The Pacific Player

Advantages: Low cost, can be reset to multi region, comes with scart lead
Disadvantages: not all the advantages of more expensive makes such as Sony etc

...With my old dvd player recently throwing a school girl like tantrum and refusing to play any more, i was forced into buying a replacement machine. Off to Asda i went and came across the Pacific 1002 DVD player. Costing me £35. The first thing i noticed when purchasding the dvd player is that a Scart lead provided with the player - Bonus!! The machine is set to Region 2 out of the box, however if you look on-line there are many sites which list codes allowing you to easily change the machine to multi region, allowing a greater selection of dvd The machine is DVD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW and MP3 compatible, has a 3 step zoom function, multi speed slow motion, on screen displays, and a rather nice touch is supplied with a Scart lead in the box. The machine offers up to 16x Fast Forward and Reverse playback, with slow motion in...

Motorstorm : Pacific Rift

Advantages: Graphics, Longevity
Disadvantages: Too Easy, Slightly Repetitive

...The original Motorstorm is one of the best games I had played for the PS3, so I had no hesitation in buying Pacific Rift. But, I didn't immediately start playing it, I had it for around 3 months before I first played it and from then on I was hooked. The main change that has been made is the introduction of new types of tracks. Air, Fire, Water and Earth. The Air zone has lots of big jumps and is probably my afvourite. The Fire zone is surrounded in molten lava ad makes the boost heat up a lot quick, with the Water zone doing the opposite - cooling down your booster. And finally the Earth zone which has very few jumps. I didn't think these new "Zones" made much of a difference to the game. The other main change is that the game has moved away form every track being full of dull grey, brownish colours. As the front cover shows...

Nothing Pacific

Advantages: Cheaper than chips, easy to use and works well
Disadvantages: Not that reliable, not very attractive

...number of jug blenders, however there was a Tesco own brand for about £20, a Tesco value model for £9.78ish and then I saw the Pacific PB7001 for £9.28, I noticed on the price sign this item was 'discontinued'. At such a bargain price I would resist, when I went to Asda later the same week this same blender was selling off for £7.00 but what they hey. I went to Tesco at the weekend and this item is now selling off for £7.97. When I got the blender home I quickly unpacked it, there is nothing particularly interesting in the box. The blender is composed of a large jug with a capacity of nearly 2 litres, a lid with a feeding hole, a washable hole cover, a base unit with wired lead and fused plug and a special key which allows you to remove the blades. There is nothing to put together with this appliance simply fit the jug to the base unit...

Motorstorm Pacific Rift The Truth

Advantages: Split screen, more colourful than 1st MS much more read review
Disadvantages: motorstorm 1 seemed more chaotic

... Motorstorm Pacific Rift The Truth Introduction Motorstorm is the second game of the motorstorm series and a lot of people were hoping that this would make them forget about motorstorm 1 and its lack of modes. I think this game has but it has got some things that I preferred in motorstorm 1. In this review ill show everything i know and played of motorstorm PC. Story There is no story to this game, just a series of races and events. The only thing is that the amount of races, there must be about 150 races each 2 laps long which is long when your crashing and dodging vehicles. Gameplay Gameplay is Motorstorm PC is very well down, with the L2 and R2 buttons as your accelerate and decelerate really makes you feel you?re pressing down on a pedal. the x button for boost is a much improved system with the game...

Review of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (PS3)

Specific about Pacific

Advantages: excellent food, fantastic service, wonderful decor
Disadvantages: None, except the price

...I have visited many of Manchester’s Chinese restaurants, and I can assure you that Pacific is certainly in the top two – and it’s a close run thing between the Yang Sing and The Pacific for the top position… I really couldn’t choose between them. So let’s just say that both restaurants are excellent, and very well worth a visit. Pacific is a restaurant with a difference, though. It has two separate restaurants, each with a separate team of chefs: one called China, and one called Thailand, on the floor above China. I have only visited China, so far, but I do hope to sample the delights of Thailand before too long. Actually, Pacific is a restaurant with more than one difference… The owner Raymond Wong, is very enthusiastic, and adventurous, with big ideas that work perfectly. His latest...

...reaches the seats, and does not reach the table. Although there is wireless internet in the public areas, it does not work in the rooms. So trying to work in the rooms is very frustrating. Lounge Two floors are dedicated "Pacific Floors" which includes the suites. Staying on these floors gives access to a lounge which has light snacks available during the day and a cocktail hour in the evening with complimentary hot and cold snacks and drinks. There is also a breakfast served here - in the mornings, coincidentally - with fresh fruit, yoghurt, pastries and eggs to order. The lounge has seperate smoking and non-smoking breakfast rooms, either side of a central lounge area with TV. Food and Drink The hotel restaurants are all either on the ground or the first floor. The Cafe Bazar is the coffee shop, open from early till...

Motorstorm Pacific Rift (PS3): A first rate arcade racer

Advantages: Improves on the original in every way, creating an experience that is exhilarating and a lot of fu
Disadvantages: Nothing that you won't forgive

...Everyone who plays computer games learns to develop opinions about them. After a few hours play of a game, most people can give a brief overview of the good, the bad, the ugly, and ways that the series should go in future. It's a shame, then, that developers rarely listen to these opinions. Luckily Evolution Studios have listened to exactly what the fans wanted when creating Motorstorm Pacific Rift, and as a result they have produced a game that offers an unrivalled adrenaline and destruction packed racing experience this side of Burnout. In short, it's everything that the first game should have been. For newcomers to the series, the premise of Pacific Rift is simple. You put sixteen different vehicles of varying shapes and sizes together on varied tracks filled with death defying jumps, tight turns, and hazards in all shapes...

Bargain multi-region DVD player!

Advantages: Very inexpensive for quality, slimline, remote, multi-region
Disadvantages: um....none!

...Bought from ASDA for my daughter's birthday in 2004 but is now in the master bedroom as it's too good for the kids! This DVD player was just under £30 new and is probably he best bargain we have in the house. It has a remote control, not just basic funtion buttons either, and is multi-region straight from the box so no need to enter any codes. It's very slim in height so will easily slip into any display furniture/stand you already have. ** Display and features ** Fabulous display quality, scart in/out. Features skip frames, slow search, search mode, program, zoom, angle.....and many more. ** Region/other viewable media ** Plays multi-region without having to enter codes, so you can basically bring back any DVD from anywhere and it will play it. Also plays JPEG, MPEG, MP3, DVD-R/RW. Very useful if you are having...

Review of Pacific DVD 1001

Pacific PMC601

Advantages: Very good value for money, very durable
Disadvantages: No remote, Tuner doesnt work very well

...I had got tired of just having a portable CD/Radio player in my bedroom, my room was small anyway and having that sitting around on the floor was taking up too much space. I decided a new one, but needed it compact so I could tuck it away up on a wall somewhere but I also needed it cheap (I was a student, it was the end of term, I was living off my student loan!) So, having rethought about what I was asking I had pretty much given up, I didn't believe I could find a player that would have what I was looking for in my price range... until, I walked into ASDA and found the Pacific PMC601for only £20! No, thats not a typo, it really was just £20! I didnt think I could go too far wrong paying that so it ended up coming home with me! ~*~ The look ~*~ It's silver plastic with 12 controls on the front: Volume (up/down), tuner...
