Magna Carta 2: A decent short RPG for the 360

Advantages: Decent battle system, plenty of side quests, not too long
Disadvantages: Uninteresting storyline, poor voice overs

...Magna Carta 2 is the third in the Magna Carta series, and the second to be translated into english. As with most jRPGs, knowledge of the other installments isn't necessary. The story centres around Juto, a man who has amnesia and a war between two sides (the rather lazily named Northern and Southern forces). The war comes to the island he lives on and he gets involved afterwards. Obviously there's more to it than that, but it still isn't that interesting. It's abit of a confusing mess, but there are worse stories in jRPGs. There is some characterisation of the cast but in general it's very limited and doesn't add much to the story or the characters. The gameplay is a real time system - the player controls one character and the AI the other two. It's possible to switch between the three characters in real time and there is some...

Leptis Magna - Awesome historic place

Advantages: Deep blue sea right in front, fresh air, amazing history, perfect for relaxing
Disadvantages: none

...Leptis Magna is by far the most amazing historical site i have ever been to. Its is incredibly beautiful, full of detailed history packed away for you to walk on, touch and sit around and enjoy the amazing atmosphere that place has. I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful place it is to visit. Whether your interested in the history of it, or the natural beauty of it. There is something about this place that gets me so calm, peaceful and relaxed, a lot more than just a place at the beach!! And im normally not the type of person to ever be interested in history! There is a special kind of silence in this place. A type i cannot describe in just words. It can never be replecated, its a peaceful silence, not a depressing one. My reccomendation is to go to Leptis magna, either very early morning, so everything is nice and cool...

To Magna or not

Advantages: Really defines and adds volume to lashes
Disadvantages: A bit on the expensive side

...I wear glasses, so, I like to define my lashes, but don;t want 'panda' eyes. I used to use Estee Lauder's Illusionist mascara, which was great, but I found it didn't add enough volume to my lashes. So, when paying a visit to the Estee counter, I noticed the promotion for MagnaScopic mascara. I asked the consultant to tell me about this, well, I've been given 'advice' from other consultants before, but found that the products didn't always do what they were supposed to do. So, with I waited for the 'selling' talk to start. All she said was that it was fantastic, she was wearing it and some of the other big brand consultants had bought it and were using it! Could I get their opinions ? YES! What a change! They all raved about this, how it defined their lashes. So I thought, well it's worth a go. Cost me around £16...

Magna-ificent, NOT

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: everything

...Magna science museum was formerly an old steel works, My husband and I took our son who is 12 years old and our daughter who is 5 years old to Magna the new science museum in Rotherham which opened over the Easter period. We decide to go there because of the television advertisement which made it look really good and all hands on for the kids. We were all looking forward to the outing very much, anyway the day came we drove from Hull approx 62 miles to Magna, as soon as we arrived we parked the car in the massive carpark free of charge, and began to queue, what a wait we queued for 1 hour and 45 mins, then when we thought we were in we had to queue again for 20 mins to get to the ticket desk, I instantly thought wow it must be good to queue for this long so I was'nt upset by the queuing at this stage. We paid for our tickets...

Review of Magna Science Museum (Sheffield)

Amazing flat hose.

Advantages: Compact flat hose, can use when on reel.
Disadvantages: No good when there is a hose pipe ban.

...I have tried a few hose pipes over the years. The standard round hose pipe on a reel with wheels. It kinks and twists and it takes two people to wind it back onto the reel and then finding somewhere to store it because their quite bulky. The springy one was great to start with, then it just stopped springing back. So i was left with a long over stretched hose with no place to store. Then one day i was flicking through the thousands of tv channals we have these days (only about 10 useful) and i saw the Magna Flat Hose. Price was £22.95 from QVC What caught my eye was some huge truck ontop of the hose and the water was still coming out impressive or what. (am i easily impressed or what) So 3 days after ordering my Magna Hose it arrives in a cardboard box. Quickly opening the box and getting out my 75 foot hose i was...

magna doodle don't

Advantages: can choose preset pictures colour them then animate
Disadvantages: no freehand drawing facility

...I recently purchased this cd-rom for my two oldest children aged 2 and 5. I found that this product doesn't do what you would expect it to (draw) instead it allows the child to select from 5 categories pre-set pictures which can then be coloured in and animated. My children soon got very bored of this and resorted to going back to basics by using a traditional magna doodle board. I honestly thought that the software I bought would bring hours of fun and education in the sense that my kids could actually draw their own pictures and colour them in.In my opinion I would recomend that if you are thinking of purchasing a drawing tool for the pc steer clear from this one and put the money saved towards a much better option....

No tying required

Advantages: Nice craft activity
Disadvantages: Bit fuddly

...Magna Beads One of our more recent art/craft activities, and one which little Miss really enjoyed because she not only had a craft activity but ultimately something to wear. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The activity comes in a box (naturally) and once we get inside the box, the beads are sectioned into several seperate sections within the plastic container. The magnetic beads which are about 3 cm cylinders with a whole in the middle, are kept in the centre of the plastic packaging, and are sellotaped together. The other beads are separated by type and arranged around the magnetic beads. All of the beads in our pack are silver although the magna beads are available in other colours, such as: amethyst; pink; sapphire; ruby. Although the beads are all silver in colour, they are different shapes and sizes- there are flowers, cylinders...
