Numark PHX

Advantages: wires and ear cups can be changed and amazing quality for the price
Disadvantages: ear cups not very comfy and crackles when very loud

...The Numark PHX headphones are ideal for anybody wishing to have high quality headphones without paying a price too high. From my own experience I have found these headphones to be ideal for DJ'ing. For the price they are sold it, the quality of the headphones is very high. A good feature for the Numark headphones is the wires and ear cups, which can be changed. This comes in useful for different situations. The only downside of these headphones is the small crackle when they are pushed to the very top of the sound level. However this is only a downside for those people who have the headphones unbelievably loud. Another accessory included in the headphones box is the carry case to move the headphones around. The only thing I could think of for improvement of these headphones is for the ear cups to be a bit more of a comfy fit to the head...

Just ask the Axis, he knows everything

Advantages: Some great rock songs here
Disadvantages: A forgotten album

...Axis: Bold As Love with its fantastic spaced-out cover art, showing the band as kind of like Hindu deities (cobras, elephants, kings, girls, firebreathers, the lot) was The Jimi Hendrix Experience's second release after "Are You Experienced?" in 1966. The passage of time has seen this album somewhat overshadowed by their debut and the later "Electric Ladyland" complete with their no 1 smash single, the famous and totally brilliant Voodoo Chile. But that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves so let's get back to this interesting record which has 13 songs in all and clocks in at a respectable 46 minutes. The late 1960's was the era of the power trio, with such bands as Cream, Gun, and the US outfit Mountain playing hard rock with fuzzy guitars and heavy bass rythyms. Indeed the Experience's bassist, Noel Redding, was...

My personal opinion of Axis and Allies

Advantages: Very well balanced rules
Disadvantages: Time factor for games

...Axis and Allies is a very time consuming game. Be sure to allow upwards of 4 hours for a complete game, longer if playing as teams, and I have played in games which have lasted up to 18 hours. Set in the Second World War it pits two teams against each other with the Axis of Germany and Japan against the Allies of the USA,Russia and Great Britain. It is a game for adults or older children with 13 to 14 years of age being a minimum due to the length of time spent in playing and the relative complexity of the rules when compared to games such as Monopoly etc. Note that the rating of average complexity to set up is for games of this type. If compared to a game like Monopoly it is a lot more involved in the setup stage. Having said that I still recommend this game to anyone interested in strategy. It has a luck element but this...

PS3 SixAxis

Advantages: +Lightweight +Great battery life +Motion-sensing
Disadvantages: -No rumble

...The SixAxis controller is the standard controller for the PS3 at the moment. In the east (and possibly America) a new version has been released which has a rumble feature. This product will be out in the UK around about springtime. The current model lacks rumble capabilities. This may seem a bad thing, but you really do get used to it, I don't miss rumble at all now although I might buy the dualshock3 (the rumble version) when it comes out in the spring, as it's bound to add a bit to the experience of playing a game, but its nothing major. The lack of rumble is the ONLY possible negative I can think of for the sixaxis, although as it doesn’t affect me much I don’t really see it as a negative (although some might) The controller uses bluetooth to connect to the ps3, you plug it into the ps3 by the lead, press a button in...

Cheap and Fairly Cheerful

Advantages: Aesthetically pleasing and incredibly cheap.
Disadvantages: Not the most comfortable headphones in the world, sound is a little bass heavy.

...When I first started out DJing some years back I was a student on an incredibly tight budget; I made sure I bought myself a decent pair of decks that would last a good few years, this therefore meant that I had to compromise in other areas however. When looking for a cheap pair of headphones there are quite a few models out there on the market from various different companies; Numark's HF125 headphones were the ones that caught my eye however and this is a budget pair of entry-level headphones still being bought by many today. When I bought my pair I believe they cost a price of roughly £12, today however they can be picked up from Amazon.co.uk for the mere price of £7.99; an absolute bargain in my opinion and absolutely perfect if you're just starting out as a DJ and looking to purchase a cheap pair of headphones. These are not the best...

TT200

Advantages: Good quality and features
Disadvantages: N/A

...Numark turntables were the first ones I bought many years ago when I started out and do I always have a special place in my heart for their products. When the TT200 was released I was quite impressed by the design and some of the features so decided to check them out. The TT200 looks very cool indeed. They are not shaped like other turntables; rectangular with harsh corners, this has a much more sleeker looking design with luxurious looking smooth edges and a dual coloured faceplate (silver and black). The smart design takes nothing away from the sturdiness of the turntable and I reckon that this could take quite a battering before playback became affected. The platter and the tone-arm feel strong and I would image they would stand up to a fair bit of force. When making any contact with the record being played the needle only skipped...

Six Axis Dosent Provide A BIg Shock!

Advantages: Six Axis Feature Is Good!
Disadvantages: Dualshock!

...The PS3 Six Axis Wireless Controller is a revolution in the gaming but is not as good as the wii remote and how it reacts to the game. I am glad that they kept the design the same but feel that it should have the range of features the wii does to make it even better. I feel the best part is the fact that it is rechargeable and will last for about 10 hours of game play and can be charged from the PS3 system in less than an hour. It is really top quality and a great revolution in the world of gaming. The new trigger buttons are a really great addition and the games like FIFA 2008 change the button to R2 as sprint because of the ease and control that you now have over the trigger button. The poor feature of the controller is the dual shock which really does need to be included in the new version of the controller but the cost maybe...

The second world war how would you play it?

Advantages: Control wave of attacks,gripping and enthrawling detail,exciting videos,what a game,not bad for a fiver!!
Disadvantages: Too easy, world domination is impossible to achive,and planes run out of fuel hehe!

...Axis and allies is a pc made version of the traditional board game of the same name,i have not played it so i have no basis for comparison but i willsay that this is a great game from HASBRO INTERACTIVE and one of the cheapest most addictive games i have had the pleasure of playing.From the opening intro video which is extremely cool and enthrawling to the end videos of allied or axis victory the game never lacks energy and thought has been given to every conseivable detail to make a wonderful historic pc game! Axis and allies is a simple yet detailed follow off of the height of the third reich,simple yet interesting war deciding battles are area based and not town/city based that can be a trifle anoying.The battle for Stalingrad was the turning point in the war and so was the battle for El alamein in Africa.The storyline is based...

Review of Axis & Allies (PC)

Six-axis is nice, but lacks rumble feedback!

Advantages: Long-lasting RECHARGEABLE Battery life, familiar user-interface and tilt-sensivity
Disadvantages: Lack of rumble feedback and build quality could be much better.

...Sine buying the Playstation 3, I have had and own three six-axis controllers. The first of which came with the games console itself. First impressions of the controller, were that it was both light, comfortable and stylish. The controller itself, is not as opaquely black as it appears in the many images provided on online shopping websites. It is, in fact, semi-translucent, which I myself, think is a nice effect, rather then the solid black colour of the previous Playstation 2's controller. In terms of build quality, the six-axis isn't the most amazing product. The buttons located on the topside of the orginal controller that came with my Playstation 3 console, fell apart within days of using it. Not because of lack of care but because of the lack of care taken manufacturing the product. I then had to buy a replacement, which was...

Holidays in the Axis of Evil - an A-Z of Iran

Advantages: Fabulous people, fascinating things to see
Disadvantages: Headscarves, awful food, expensive visas

...When you announce to friends, family and colleagues that you've just booked a holiday in Iran (an 'Axis of Evil Tour' as they might see it), their responses tend to be fairly predictable. They range from the geographically mistaken 'but isn't there a war there?'(nope, that's Iraq) or 'aren't they fighting with Israel?' (nope, that's Lebanon) to the most predictable of all responses - a look of bemusement and the question "What on earth would you want to do that for?' So I say to you put aside the thoughts of mad mullahs and the bellicose but oddly attractive (in a Jose Mourinho despotic sort of way) prime minister Ahmedinajad. Try instead to think Persia - the world's first great empire and the land of carpets and fluffy kitties with squashed up faces. As there's so much I could say about this fabulous country I'm going to enforce...
