Amped Out!

Advantages: Very Funny, really quirky, very good to pick up and play, value for money ++
Disadvantages: might be to strange for some

...Amped 3 is the third game in a line of snowboarding games from Indie Built/2K Sports and it expands on the previous two games in the fact that again it is a X-Box exclusive. The game was released with the console as part of the launch line ups therefore one of the first next generation games available. Amped 3 is as i said a snowboarding game, but there are things in this game which set it apart from rivals such as the SSX series. Not only is your character fully customisable from what hair style they have to what shoes they wear and everything inbetween, Amped 3 is also a sandbox game but i will come onto that later in the review. The story to Amped 3 is very light hearted as is to be expected, it is after all a sports game so there is no sweeping and epic story line here. You and your bunch of friends wand to become...

Review of Amped 3 (Xbox 360)

Amped 3

Advantages: Long lasting, Great cutscenes
Disadvantages: No online play, Lacking graphics

...Amped 3 is one of the Xbox 360's launch titles but is it one of the better ones? We shall see.. Gameplay: When you first look at Amped 3 you may think it is just one of your typical snowboarding games, just another SSX you may say, well you are wrong. Amped 3 has its own unique playing style, yes the controls are similar to other snowboarding games, yes the moves are the same, but that is where the similarities end. Amped 3 puts you in the role of a young man in a snowboarding crew, and it starts you off in a giant pink bunny suit, strange I know. Anyway you need to go round the mountains, and I say mountains because there are about 8 mountains in total for you to explore, however they need to be unlocked by completing the story mode first. You need to complete various tasks on the mountains, from grinding challenges, to impressing...

THE GAME TRUELY GETS YOU AMPED!

Advantages: READ OPINON :)
Disadvantages: READ OPINON :)

...The snowboarding genre is kind of an old one now.. original extreme sport games like Coolboarders, 1080 really brough extreme sports to the table, bringing oportunaties for games like Tony Hawk and Dave Mirra. However the snowboarding genre really hit our hearts when games like SSX was released, inventing the enjoyment of fantasy snowboarding. Remember Games like Pro Boarder for the PS1 that was a great fresh attempt for the console generation. With such games like SSX franchises topping the PS2 console chart for the extreme sports genre, we can't help but expect more of the same insane air, fun-nutty tricks, and all-out wacky characters in their snowboarding game...Then we got Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding, how can people not be excited for a fresh new snowboarding game other than the great SSX, i was definately excited..for one its...

Review of Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding (Xbox)

Crank up the Amp

Advantages: Extremely powerful, especially for visualisations
Disadvantages: Sound can break up sometimes

...a shrine to their favourite person! Winamp comes with the standard skin, but more can be downloaded from the Winamp site and various other third party sites. The features of Winamp feature from the abosolute basic (such as Play, Stop, Next Track, etc.) to the more advanced features (visualisations, equaliser, etc.) These are very easy to grasp, even to the most novice of users. WinAmp plays most media files, including MP3, WMA, WAV and CDA. It also plays CDs, with the option of CDDB. This allows it to retrieve the CD's track data off the Internet, instead of you typing it in - which you can do if it can't find your CD's track info off the CDDB site. The playback is continuous, with the sound breaking up when CPU-intensive tasks and hard disk intesive tasks are processed, like loading a large application. This is much better than Microsoft...

Review of FastTrack - Nullsoft WinAmp

T0715 for Epson printers

Advantages: cheaper to buy 4 but can also buy singly
Disadvantages: you have to look around for the cheapest as prices do vary

...The inks are Black T0711 Cyan T0712 Magenta T0713 Yellow T0714 Each pack comes in a vacuum wrapping and it is worth to not open until you need it. To use you just pull off the yellow strip and just drop it into your printer. It really is as simple as that. Instructions do say to shake the ink cartridge 4 or 5 times before putting it in but I have forgotten to do that and panic stations, but it made absolutely no difference that I could see but perhaps I was just lucky. These cartridges cannot be refilled and I have not yet seen any recycling place that it happy to receive them - probably just because they cannot be refilled. How long do they last? Well that is like how long is a piece of string as it really does depend on the amount of printing that you do. The colours are all sharp and good though. Summary It...

Review of Epson Multipack T0715 - print cartridge (C13T07154010)

Surely the amp of the decade!

Advantages: Simple Operation. Ease of set up. Fantastic value for money. Great sound.
Disadvantages: None

...I purchased my A5 a sevenoaks hifi outlet. They were very helpful and most of their stores have a listening room. I had the advantage of trying the A5 with all sorts of combinations of speaker and I also tried other amps in the price range. The A5 comes in a ultra sleek casing which at first glance will maybe give you a little uncertainty as to how to place it. Whist the casing is futuristic in style it could also be coined as retro. Whatever way you view it the sturdy aluminium looking case will appeal to all but the most difficult to impress type. Now for the good bit. To put the picture in context I was upgrading from a amp in the £400 range so maybe it wouldnt of taken to much to impress me? Right? Wrong!! As a proffesional musician I have been used to hearing live music and hopefully have a reasonable ear. I had brought along 3...

Review of Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated AMP

Bullet Amp an Excellent starter

Advantages: Perfect for the beginner, great clean tone, 3 band eq.
Disadvantages: Distortion circuit not the greatest, no reverb

...I bought a Fender Bullet 15 amplifier when I wanted an amp with a good clean tone. The salesman at Sam Ash in NYC took me immediately to the Bullet 15 and I was not disappointed. I play almost exclusively in the bedroom of my apartment and the Bullet fit perfectly. It was loud enough with its distorted tone if I wanted to shake the walls but its real value is in its clean tone. It is the classic Fender clean tone. The amp has 3-band equalization to adjust the sound to your liking. For an amp that cost about $100, you can't go wrong if you want a great clean tone in a small package. However, if you want distortion, I wouldn't recommend this product. The Fender distortion circuit is not the best, if you are looking for distortion, look at Marshall or Laney. But for clean tone and a great price for a starter amp, you can't go wrong...

Review of Fender Bullet Amp

A little gem

Advantages: Great sound, amazing price, portable if required.
Disadvantages: Low power - not for inefficient speakers

...with excitement and drive. I actually found it distracting to try to work at my PC as I kept looking up as each singer or sound was so clearly located in space. With these speakers, bass was clearly limited, so I needed to check what the amp could really do. This is only a 5 watt amp for practical purposes, so speakers must be efficient to pair with it. I was currently building a pair of double bass reflex speakers using the Fostex FE83e units and Fostex enclosure design, and these looked to be an ideal pairing. Once this set up was in place in my main listening room, using good quality speaker cable (but not heavy gauge - because of spring connectors), and a Denon CD player as a source, the sound was brilliant. All the previous items that I had identified were there, plus a wider soundstage and solid bass. I have only used the amp and speakers...

Review of Sonic Impact Class T Amp

V-Amp2 - A rack of amps and effects at a low cost

Advantages: A multitude of sounds easily accessed at a low price
Disadvantages: No power off switch, some bits hard to get at

...I am actually reviewing the V-Amp 2 as that is what I have and is the newer version. The vamp is a similar unit to the POD in tat it is an amp modelling unit with multiple effects but costs about half as much. I have tried both and cannot see any real difference in quality. There are a number of Amps accessable and also speaker emulations. Also the usual effects (Echo, Phaser, Compressor etc). You can only use one effect at a time and that is a little limiting however with the amps you get a very good variety. From clean through blues amps to out and out hard rock you can get the sound you want. It is easy to access the presets but you will soon find yourself modifying them and saving your own. This is fairly easy to do but you will need to read the manual (This can be confusing but if you take one thing at a time you will get...

Review of Behringer V-Amp

T & C

Advantages: A great challenge from Coolaskaha
Disadvantages: A corny response

...Coolaskaha has authored this challenge, and Christianfilmcritic did a good version of it. In my twisted sense of humour, I saw opportunities to make my pals groan - so here we go.! 1. ITV or BBC? It was neither - I promise you - when I didn't turn up for church that week, I was genuinely sick, and I was not watching ITV or BBC, not even UKTV? I was really sick. 2. Sunny or Rainy? Of course its rainy at the moment.! How can you possibly ask if its sunny, when this is spring time in Ireland 3. Cat or Dog? I would be quite prepared to eat either actually, and think that I probably have at some time or other; but if you are offering them in a stir fry with crispy noodles, I think the cat may be more tender, thanks. 4. Cod or Haddock? I've been sitting on the beach for three hours today, and I haven't caught anything yet, so...
