Forza Motorsport 3 races out the other competition

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

Advantages: can leave property without going to load screen, graphics updated
Disadvantages: hard to control, too complicated, too basic

...Genre: Simulation Publisher: Electronic Arts Developer: Electronic Arts Redwood Shores 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)

The Sims 3

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...

The Sims 3 - The Best One Yet?

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...

M is for Magnificent

Advantages: Easy to apply, great finish
Disadvantages: Too many colours, not enough nails!

...the specific criteria that this nail varnish will last 3 to 4 days, as I think this is roughly the minimum amount of time before it will start to chip. Of course, it may well chip sooner if you have longer nails and use them for opening things, typing etc. * Sunmeilan raised a good question with regards to how this nail varnish stands up to daily washing-up. Unfortunately, I can't comment on this, as I have a dishwasher, so it no longer forms part of my daily 'nail-chipping activities'. It's highly likely that daily washing up or other activities which expose your hands to water for long periods of time will decrease its staying power, although I can't say to what extent. However, I find that my nail varnish can often get quite chipped in the shower, and I've found this to be minimal with Barry M nail varnishes, so I can only assume that this range...

Kodak M863

Advantages: Good picture quality, LCD screen, versatility
Disadvantages: None!

...It would appear, the humble digital camera is somewhat of the ?pinnacle? in reviewing on these review sites?partly because it must be one of the main products that ?external? customers use to choose a product. So, without further ado, here?s the Kodak M863. Lovely stuff. My particular version comes in a black matt finish with a strap to place around your wrist ? being a bloke it was a far more obvious choice that the potential vivid pink option! Now, im hardly a connoisseur when it comes to digital cameras; the only other one I?ve previously owned was a ?Premier? one. (yep, never heard of them either!) But the first thing that strikes me about this camera is the large detailed 2.7 inch LCD screen on the back of the camera. With the camera being 8.2 mega-pixels; which is probably far too many to make any difference than, say, 6 mega...

3 Words: It's Damn Good!

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

...As you may or may not know, I do love a bit of the old Girls Aloud in my car when I'm driving along every now and then, and I've even been lucky enough to see them live a few times. Now, Cheryl has always been my favorite and I love her on the X Factor too so I was a bit nervous when I found out she was releasing a solo album. I know she isn't the greatest singer, so I was worried it would fall flat and kind of be a huge dent in the so far untouchable career of Mrs Cole. Still, I pre-ordered my copy with a spare Amazon voucher I had and eagerly awaited its day of release. When I got it, it went straight into my car and I've spent a good while listening to it before reviewing it so you've got my full impression of it, not just my first one! The album kicks off with a fantastic song, and one that has been confirmed as her second single...

Review of 3 Words - Cheryl Cole

Barry M, the love of my life!

Advantages: Verstaile, high quality, unique, cheap
Disadvantages: messy

...Barry M is my absolute favourite cosmetic brand. It hails itself as "the most colourful name in cosmetics" a claim which it's range certainly backs up. The whole range is so fun and allows you to create so many different looks. There are other ranges out there with colourful cosmetics such as MAC and GOSH but the difference with Barry M is the affordability. The whole range is so affordable that to build up a collection is easy. I haven't tried all the different products available from Barry M so I can only really comment properly on the ones I have. DAZZLE DUST Well dazzle dusts were my first introduction to Barry M. I found with most eyeshadows the pigment just wasn't strong enough and didn't provide me with a dramatic enough effect. At the time that I was shopping for 'holiday make up' the Barry M dazzle dusts were on 3...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

Rock out with Guitar Hero III, wirelessly.

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...

Strum Away with Gutar Hero III

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...
