The Wright Stuff

Advantages: Brilliant plot
Disadvantages: No replay value

...Capcom are renowned for their more active titles, like Street Fighter or Devil May Cry, so it is a bit odd that there is no sign of Chun Li or E. Honda on the Nintendo DS. Instead, Capcom have offered up one of the strangest, yet one of the most unique games ever. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a completely text driven adventure, which is originally adapted from the Japanese original called Gyutaken Saiban (?Objection Court?). At the beginning the titular character, Phoenix, is a rookie criminal defence attorney working alongside Mia Fey at her legal firm. Right from the off Mia chucks you into a court room to defend someone accused of murder, and it is your job to get them acquitted. Thankfully, you quickly learn throughout the five cases that your clients are never guilty of their deeds, so there are no moral dilemmas to confront...

Review of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Nintendo DS)

No objections here - Phoenix Wright

Advantages: Different and fun game, easy to play

The Wright Stuff

Advantages: Interesting, Entertaining and Thought Provoking
Disadvantages: Some of the Celebrity Guests can be annoying

...I have been watching The Wright Stuff for about a year now. It is on Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 10:30am on Five and it is repeated on Five Life on the same day from 11:00am - 12:30am. ---------- The Show ---------- The Wright Stuff is a current issues review show and is a usually lighthearted look at topics that are currently making the news. However in its lightheartedness it does not ridicule topics as they are taken seriously and discussed thoroughly. The topics up for discussion are commented on by Matthew Wright, Three celebrity guests, The studio audience and viewers at home. Viewers at home can ring in, text or email their views and opinions on a topic. ------------- The Layout ------------- The layout for the show is the show host Matthew Wright sitting at a desk with three celebrity guests, Two of which are...

Review of Channel 5 - The Wright Stuff

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

WRIGHT FOR ME.

Advantages: super clean feeling.
Disadvantages: Some don't like the aroma

...There are phases that people go through, where they change the products that they use to go along with trends. I have been as guilty of this as most people, although there are classics that stand out in your mind. If you close your eyes and think of different products, then there is always one make that stands out as being memorable or special, and for me, on the subject of soaps, Wrights Coal Tar is one of them. You would think from the name that its made of the tar from coal, but I am not sure of the origins of the name, just that indeed it has no coal tar in it at all. The soap comes in a unique and distinguishable brightly coloured packet and it's not fancy at all, just very easy to notice when you are searching for soaps. On opening it, you immediately get the smell of the soap which to me is pleasurable, although some say...

Review of Wright's CoalTar Soap

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney review

Advantages: Engaging, clever, fun!
Disadvantages: None

...Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is the first in the Phoenix Wright series. You play as the titular defense attorney, a rookie who has only just started to defend clients. There are fives cases, each to do with a murder. They are all basically the same; the evidence points quite strongly to your client but they swear they didn't do it. So, you investigate the case, finding evidence etc, and try to win your client their freedom. Except for the first case, each chapter cycles between two different phases: The Investigation, and The Courtroom Sessions. In the investigation you go to the scene of the crime and various other places related to the key figures in the case and gather as much evidence as you can that proves your client is innocent. The courtroom sessions is the trial itself, where you will present said evidence and try and get...

Review of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Nintendo DS)

Phoenix Wright - Ace Game!

Advantages: Interesting storylines, addictive, nice graphics, interesting characters
Disadvantages: Some parts can be difficult to get past, to start with its a bit too easy

...I bought this game recently after having got the impression that it was a 'must have' game for the DS. I have to say, Nintendo are particularly good at coming up with original games and this game does work pretty well on the DS platform. Being a bit of a crime show fan and having seen plenty of court room footage/drama shows on TV (Law & Order and so on) also made me keen on this game, as its all about guiding a rookie lawyer by the name of, you guessed it, Phoenix Wright, through a number of cases, in order to make him, again you guessed it!, an ace attorney (somewhat cheesy I know!). This game, which in a way could be seen as being more like an interactive TV show or movie than a game in the traditional sense, uses the Nintendo DS touch screen technology. Sometimes the lower screen shows a square box with an outline of Phoenix...

Review of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Nintendo DS)

The Steven Gerrard I adore!

Advantages: Very interesting.
Disadvantages: Nothing

...Why did I buy this book? I guess like most people you see an autobiography of a famous person you like and you have to have it. I have also been a fan of Liverpool football team and as you will probably guess Steven Gerrard is my favourite footballer! I This books starts from the beginning of his childhood from when Steven would run around the streets of his hometown which is Liverpool playing football. The book then goes on to tell you about his family and then school. Steven Gerrard's parents realised they had a special son who was very talented when it came to football. Since Steven was little all he ever wanted to do was play football. In the book it tells you how he's dreams of becoming a footballer nearly came to an end when he accidentally kicked the prong of a garden for which embedded itself in his toe. Luckily he...

Review of Gerrard: My Autobiography - Steven Gerrard

The Wright's Stuff

Advantages: Fast and easy to prepare, inexpensive, delicious fresh savoury bread/rolls
Disadvantages: Too moreish....

...Squiggles: Crikey Freddles! We’ve only had a request to write another joint op, yes admittedly, only the one request (bless you stevethesleeve!) but it’s one more than zilch isn’t it? Anyway, Steve suggested that we write an opinion on one of the pre-mixed bread packs we’ve waffled on at length about in our previous bread based ops and as luck would have it, Ciao already have a category for the Wright’s pack....lo and behold, the very same bread mix that we tried in my machine during our bakeathon! So I’m sat here with the remains of the pack in front of me ready to share my thoughts and no doubt that the F word will have summat to say too, even if most of it is pure and unadulterated garbage! ;O) So, to the product then! What you actually get for your 70 pence is a packet of ready mixed dry...

Review of Wright's Parmesan and Sun Dried Tomato Bread Mix

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...
