San Andreas

Advantages: Massive Game, Great Graphics
Disadvantages:

...GTA San Andreas Well this is the next great game in the series of GTA. It is so much bigger and better than the one before it. It allows for so much more interaction in the game. Now being able to do things such as going to the gym and play games etc it is just beyond all other gaming experiences. I have found that the game is just totally massive there are three different islands which are all huge. I've had the game for over a year and still seem to be finding things to do. The main aim of the game is to get respect. You can do this by completing missions and advancing in the game. Another way in which to get respect would be to have great stamina and muscles etc. The game has so much detail involved it's quite incredible. You start off at the beginning of the game trying to find your way home on a bicycle; this is the very...

San Miguel!

Advantages: reasonable strength, refreshing, tasty, cheap.
Disadvantages: not for repeated consumption.

...San Miguel Premium is a very tasty lager beer thats got a really sweet, refreshing aftertaste that is great for the cash. If you fancy a bit of a change, it is definitely worth a try. Like any alcohol, it is best enjoyed in moderation. However this one moreso, as it starts to get a little bit sickly after the third or fourth pint. It is something to drink between different beers, if not on its own. -- Definitely not something you can drink all night. Its best to buy in a supermarket as it is disproportionately cheaper than in a pub. It is available in ASDA and TESCO in both cans and bottles. It is thirst-quenching and best served chilled and is often enjoyed in hot climates. As the name may have led you to believe, it is very popular in Spain and is the strongest export of Spanish Beer. 4%. ABV. Summary: A fine Spanish Beer...

Review of San Miguel Premium Lager

Sunny San Diego

Advantages: Gorgeous scenery, sunshine
Disadvantages: transport links

...I visited San Diego last October due to a work meeting. As it was such a long way to travel I thought it would be a good idea to add on a few days holiday to explore the area with a friend who was coming along. Getting There There are direct flights to San Diego from London however at the time these were three times as expensive as a fare with stopovers in the US and with a friend coming I wanted our flights to be as cheap as possible. Our flights went from Heathrow to Washington where we changed planes for a flight to Chicago and then another change for a plane to LA, where we got our final plane to San Diego. This may seem too much for some, but for me it was great as the plane changing gave me a chance to stretch my legs. I think I would have found 13 hours cooped up in a plane too much! One thing I did ensure was that the route...

Review of San Diego (California)

The discreet charm of the Casa San Blas

Advantages: A five-star stay?
Disadvantages: ?with just three-star facilities

...simplicity often trumps ritzy ostentation. Attentive service matters, but nothing is nastier than the kind of smarmy obsequiousness that always seems to mask a sneer. And so on. Maybe it's simply down to that indefinable essence known as character or personality. These inconsequential musings are prompted by my trying to pinpoint what it was about the Casa San Blas at Cusco that I liked so much. The hotel is certainly not without its limitations and even its failings, but it's a nevertheless a charming and delightful place to stay. Let's try to summarise what it has to offer. * Location * The Casa San Blas is situated just a few minutes' walk from Cusco's Plaza de Armas (central square), and is therefore convenient for all the main sights of the ancient Inca capital, such as the Qorikancha (Sun Temple), the Cathedral...

Review of Casa San Blas, Cusco

A San Frantastic Boutique Hotel

Advantages: The price, the location, the staff, the rooms, everything
Disadvantages: ...our shower was like needles

...Introduction: So, we're stuck in Albuquerque, and have pretty much seen about as much desert as we can take. We've 'done' all there is to do. With a spare weekend on our hands, we decided to take advantage of our Geographical positioning and take a trip to somewhere on the west coast. I've always wanted to see San Francisco, and after looking into flights, we found some bargains. So off we go. We looked for reasonable hotels, and came across The Petite Auberge, it wasn't the cheapest we found, but it had an appealing charm that won us over, so we booked. Company info: The Petite Auberge is part of the Joie De Vivre chain, I found this information on their website: "Joie de Vivre Hotels is California's largest boutique hotel company. Started in San Francisco in 1987 by Chip Conley, while in his mid-twenties, Joie de...

Review of Petite Auberge, San Francisco

San Andreas

Advantages: Good physics, Fun plotline, Overall Indepth feeling
Disadvantages: Gunfights feel a little clunky at times, Bugs can become annoying

...An amazing, open ended game, that will leave you wanting more. and you can have more, due to it being open ended. you start the game as someone with very little money, no idea of what to do, and a bicycle. From there, it's your choice. Take up the storyline, or just mess around in the large world of San Andreas. This game is centered around crime though, and if your a pacifist, i wouldn't recommend buying it. It would be extremely hard to get through the game without stealing a single car, or killing a single person, and if you try to, i imagine it would be very dull and boring. The game isn't overly hard, but it's not too easy either, giving you just the right mix of game play to be enjoyable. As i said, you can break off any of the story lines to goof around in the city, going where ever you please, but it's worth completing...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Advantages: fantastic free roaming experience, great sound and graphics, endless enjoyment
Disadvantages: Not many

...major release is San Andreas, which was initially released on the PS2 but has since been released on both the PC and the Xbox. I am surprised about the delay in launching to PC and XBox as I always believed GTA was originally designed for the PC. But delays aside, Rockstar finally brought out their famous GTA San Andreas on other platforms which meant that it reached a much wider audience, and the result was astounding. I remember shortly after it was released on PS2 all I would ever hear about from fellow gamers was San Andreas and how it has changed the gaming world. Having now completed the game twice (once with cheats, and once without) I remain convinced that this is one of Rockstars greatest releases.... ever. To be honest, San Andreas is a dramatic improvement on its predecessors, Vice City and GTA III, although they were both...

Castillo San Miguel

Advantages: Superb horses and some great eye candy for the ladies
Disadvantages: Horrible fod, revolting wine, uncomfortable seats and miserable staff

...Castillo San Miguel Tenerife. Links: http://www.castillosanmiguel.com in English, Spanish, French and German. http://www.teneriferesorts.com/any/trwmiguelcastle.aspx Whilst on holiday in Tenerife this summer 2007, our tour representative did a reasonable job on her sales pitch by convincing me to book another of her excursions. Not only had I just booked a Catamaran cruise for an afternoon but I had now also paid my euros to spend an evening at the Castillo San Miguel for a Medieval Evening. I did not visit during the day so cannot comment on what is available at this time. If you are ever holidaying on the island of Tenerife, then please read on before you commit yourself to a very different evening's entertainment. *** Object of the Evening*** Castillo San Miguel covers approximately 6,000 square metres...

Review of Castillo San Miguel, Tenerife

Quick tour of San Francisco!

Advantages: Got to see alot in a short space of time
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive. Mostly on the bus

...Gray Line San Francisco Sightseeing This Gray Line San Francisco sightseeing tour lasts approximately three and half-hours. It will take you around different sights and areas of interest in San Francisco. They depart daily at 9.15am, 11.15am and 2.15pm. It costs in American dollars $44 (adult), $22 (child) and $42 (seniors over 60). To give you an idea of the current exchange rate 1 United States Dollar is equal to approximately 0.61 British pounds. We booked out tour in out hotel, which included a transfer bus to our tour. The tour started in Fisherman's Wharf, which we drove through seeing the unique little restaurants, which was buzzing with people. Then we drove through Chinatown and the financial district. A short stop at Mission Dolores was next where we stopped for food. It was a Catholic mission church, which you...

Review of San Francisco (Gray Line City Tour)

Still the best GTA! San Andreas!

Advantages: Massive area to roam
Disadvantages: Graphics are a bit funny at times

...Wow where can I begin? This is my favorite game of all time, which is amazing because my top games are usually RPGs on the PC. So what do I like about this? Storyline The story line is quite somthing, much better that the other GTA titles by far. GTA:SA is set in the early 1990's in San Andreas (California) It really kept me gripped to the game. If you havn't played previous GTA games don't worry, its not a sequel in terms of the story line so if you havn't played other GTA games you will understand what is going on from the beggining. However you will miss out on a few liitle extras but nothing serious. Graphics The PS2 is really up for a challenge with this game, The graphics on the game are good but they do ficker and if you are going at top speed in the fastest car not everything loads on time. This doesn't happen often so it...
