raw deal a players and collectors point of view

Advantages: easy to learn and play, with huge community of 20,000 estimated players across the globe
Disadvantages: foil chase cards can be hard to get hold of

...I am both a player and collector of raw deal, who has been playing since the product was released 2 years ago. For those reading this review, who havent heard of a collectable card game before here is a brief rundown taken from a website dedicated to the game:- A CCG or Collectible Card Game, is a recent addition to the entertainment stage. It has only gained real acceptance within both the gaming community and in business in the past 10 years. Much like baseball trading cards, one of the joys of CCGs is searching for and obtaining valuable cards to improve your collection, and the success rate of your deck. Like trading cards, CCGs have built in rarity within the card distribution system, making some cards harder to obtain than others. However, unlike trading cards, CCGs actually derive a large part of their value from the game...

Review of WWE - Raw Deal

Don't drink and bake!

Advantages: Arnie starts to flex his 'acting' muscles, a nice end
Disadvantages: brainless, poor script, tries to be too many things

...Whether you love him, hate him, think his acting?s crap, one thing remains perfectly clear: Arnold Schwarzenegger is an action man, and let?s be honest a pretty good one at that. Throughout the eighties and nineties, Schwarzenegger has had a variety of foes from drug lords, terrorist, liquid terminator killing machines, alien predators, Satan himself, toy stores, clones, Batman, male pregnancy and his dialogue coach. So when you want to see a film with a simple yet bold plot and brilliantly executed scenes of ultra-violence, Schwarzenegger is usually the man to go to and if he?s unavailable, Stallone can kick some stereotype bad guy a$$ as well? People may not be too familiar if I were to utter the film title ?Raw Deal?, it is the film Schwarzenegger did between ?Commando? and ?Predator? back in 1986. Arnie plays Mark Kaminsky a small...

Review of Raw Deal (DVD)

Deal?

Advantages: entertaining viewing
Disadvantages: the show is dull once the contestant has dealt

...Deal or No Deal is one of the most popular game shows on television. A channel four production and presented by Noel Edmonds the show involves twenty two contestants, only one of which can play during an episode. At the start of the show a contestant is selected at random to become that day's player. The player then takes their box to the table in the middle of the studio and assumes their seat in the playing arena. After a brief introductory chat with Noel they begin to play the game. The aim of the game is to go away with the highest sum of money possible, which is £250,000. This is achieved by opening firstly five of the boxes assigned numbers 1 -20 around the studio to reveal monetary values inside which obviously can't be inside the contestants box (east wing and west wing). When they have done this the banker makes them...

Review of Deal Or No Deal

deal or no deal

Advantages: great show
Disadvantages: none

...Deal or no deal is my favorite game show, it is currently on channel 4 early in the evening or late in the afternoon for some, i love watching this and find it very entertaining. The show is presented by Noel Edmonds and is filmed in Bristol. The show starts with 22 contestants choosing randomly one of 22 boxes that all have a money value inside but have been sealed previous to this so no one has any idea what is in there box. One of the 22 contestants is selected to play deal or no deal where they have to play through rounds selecting boxes to be opened in an attempt to eliminate the low numbers listed in blue and keep the high numbers hopefully winning the top prize of £250,000 and not going home with the 1p although there are more people in the 1p club than have won the big prize. In the first round the player gets to...

Review of Deal Or No Deal

Do a deal to miss out on this particular one.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...Ii would just like to write a review on Deal or No Deal, that truly (ummmmmmm) so-called wonderful game that is currently being shown somewhere on Channel Four. OK OK I have checked, it is shown weekdays between the 4 and 5 pm time slot (usually for anything between 45 ? 60 minutes in total) and generally on Saturdays as well but of course these times can change dependent on what else Channel Four is showing. There are as always endless repeats on cable/ sky, so watch out for them! Hosted by that ever popular; ever loved person who can only really be described as Noel Edmonds, the format on each and every programme is the same. At the start of the programme, 1 person is picked out of the 22 who are in the studio to sit in the famous chair in order to play the game. All 22 players are given a box with various cash amounts in it, from...

Review of Deal Or No Deal

Deal or no Deal

Advantages: Great show
Disadvantages: Bad host

...Deal or no deal is a TV gameshow on channel 4. It is hosted by Noel Edmonds. The rules 22 people are featured in each game but only one will play for cash. Each episode one of the twenty two people is chosen to play the game. The others stay there until they are chosen to play. Once someone has played, they leave and one new person is added to the remaining twenty one for the next episode. Each person chooses a box, numbered one to twenty two at random before the game starts. The boxes each contain a card with a cash value of the box wrote on it. The person who is chosen takes their box to a chair opposite all of the other people. They then choose boxes and find out how much they are worth. They win the amount of money that is in the last box. (Their own) However, every few boxes the player recieves a phone call from...

Review of Deal Or No Deal

Deal Or No Deal? I would no deal to the end!

Advantages: Great show, good format.
Disadvantages: Can become a bit repetitive

...Deal Or No Deal is now shown 6 times a week on Channel 4 and repeats are readily available online and on More 4 during the day and early evening at various times. The format of the gameshow is that there are 22 players with 22 identical sealed boxes, each containing a cash amount from 1p up to £250,000. Each day a player is selected 'at random' to play along and open up those boxes to find some cash amounts. Each player has selected their own box at random and then the player who is selected 'at random' by the computer comes up to the centre of the room and is seated on a little round table along with the box they selected and sometimes players will have good luck charms or photographs etc and there is always a little story behind what they have. Deal or No Deal is hosted by Noel Edmunds (Noel's House Party, Are You Smarter Than...

Review of Deal Or No Deal

Deal Or No Deal For All The Family

Advantages: Quick gameplay, Fairly Decent Graphics, Different Games Available
Disadvantages: I Think You Will Tire Of It Fairly Quickly

...My wife and I are both big Deal Or No Deal fans, and we are avid watchers of the quiz show. We tried the Deal Or No Deal DVD game last christmas, and, like most people I have spoken to about it, found it to be far too slow. When my wife realised they had brought out a version for the Nintendo Wii she put it on her christmas list! When I discovered it on her list I decided it would be a very good buy as I fancied it myself also! Loading The Game When you insert the disc and click on the Deal Or No Deal icon, you are met with a red box from the show and the familiar theme tune, you can then create a new profile for yourself which I will cover later. Once you have created a profile it will appear on this page and you will be able to click on your name to go into the game. The next menu you are met with gives you five choices; new...

Review of Deal Or No Deal: The Banker Is Back (Wii)

Deal or No Deal

Advantages: realistic like the tv show
Disadvantages: can get boring and take too long to play

...I was doing some Christmas shopping in Woolworths last week and spotted the Deal or No Deal Interactive DVD for £13.97 and bought it. We watch Deal or No Deal on channel 4 a few times a week and quite enjoy the programme. When I brought the DVD home and put all of the Christmas presents away me and my partner had a turn each playing the game to see if we could beat Mr Banker and take all of his money. The Interactive DVD is exactly like the TV programme and has the same theme tune, rules, presenter, and question "Deal or No Deal?" The interactive DVD didn't have any rules or instructions with it, but it is really easy to play and operate because you use the arrow keys on your DVD player's remote control. You can also play the DVD game on your PC and use your mouse to select the boxes etc. Because the interactive DVD doesn...

Review of Deal Or No Deal 1 (DVDi)

Smackdown vs Raw 2009

Advantages: Quality Graphics, Great Gameplay, New Features
Disadvantages: No GM mode!

...Media: Video Game Genre: Sports/Fighting/ Wrestling Platform: Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, WII, PC Publisher: THQ Developer: Yuke's Ratings: 16 and over Release Date: 7th November 2008 Price: £29.99 This is WWE Smack down vs. Raw 2009, and it's the best franchise they've made. The graphics are literally outstanding. I didn't know where to start with this one at first, but I will start by saying how they always add a new feature to the game. This time, they've added the Roster Editor; I've always been waiting for them to add this. The Roster Editor is a feature where you can change the superstars from 'Face to heal' and from 'Heal to Face' (They're either liked or disliked by the crowd). This new mode is quick an easy, you don't even have go on 'Create-A-Wrestler' this time, all the superstars are on one screen. It would...
