You're Either S.W.A.T. Or You're Not.

Advantages: Some brilliant action sequences
Disadvantages: An obvious set up for more films

...Police service and tries to work his way back into SWAT. This decision doesn?t sit well with Brian who thinks Street has ratted him out to the boss. About six months later a new SWAT team leader has been brought in by the Chief to get the team into shape and get together a crack team. SGT Hondo (Samuel L Jackson) isn?t one of the Captains favourite people so his choice of team was always going to be hard to get approved. While this is happening Alex Montel, one of the worlds most wanted and dangerous criminals in the world has been arrested. The new SWAT team are given the job of transporting the prisoner. Only problem is he?s offered anyone who breaks him out a hefty $100 million. The SWAT team have to watch their back as everyone is trying to get this guy out for the ?reward?.

Miele S5281: Don't make a Miele of the housework

Advantages: Specialist cleaning, well made and reliable
Disadvantages: None

...Well, my rubbish old vacuum eventually kicked the bucket so it was time for me to rush out and buy (well, add to my credit card) my beautiful new Miele vacuum having heard rave reviews about them from friends. I checked the which guide and other review sites and found that they were rated very highly which confirmed my choice of make and that just left the model to choose. I decided on the S5281 as it seemed a good, powerful, all-rounder. Then came the hunt to find the best price or deal, having not spent any money for while since having a baby I thought that a purchase of nearly £200 online would guarantee me some good discount, cashback or loyalty points. I found the vacuum for between £195 and £200 in many places and also found it in Argos for £175 - same model number but a slightly different name. I was a bit suspicious so...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R - the time has finally arrived.

Advantages: Very good game play scenarios
Disadvantages: Difficult to explain. Some bugs with Windows Vista

...S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow Of Chernobyl This was going to be an interesting game?.. or so I had thought. I know it had been touted since May 2005, but I didn't get it until this summer, but my understanding is it didn't get released until early this year, but I don't know how accurate this information is. A little about the game now >> Publisher THQ Developer GSC Game World Genre First-Person Shooter Origin: Russia Release Date Unsure? I really wasn't sure what to expect when I first began playing this game. I knew little about it, other than it was a first person shooter style. I love it! Now its a simple enough comment to make, but it certainly isn't a simple game to try and explain. So the real problem begins when I try and tell people just what this game is! Its like a mix of so many different games over...

S.W.A.T. rocks

Advantages: great action
Disadvantages: a bit over the top

...i was looking forward to seeing S.W.A.T. (special weapons and tactics) ever since i watched the American trailer July for the august 8th release there but i was amazed to find out that the UK release date was not till December which is very rare in a day where most films are released within a few weeks of each other both sides of the Atlantic or even on the same day (matrix 2+3, LOTR, X men 2 etc) so after a long 4 month wait I finally went to see it 2 weeks ago and i must say it was worth the long wait to see as it was very entertaining and not just on of those action films where the best bits are in the trailer. Director: Clark Johnson (the shield) Cast: Samuel L Jackson (changing lanes, jakie brown) Colin Farrell (the recruit, phone booth) Michelle Rodriguez (resident evil, blue crush) LL Cool J (Deep blue sea, rollerball...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow of Chernobyl

Advantages: Lots of atmosphere, good story, combat can be fun and exciting, large game area
Disadvantages: Buggy, fairly average graphics, game area disrupted by loading times

...While not being quite as good as I had hoped after reading some initial reviews of the game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R is still well worth a look. Set in the area surrounding the Chernobyl power plant, the game has you exploring the radiation-filled 'Zone' in an attempt to find out its secrets, while battling the different factions, army troops and mutants that inhabit it. The story of the game is fairly intriguing, and without giving too much away, there are multiple endings to the game depending on whether the player follows the main plot or not, and also on the player's rating at the end of the game. Throughout the game you are given missions by the NPCs that you meet, some of which are related to the story of the game, and others which you can choose whether you want to do them or not. However, the fact that some of the major storyline...

Good - but not the best Volvo S60

Advantages: Style, performance, comfort, good economy for performance, well built
Disadvantages: Not S60 prime model

...Right up front I am going to confess that I am writing this as a slightly frustrated non-Volvo S60 driver. Strange statement that don't you think but there we are out here in the big bad world we do not always get what we want??. ??.and we (Mrs Richada and I) really wanted a Volvo S60, but not as it happens, this the most powerful 220bhp 2.4 litre T5 Sport version. 15 years ago I would have not looked at a Volvo fullstop. However if the S60 had then been on the market, this the fastest one would have been my natural choice. Maturity and certain financial commitments now mean that I am inclined to make far more rational choices when it comes to choosing a car, no matter if I pay for it, or is currently the case I have a free choice of company car up to a given budget. Part of my maturity also gives me pangs of conscience...

T.S.O.L - The EP that started an evolution

Advantages: Great insight into Orange County Punk, and early Goth
Disadvantages: none really, the two EP's combined contrast oddly, but thats a good thing in my opinion

..."President Reagan can shove it!" is the final knife into the government's back in the legendary song "Superficial Love," written in 1980 by T.S.O.L. That, of course, was the era when punk bands wrote vitriolic, anti-government anthems and questioning authority was the norm, not the exception. T.S.O.L. are a punk band from California. T.S.O.L stands for 'True Sounds of Liberty' but they are rarely referred to by their full name. The band formed in 1979, and are made up of; Jack Grisham on vocals, Ron Emory playing guitar (previously of punk rock band The Vandals), Mike Roche on bass guitar, and originally they had Todd Barnes (also previously of The Vandals) on Drums, however he died on December 6, 1999, and has not yet been replaced, they just use a stand in, in shows, and credit them. When they launched onto the Orange County...

Review of TSOL/Weathered Statues - T.S.O.L.

S.W.A.T

Advantages: Pretty good and principle
Disadvantages: result missed a bit

...Jim Street (Colin Farrell) and his partner Gamble (Jeremy Renner) are members of a Los Angles S.W.A.T. unit (Special Weapons and Tactics). Gamble is a bit headstrong; when he disobeys orders (but saves the hostage) at a bank robbery he puts both of their careers in danger. The very arrogant, Capt. Fuller (Larry Poindexter) wants to demote them for their activity - Gamble quits the force but Street is willing to take his lumps in the off chance that he can rejoin S.W.A.T but he's going to have to shine a lot of boots and clean a bunch of guns before that's going to happen. "Hondo" (Samuel L. Jackson) comes back under Fuller, and is given the opportunity to recruit and train 5 cops for a new S.W.A.T. team. "Hondo" rounds up the best of the best - 2 guys he has already worked with, Boxer (Brian Van Holt) and T.J. (Josh Charles), the very...
