Beautiful

Advantages: Stunning hotel, great staff and in the heart of Universal resort
Disadvantages: Cost can soon add up

...On my last trip to Orlando I stayed at two different hotels - one being this one, The Royal Pacific Resort. I was only there for 4 nights but I truly fell in love with this hotel and would if I could, come back again. The hotel: The hotel is part of the Loews hotels and is also included in the Universal resort in Orlando. It is a 5 star hotel and is ideal for those that want luxury at the same time as being in the heart of Universal. Location and surroundings: The hotel is set in the area of universal but, as it is set back it is nice and quiet in the evenings. The main area of universal can be reached by walking or you can get the complimentary shuttle boats that run back and forth all evening up until approx 2AM. The nightlife of city walk is just around the corner and the boats drop and pick up from right 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...

  Wii Resort For Island Sports

Advantages: Some great mini-games that really show off the MotionPlus accessory
Disadvantages: Expensive to fully kit out two remotes. One or two less compelling mini-games

...INTRODUCTION Our Nintendo Wii has been hibernating under our TV, gathering dust since shortly after Christmas. The Wii party games made a brief appearance for the holidays and the shine of Wii Fit wore off after our New Year?s resolutions met with their usual success and longevity (i.e. none). It?s a fab console, but it?s very ease of ?pick up and play? makes it just as easy to ignore in favour of other pursuits. However, we were intrigued by the promise and novelty of the new Wii MotionPlus gadget, and when Wii Sports Resort (WSR) ? essentially Wii Sports 2 ? was announced, it was immediately added to our Wish List. As such, I was delighted when I received it for my birthday last week, and It has played a part in our nightly entertainment since. WHAT?S IN THE BOX WSR comes packaged with the game (in its own DVD...

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...

Pink Palace

Advantages: comfortable, friendly, yummy food
Disadvantages: none

...While on my recent tour around New Zealand, we stayed in 12 different hotels. Yes indeedy folks, it wasn't even worth unpacking in most of them. The Paihia Pacific Resort Hotel is situated in the Bay of Islands, on the North Island. This was our base for two nights while we visited 'nearby' Cape Reinga, which was, in fact, about 4-5 hours drive away at the very northernmost tip of the island. But that's nothing to the New Zealanders! * The hotel * Well from my title you can imagine the décor, yes it's got a pale pink exterior. But don't let that put you off. Our tour bus was greeted by the owners, who pointed us in the right direction to our rooms. There are three blocks of accommodation which are all tiered. Our block had two levels and there are fairly steep steps up to your room if you're not on ground level, so it...

The Royal Wee

Advantages: Easy toclean
Disadvantages: My son removes wee defender

...My son?s Royal Throne I bought my son a royal potty from Argos after visiting a friend when he was one year old and Although I considered him to be to young to consider potty training I did want him to have a potty around so that it was a familiar item. What is the Royal Potty? It is a potty that appears to be more comfortable than a normal potty as it is shaped liked a throne with arms and a back. It also has a splash protector at the front designed for little boys more than girls. It also has an additional function that is a fanfare sound when the child passes urine that is activated by the sensor. It is made with plastic that is easy to wipe. It also came with a sticker reward chart My experience First experience When I first bought the potty we were living in temporary accommodation so I...
