La Plaza Mayor - deberias visitarlo?

Advantages: Beautiful surrounding, nice shops, good food at reasonable prices
Disadvantages: Not really in the league of some of the museums, too many people exhibiting themselves

...The Plaza Mayor is one of the most beautiful squares in the city of Madrid. It is surrounded by buildings, which are mostly around three or four stories high. On the ground floor of most of these buildings, there are restaurants and shops. The restaurants sell good food at fairly reasonable prices. The Plaza Mayor bustles with life and vigour; many people can be found exhibiting themselves, having sprayed themselves with silver paint and other such things. In the centre, there is a statue of Felipe the Third, who was unsuprising the king at the time. The buildings in the square are architectually stunning; a certain building is covered in fantastic murals. The nearest metro station to the Plaza Mayor is Sol. Personally, I believe that the Plaza Mayor is a fantastic place to visit over lunch one day, where you can sit and enjoy...

Become a Mayor

Advantages: Complex and absorbing game featuring beautiful graphics, enjoyable gameplay and the satisfaction of constructing your dream city.
Disadvantages: Annoying sound, difficult and can become repetitious.

...Sim City 3000 is an excellent game. You are the mayor in charge of building up and running your own city. You begin by selecting your territory (you can also choose actual city terrains). You now have to provide all the basics for modern living - power, water, a transport infrastructure and zones for building. You have a choice of three types of zone - residential, commercial and industrial. The buildings that grow on them improve or decline according to how nice their surrounding area is. You also have control over the budget (it is worthwhile early on making some extra cash from parking fines and legalised gambling) and the taxes which can be raised or lowered according to demand. You have a panel of advisors who generally let you know if anything is desperately needed. To begin with this is a difficult game, it is important not to...

Now I am the mayor, baby!

Advantages: long time motivation
Disadvantages: Sound problems with "Wavetable"

....g.: City exchange/Up-& Download. You just require a normal connection up to 56k. b) The story: = Mayor Damona became the new leader of Innsbruck today. What is that? I just see an empty area. It seems I have to build the ground step by step by myself. Why is not anyone telling me that? Alright, first I choose the starting date, than the amount of nature, the amount of water and the size of the land. Now I can start building my town. My goal is to make my town as big as possible, to satisfy my inhabitants and to raise the profit of my city treasury. After all I want to be rewarded for my efforts too. Anyway, it is not that easy; my inhabitants are pretty peculiar. c) Game Start: First I have to select a scenario with certain goal, a free game or I load an already saved town with sc3 - ending. Now I give my...

Star Trek 6...

Advantages: It's an interesting temple with an ok museum attached
Disadvantages: The silly rules on liquids

...HISTORY Templo Mayor, or the Great Temple was built by the Aztecs in the 14th and 15th centuries. It was almost completely destroyed some years later when the Spanish conquerors arrived, and the bit that was left was hidden under what is now Mexico City. It wasn't until 1978 that people realised it was there, thanks to the chance discovery of an unusual carving, and in the 30 years since then an on-again, off-again program of excavation has been being carried out. Now, some of the bits that have been excavated can be seen by passersby walking near the Cathedral, but to get a proper look at it, you have to pay to enter the grounds and attached museum. Or, like us, you can go on a Sunday when it's free of charge. THE GROUNDS The first part you enter is the remains of the grounds that have been uncovered, which form the outdoor...

Review of Plaza Mayor

The story of a man with flaws

Advantages: Realistic characters and vivid, detailed descriptive language
Disadvantages: Nothing dramatic about the plot and characters

...‘The Mayor of Casterbridge’ by Thomas Hardy is about Michael Henchard who has sold his wife and daughter whilst drunk at a fair. Many years later, he is reacquainted with them when he was the mayor of a town. At the same time, a young man appeared which later on became his rival for the post. Hardy focuses on the character development of Henchard, and uses Farfrae (the young man) to contrast his characters. The wheel of fortune seems to spin for Henchard; he was poor in the beginning of the novel, worked hard and became the respected mayor and by the end of the novel, met his fate in the most uneventful way. So much so, the reading for me too was a roller coaster; there are times when I resent him for his impulsiveness, then liking him when he tries to make up for his past mistakes and by the end of the novel, I feel sorry...

The Mayor is On Line 3, The City Needs You

Advantages: It's A Phone
Disadvantages: Not Cordless

.... So at the end of the day it is a pretty good bog standard phone and for 25 quid you can't really complain. It does not make the toast or make coffee. As for the mayor he'll have to wait it is my official break time....

Review of Sim City 4 (PC)

Fox is the Star

Advantages: Michael J Fox, good script
Disadvantages: sometime's Fox's support slips

...Spin City is one of those US Sitcoms that you never really know whether you like it or not. I must say, I used to be able to take it or leave it, but when you sit down and get in the habit of watching a few episodes - It grows on you. You get to know the characters - Michael J Fox, brilliant as the Deputy Mayor - equally so the Mayor in his own ignorant, stupid way. How did he get to be Mayor? The supporting cast have their moments, but this is very much Michael's show. Whithout him it would be fairly tame. He's the sticking plaster that holds it together. Try it - you might get hooked....
