite. The single and double service area has a different, as illustrated in the figure. When I fall outside the area then I declared "out" and points to the service recipient. Position left or right where the service is done from the specified number of points that have been collected by players who will perform the services. Right position to complete the number of points and left the position for the number of odd points. Services from the right position is also done when the number of points is still zero. In the first set of players / pairs who perform services for the specified time pertam sweepstakes, while the next set to be done by the winner from the previous set. To double the party, some different rules apply to the calculation using the points system and the system moved...

Review of Badminton - General

Seious issues fill County General

Advantages: issues
Disadvantages: none

...ER is the hit TV show from the USA which follows the day in day out lives of a group of staff in the emergency room of Country General hospital in Chicago. It is a mix of high energy, ultra-realistic medical scenes and the back-stories of the lives of staff and patients. By this point, the show was very successful, and so the premise was less about grabbing viewers as challenging them. This series develops the story of Jeanie Boulet, the physician?s assistant who previously cared for Peter Benton?s mother before having a brief affair with Peter himself. In this series, Jeanie finds out she has HIV, contracted from her philandering husband, Al. I?ll say no more about the plot, but needless to say the whole season revolves around this issue and the morality surrounding it; should she tell her employers? Should she be able to continue...

Review of E.R. - Series 3 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

My First Scalextric Set

Advantages: Great starter-set
Disadvantages: One is not enough?

... My First Scalextric Set Having seen the Ad on TV and Boy really desparate for one I thought this the best to go for in the way of remote control race track as at 4 he's really not old enough for a big expensive set so he got this for Christmas. Cost us £30 from Toys'r'Us though can be found in many other stores and on-line, the price is about the same everywhere but you may find it a bit cheaper. Age on box states not suitable for under 3 years, due to small parts and functional sharp edges - we haven't found any particularly sharp bits yet ? so unsure which bits that refers to. Also tells you that new controllers may become warm and emit vapour and give off slight smell -this is normal and disappears after use. Nice ! Our first Race.. The track is easy enough to click together, to create a simple figure of eight...

Review of Scalextric My First Scalextric Set

GENERAL Turkish Wine

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

..., in fact if anything it is a somewhat covered up subject due to the country's Islamic roots. There are many good muslim Turks however who drink wine and it is sold widely in the better supermarkets such as Migros (the largest supermarket chain throughout Turkey) although many of the smaller ones don't sell alcohol. Beer is more widely sold however and more easily purchased out of town. (Try EFES - the widely distributed one - as a lager type beer its OK!!!) If you are going to Turkey and like wine, you can breathe a sigh of relief, local red and white wines aren't bad in general. But they ARE VERY EXPENSIVE in the grand order of things - due to high taxes. Consider paying four times more for a comparable wine in France. Dry Red and Dry White Turkish wines are clearly labelled as such on their bottles and a table wine will set...

Wonderful Literary Chick Flick Trilogy Box Set

Advantages: Well acted, Great Book Adaptation Storylines, Fun for All Ages
Disadvantages: Each Movie is About Three Hours Long

...be ignored by the overall storyline. I was slightly disapointed by this third story since it really didn't go by the books my L.M Montgomery at all. The first two movies are at least based on her books , but this movie was almost entirely made up. I was hoping the third movie would follow the other books about Anne as she is grown up with Children. Still, the movie was well made and entertaining. It was good to see the actors again, and the costumes anad attention to detail from the World War I era are fantastic. It's not as good as the first two movies, but well worth a watch. ******Conclusion***** All these movies in the Box Set; Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel , and The Continuing Story, are so much fun. Children around the age of 7 and up will enjoy the first one. While children more around the age of 10 and up would...

Ready, Get Set, Go

Advantages: Favourites from Cbeebies
Disadvantages: None

...Warning if you are a toddler reading this review then it contains spoilers and if you are a toddler reading this review, stop now and go the the Oxford or Cambridge university website and enrol. Now Holly has her own DVD player, we thought it was about time we got her some DVDs to play in it. One of the first DVDs that we purchased was some episodes from her favourite television channel, Cbeebies, which is a BBC channel, available on satellite and Free view, and is aimed at pre-school age children although I think it appeals more to toddlers than anyone else. The channel is quite educational even though a lot of the programmes are animated. It is very good at teaching children from an early age, how to be green by recycling, grow your own vegetables, using less water when cleaning you teeth and generally how to be fit and healthy...

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)

Dead Set - Main Feature Only

Advantages: Brilliantly written, tense, funny and full of seriously OTT gore.
Disadvantages: The "Big Brother is the devil" thing is all a wee bit silly.

...Charlie Brooker's Dead Set is a strange, exceptional, wholly unexpected piece of work. It has all of the misanthropy, bile and spectacularly foul wordplay of his underrated Chris Morris collaboration Nathan Barley, it has all of the wit and the critical smarts of his Guardian column and his BBC4 Screen Wipe, and it has all of the oh-my-God-did-I-just-see-that gore of a hundred Fulci pictures. It is harsh, uncompromising, extraordinarily violent and absolutely hilarious. Brilliant, in other words, although one says that with a few reservations. Originally broadcast as 5 20-odd minute episodes (the 45 minute opener excepted), Dead Set hinges on a fairly novel What If? What If a slew of gut-hungry, brain-craving zombies attacked the Big Brother house mid-series? What would happen, it turns out, is that a handful of housemates...
