The Team Works!

Advantages: You'll laugh from start to finish
Disadvantages: So hard, you might wet yourself.

...It?s all been a bit quiet from Trey Parker and Matt Stone in recent years. Since they offended mothers everywhere with their foul mouthed ?South Park? cartoons, UK audiences haven?t heard a great deal from them. Indeed, even US audiences haven?t had a great deal, with their sitcom being a flop and their last major newsworthy event being an appearance in dresses at the 2000 Oscars. Fans of their earlier work, which includes most people who like swearing, will have been waiting anxiously for ?Team America: World Police?, particularly after ?South Park? took a downturn in later seasons. Do Parker and Stone still have what it takes to cause outrage? The answer is an emphatic ?yes?. Nothing is sacred where this film is concerned. From ?X-Men? to ?Pearl Harbor?, every action film from recent years is spoofed all using puppets in...

Team Fortress 2 (updated)

Advantages: good team play, fun graphics, constantly updated and improved
Disadvantages: hard!

...Since Team Fortress 2 has been updated alot lately, i only think its fair i update my review. TF2 is a first person shooter, online multiplayer fiasco. Its like Battlefield 2 took some drugs with Walt Disney and then got in a washing machine and set its self to rinse. The graphics, as you can see, are very cartoony, as was the case with TF classic (so im lead to believe). But dont let that put you off. They are awfully good graphics and its quite a pretty game. Its worth mentioning that like the battlefield series of games, (and others) TF2 has "classes". There's the scout, Pyro, heavy, demoman, soldier, medic, spy, engineer and sniper. Unlike other games though, the classes here are very very different. The difference between the Scout and Heavy for example are astronomical. The scout has only 150 health, a bat, a pistol and shotgun...

Team Fortress 2 - the most original game for a long time!

Advantages: Truly original and completely addictive, great community for all players
Disadvantages: No use if you are unable to play online

...What sort of gamer are you in general, a quick, raiding wasp of a player who attacks and runs away unscathed - then repeats? Or maybe a turtle who enjoys the safety of his own castle while raining down destruction on far off enemies while providing vital aid for nearby allies? Or maybe, just maybe you'll realise that you are a highly skilled villain - the much feared and respected scum of the gaming world who uses clever underhand tactics and mind games to dominate? Do any of these sound like you? Well they describe perfectly just a few opportunities open to you in Team Fortress 2, the Scout is a nimble baseball fan armed with a scattergun and a baseball bat who can run circles around slower enemies until... He runs into range of an engineer's sentry gun built nicely into a corner with its turtle-like maker crouching behind it...

Go home, team!

Advantages: Some comedy, nice message.
Disadvantages: Cheesy story, not the best acting.

...So I'm sat in my room bored and decide to have a browse through my DVD collection, which includes a bunch of cheap two on one disc movie sets which came with my DVD player. I come across one after reading a few blurbs, about a former football hero who is forced into community service at a children's home. The homes administrator Karen is desperate to find an outlet for the kid's undoubted energy and tries to persuade Butler to coach a team; but he rejects the idea. The tale of this group of misfits starts when they enter the football league anyway with no strip, no sponsors and no coach and find themselves on a loosing streak, yet through all this they manage to show team spirit and each defeat strengthens the bond between them; doesn't that just sound adorable? And so it begins with an unmemorable line as he enters the "rat trap...

Review of Home Team (DVD)

Team America: World Police review

Advantages: Original, hilarious songs
Disadvantages: May be too offensive for some

...Team America: World Police is the latest film from Trey Parker and Matt Stone, better known as the creative geniuses behind South Park. If you've seen South Park, you'll know what you're in for here. The film is about Gary Johnston, a popular Broadway actor who is recruited by Team America, a counter terrorism force, a group of the best of the best, to help them in the global war against terrorism. They need him to infiltrate a terrorist cell and find out what they're planning next. This is a more personal mission for Team America as they lost one of their own in Paris during an attack. Along the way Gary has to contend with celebrities, his own failures, and love along the way, but will he be able to pull himself together and help save the day? The puppets in this film are all excellently made, with lots of facial and joint...

Review of The A-Team (DVD)

Team fortress 2 AKA Reason to buy the orange box

Advantages: Fun, quick to learn, lots of variety
Disadvantages: internet required

...This game was another great investment in my wallet. When i first saw this game i thought wow. A cartoon team fortress this will ruin the game. But as i watched more and more and more previews, i thought this game is gonna be so good. I was correct. There are thousands of dedicated servers for team fortress 2. This game has good graphics, good sound, great game play, longevity, and a great value for money. Once again great investment. 1. Now lets start with game play. There is one noticeably BIG downside to this game. People with a short budget. This game REQUIRES INTERNET I REPEAT IT REQUIRES INTERNET. must i say it again? requires internet. But the game is for the internet and nothing else. i can't imagine a game like this with a single player mode being long and or good. Now with the internet game play there are a few different...

Time Team

Advantages: Great programme
Disadvantages: None

...Time Team is one of my all time favourite TV programmes. I have always been interested in TV programmes about archaeology, even when I was a small child. I can still remember the frisson of fear whenever the team of archaeologists were using their tools to disinter a human skeleton! I would always draw my legs up underneath me on the sofa, when skeletons were being dealt with. Well, you never knew when you were nine what horrors might lurk beneath the sofa? Fast forward to the early 1990s and after I had been employed as an archaeological excavation worker and researcher for an archaeology unit. The unit had, by then, virtually closed down, due to losing funding from the Department of Employment. A pity, as I would almost certainly have still been employed by the unit digging things up, cataloguing them and doing research into...

Review of Channel 4 - Time Team

Like Drama Try The Dream Team

Advantages: Good plots, well written, even if you hate footy.
Disadvantages: None I can think of except it could be on more often.

...I thought I'd write a review on one of my favourite programs, Dream team which airs on sky one. Now I am your typical girl you might say hate footy would'nt sit and watch it if I could be doing anything else. But this program I have watched since it started and have just finished watching the seveneth series. To give you an idea of what dream team is about i'll go into some detail and some of my favourite moments of late. Dream team is about a football club called Harchester United, (The dragons). To give you an idea of some of what has just happened at the end of the previous series, the then gaffa Don Barker had murdered one of the clubs long standing plays Carl Fletcher. This all came about after another bout of match fixing in which Carl was asked to poison Ryan Naysmith to take him out of play. Carl actually ended up poisoning...

Review of Dream Team

Time for the Team to Dig

Advantages: Educational, Entertaining
Disadvantages: None for me!

...First shown on Channel 4 way back in 1994, this is a programme that I would watch with my parents. I have to admit that I did not take much notice of it then, but in recent weeks have taken to watching the re-runs on the More4 channel. The current series is running on Channel 4 at 5.45 pm on Sunday evenings. Presented by Tony Robinson (who many will remember as Baldrick in the Black Adder series), Time Team is essentially a programme about archaeology and the excavating of artefacts which can be dated back as far as the Bronze Age. The main remit of the show is the fact that the team travel around the country and carry out digs at various locations where there could be some historical interest. One programme that was very interesting was where a middle aged couple unearthed a skeleton in their garden, and it turned out that...
