Advantages: Afrixa Shox, Dusted, Phat Planet
Disadvantages: Not enough variation amongst the other tracks

...of history is always there like a ball and chain, inescapable and omnipresent, also there to say “ooh it’s not as good as the first one is it?”. The problem is Leftfield released the classic Leftism and then waited a good five years to follow it up. In that time Leftism had almost become a sacred relic. Everybody talked about in revered tones, it was cited as the classic dance album of the 90’s, a smorgasbord of all that was right with crossover music, something that appealed to the weekend raver, the dance puritan, the Indie kid and the causal record buyer. Leftfield could never live up this weight of history and with Rhythm and Stealth they joined so many others in failing the difficult second album trial by fire. The thing is Rhythm and Stealth isn’t a bad album. If it had been released by any other band it may... Read review

...SUMMARY: Lt. Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas), Lt. Kara Wade (Jessica Biel) and Lt. Henry Purcell (Jamie Foxx), have been chosen to fly three new high-tech Navy stealth fighters. Their training completed, the trio are told that an aircraft carrier has been found for them, the Abraham Lincoln, and that they are now ready to commence missions. They are also told that a fourth member will be allocated to their small unit and will be piloting a prototype plane. Having arrived at their destination, the trio of pilots await the arrival of the newest member. The prototype plane finally arrives, and the trio hastily go to greet him, but it’s not really a he, it’s an IT... or to be more precise, it’s an AI. The prototype plane is in fact the military’s latest and greatest combat weapon, an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV), and is piloted... Read review

Advantages: Starts off well. Amazing special effects.
Disadvantages: All over the place. Cruddy dialogue. Can't make up its mind what it wants to be.

...Stealth is an interesting movie, but probably not for the 'right' reasons. While at times it's a completely formulaic action movie, it strives to be more intelligent than it actually is. "In the near future", out of four hundred applicants for a new Navy programme, only three aviators have been selected. Of course, being America, they're all young and easy on the eye and not at all the experienced aviators you'd expect to fly the state of the art machines. Lt. Ben Gannon (the attractive male one), Lt. Kara Wade (the attractive female one) and Lt. Henry Purcell (the black one) are young hotshots with plenty of attitude who work well as a team under their commanding officer, Capt. George Cummings. Having completed their training with (no pun intended) flying colours, Cummings takes the team on their first assignment to the aircraft... Read review

Advantages: Warm and comfortable
Disadvantages: Not easy to get on

...As the warmer weather approaches and the waters around the English coast begin to heat up a little bit I sometimes wonder if the temperature will perhaps rise enough for me to dispense with my bulky dry suit and all the thermal gear and be able to slip into my Pinnacle Stealth semi dry suit, when I say slip what I actually mean is to squeeze, curse and contort my body into said suit as the only main criticism I have of this suit is that it is not the easiest to get into. Not that I can really complain as it did not cost me anything to buy as I was given it by a friend who had stopped diving and could not get anyone to buy it from him. First off for those non divers let me explain the differences between the three types of diving suits. A dry suit is the one most commonly used in the UK where it is very cold in the water most...

Advantages: Very low minimum requirements, great replayability, great career mode, easy to learn but difficult to master
Disadvantages: Poor graphics, old game - may not run on some PC's

...My first impression of F-19 Stealth Fighter was 'What a terrible looking game!', but after learning the in's and out's, which took all of 15 minutes, I found it wasn't as bad as it looked. The graphics, with it being such an old game, are very poor compared to todays latest flight sim's, but you can still make out the various planes, ships, airstrips, etc. The sound is so limited it cannot always use normal speakers, instead using the one inside the PC which produces various nasty beeps. Playing the game, you first create a pilot, then choose from four scenario's such as Libya or Korea. You can then alter many of the gameplay options from realistic landings to veteran enemies to unlimited ammo, then it's on to the mission. Missions are randomly selected from a massive array of types, such as bombing an airfield, taking down an enemy... Read review
