Death on the Nile - Deathly Boring

Advantages: Used up a couple of hours on an otherwise dull Sunday
Disadvantages: Nothing challenging about it

...I've played a few of Agatha Christie's puzzle games, one of which involved Hercule Poirot and I really enjoyed them. This one however I found dreadfully poor and I'm not really sure what the creators were thinking of when they dreamt it up. Overview You take on the role of Poirot who must investigate a murder on board a cruise ship sailing up the Nile. Features * 14 suspects to interrogate * 12 investigation levels * 24 rooms with hidden clues * Mini games System Requirements * Windows 98 or above * 600MHz CPU * 128 RAM * 57MB Free Disk Space * Direct X 6 or above My Thoughts With all the other puzzle games I've played there's also been a bit of video play to go with them. That's probably not the right technical term, but I mean that Poirot for example would wander around looking for clues...

Review of Agatha Christie Death on the Nile (PC)

The Blue Nile's Zenith...

Advantages: It's real music
Disadvantages: None

...Background By the time the Blue Nile: - Paul Buchanan, Robert Bell and P.J. Moore had finished touring and promoting the previous album “Hats” they all felt burned out, Paul Buchanan remembers the early 90’s as a difficult time and so as to try and change things a bit the band decided to buy some equipment and travel to different cities rent a room and write some songs. This is what they did going to France, Italy, Holland and New York all the while writing and recording a few things. After the frantic time of the Hats album Paul said, “It felt very claustrophobic and we kept moving, in the process writing and throwing a lot of songs away we discarded most of the stuff we wrote till we finally got the 10 tracks that appear on “Peace at Last” by 1995. By the summer of 1996 the third...

Review of Peace At Last - Blue Nile (The)

Nile Cruise another perspective

Advantages: History and having a Thomson rep at all times
Disadvantages: too short

...I went on a Nile Cruise with Thomson. It was a five star boat part of the Presidential line called the Nile Commodore. In the brochure the details included all excusions which were packed into the 7 days, I thought oh yea dragged around from tomb to tomb but it was booked so off we went. We arrived to a wonderful friendly greeting. Thomson had a rep on board who came everywhere with us and was always around to help. Not a pretty young thing with fluttering eyelashes but a more mature young woman who was well respected by all the crew. The boat was fantastic wood panelling everywhere and whenever you say members of the crew they greeted you warmly. Our 2 cabin boys met us and introduced themselves and evry morning and night we went in to a spotless room with the beds made in the morning or turned down at night. 4 Egyptian...

Review of Nile cruises

Nile - In the Beginning. From humble beginnings

Advantages: Nice selection of rarities, its Nile
Disadvantages: Not the greatest Production, but not the worst either.

...Nile are a band that pretty much define Brutal Death Metal, so you kinda know that anything they put out is going to be of the most extreme affair. This isn't much a best of, as most of the tracks that you may already have are in fact the original studio versions, so there is something new of sorts to listen to. Quite a few of the tracks sound notably different from the album version you may have heard. For fans of the band, this is a rather nice addition to your collection, a little look into the early days of the band. Ramses Bringer of War is still a track that creates such an epic tone that it deserves to be the national anthem of all wars. The sheer level of playing is still evident even this far back. All in all this is a nice touch to an already flawless release record and a must own for fans of the band....

Review of In The Beginning - Nile

Nile - Black Seeds of vengeance. Infinite Awesome

Advantages: Brutal, relentless, esoteric sound
Disadvantages: Not for those with a heart condition.

...This is about the time Nile took most of the metal world by storm and brought a new level of brutal to the table for people to worship. The strong Middle Eastern and Egyptian sound really adds a new level to the music and brings a sort of haunting tone to the overall sound. Blast beats and double kick insanity are to be found all over every single track, bar the interludes which are of a strong Ancient Egyptian styling that really adds to the feeling that you will get. Most of the songs conjure a feeling of war and chaos, which is always a perfect subject for Death Metal. ?Masturbating The War God? and ?The Black Flame? are two tracks that for me, really shine. They present all the style and skill that Nile have become renowned for over the years. This is a must have piece of hate on a CD, and as such, get it, or miss out....

Review of Black Seeds Of Vengeance - Nile

There is indeed Death on the Nile!

Advantages: Wonderful cast, great to look at
Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

...BACKGROUND Agatha Christie is the most popular crime writer in history, her books selling more than two billion copies worldwide- she is undoubtedly the 'queen of crime.' It has been estimated that she has been outsold only by the Bible and William Shakespeare. Written in 1937, 'Death on the Nile' is as popular today as it has ever been. Set in Egypt primarily, Christie took much of her African inspiration from her interest in archaeology, as she travelled with her husband, the eminent archaeologist Max Mallowan on many field trips. It is this actual knowledge of the Egyptian area that makes the book so readable, and easy to translate onto the big screen. I was always a fan of Agatha Christie novels, having read 'Death on the Nile' when I was around eleven. I was immediately interested when I saw a copy of the 1978 classic...

Review of The Jewel Of The Nile (DVD)

Their best so far!

Advantages: you will bow down to these masters of death metal
Disadvantages: once you have played it to death, you have to wait for the next release!

...I have been a fan of Nile for many years, probably since Black seeds, I have since bought all of their albums and eagerly awaited each release and have not been dissapointed yet. I really believe that since George Kollias joined the band, Nile have been able to acheive a level previously not able reach with previous drummers, and right from the get go in 'what may be safely written' the seamless machine gun perfect precision double bass blasts and single blasts are just unbelievable. Everytime I listen to this album I get chills because what they produce is almost inhuman. Karl and Dallas, as usual, pull of alltime beautiful melodies, crunching rhythms and that quintessential egyptian sound. The way their guitars intertwine with each other is just unbelievable! 1. What may be safely written: Hands down best song on the album...

Review of Ithyphallic (Limited Edition) [Digipak] - Nile

  A Cruise to remember

Advantages: See all the ancient towns cities and temples
Disadvantages: The heat, but only if you let it grt to you

...During one of our holidays to Crocodile Island at Luxor in Egypt we signed up to go on a Nile Cruise with our tour operator, Thomsons. It was for four days and three nights and cost £330 all inclusive this included an outside cabin, (a window cabin), all meals some buffet some a la Carte, our own guide, (English speaking Egyptologist), all the trips and entrance charges to the temples and museums. We were so excited as we had not planned to do a cruise before we came to Egypt, but we were shown a short film and given all the details at our welcome rep meeting when we first arrived. They made the cruise sound so exotic and beautiful and yes they were right it was everything and more. We were advised on what we should wear and that we would need plenty of water as all the trips to the temples and museums would be at the hottest time...
