Knights of the Old Republic.

Advantages: Great Story, Strong Gameplay, Good Graphics, Lightsabers
Disadvantages: Occasional Glitches, Slightly repetative in middle section.

...Knights of the Old Republic is a third person RPG set in the star wars universe in an era before any of the films are set. In this time period, the mandalorian wars have finished and the Jedi and Sith are battling for control of the Galaxy. The game begins with you on a spaceship that is under attack battling to save Ballista, a Jedi with the 'Battle Meditation' special power who can turn the tide of the war. Choosing to be either a soldier (combat class), Scout (shooting and stealth) or Scoundral (silver tounged all rounder) you set off on your mission. The game follows Advanced D&D rules and you gain experience that you can spend on skills (security, persuasion, computers, demolition), feats (weapon proficiency, use of implants, special attacks) or characteristics (strength, wisdom etc.). It is possible to have wildly varying...

Knights Of The Old Republic - Jedi Vs Sith Again?

Advantages: Excellent Story, Vivid Graphics, Light Side Or Dark Side Options
Disadvantages: Click & Play May Not Suit All Players

...Unlike many Star Wars games, where the action is based in the era of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, or Darth Maul and Obi-Wan, Knights of the Old Republic is based 4000 years earlier. This is a refreshing new perspective on the Star Wars scene, in a time when the Sith marched around in shiny, metallic suits of armour and people used swords and staffs. Knights Of The Old Republic follows your character, whom you can customise with a variety of options, such as face, skills, feats, etc. Those who have played Neverwinter Nights will find this very very familiar, but new players may find it a bit confusing at first. A good read of the manual will do wonders however and soon you'll be in the game levelling up like you've been playing it all your life. You pick your class and you're immediately thrown into the action, on a transport...

Knights Of The Old Republic 2

Advantages: Good story plenty of options
Disadvantages: Predictable at points

...Story The game is set over 4000 years before the films, although most of the aliens can be recognised from the films, you take on the role of a what seems to be an ordinary Republican soldier during a war between the Republic and the Sith, the imperials. The game starts of with you waking up on a Republic ship with no memory of who you are or why you are here, and the story starts from here. You have to fight your way of the ship slowly piecing together your memory whilst completing missions and objectives and assisting your friends. The game takes you to many of the worlds that have previously been seen in the Star Wars universe and some new ones. Game play You play in the third person perspective, and although you have your main character as you go along you meet new characters who join your party each one having...

Review of White Knight 44AW

The White Knight to the rescue on those wet summer days

Advantages: User friendly, light weight and good load capability
Disadvantages: C rated so not he most economical

...As most people in Britain own a washing machine, many, like me, probably struggle to get there washing dry, especially with the glorious sunshine and top quality weather that is constantly warming our cheery faces, (that was sarcasm by the way), so the invention of the clothes/tumble dryer was a god send. So when my old dryer suddenly decided to stop blowing hot air, whilst also gaining a sort of stutter, I decided to go on the hunt for another similar one, coming across a brand called White Knight. But, to add to my confusion, I discovered that there are several types of dryers, such as spin dryers, which simply spin the clothes inside so fast that they eventually dry. Then there?s the condenser dryer, which passes warm air through the clothes and turns the heated air into water vapour sending the vapour into a storage hold, thus...

Sleepless Knights

Advantages: Immersive, great storyline, plenty content
Disadvantages: not much

...After a series of disappointments the Star Wars franchise finally delivers. Previous Star Wars games have simply been cash-ins on the name. This, however, is different. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) is a role playing game (RPG) where the playable character comes from one of three different types. These are scoundrel, scout and soldier. Each class has their own advantages and disadvantages. As in many other RPG games the character classes differ in their balance between brains and brawn; in KOTOR scoundrels are the brains, soldiers are the brawn and the scout is in between. KOTOR manages to excel in the way that although it is has a very detailed storyline with good characterisation, it also hands the player plenty freedom within the game. The story in the game is set 4000 years before any of the other Star...

The Darker Knight

Advantages: Chilling to the core
Disadvantages: Some underused characters

...Hard to believe I know but it has been three long years since Batman Begins first hit cinema screens across the globe, and now as I write this The Dark Knight takes the story on a seamless transition from one movie to the other. 2008's most anticipated movie would have been a blockbuster hit alone, but the death of one of the co-stars Heath Ledger an icon of our time solidified its place in history; when The Dark Knight opened a week ago in America it smashed box office record by achieving a whooping turnover of 67 million pounds on its first day. At the end of the already dark Batman Begins we were told The Joker was coming, and as The Dark Knight begins you're very well reminded of this, but now no longer just coming, The Joker is here. This time history does not repeat itself, from the old Adam West movies and TV shows to the 1989...

The fourth republic

Advantages: Nice thought, and a good place in which to think it
Disadvantages: Not much to see, except perhaps on April 1st

...People in Britain tend to think of the three ex-Soviet Baltic republics, if they think of them at all, as a uniform group and to assume they're much of a muchness. I have to admit that before I went to the region I rather shared that assumption. Once there, one learns a bit about their individual histories and ethnicities, and observes their differing national characters. The Estonians are polite and efficient, but perhaps somewhat stolid. The Latvians are brisker, sharper and less forthcoming; compared to Tallinn, Riga has an edgy feel. And the Lithuanians? They are sometimes described as the Italians of the region, though I'm not sure that quite does them - or the Italians - justice. But they do seem more easy-going than their neighbours, and there is an offbeat, unconventional side to their nature. Why else would...

The Darkest of Knights

Advantages: Great acting. Good story and special effects
Disadvantages: No soundtrack

...The Dark Knight is the latest Batman film to hit our screens, involving Batman's fight to save Gotham city from the Joker's crime wave, whilst also trying as Bruce Wayne to push Harvey Dent as the cities new major Having watched Batman Begins again recently we decided to watch The Dark knight whilst it was fresh in out minds as this follows on, it would have been called ?Batman Continues? but that doesn?t sound and where near as exciting ! As with Batman Begins. Brue Wayne and his alter ego Batman are well played by Christian Bale, this time he is trying to save Gotham City from the evil clutches of The Joker played the excellent and sadly now deceased Heath Ledger. He is assisted by the new mayor of Gotham City, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) a man with strong views and morals. The main supporting cast from Batman begins is there too...

The Dark Knight returns

Advantages: Still to the high standards of the first film
Disadvantages: 152 minutes in length!

...Gordon off to a tee. Gordon as a character has a destiny and I hope that in the following films that this plays out to entirety. Oldman's performance in The Dark Knight is spot on. The saddest part of the cast is the late Heath Ledger; we all know that Ledger passed way earlier this year. His input into this film is staggering. His take on The Joker is what the cinema just hasn't seen for years and I think that it is this film that Ledger will be remembered for as he effectively grounds the character and totally rebuilds him into a totally different type of villain that we haven't seen before in this genre of film. His Joker has all the trademarks of the comic character in appearance such as the green hair and build, but what Ledger has done is to take his attitude towards life and increase it by 200% so that the character in the film has...
