Acer Aspire T135-5T970

Advantages: Cheap, Powerful Budget Computer
Disadvantages: Hard Drive can be a bit noisy

...I bought this computer a few months ago for only £235 including VAT and delivery, which was perfect for me seeing as i'm a student and strapped for cash at the moment :D I only got 256Mb of RAM for the price, which was a bit of a downer, especially when 64mb is taken up by the onboard graphics, however i had a Radeon 9550 graphics card to slot into the agp8x slot to free up that 64mb and increase performance, and it's been fine since then. I used to play games with the stock specifications and the added graphics card, and games such as counter-strike and max payne 2 were running happily on near-full specifications which looked great. The computer struggles slightly with higher-end games such as farcry though. I stopped gaming though (due to a backlog of work :D) and moved onto what i bought the computer for, which was working...

Theme Hospital PC game

Advantages: A great game for the PC!!!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: Addictive!!!

...I used to play this game when I was a kid, it has been out since 1997, and I think we got it when we got one of our computers (you remember when you got random games with your computers!!), and I used to play it! To be honest in the last few years I haven't thought about it, but when I was in the shop Game the other day, and found out I had accumulated £10 on my game reward card I thought I'd look for some things to buy, and this game was in a section for 3 for £10, as I had found a couple of other games I wanted, I thought I'd get this too! The game is quite simple to start with, you are the owner of a hospital and you have to build rooms and hire doctors, nurses and handymen to keep it running, and you have to work at keeping the patients happy and curing them as quickly as possible. There are around 15 levels, but as I have...

uefa euro 2008 pc

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...this Computer Game is developed by Electronic Arts. It is also available on a number of console platforms such as ps3, xbox and Wii. The setting of the Game is the European Championships held this year (2008) in both Austria and Switzerland. installing the game is easy and takes approximately ten minutes to fully install. I did not encounter any problems at this stage. Even when the installation process is complete the dvd needs to be kept in the computers dvd drive, otherwise the game comes to a stand still and there is an alert message saying to re insert the Disk in the drive. uefa Euro 2008 succeeds where other previous versions have failed. each team is given a quality standard mark out of five stars. For example England has four and a half stars, Greece has three and a half. This makes it very difficult to score...

Gears of War (PC)

Advantages: Fantastic gameplay and graphics
Disadvantages: Limited weapons

...Gears of War (PC) Having been released over a year ago for Xbox 360 users, Gears of War has finally been brought to the PC, which is fantastic news for PC gamers. I paid £17.90 from PlayTrade on www.play.com in January 2009, and you can now find it for £17.99 on that main Play website itself. Considering the RRP for this game and the price most high-street stores charge for this game is £34.99, play.com once again is the best place to buy games. Gears of War is one of the best games to have hit the Xbox 360, and the same can now be said about the game on the PC. In terms of gameplay, it is the same as the Xbox version, and follows the same storyline, which in iteself is fantastic. You are able to perform various manoeuvres such as crouching behind a wall, rolling, and hiding behind walls, which all enable you to combat...

135 metres above the city

Advantages: picturesque view
Disadvantages: none

.... The London Eye --------------------- I?m sure that 99% of you know what London Eye is and probably 90% of you have already tried it. I?m writing this paragraph for those who are curious. The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, is located on the south bank of the Thames in London, between the Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge. It was created by David Marks and Julia Barfield (they are married). It was constructed in 1998-1999 for celebrating the Millennium. Formally it was opened by Tony Blair on 31 December 1999 but due to technical difficulties the public could try it only in March 2000. Since then it is the most popular tourist attraction in UK. The wheel is 135 m high which (in 2009) is the highest observation wheel in Europe. There are two higher wheels in the world at the moment: Singapore Flyer (165 m) and Star...

FIFA 2008 (PC)

Advantages: Best yet, plenty to do, hours of fun
Disadvantages: Need to be a regular game player and fairly familiar with the game.

...The first FIFA game I have ever played was this one! FIFA 08! Let's get things straight here, I have asolutely no interest in football, especially of the game variety AND epecially of the pc game variety... I'm a tetris kind of girl (arghhhh I hear you cry.... why is she writing a review) but read on...... The game itself is amazing... the graphics are good and unlike some of its counterparts the screen image did not make me want to throw up ( I often find this with fast moving games with high graphics) After the initial trauma of my mate saying "why don't you give it a go" and actually trying out the game, I must admit I'm kind'a hooked! I am told (by my male friend) that: The serious ("FIFA...") has been going for around 13 years now, and numerous games have been released (14 at last count) and this is the most...

THE SIMS: LIFE STORIES (PC)

Advantages: Laptop friendly, comprehensive tutorial for beginners
Disadvantages: Expensive for what it's worth, not for the experienced Sims players

...?Windows? bar, to allow you to use the computer at the same time, such as exploring the Internet (though computer does slow down) and using Office packages. ~~~~~~~~~~ PLAY WISE ~~~~~~~~~~ You can play on two different modes on LS ? the story or the free play mode. The story mode is as I?ve explained earlier with Riley and Vince?s story. With the free play mode, it?s basically what you play on Sims 2. This game is extremely easy for those who have played Sims 2, as it uses the same format and functions. For those who haven?t played it, you control the Sim?s everyday action. Your Sims must get involve in mundane tasks (like humans), in order to survive longer. So they will be doing chores such as cleaning the toilet, watching telly, painting and cooking. The adult Sims can have babies, which will grow up into toddlers...

Harldy notice I'm wearing them

Advantages: Good sound quality, Comfortable to wear
Disadvantages: Microphone not as good as expected

...I don't actually have the pc135 headset but own the pc130 which is basically the same. The reason I bought a new headset is because I'd heard from a friend how much better it is to use headphones plugged directly into the soundcard when listening to music on the pc, and so I bought these for around £30. Lets start with sound quality. I can't fault this headset, sound quality is absolutely superb for such an inexpensive headset. Having compared it to similar manufacturers products on the market such as those from Plantronics, I'd say the Sennheiser came out top every time. This headset is also very comfortable to wear, it has large ear pads which are protected with the usual black foam yet produce a well channeled sound. The headpiece easy adjusts via a sliding mechanism to fit a good range of head sizes., and the microphone is...
