Advantages: Excellent follow up to series 1
Disadvantages: none

...There were 7 episodes of series 2 of Soldier Soldier. Hong Kong is where the boys are sent to next. First screened in 1992. A lot of old faces return this series, and several new ones as well. To recap from my first summary to explain about the characters: Tucker and Garvey, Dave and Donna, Paddy and Nancy, Tony and Joy. These are the couples that grab you right from the first series and take you through the next five series. (Series 6 and 7 were never so good once Tucker and Garvey had left). It was an excellent series and very fresh and new when it first arrived. Written by Lucy Gannon. It brought together Robson and Jerome (who can failed to have missed their hit single Unchained Melody!). Dave Tucker played by Robson Greene, Donna Tucker played by Rosie Rowell Paddy Garvey played by Jerome Flynn Nancy... Read review

Advantages: nostalgia, excellent series
Disadvantages: none at all

...I love Soldier Solder, I have all 7 series on video and am now converting them to DVD as they come out. So far, series 1, 2 and 3 have been released, with Series 4 being released in June 2005. (See my other reviews for Series 2 and 3). Tucker and Garvey, Dave and Donna, Paddy and Nancy, Tony and Joy. These are the couples that grabe you right from the first episode and take you through the next five series. (Series 6 and 7 were never so good once Tucker and Garvey had left). It was an excellent series and very fresh and new when it first arrived. Written by Lucy Gannon. It brought together Robson and Jerome (who can failed to have missed their hit single Unchained Melody!). The series starts out with the men returning from Northern Ireland, desperate to see their women. Dave Tucker is married to the "lovely... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, 16 fairly large levels, fair two-player mode, undemanding blasting
Disadvantages: Too simple, repetitive, looks naff, annoying on-rails camera, no aiming-system, horrendous slow-down, streets behind the competition

...Play Magazine awarded it a whopping 10%, whilst The Official UK PlayStation Magazine was only slightly more generous with its 2/10 scoreline. So is Omega Solider really as bad as they say? The Army Men series built itself something of an infamous reputation in the latter days of the PSOne for its seemingly-relentless assault on the format. 3DO, its publisher, took it upon themselves to churn out a ridiculous number not-so-well-received shoot ‘em ups in a very short duratinon of time – this being one of them. First released in 2001 as budget title, Army Men: Omega Soldier (AM:OS) is a third-person shoot ‘em up featuring the popular green plastic soldier toys, which entails running northwards through a variety of war-inspired locations (beaches, forests, army bases, mountain passes) blasting all that stands before you. It’s certainly... Read review

Advantages: Action Packed, Funny, Exciting and Tense
Disadvantages: Werewolf's weren't 100%, but nothing really.

...I’m sure many of you will have different opinions; nevertheless I have to say before Dog Soldiers, I had never seen a werewolf movie I really enjoyed: ‘Ginger Snaps’ didn’t do it for me, I thought ‘Brotherhood of the Wolf’ wasn’t great and I noticed the age in ‘An American Werewolf in London/Paris’. I first saw Dog Soldiers round a friends mid Last year, the very next week I brought it for myself on DVD. It is simply brilliant, best described as addictive and it is one of those films you can watch over and over again, still getting the same amount of excitement you received from the first time you watched it! Dog Soldiers is classed as an action-horror, but I believe a wide – ranged audience can enjoy it. It is a fun film, filled with dark comedy, classy worth –... Read review

Advantages: Realistic, Good graphics addictive!
Disadvantages: Multiplayer mode is the epiphany of anoyence

...When I played Soldier of fortune 1 a while back (around 2 years ago), I was impressed with the graphics and game play it had to offer, Of course, 2 years later the standards for computer gaming have and will continue to rise; so now that I look back on Soldier of fortune 1 I am hardly far from descusted, maybe I was naive to think that this is as good as it gets. Anyway, with the arrival of Soldier Of Fortune Double Helix, my entier negative opinion and doubt of "Raven Games" has been washed clean and replaced with the knowledge that Raven Games can really produce some stunning work! Soldier of fortune 2 boasts some really high quality graphics, exiting and exilerating game play with realistic sound affects, while at the same time providing you with an interesting storyline to keep you motivated and stuck at your computer screen...

Advantages: A detailed personal account, extremely readable.
Disadvantages: Minor vagueness in parts, Very graphic in its bloody nature.

...I tend to avoid military biographies and doubly so if they cannot be corroborated for authenticity. "The Forgotten Soldier" is one of these books. First published in 1967 in France and then translated into English in 1971. "The Forgotten Soldier" has been heralded as a unique insight into a German soldier's experiences and horror of serving in the German army on the Russian front. Guy Sajer is a 16 year-old half French half German youth living in Alsace at the outbreak of war. He was recruited into the German army in 1942; he joined up due to his admiration for the German army who had marched into France in 1940. Having never lived in Germany and only having a basic grasp of the German language didn't deter him from his ambition. After initially failing to become a Stuka dive bomber he was shunted into the army and ended up... Read review

Advantages: Gameplay
Disadvantages: Sexist

...Soldier of Fortune has to be one of the bloodiest, goriest games ever by anyone’s standards, but it’s great! When I bought this game, I thought that it would be a little better than your run of the mill first person shooter. No wonder it’s hard to find a copy in the game shops! For those of you who haven’t played Soldier of Fortune, run out and buy it now. The weapons are mostly realistic with a few made-up guns thrown in for your total enjoyment. Burning people with a flame-thrower and watching them squirm and scream has got to make you laugh in this game, because it looks so funny. Seriously though, if you use a .44 magnum and shoot someone in the head, it will virtually take his or her head off! The enemy reacts to the bullets as you pump them full of lead, they wobble like a bowl of wobbly jelly... Read review

Advantages: True events, real people, was history.
Disadvantages: It takes too long to learn

...It is a true story of the events that took place over three days beginning November 14th 1965 at la Drang Valley Vietnam, when 400 US marines of the 7th Cavalry were air lifted into hostile territory and faced 2000 North Vietnamese Army (NVA) Regulars. They were surrounded, cut off, heavily outnumbered and fighting to survive. The originally story “We were soldiers once...and young” was written by the commander (Lt Col H. Moore) and the reporter (Joe Galloway). Which begins by laying the history with the 1954 massacre of the French Mobile 100 in the same valley and numerous references to Custer and “Les Guerres en Indochine”. It is not long before the film dumps you in the thick of it spreading 12000 miles from the events in Vietnam to the families at Fort Benning Georgia. The interwoven story lines blend seamlessly with aspects... Read review
