Advantages: Brilliant graphics,Realistic car handling,Addictive,400 + Cars, 100 + Track variations Disadvantages: Multiplayer is disappointing, Long loading times, Extra cars are on second disk it takes up 1.9GB
...I am a gamer and have been looking forward to playing this game so I collected my pre order from Game last week.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Best graphics seen on an Xbox racing game
The cars handling is realistic
Easy to pick up and play
Very addictive
Car customization is great
Over 400 cars to choose from
More than 100 track variations
Cons
Does not have the wow factor that original Forza Motorsport had
The extra cars and tracks are on a second disk some users could have problems installing the content from the disk
Multiplayer could be better
Long loading times
My opinion
Forza Motorsport 3 is developed by Turn 10 Studios. It?s this third installment into the Forza gaming series.
The first thing that you will notice about Forza 3 is how good the game looks, I was disappointed with the graphics in Forza 2 and knew that they...

The Sims 3
The new and improved Sims game where you can now explore your neighbourhood without a blue loading sign popping up on screen.
Did we really need the luxury of having your sims walk arround the neighbourhood themselves?
In my opinion I think not. If I am honest with you, on the previous Sims games, when you orderd your sims to leave there home plot a blue loading screen would appear. Now this screen would annoy me so much and felt as though it was taking forever. After playing both the Sims 2 & the Sims 3 I would prefer the blue loading screen back. The game now i feel is to complicated.
Installing the game was very straight forward no problems at all, I knew i would have to make some space for it, 6.1GB of hard disk to be exact...

Review of The Sims 3 (PC)
Advantages: Seamless, traits, Sims are better looking Disadvantages: Hard to keep track of, game play more complicated
..., etc etc. This does add a whole new realm of gameplay to it, though it takes some getting used to. You can't actually see inside all of the community lots, however with some such as the library or the gym you can. You are also able to buy more specific things now - for example, there is a book shop so you can buy a specific book, or you can buy specific ingrediants to make different meals. It's easy to move from one Sim to the next, although having Sims in various places around the neighborhood obviously makes it harder to keep track of them than if they were all sitting around the house. There is no lag whatsoever however. You can literally follow your Sim as they run to the grocery store or the beach, with no loading screens or anything like that. Oddly, Sims 3 actually runs much faster on my laptop than Sims 2 did!
The actual...

Review of The Sims 3 (PC)
Advantages: New careers; personality traits; Great graphics and speed on my laptop Disadvantages: Lack of choices within Create-A-Sim; Could be slow on some users PC's/laptop's
...So, The Sims 3. If you're here, you've probably played The Sims before, and are thinking about buying the latest game. Or maybe you're someone who has never played any of The Sims games before and are interested about it. I hope to give you a detailed review weighing up both advantages and disadvantages of the product, which will hopefully guide you into making a decision on whether to purchase it for yourself or not.
A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFO
From what I believe, the very first edition of The Sims (which I will abbreviate to "TS"), was released in 2002. It was fairly simple compared to what we have now in 2009, but nevertheless, still an amazing game even by today's standards! There have been three "base" games - The Sims 1 (TS1), The Sims 2 (TS2) and now The Sims 3 (TS3). You could get various "expansion packs" for both TS1...

Review of The Sims 3 (PC)
Advantages: Good multi-player facilities Disadvantages: Needs patients to master the difficult levels
...My brother got Guitar Hero III from the Nintendo Wii at Christmas and although this isn?t the sort of game that I would usual play, it being Christmas and all I did have a go with him. I am so pleased that the festive season made me give this game a shot because I really enjoyed playing it and have since then been found playing the game on my own.
Guitar Hero has a very simple premise and that is to progress through the game by successfully playing the tracks for each gig. The game is played using the wii remote alone. The wii remote can be connected into the wii guitar for more realistic playing or used on its own, although this I found to be trickier.
As each track plays through coloured circles, and lines if the note is to be played longer, scroll down the screen. In order to successfully complete a track you must press...
Advantages: Rumble, can be imported Disadvantages: Not out in the UK yet
...I bought this controller on eBay for around £40. They are meant to be coming out early this year. I ordered a white version because everyone has the standard black controllers. Considering that the normal PS3 SIXAXIS Controllers are around £35 new, it is cheap for what you are getting. This controller will be available in both black and white.
There is only 1 big difference between the SIXAXIS and the Dualshock 3 controllers. This is that the Dualshock 3s have a vibration unit that gives the user feedback in some games. For example in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, when you go on the curb of the track, it rumbles until you get off it, just like driving on one in real life.
You would expect the controller's battery life to be greatly reduced because of all the extra rumbling. So far I have been using it for quite a while, and I have been...
Advantages: Good mix of songs, doesn't push Cheryl's voice, suits her, easy to listen to Disadvantages: Only 10 tracks, too much Will.i.am
...release. It's the title track from the album and is called 3 Words. The song feature Will.I.Am on equal vocals with Cheryl, and is a surprisingly heartfelt one. You can sense the emotion coming from Cheryl and I wasn't surprised to read that she had written this one herself... it's clearly about her and her husband, but it's a very catchy song and sure to be a hit. Another song that follows on with the love theme and also written by Cheryl is the third song, Heaven. It again features Will.I.Am and I very much like the verses of this one, they are very tuneful and easy to listen to but the choruses don't really do it for me.
The whole album has an upbeat feel to it, and a few of the tracks really emphasise that dancey feeling. "Rain On Me" is probably the out and out pop number of the album, with a belting chorus that has Cheryl pushing out...
Advantages: Enjoyable, Easy to learn, Play on multiple levels, hours of play time. Disadvantages: That you must complete a certain level to acess some songs.
...Years ago my friend, Henri, introduced me to Guitar Hero and I was hooked. Unfortunatally I only had a PC so I had just admire Guitar Hero from afar. Then when my house bought a Wii I just new that I had to get Guitar Hero and I was even luckier because HMV was selling it for £35 compared to the original and expensive £70. I have also seen it in CEX (The second hand electronic store), but it was expensive there as well at £60.
For my £35 pounds I got: 1x Wireless Guitar, 1X Wii Game Disc (Legends of rock), 1X sheet of stickers to personalise the guitar.
"Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock" is a sequeal in the Guitar Hero (GH) series. Others include GH Metallica, GH ... The game disc is compatible with Guitar Hero Wii Guitars and so could be purchased separatly as just an addition to your GH collection. The best place to buy the game...
Advantages: Pretty cheap for what you're getting. Disadvantages: Need to have a 3G phone before you can use the SIM, tech support can be difficult
...Following my move to Nottingham, and a new fiancee and a new house I decided a new mobile contract would be in order since I'd had my previous one taken off me when I decided to bail out of the Northwest. The problem was I already had a phone (Sony Ericsson W595) that I actually liked so I decided to look for a SIM only deal.
The one that caught my eye was a 3 £15 deal. For the deal I got 300 any network minutes, 3000 texts and 2000 3 to 3 minutes as well as free Skype. Now I decided that I also needed the internet max package to allow me to go on Facebook and YouTube for when I had long train journeys which bumped the whole package up to £20. Not a bad deal, because if I'd gone with the PAYG option (which was seriously tempting) I'd have forked out that a month anyway. The thing that was tempting was that it was what is known as...

Review of 3 Mobile
Advantages: Ok game if you havent play the two other Guitar Hero Games Disadvantages: The game has become more commercialised
...Guitar Hero 3 is a decent game with new play modes and the new guitar hero battles added in the career play mode, however I think that this game isnt as good as Guitar Hero 1 and 2 as it seems to have sold out and changed up a few things to make it a more popular game.
Guitar Hero 3 is easier to play in my opinion, especially hammer ons and pull offs are easier and game play on expert even seems slower to me. The games songs style has changed, there is no longer a long list of lethal rock and metal songs, the song list in this game is more commercialised so as to suit a larger range of people, which may be good for business but I dont think has inproved the game.
The song list on this game is:
Lay Down- Preistess
Paint it Black- The Rolling Stones
The Metal- Tenacious D
3's and 7's- Queens of the Stoneage
Knights...
