Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

The GAMEware component cable spices up the Wii's HD graphics.

Advantages: Improves the graphical quality of games, Cheaper than the official cable.
Disadvantages: I suppose some people will unfairly compare the Wii and the 360/PS3 graphics and be disappointed?

..., asking him to guess whether the picture he was looking at was with the component cable or the regular cable. I repeated this test three times to see if there was a major difference, he guessed correct in time and there is an obvious difference when it is used. I have heard from some that the component cable has no effect on screens under a certain size (30inch or less), this is crazy talk! With games with mediocre graphics it made them look sharper and more colourful, however where it really improved things was with already great looking games, such as Super Mario Galaxy. The already amazing and clear graphics were notched insignificantly, everything looks more colourful and crystal clear and for lack of a better way to describe it, it looks like more information is being shown on screen. I am no graphics junkie, but even I could fully...

Review of Wii Component Cable

Wii component cable- Well worth the money

Advantages: sharper/brighter picture, opens up more ports on TV, saves hassle.
Disadvantages: quite expensive for a simple console improvement

...The Nintendo Wii component video cable really is a sound investment if you are the owner of an HD/ LCD TV, and obviously a nintendo Wii. Before i bought it, i had trouble with the picture quality and contrast on many of the games. Games such as Wii Sports were fine, but more of the action/adventure games such as Zelda or Splinter Cell give a very dark picture which can sometimes be hard to make out what was happening. The only way i could combat this problem was to adjust the contrast on my television which did help, but was alot of hassle. With the component cable, the picture is not only much brighter, but much sharper and defined. It gets rid of the hassle of having to turn the contrast back down after playing on the Wii and improves the overall gaming experiance. Another bonus is that on your HD TV, this cable plugs into...

As for Alex, he makes a point of never being into anyone because he just can't handle it, and Mary... well...

Review of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe - Vol. 1 (Animated) (DVD)

He's Just Not That Into You

Advantages: Chilled Out Chick Flick Good For A Girls Night In For A One Off
Disadvantages: Not A Riveting Storyline - Can Get A Bit Tedious!... Rent DVD not buy!

...'He's Just Not That Into You' makes single ladies everywhere ask themselves - "Are you the exception... or are you the rule?" The movie follows the love-lives of several ladies and gents in the Baltimore area, who are all somehow connected. Each of them journey through trials and tribulations regarding the opposite sex. Secret Affairs. Ruined Marriages. Dates. Rejection. Mixed Signals. No More Sex. And that question we all want answering.. Why Hasn't He Called? The main feature of the film tends to focuss on typical player Alex, who believes there is a no-fail system in the way men think and act, whilst filling in Gigi on the rules, an unexpected romance blossoms. Here we have a typical all round Chick flick. According to my man sources, it's not one for the guys. It is a very laid back and light hearted...

Review of He's Just Not That Into You

He Kills Coppers by Jake Arnott

Advantages: It's a compelling story for those who enjoy bleak themes.
Disadvantages: The multiple voices could be a tad confusing.

...This is a darkly brooding crime novel dominated by a feeling of quiet desperation, a feeling that is generated through the lives of the three lead characters. Jake Arnott does an excellent job of recreating the mood and attitudes of London in 1966, giving the mood an avid, energetic atmosphere. It's an optimistic tone with which to open and one that is squashed pretty quickly. Arnott tells the story through the voices of his three main characters who, although they’re not exactly the good, the bad and the ugly, they each contain a little of those qualities. Frank Taylor is a cop desperate to advance up the ranks of the police force but is all too aware of the corruption within the ranks and can't quite remove himself from the taint; Tony Meehan is a writer, a freelance journalist, but he harbours dark and very disturbing...

Review of He Kills Coppers - Jake Arnott

He has done it again...

Advantages: Great sexy smell, stylish appearance
Disadvantages: Price (depending on where you shop)

...Launched in 1998. The Armani production line often introduces his and hers fragrances, as is the case for this particular one. Armani He is a natural, sparkling blend of Japanese yuzu, sage and cardamom which is blended with precious woods and warm musks. Mood: Natural, refined and dynamic. He is a mossy, woody fragrance. The low notes of musk and woods are blended with vetiver and spicy top notes. Price: Boots - 30ml Spray = £26 - 50ml Spray = £36 - 100ml Spray = £48 Amazon - 100ml Aftershave Splash = £26.95 - 50ml Spray = £26.49 - 100ml Spray = £32.90 So, amazon is by far the cheapest. However some good bargains can be picked up on eBay. The packaging is different and therefore good, as is the bottle. The bottle is nice...

Review of Armani He Eau de Toilette Spray

Cheap components

Advantages: Delivered when stated
Disadvantages: Cheap build

...I build PC's for a living so when it came to replacing my own PC I thought 'sod it, I'll get someone else to do it'. The main reason I went for Cube is the fact that they would let me add components to my own system rather than have the rule that most companies have where if you open the case you void the warranty. I also checked with them that if something did need replacing they would be happy for me to send the faulty part to them and they send the repIacement to me to fit myself rather than having to send the whole PC away. I have to say that after spending £1300 approx on my system I wasn't very impressed. Firstly, I know the case isn't everything but when you spend that much money on a system you expect it to at least look good. My case looks and is very average. Secondly, the specs stated a deluxe Intel motherboard so I...
