Advantages: Fun for all fans of the genre
Disadvantages: best with 4 or 5 players

...I have been into fantasy & Dungeons and Dragons since I can remember. Always read the books, watched the films and played the computer games of that genre. When I saw the board game "Hero Quest" in my local Toys'R'Us I was like a child with a new toy, rushing all the way home. I read the back of the box and it sounded like the type of game which both intrigued and entertained, but not for too long. Those who have played Dungeons and Dragons Role Playing Games are aware that a game can last for several weeks or even months, however, Hero Quest usually lasts approximately 2 - 3 hours. If you have ever played a computer version of Hero Quest (I had a copy for my Amiga years ago), the board game is very similar in that the four characters are the same, namely a Barbarian, an Elf, a Wizard and a Dwarf. Each of the characters take turns... Read review

Advantages: very comfortable,light,folds well
Disadvantages: none yet!

...I wanted to buy a second light weight buggy to keep in the boot of my car and to take on holiday.I wanted a buggy which was not only light but would recline ,be easy to fold and include a rain cover/sun shade.I also wanted a buggy with a large seat to enable my toddler to sleep in comfort. I spent some time looking on the internet(as you do)at the various models available and comparing prices.I have always liked Maclaren buggys and was interested in both the quest and the more expensive techno.The techno is a lot more expensive than the quest(about £50)and is suitable from birth as it reclines further than the quest,but as my baby is 18 months old this was a feature I didn't need.I did look at other makes such as the mothercare jive at £30,butI felt the seat unit was quite small with a low back.Before making a final decision I...

Advantages: Georgeous graphics, addictive gameplay.
Disadvantages: Roleplaying virtually non-existent. Quests difficult or impossible. The need to group.

...EverQuest, or NeverQuest as it is affectionately known to its players is the first online game I ever played. On entering the game for the first time I was awestruck by the realistic graphical detail and within an hour or so of playing, became totally addicted, and was to remain so for several months. At first the game was a joy. I started as a Paladin and slowly levelled up the ranks. Upon reaching level 15, however, I was soon to become demoralised by this game. As you level up, the area you are playing in ceases to become productive in terms of experience points and you are forced to move on. The problem with this is that when you die, you are forced to retieve your corpse and retrieve all your belongings. Failure to do so will result in losing EVERYTHING you have on your corpse at the time. The higher you progress, the further... Read review

Advantages: Supremely funny
Disadvantages: An extra 20 minutes wouldn't have gone a miss!

...When this movie was first released in 1999, I honestly thought to myself after seeing the trailer that it looked like a load of rubbish. Would it be yet another spoof movie, that although seemingly having a great cast, would amount to very little and be short on laughter. Strike one against Lizzii
