Advantages: No fillers
Disadvantages: Absolutely Nothing

...This is the album that introduced me to Marilyn Manson and i can still remember the feeling that it gave me when i first listened to it. I had heard nothing like it before, the driving force of the music and lyrics combined entranced me for an hour. From This Is The New *hit, a brilliant techno, thrash triumph that builds throughout the verses to a crashing empowering chorus to mOBSCENE, the lead single from the album with its disco thumping rock beats. Doll Dagga Buzz Buzz Ziggety Zag brings us a swing inspired 4 minute rock romp whilst the next track Use Your Fist And Not Your Mouth is an angry fist throwing in the air inducing stomp! The Golden Age of Grotesque takes it's place next in the tracklisting next with it's incredibly odd music style which includes a burning piano being played by manson himself. The controversial (s...

Advantages: It hosts some classic manson songs, it has some great playing
Disadvantages: A lot of fillers, seems a bit preoccupied in trying to achive the shock factor

.... The first main song on the album (not including the short opening track at the start which can’t really be classed as a song) is “This Is The New Shit”. This song is very strange, in the way that it seems to almost be a parody of himself. Not a very strong point to get going on, in my opinion. Although it is saved by the next song, the sublime “mObscene”. mObscene is the song that really got me interested in Marilyn Manson. It’s a classic rock song. That’s the thing about Manson, the music he plays isn’t really goth. It’s more hard rock for people with strong opinions or who want to seem like they do. This song has some very clever lyrics and is just brilliant. The Golden Age Of Grotesque, the track is the album is named after, is the 6th song on the CD. At first, I thought it was, well, rubbish. But when I really got into it, I realized... Read review

...The Lost Age I bought this game as soon as it came out, last year, after only just completing the magnificent GS1. This game is amazing, here's my review; Graphics: Stunning, this is the first GBA game whos graphics don't make me want to return the game after playing it for 2 minutes, the battle seens are nicely done. There are effects that are quite impressive for example, if you run, felix' coat flusters in the wind, if you stand behind a block of ice, you can see your distorted image on the screen, little things that make oyu proud of owning Golden Sun 2. Audio/Sound: The audio of battling can get on your nerves, but I'm not going to nag about that when everything is is beautiful. There's a different tune everywhere you go, the BGM in one town might be happy and cheerful, while in the other, sad and grey. Gameplay... Read review

...Golden Sun: The Lost Age (GBA) was a long awaited sequel to the smashing success that boosted standards for all handheld RPGs, Golden Sun.

Advantages: Good, long lasting game
Disadvantages: Too many random battles

...In my opinion, this is probably one of the greatest games so far for the Gameboy Advance system. Not only are the graphics and music great, but the game’s concept and storyline is something to truly admire. Such depth and quality to story, character development and interesting worlds is something that is not often seen in video games. Golden Sun: The Lost Age, is a sequel to the original Golden Sun game which was a brilliant game in its own rights, the slight problem with the first game in my opinion was that it was too short. The Lost Age remedies this, not only has it got much more play time than the original game, the world is a lot richer, more varied and a lot larger. The Story If you are new to Golden Sun, and have not played the first game, then there is no need to panic because this game is perfect for new... Read review
