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...

Race Driver: GRID

Advantages: Graphics, sound, gameplay
Disadvantages: No split screen multi-player

...Race Driver: Grid captures the atmosphere of every race, from the starting grid to the finishing flag. It's spectacular graphics set it apart from the rest with realistic and licensed cars that make the game as thrilling as it is. When you first start the career mode you set in an American muscle car race in the streets of Detroit. Your aim obviously to win the race but, this is the first time that you see the extent of the graphics and realistic sound effects. After finishing this race you have to race for other teams so you can gain enough money to refurbish your Ford Mustang Boss to mint condition.

Review of Race Driver: GRID (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

...Dew-Scented- Impact ( I won't review all the songs; there are a few songs I am not too sure about) I bought this album more than a few years ago now; when I picked up any album I could find and hoped I liked it! I was just pretty lucky when I stumbled across this album as it helped to solidify my continuing interest in thrash and death metal. Without this album I wouldn't even contemplate facing the death metal genre. It is a stepping stone from thrash metal to death metal. What surprises me is that this band brings nothing new to the genre but it still has a special place in my heart. Line-up Florian Müller - Lead Guitars Hendrik Bache - Lead Guitars & Bass Leif Jensen - Vocals Uwe Werning - Drums Why do I like this album in particular? The aggressive high-intensity that is full of energy that is extremely listenable. I...

Review of Impact - Dew-Scented

Impact on Humanity

Advantages: see text
Disadvantages: see text

...As a huge fan of disaster films, the movie, Deep Impact is one of the best of its kind as evidenced by its unique delivery. With the help of our present day technology, the movie stirs a lot of emotions that is deeply moving and believable. Like always, Steven Spielberg did an excellent job in this arena of real life images and special effects. In appreciation of the story itself, the movie has dual elements to describe a asteroid hitting earth. It has the physical reality and the emotional side. On the physical side, The comet's strike towards earth in this movie created a deep scar on its surface with the impact that is so immensely great and made believable with this day and age of cinematic technology. There are a lot of imagery and camera tricks that were put in by the producers that are so overwhelming to the audience...

Review of Deep Impact (DVD)

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

.... You shimmy across the rope to the X in the centre. This brings up a mini game where you have to stop the arrow over the green marker. Each successful attempt fills up a little gauge and once it's full, you fall to the ground with X in hand as the winner. Having said that, it can sometimes degenerate into you and your opponent just taking turns to kick each other off the ropes - TNA uses a stun meter and unless your opponent's stun meter is full, they'll get up pretty much straight away. Also, while there is a little body icon to show which body parts have been damaged, the wrestler will show no ill effects, so attacking the legs is not going to make your opponent move any slower. Finishers are nice and easy to put off. As with the competition, you fill up your "Impact" meter and once full, you simply grab your opponent and press...

Taxi Driver - Film Only

Advantages: Incredible direction, performances and writing.
Disadvantages: None.

...A loose remake of John Ford's The Searchers, Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver tells the tale of Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro in an iconic, legendary, career-defining performance), a Vietnam veteran serving as a night-shift cabbie on the streets of New York City. An unhinged, socially inept loner, Travis, having been rejected by the woman he has fallen in love - or lust - with, attempts first to assassinate the presidential candidate for whom said woman was working, and then to rescue from a life of prostitution a 13 year old girl by the name of Iris. Alongside the likes of Abel Ferrara's Driller Killer, Walter Hill's The Warriors and Scorsese's own Mean Streets, Taxi Driver helped to cement in the public imagination the image of New York as a dangerous, sin-sodden, nocturnal netherworld populated primarily by pimps, hustlers, hookers...

Driver

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...The critically acclaimed Driver on the Color Gameboy? You better believe it. Now hand-held owners can slip into a shadowy underworld, acting as a getaway driver for hire to the sinister criminal underworld operating in familiar locales. Speeding through the city streets, navigating the myriad road systems, avoiding the other motorists, and evading the police patrol cars - it's all in a day's work for a wheelman. Cleverly capturing the spirit of the original PC game by opting for a more fitting overhead viewpoint (one similar to that used in Grand Theft Auto, in fact), Driver manages to pack in the very same thrills and spills, with over forty missions to work through, and multiple gameplay modes - including Undercover, Pursuit, Getaway, and Survival - separating the real criminal pros from the boy racers. And it's not just the less than...

Review of Infogames - Driver

Driver 76 (Psp) A nice game but not enough action

Advantages: The theme is quite interesting, good choice of vehicles.
Disadvantages: Poor graphics, not enough missions. Lacks action.

...Driver 76 is a game based in New York. You are a character called Ray and you work for a illegal drug dealer called Slink. You do missions which include shooting, driving, and stealing cars. Missions The majority of missions are quite fun and interesting, but in my opinion the missions lack the action and excitement that you normally experience in games such as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Furthermore the missions are heavily based on driving as opposed to on foot. There are 6 stages of the game in which you complete certain missions you achieve your goal, which is shown in a video form of a comic strip at the beginning of each stage. In my opinion there are not enough levels in this game and they are too easy to progress through. There are also mini missions that can be unlocked, such as tow truck missions and racing...

Review of Driver '76 (PSP)

High Impact, High Value

Advantages: The eyeshadow stays the day and a great value for money
Disadvantages: It isn't waterproof but are any eyeshadows?

...I received this product as a Christmas present for the Christmas just gone (December 2001). It is THE BEST eye shadow I have ever used (second is Clinique's stay the day eye shadow). I used Clinique's High Impact eye shadow in colour 03 South Beach. Since December 2001 I have used this product frequently (once a week or so) and I have not even used the top surface layer. Appearance and Packaging of the product -------------------------------------- The eye shadow comes in a cuboid box, which is approximately 6cm long by 2.5cm wide. The box is peach with patterns of flowers on (daffodils on the back and white roses on the front). On top of the flowers there is a big silver C that strikes you immediately and then half the size of this there is in silver the word 'Clinique'. Underneath this on the first line there is in a dark...
