Deadly impact

Advantages: Special effects
Disadvantages: none

...During the late nineties, there were a couple of American big budget films made about an asteroid heading towards Earth. Deep Impact was one of these movies. Deep Impact is about a comet that is on a collision course with Earth and will result in mass destruction and extinction of the human race. A news reporter Jenny Lerner (Tea Leoni), stumbles upon this story by accident, whilst investigating a high level government officials, suspicious resignation. The US Preseident, Tom Beck (Morgan Freeman), initiates a plan to launch a spaceship into orbit to attempt to destroy the comet into smaller safer pieces. As a back-up plan, he also randomly selects 1 million people who will relocate to specially designed caves in order to save the population from extinction. This is a decent film and has some good characters, including Elijah Wood...

Review of Deep Impact (DVD)

Samsung NC10 Review

Advantages: Good battery life, nice screen, near enough a full size keyboard
Disadvantages: small-ish trackpad

...I recieved this netbook for christmas and all i can say is 'wow'! My background with computers is vast having built many and installed multiple operating systems on each, however i have never owned a laptop. Therefore i was a little dubious about some of the things such as keyboard size, processing power and battery life. I was looking for a laptop which is very small in physical size while packing a punch so it could still carry out multiple tasks. Buying a full size (15.4") laptop seemed a bit pointlesss as i have two tower pc's which are my main machines, so this was just to be about casual surfing/ reading emails/ browsing while on the move. The Samsung NC10 is in my view one of the very best netbooks out there, the keyboard is just shy of being full size so no cramped typing (this review was written on it) Combine this...

Samsung NC10 Netbook

Advantages: Lots of connectivity - Big keyboard - excellent screen - Good spec
Disadvantages: bad sleeve to store netbook - battery life not that long - small touchpad

...I managed to pick up this netbook for £299 which is oustanding value - from play.com. The netbook is very light and can fit almost anywhere - it is very easy to carry around - you can set up anywhere and very easily connect to the internet where available. The netbook looks very stylish and everything is laid out well. The keyboard is the biggest i have ever seen on a netbook - its almost full size which is a bonus as I have a lot of typing to do. One disadvantage of this is that the mousepad has been made very small which is a nuisance - you do get used to it but it is not ideal. The specs for this netbook are impressive I mean a massive 160GB hard drive, a 10.2 inch screen. 1 GB of RAM and a 1.6GHZ intel atom processor. This spec allows the netbook to operate very fastly - the whole 6 months I have had this netbook - it has...

Review of Samsung NC10

Samsung NC10 Black netbook a lightweight and excellent netbook

Advantages: Great screen, excellent battery life,
Disadvantages: Poor speakers, personal headphones or additional speakers definitely help

...I bought my NC10 to replace my laptop which was just too heavy to be carrying to and from work everyday. I purchased my NC10 on a promotion weekend from a high street store beating online prices significantly. I was trying to avoid big bulky items to carry as I was on crutches at the time. Not recommended but straight out of box into my rucksack in the shop from which it was purchased. Didn't notice much weight difference in my bag at all. The Samsung NC10 has served me dilligently now being used more and more instead of my normal laptop as battery life is excellent. I use the NC10 round the house for coursework, work and even during my work lunch. The screen is bright and very easy to read, I primarily use the NC10 at home for surfing the net to shop and for music in the background. I have an extensive playlist on Spotify...

The Perfect Laptop/Netbook For Anyone - Samsung NC10

Advantages: Lightweight, Small, Large Screen, Great Quality
Disadvantages: Not the Best battery life

...an ethernet cable to get wired internet if you do not have the option of connecting to a wireless network where you are. The keys are a great size, touch pad is not too sensitive nor too hard to use. I personally find the NC10 a grea little netbook, very portable and easy to use....

FIFA 10

Advantages: Hours of Play, Smooth Gameplay, Variety
Disadvantages: Commentary, Glitches (See review)

...and again, this doesn't seem to be a problem this year. The sound quality still isn't very good though. All of your stats are still saved within your 'Player HUB' and online leaderboards are there as always. The leaderboards at the moment appear to rank the top 10,000 in the world and top 10,000 in each country. At the moment I'm ranked around 7000 in GB, but don't have a ranking spot in the world rankings. 10v10 Team Play is still here. You can now play friends more easily. Previously when I wanted to play with just my friends I had to create a room then start as quick as possible without anyone else joining (there may have been an easier way), but now you can invite your friends to a private game. Nothing could really have been improved here unless they included the goalkeeper or substitutes, so when you're fed up with your real friends...

Review of FIFA 10 (PS3)

THIS ALBUM HAD A LOT OF IMPACT!

Advantages: Tight musicianship, riff-fest, aggressive-ness is displayed well, lyrics fit in with the music
Disadvantages: Variation is needed in the album

...bought Impact for its high reviews and I wasn't disappointed at all. The aggressive brutality of ' 'Acts of Rage' 'starts off at the first second, not wasting a second with slow and calm openings; no, that is not worth it on this album! If you're going to open up an album, start it off with the most memorable and headbang-able track, which is what I would say that Dew-Scented has done here. In comparison to their other works; I sensed this was much more technical achievement and they took a slightly more maturer approach to their songs. The riffs are in full flow here and it is unrelentless! 1. Acts of Rage 2. New Found Pain 3. Destination Hell 4. Soul Poison 5. Cities of the Dead 6. Down my neck 7. One by One 8. Agony Designed 9. Slaughtervein 10. Flesh Reborn 11. 18 hours. 'New Found Pain' is a pretty thrash...

Review of Impact - Dew-Scented

Delonghi DEM 10

Advantages: Efficient
Disadvantages: None

...Our large, four bedroom house is over 200 years old and therefore has no cavity walls to insulate. After a cold and damp 2008 summer we were suffering from condensation and mould problems in spite of extractor fans in both kitchen and bathroom. Time to dehumidify! We bought our DEM 10 at Curry's for £99.99. It is compact, easily moved with a fold-out top carry handle and absolutely idiot proof in use. The level of humidity that the unit will pull down to can be controlled via a knob on top of the housing and there is a full tank warning light. The water tank is transparent so that the water level can be seen at a glance and the tank is so easy to remove for emptying - and, more importantly, to replace. Try some of the competition! A length of polythene hose is supplied to enable continuous draining should you want to leave the unit...

Review of Delonghi DEM 10

Lets Fifa 10

Advantages: An almost perfect football simulation
Disadvantages: Some would say its Fifa 09 all over again

...Introduction I wasn't intending on getting Fifa 10 until Christmas but when I saw it advertised for under £25 on the day of release, I had to rush out and buy it as I knew it would never be as cheap as this again until well after Christmas. I had played the demo a few weeks before the actual release, and while the game was good, it didn't look that much different from Fifa 09 which I had only owned for 6 months. With this scepticism, I loaded the game up and began wondering if I had just paid £25 for the same game. First Impressions After sitting through the introduction of Wayne Rooney evading a slide tackle from Frank Lampard, you get to the main menu. Now call my cynical but it appears that Electronic Arts may also think that consumers will have trouble identifying the new features of this game as they have...

Review of FIFA 10 (Xbox 360)

More a playful tap than an "Impact!"

Advantages: Looks good, great fun to play, organic feeling moves
Disadvantages: Glicthtastic, lack of depth, silly learning curve

...and an online mode. There are only a handful of match types (one on one, tag, falls count anywhere and Ultimate X (where the aim is to retrieve an X suspended above the ring by two crossed wires). So choices are a little spartan but the story mode takes about 5 or 6 hours to complete and you can always set up your own matches online or in conjunction with the current TNA wrestling product. GRAPHICS Whilst the graphics aren't as polished as they looked in previews, they are still excellent and the wrestler models look far less plastick-y than their WWE rivals. Having said that, on some of the close ups the created wrestlers can look a bit pixellated. But all in all it's a good effort, and it all looks marvellous in HD. My biggest gripe is a sizing issue. All the wrestlers are exactly the same size. So when you have a supposed 6 foot 10...
