GO AND PLAY WITH YOURSELF!

Advantages: Cheap competitve prices, good customer service, fast delivery
Disadvantages: n/a

...search on the Web for the product you want, more often than not, you will find the cheapest price to be Play.com. As an avid PS2 gamer, I often look for the cheapest prices I can find for PS2 games that have just been released. I need not go to the highstreet, because I know that I will be ripped off and I need not visit any other site on the Internet other than Play.com. The latest games usually cost £39.99 in the highstreet, but Play.com usually have them available at £29.99, so price wise you can't go wrong! After online site 'CDWow' were forced to put surcharges on the prices of their CDs (see my Music Industry vs Internet op), Play.com now offer one of the best places to shop for music. Typical albums are roughly £8.99 and they are always doing a 3 for £20 offer on hundreds of excellent CDs (and not just the crap stuff!). Most...

Review of Play.com

going out to play (.com)

Advantages: fast delivery, low prices, kept informed all the way through the transaction
Disadvantages: they keep your credit card details ready for your next purchase?

...pay and why? -- I've done a lot of Christmas shopping online this year and I was looking to buy my girlfriend Muriel's Wedding after she saw it on television. So I went to a price comparison web site and it brought up the cheapest price at play.com. It was £5.99 with no delivery costs, so I added it to my shopping cart and decided to go through with the deal. My second purchase for The Simpsons at Christmas DVD and this was on a separate occasion. I didn't want to go somewhere else where you had to pay to make up an order for free delivery (cough, cough amazon.co.uk). I also didn't want to buy an item that had a low price tag but the delivery costs made the item go up over the price of what the DVD sells for in the shops. The overall cost of my item was £11.99, which was the cheapest I could find! You are given a customer account...

Review of Play.com

Let's go and Play.com

Advantages: Speedy delivery, fantastic customer service
Disadvantages: None

...The festive season is upon us once more, and at this time of year choosing an internet site from which to purchase DVDs, CDs and computer and console games, can be a bit of a minefield. Since discovering play.com some months ago, I no longer spend hours looking through different sites in order to find the best deals, I visit play.com, which can cater for my every need. The layout of the site is simple and uncluttered. Set against a white background, play.com has category listing tabs at the top of the home page, from which it is a simple process to find the items required. The home page will always display a DVD title that has an imminent release date, and will have a countdown marker beside the picture, that displays how many more days are left before the release. Also the Hot Pick lists a DVD title or game title, that is...

Review of Play.com

Wii Play

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...Wii Play: I recently hired Wii play from Tesco DVD Rentals to see if I liked it before buying it and I enjoyed it a lot so I thought I would review it for all of you. Wii Play is the kind of game that is great for when you have a group of friends around with several different mini-games to play. There is a multi-player function allowing for two people to play at once. Because the games are short, (a minute or so max), you can all take it turns to play without anyone getting bored whilst still allowing enough time for toilet/cuppa breaks. There are seven different mini-games on Wii Play and these are: Shooting Range: This is my favourite game and it involves shooting at various moving targets. There are five levels each with a different type of target each getting steadily more difficult. There are balloons, cans, targets, clay...

Review of Wii Play (Wii)

Wii Play

Advantages: Fun game and you get a remote
Disadvantages: Expensive if you don't require another remote

...ages: You get the game free with a remote! Disadvantages: The game can't be bought on its own! I havea recently spent time with my family where I was introduced to the Wii. The Wii game Wi Play is a game which you can get for the Nintendo Wii, its one of the only games which comes with a Wii Remote included. As you pay around the same price for a remote as for this game with remote it is really like getting a free game. The game consists of 12 mini games, which you unlock as you go along. The games seemed to me to be to play and we did have a lot of fun fun! Two people can play the games together.. Suitable for adults, children ( and wrinklies like me) the controls can be picked up easily and quickly - even for me. None of the games include throwing the wii remote around like wii sports, so there is not much danger...

Lets play

Advantages: Fun to play, 9 games to play
Disadvantages: none

...different characters, table tennis, match mii's pose, laser hockey, billiards, fishing, cow racing and a tank game. With all these games you can play with up to 2 people. My favourite games are the shooting range game, billiards and the cow racing game. The shooting range game is a game where you can play by yourself or with another person. You use the wii remote and aim at your television screen aiming at targets. The targets change through the game and go from ordinary looking archey like targets to shooting at alien spaceships (UFO's) that are trying to take people up into space. The game is fun on your own as you are trying to beat your personal records and also trying to earn a higher medal. But this game is much better with two players as you try to beat each other at shooting down the tagets and getting more points. The cow...

Go And Play!!!*

Advantages: the most spectacular resort in the world
Disadvantages: absolutely none

...the weather is noramally wonderful. It is accesible by bus, coach, car and has its own trin station, and if you wish to flydrive Reus airport is within 10 minutes of the park. In general Universal Mediteranean Port Aventura is the most amazing theme park I have ever visited and if you never visit it you are without a doubt missing the treat of a life time. I can only hope everyone has the chance to visit it and experience the amazing theme park and other facilities, so as their slogan goes, "go and play!" I hope you found this review helpful and should you require any more information please leave a comment and I will update the review accordingly. Thanks....

Review of Porta Ventura Theme Park, Salou

Travel play

Advantages: Handy for travelling
Disadvantages: Tiny pieces

...Snakes and Ladders Handy for travelling, I picked up this game at the airport, hoping to while away some of the flight. ~~Product and Packaging.~~ The game is inside a small tin measuring about 12cm square and only about 1cm thick- hard to imagine how a whole game fits inside something so small but indeed it does. It's a jolly red tin with the name of the game written clearly on the front and a picture of the contents on the back. Open up the tin and inside there are 6 different coloured magnetic counters; the snakes and ladders game itself is on the inside of the tin. The full instructions are on the inside lid as well. For anyone unsure as to how to play this traditional game the rules are clearly written with a couple of illustrations to give the novice a clear understanding of how to play the game. I won't go into...

Review of GoPlay Magnetic Travel Snakes & Ladders

Wii Play and remote

Advantages: comes with a remote! Great for kids.
Disadvantages: the game can't be bought on its own.

...This is a game which you can get for the Nintendo Wii, its one of the only games which comes with a Wii Remote included. The wii remotes are arond £30 depending where you get them from (prices do differ from place to place), and this game is around £30 itself, with the wii remote. SO what I have deducted from that is that Wii Play is a game which comes free with the remote itself rather than the other way round. Wii Play is a very short game, it consists of 12 mini games, which you unlock as you go along. The games are very easy to play and they are very very fun! They can all be played in multiplayer mode, but only up to two people can play at one time. The games are suitable for children as well as adults and are very easy use, the controls can be picked up easily and quickly making it a greart game for the kids as you can...

Review of Wii Play (Wii)

wii play

Advantages: great if you need a new remote
Disadvantages: games could be better

...This game comes with a Wii contoller and this is the only thing that the game has going for it, but then i did not expect that much for around a fiver. It retails for around 40 pounds and that is for the wii remote and the game where as the remote on its own retails at 33 pounds so there really is not that much difference and you get a game with it as well. You have 9 games on Wii play which vary from Tanks, Laser Hockey, Table Tennis, Shooting Range, Billiards and Fishing these can be single or two player. This game is great for the kids and it would keep them entertained for hours and all the games are simple to play and the remote is easy to use, but when this game comes to adults i would not recommend it unless you are new to the wii and want to get use to the wireless remote control with games that are not too challenging...
