Advantages: Superb graphics for a handheld, fast and smooth, 40+ tournaments Disadvantages: Collisions are still a bit duff, A.I. is nothing to write home about
...Playing Ridge Racer really rams home just how far handheld gaming has come in such a short time. As a technical showpiece for the PSP, it?s a hugely impressive launch title and more importantly, feels completely at home on a portable. It makes for an exhilarating arcade racing experience, rekindling memories of a golden era when Namco?s flagship racer was at the forefront of console gaming.
Rather than an out and out new instalment, Ridge Racer consists mostly of elements featured in previous instalments of the franchise. It has two tracks from each of the four original PlayStation incarnations as well as the arcade-only Rave Racer, plus two new ones adapted from this game. So, if you?ve been counting that?s a dozen racetracks, plus a dozen more thanks to the as-ever amply used reverse courses. Almost without exception the tracks are...

Review of Ridge Racer (PSP)
Advantages: Some decent moments, somehow kept me watching until the end Disadvantages: Mostly really bad across the board
...This is a DVD I picked up for £1 a couple of years ago. I suppose the price should have told me something, but I gave it a shot, hoping to have found a bit of a gem.
Face of Terror follows Nick Harper as he tries to find his missing sister in Barcelona. While travelling from the States to Spain without permission from his boss, cop Nick finds himself in even more hot water when he arrives in Europe to find that his sister had fallen in with the wrong crowd. As he trawls through dodgy photographers, drug dealers and terrorists, Nick realises he must have his wits about him if he is to find his sister before he loses his life.
Ultimately, it's distinctly average in nearly every way. with a pretty mundane plot, some terrible acting, and some bad timing in the editing stakes. And yet, strangely, there's something intriguing about it...
Advantages: A very informative, up-to-date account of the purges. Disadvantages: Not for everyone, requires some basic knowledge.
...The Great Terror is an extensive book on Stalin's purges during the years 1934 and 1939. It not only focuses on why they happened but how Stalin was able to take power and then crush his opponents.
The Great Terror was originally written in 1968, at this time much of Conquest?s sources were unofficial. With the event of glasnost much more evidence was given to historians. Therefore, in his reassessment, published in 1990, Conquest concentrates on updating his account and clarifying points.
The book is divided into three books: The Purge Begins, The Yezov Years and The Aftermath. These are then broken down into chapters to make it easier to read.
The Purge Begins looks at the roots of the terror and Conquest goes on to examine how Stalin crushed all opposition after the death of Lenin. The only way in which he could...
Advantages: Decent session ale Disadvantages: Not to complex
...What's this? A review about how Al-Qaeda have infiltrated the ranks of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders?
- I'd like to see them try.
Perhaps it concerns a windy day and men in kilts?
- Hmm, that does sound quite frightening.
Or even the news that 70's glam-rock legends, the Bay City Rollers are reforming?
- shudder
Nah. The fact that this is a beer review should've given you some sort of clue as to the source of the title.
Still not worked it out? My, you're slow. It's a beer. A beer I came across (figuratively speaking) last Friday evening.
You know me. I find a beer I've never seen before and it's down my neck before the bartender has a chance to check whether the cash I just gave him is fake or not.
And so it was that I came to be drinking a beer called Tartan Terror from the Houston Brewery.
They started...

Review of Tartan Terror
Advantages: Good exhibits and broad coverage of the history Disadvantages: Political bias, English explanations could be better
...Situated at 60 Andrassy Boulevard, the main thoroughfare of Budapest in a beautiful, elegant building Terror House is impossible to miss. The building hs a large grey metal strip attatched to the top and letters reading TERROR HOUSE stamped out of it in imposing block script. If the aim is to make the house which served as the headquarters of the Red Arrow Party (Hungarian Fascists) and then the Hungarian Communist Party stand out then it is certainly successful. However, I couldn't help but feel that it was also a little tasteless and a sign that the museum concentrates more on the shocking and the macabre than on the broader story of this indeed brutal period of the country's history.
The aim of the terror museum is to commemorate the victims of both the Red Arrow and Communist regimes as well as trying to 'present a picture of what...

Review of House of Terror
Advantages: Small, quiet, fast boot times Disadvantages: Not for dedicated gamers
...Introduction
As a company, we probably have about 2000 Dell PCs situated across all sites. I have had the Optiplex GX520 for almost a year now without any problem of any description. Mine is primarily used for writing software with Visual Studio and writing database code in MS SQL Server which affects millions of rows of data. These applications would really test the machine to the limits but how would it perform? As this machine was bought as part of a batch, the price paid would not be the same as you would pay for a single unit. I would expect to pay around the £500 mark if buying from the Dell website.
Looks
The Optiplex comes in Dells standard black coloured case. On the front there is a DVD Rom / CDRW drive and a floppy disk drive (which is a rarity these days, mine has never been used). Add to this 2 USB2...
Advantages: Wild racing, smooth, decent soundtrack Disadvantages: Poorly realised format and modes, pop-up and laggy graphics
...*A review primarily based on the single-player experience.*
Unfortunately, I didn't have the instruction manual for Rapid Racer, and information on the internet was lacking, so I imagine I figured out the format of this powerboat checkpoint racer the long (and hard) way.
In the 'One Race' competition, as well as avoiding being timed out, it is necessary to finish first to unlock stuff and thus progress. On top of these requirements, five yellow powerups are to be collected in the course of a race for a boat upgrade. This is tricky - it's not so much the handling of the powerboats rather the reading, and riding of the waves which is difficult to predict. Then there's the Bonus round to tackle which, though much easier, players can equally mess up and miss out on an upgrade - however players are given three attempts. It's hard to see...
Advantages: Blindingly Fast Speeds Disadvantages: HARD!
...F-Zero GX is an amazing futuristic racer that puts you in the cockpit of a racing hovercar from, like, the year 3333, and lets you loose at speeds of up to 2500+ km/h!!!!
I pre-ordered F-Zero GX about a month before it's release. 10 days after the release it finally arrived. This was all the fault of the postal strike. But, my friend pre-ordered Rouge Squadron 3: Rebel Strike, which came out the same day, and got it on the day of release! How is that fair?!
But when I got it, it was well worth the wait. I got home from school, and popped the disc straight into the 'Cube. I watched with bated breath as the Nintendo and then Sega Logos came up.
Then, I got my first taste of SERIOUS SPEED! I watched the opening video and felt my jaw drop.
And I wasn't even playing yet!
There is no way to describe the sensation, the flat out...
Advantages: That it is a racing game Disadvantages: That when you are bored you get even more bored when you are 12th place
...Ridge racer
Welcome to my review about ridge racer (PSP), it is a very good game for racing and it has very easy controls. I am a big fan of racing games and this one is very good for playing. The popular ridge racer series hasn't yet lost its touch when it comes to the production for the PSP, the gameplay stays up after all these years and the game Makes you want to play it again so it is not very addictive but some people like it more than I do so they get more addictive than me!!!!.
It makes you to pay attention to the race and you get addicted to it when you have just started the race. It has a lot of detail that makes the game good, it is playable. The game is very easy so you should not lose. You can discover how to start the game and play before you see the. There are lots of version of this game of other game consoles...

Review of Ridge Racer (PSP)
Advantages: none Disadvantages: innocent people dying
...Although I am not a terrorist I do have a bit pf personal experience regarding terrorism during my days serving queen and country, especially in Northern Ireland, which was a little rough for a British Squaddie at the time??although this really hit home during my civilian days when a few friend and myself were visiting a certain city in in June of 1996... Having passed a normal looking white truck on Corporation Street only minutes earlier? wondering what the woman police officer who were rushing towards us, waving there arms, wanted with us? (although we could tell from her face that it wasn't for suspicion of shoplifting)
To be perfectly honest, the explosion that day was without doubt the loudest I had ever heard in my life, and considering I had heard quite a few during my time as a squaddie that is saying something?
There are so...
