Pokemon Platinum - Platinum Quality

Advantages: Great graphics and longevity. Online capabilities are excelent. A very fun game.
Disadvantages: Battling gets monotonous after a while; Not worth getting if you have Diamond/Pearl already

...For any fan of the pokemon series, Pokemon Platinum is an amazing and brilliant game to own. This game is the third installment to the games Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and has many more features. The storyline is similar to the other two games and to every other pokemon game which is to fight through a building filled with trainers from an evil organisation. The battles here are monotonous and not very difficult to win. This aside, the game is brilliant in terms of gameplay with many pokemon to catch and a lot of legendary pokemon to keep you busy trying to get them. Even after the game is beaten there is a lot to do, train pokemon, catch them all, battle with friends, it could never end. The graphics of this game are stunning. The Nintendo DS' 3D capabilities are really put to good use everywhere in the game and for a handheld game...

Review of Pokémon Platinum (Nintendo DS)

Pokémon Platinum Shines Better Than Diamond

Advantages: Longevity, fun, depth, better than previous installments and Diamond and Pearl
Disadvantages: I can't put it down, maybe not for those already with Diamond or Pearl

...Everyone who paid any attention to anything in the 90s will have heard of Pokémon. I mean, how could you not? With TV shows, movies, merchandise, a whole trading card game and more, with the whole world going crazy about it, how could you have missed it? Well, the series started with the games Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue way back on the Game Boy Colour, and many years later, after many spin offs and installments, here we are on the latest one. Pokémon Platinum What Is Pokémon? If you actually managed to avoid it, Pokémon are creatures who inhabit the world and take on many forms, with now 493 Pokémon to date. There are many types of people in the Pokémon world, some battle with the Pokémon, some breed them and some use them to help in life. But these creatures are everywhere. And this is the world we're going to transport you to...

Review of Pokémon Platinum (Nintendo DS)

A super sexy, sassy Platinum read!

Advantages: Great characters, outrageous story, great fun!
Disadvantages: None

...This summer, I feel that us readers have been treated to a great amount of new fiction being released into the shops and our local libraries. As I just can't afford the prices of new books, my library must be loving me as I'm taking out more books than ever at the moment! I've mainly been getting my ideas from Amazon and the recommendations it gives to me based on what I've rated on there, and Platinum was one of these books. Again, I managed to get a copy from my library and I've finally finished the book so here is my review of it, at last! Platinum focuses on the lives of 3 women all scorned by one man and how their lives were ruined by the evil Yuri Khordinsky. Frankie is a computer-whizz, but due to something that happened to her at home in South Africa, she's now a stewardess on board Pushkin, a yacht owned by rich businessman...

My Platinum card

Advantages: Great for collecting Nectar points, added security features
Disadvantages: Will sting you for late payment

...card shape that measures 85mm by 55mm. At the top of the card there is the words "Barclay card" with their logo next to it. Underneath that it says "Platinum" Then there is on the left hand side a metal chip which is used for the chip and pin facility. Underneath that there is my credit card number which is 16 numbers long. The card also has on it the Visa logo and other information such as the valid from and expiry date and my name at the bottom. And like other credit cards it has the hologram of a dove that changes colour when you move the card about. The card's colour scheme is silver indicating that it is a Platinum card. On the reverse there is the strip to sign your name on, which you are advised to do as soon as you receive the card. There is also the customer services number on there too which is really useful...

Platinum Egoiste for Men: gold's so 1999....

Advantages: Great smell and quite and quite exclusive
Disadvantages: Heavy bottle and a little expensive

...Platinum Egoiste Platinum Egoiste pour homme (for men) is made by Chanel, Paris and I first came across it one night at the theatre when I was sat next to a friend who had the best smelling aftershave on. Fortunately it was someone I knew quite well so I asked him what it was and the answer (of course!) was Platinum Egoiste! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's it like? I am quite allergic to aftershave for some strange reason but I must admit that I have never really had any problems with Platinum Egoiste at all It's quite an unusual, rich smelling aftershave that has quite a manly smell and is quite strong but doesn't linger or catch. I must admit that whenever I wear it, someone always seems to comment which is good for the ego! It almost has a hint of musk in the smell and rich, fruity spices. It's a great aftershave...

PLATINUM PLUS WHAT

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

...I spotted an advertising banner for this on Ciao the other day, and decided that it might therefore be a useful time to share my views on whether this is a terribly good credit card provider or not. I have been an MBNA Platinum Plus cardholder for several years but in that time have never used the card as my primary credit card account. One of the reasons for this is that on the whole I tend to clear my balance monthly, so I want a credit card that offers something for simply using the card for every day transactions – unfortunately the MBNA Platinum Plus card does not have any sort of loyalty scheme. Application MBNA have always been heavy hitters in the advertising market, and invest more money in leaflets, Internet advertising and press adverts than most credit card companies. Your attention will often be...

Review of MBNA Platinum Card

True Platinum

Advantages: Level of service provided, Image
Disadvantages: Cost (small price to pay?)

...It seems that more and more people have Platinum cards these days. Most of them do not have any minimum requirements apart from having a job, and consequently say very little about those who have them. American Express still have very high standards and only give Platinum cards to existing customers by invitation only. It's not cheap at £225 a year, but the package it offers you is potentially worth a great deal more. You get year round travel insurance, which American Express claim would cost you at least £165 if purchased separately. Looking at the level of cover, I believe them. You, and any of the five people who can be given supplementary cards all get cover on every journey abroad whether booked on the card or not. This gives you personal liability cover of £1 million and emergency hospital cover of £2 million and £7500 trip...

Platinum Blonde - A portrait of Deborah Harry

Advantages: Interesting story
Disadvantages: Not always in chronological order

...OK so I'll let you all into a little secret - Debbie Harry was my very first childhood crush. Parallel Lines was the first album that I ever purchased with my pocket money and I still have a vivid memory of Blondie's front woman parading around a stage on Top of the Pops wearing a ripped plastic bin liner and not a lot else. Oh those were the days of my twisted, adolescent fantasies?.. When I recently stumbled across a biography on the pop icon that is Debbie Harry in a charity shop it was inevitable that I was going to part with my 50p, if only to try and recapture some of my childhood dreams and besides I had four plane journeys in a week ahead of me so I needed plenty of reading material. Platinum Blonde is the title of a portrait of Debbie Harry written by Cathay Che. It was written with Harry's full co-operation and when...

Review of Platinum Blonde - Deborah Harry

All that glitters is not gold - it's platinum!

Advantages: enjoyable read
Disadvantages: none

...Platinum is a story about three women, all very different from one another, who in ordinary circumstances would have no occasion to meet. Frankie is a young girl working as a stewardess on board a fantastic yacht sailing around the Med. Peaches is LA's most famous 'madam' who spends her time supplying high class prostitutes to the rich and famous and organising the most depraved parties imaginable. Lady Emma Harvey is a British aristocrat and society hostess who supports her husband in his business ventures and lives in a wonderful stately home. They are the most unlikely trio ever to meet, let alone end up working together but that is what happens. As the story unfolds, disaster and tragedy befalls each of the women in turn. They either have the choice to allow these events to finish them or to fight back against whoever is behind them...

Platinum Card Platinum Price

Advantages: No credit limit, free family cards, reward points, free travel insurance + perks
Disadvantages: £225 a year fee

...The Amex Platinum Card is a nifty little number with no pre-set credit limit and numerous perks for the holder. For an annual fee of £225 you not only get free international travel insurance for you and your family (for travel paid for with the card) but also can have extra Platinum or Gold cards for yourself and family members over 18. The rewards scheme is included in the annual fee, and one point is given for each pound spent. Over the course of the year this soon mounts up, and points can be exchanged for a wide range of goods and services, including airline tickets, wine, hotels and car hire. From time to time, American Express sends Platinum cardholders invitations to prestige events including pre-screenings of new films - absolutely free of charge. There are also Cardholder specials in some of the best stores where only...
