Biorb - The Hi Tec Fish Bowl

Advantages: Easy to maintain - eyecatching design
Disadvantages: Bit more pricey than normal aquariums

...I had always wanted an aquarium but thought that it would be too much trouble to set up and look after. I entered a competition on the web to win an aquarium and lo and behold I actually won one. An aquarium called a Biorb made by a company called Reef One. With this aquarium there was a difference. The Biorb combines the looks of a traditional gold fish bowl with the performance of a hi-tech aquarium. It holds 30 litres of water and has it's own built in filtration system which provides maximum benefits to both the fish and the fish keeper. The globe shaped design is truly eye-catching and very stylish. It is made out of Plexiglas acrylic which is nearly 10 times stronger than glass and because of its large water capacity it provides the fish with approximately 10 times more space than a traditional bowl. The filtration...

Review of Reef One Biorb

The Chameleon's Shadow

Advantages: Gripping from the start, interesting characters
Disadvantages: Thought the ending may have been more explosive

...I recently had all my shifts changed at work which means that I ended up working 6 weeks of nights - ouch! Knowing that work was going to be quiet and therefore fairly boring, I asked my Dad to recommend me a couple of good books. The Chameleon's Shadow by Minette Walters was one of them. The Author Minette Walters is often referred to as the 'queen of the psychological thriller' and after reading several of her books, you will see that this is a title she deserves. The Chameleon's Shadow is her 12th psychological thriller. Some of her other books include Acid Row, Fox Evil, The Ice House, The Sculptress and The Dark Room. Some of her stories have been turned into films or TV series. The Story Lieutenant Charles Acland life is literally turned upside down when a roadside bomb hits his vehicle while they are serving in Iraq...

Review of The Chameleon's Shadow - Minette Walters

A Welcoming Shadow

Advantages: Quite a dark and involving story
Disadvantages: Not terribly visual

...In fantasy more than any other genre, the line between writing for adults and writing for children is incredibly blurred. The only obvious differences are that in writing for younger readers, the heroes tend to be younger, there are more human-like characters and fewer names with too many apostrophes and too few vowels compared to fantasy novels aimed at adults. There are very few differences between the plotlines and the stories themselves. Having written for adults prior to this, author Thomas Wharton would know this better than I. I know nothing of his work for adults, but if it's as good as "The Shadow of Malabron", it has to be worth checking out. Will Lightfoot, isn't happy with his life. His mother died three years ago and he is uprooted from his home to move across the country for his father's new job. It's a chance to move on...

LIVING IN THE SHADOW

Advantages: Good looking game, good ideas, range of characters, price
Disadvantages: Poor controls and viewing angels, lack of effort in making game, weak link in franchise

...Nothing sparks great memories more than my classic days of Sonic the Hedgehog (not be confused with the new next generation title of the same name). The 2d platform game with the blue hedgehog was the first game I ever played on a games console. This was great little game as was the predecessors that came out in the coming years. I even remember playing the equivalent titles for consoles like the Sega Master System and Game Gear. I still hold these games with fond affection so when saw this title on the shelves of my local video games store I just had to buy it for old times sake. ~ The Game ~ In this game you take control of Shadow, a hedgehog (as the title suggests). Shadow is a black hedgehog with red markings and is based in the same Universe of walking talking action animal characters as portrayed in the Sonic Team Universe...

How the other half drive

Advantages: The interior, the luxury, majestic nobility
Disadvantages: Mpg, better to be driven in that to drive, running costs

...public ownership until they were privatised in 1987. Most Rolls Royce & Bentley cars were near identical except for the grilles & badges until 2002. To this day most of the cars Rolls Royce have built over the last 100 years are still running & their reputation for building the worlds finest cars still stands albeit with very stiff competition. Royce died in 1933 & although the company survived the depression, World War 2 & those difficult times in 1973, the Rolls Royce of today has no link with the original company at all bar the name which BMW paid £40 million for. ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SHAWDOW In 1965 the new Rolls Royce Silver Shadow was introduced, it came as a four door saloon, two door coupe & later on as a convertible. Originally it was fitted with a 6200cc V-8 engine but later on that was increased to a 6700cc V-8, all the models...

Shadow of Memories

Advantages: Great premise, well developed characters, multiple plot paths.
Disadvantages: Easy solutions, unwarranted repitition.

...Eike Kusch has just died. Murdered while strolling through the German town of Lebensbaum, he shall never know the motive behind the murder. Or at least he shouldn't, but he awakens in a bizarre, inter-dimensional realm where a disembodied voice offers him the chance to go back in time and prevent his death. Despite initial misgivings about the intentions of his mysterious saviour, who admits a vested interest in Eike's survival, he accepts and wakes up in a coffee shop with a time travel device, half an hour before he is destined to die. The race is on. And what follows as he puts off the first attempt on his life, manipulating the past to secure his future, makes up the first of ten chapters in Konami's 2001 PS2 adventure game, Shadow of Memories (Shadow of Destiny in the US). This chapter sets a general template for the game: after...

The Shadow spreads into the movie world

Advantages: Nice little mystery, some funny moments.
Disadvantages: Where is The Shadow?

...In 1937, the year the movie was made, The Shadow was a megastar. Bigger than Indiana Jones and James Bond are now The Shadow was a star of a long running radio series, which started in 1930 and starred Orson Welles for a good number of episodes, and a hugely popular pulp magazine. Written by Maxwell Grant his adventures thrilled and enthralled millions of listeners and readers. With this sort of built in audience it wasn?t going to be long before a studio signed up the rights to the character and exported him to the movie scene. Grand National Pictures were the ones who decided they would try and make a B movie series from the mysterious cloaked avenger whose catchphrase was ?Who Knows What evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!? and who had strange mystical powers that seemed to make him a human shadow...

Review of Hi5.com

Silver Tower

Advantages: Definitely action-packed! (+) a good, shorter read (+) enjoyable (+) not typical characters
Disadvantages: takes a little while to get going (-) slightly dated (-) limited space/science knowledge in parts

...the technological details he uses throughout. The majority - if not all - of Brown's work is set in near future periods. His novels have gained him several awards, probably the most notable being New York Times Bestseller! He studied Western European History at Penn State University and had a commission in the US Air Force in 1978. He was awarded many times during his time in the armed forces. This is probably related to his famous hobby and love of space and science! He currently lives in Lake Tahoe, Nevada with his wife and son and even owns a private jet! BASIC DETAILS ABOUT THE BOOK I only own the paperback version of Silver Tower; it is 400 pages in length which, in my opinion, is a sufficient amount for something you just want to pick up and read as a very short-term 'project', so to speak. It didn't take me long to complete...

Review of Silver Tower - Dale Brown

GUARANTEED TO STUN MRS BADGER AT 10 PACES......

Advantages: Erm.......long lasting fragrance
Disadvantages: Heavy fragrance, stuns anything with a pulse within 10 feet, unimaginative bottle, price

...Silver Shadow was not a fragrance I had ever heard of until the nice people at Davidoff decided they would send me 10ml bottles of both the pure blend Eau de Toilette and regular Eau de Toilette as I purchase numerous items from them direct. Despite the difference in name and price between the two blends, ultimately there is very little difference and therefore no need to have two categories. For the record I will be reviewing my thoughts on the pure blend Eau de Toilette, which normally comes in both 50ml and 100ml bottles that don't contain an atomiser. Prices range wildly as you would expect from online and high street retailers. Normally a 100ml bottle would cost in the region of £33 online with prices on the high street approaching the £40 mark. By no stretch of the imagination is Silver Shadow an affordable product when...
