Death on the Nile - Deathly Boring

Advantages: Used up a couple of hours on an otherwise dull Sunday
Disadvantages: Nothing challenging about it

...I've played a few of Agatha Christie's puzzle games, one of which involved Hercule Poirot and I really enjoyed them. This one however I found dreadfully poor and I'm not really sure what the creators were thinking of when they dreamt it up. Overview You take on the role of Poirot who must investigate a murder on board a cruise ship sailing up the Nile. Features * 14 suspects to interrogate * 12 investigation levels * 24 rooms with hidden clues * Mini games System Requirements * Windows 98 or above * 600MHz CPU * 128 RAM * 57MB Free Disk Space * Direct X 6 or above My Thoughts With all the other puzzle games I've played there's also been a bit of video play to go with them. That's probably not the right technical term, but I mean that Poirot for example would wander around looking for clues...

The Blue Nile's Zenith...

Advantages: It's real music
Disadvantages: None

...Background By the time the Blue Nile: - Paul Buchanan, Robert Bell and P.J. Moore had finished touring and promoting the previous album “Hats” they all felt burned out, Paul Buchanan remembers the early 90’s as a difficult time and so as to try and change things a bit the band decided to buy some equipment and travel to different cities rent a room and write some songs. This is what they did going to France, Italy, Holland and New York all the while writing and recording a few things. After the frantic time of the Hats album Paul said, “It felt very claustrophobic and we kept moving, in the process writing and throwing a lot of songs away we discarded most of the stuff we wrote till we finally got the 10 tracks that appear on “Peace at Last” by 1995. By the summer of 1996 the third...

Review of Peace At Last - Blue Nile (The)

Nile Cruise another perspective

Advantages: History and having a Thomson rep at all times
Disadvantages: too short

...I went on a Nile Cruise with Thomson. It was a five star boat part of the Presidential line called the Nile Commodore. In the brochure the details included all excusions which were packed into the 7 days, I thought oh yea dragged around from tomb to tomb but it was booked so off we went. We arrived to a wonderful friendly greeting. Thomson had a rep on board who came everywhere with us and was always around to help. Not a pretty young thing with fluttering eyelashes but a more mature young woman who was well respected by all the crew. The boat was fantastic wood panelling everywhere and whenever you say members of the crew they greeted you warmly. Our 2 cabin boys met us and introduced themselves and evry morning and night we went in to a spotless room with the beds made in the morning or turned down at night. 4 Egyptian...

The White Knight to the rescue on those wet summer days

Advantages: User friendly, light weight and good load capability
Disadvantages: C rated so not he most economical

...As most people in Britain own a washing machine, many, like me, probably struggle to get there washing dry, especially with the glorious sunshine and top quality weather that is constantly warming our cheery faces, (that was sarcasm by the way), so the invention of the clothes/tumble dryer was a god send. So when my old dryer suddenly decided to stop blowing hot air, whilst also gaining a sort of stutter, I decided to go on the hunt for another similar one, coming across a brand called White Knight. But, to add to my confusion, I discovered that there are several types of dryers, such as spin dryers, which simply spin the clothes inside so fast that they eventually dry. Then there?s the condenser dryer, which passes warm air through the clothes and turns the heated air into water vapour sending the vapour into a storage hold, thus...

Nile - Black Seeds of vengeance. Infinite Awesome

Advantages: Brutal, relentless, esoteric sound
Disadvantages: Not for those with a heart condition.

...This is about the time Nile took most of the metal world by storm and brought a new level of brutal to the table for people to worship. The strong Middle Eastern and Egyptian sound really adds a new level to the music and brings a sort of haunting tone to the overall sound. Blast beats and double kick insanity are to be found all over every single track, bar the interludes which are of a strong Ancient Egyptian styling that really adds to the feeling that you will get. Most of the songs conjure a feeling of war and chaos, which is always a perfect subject for Death Metal. ?Masturbating The War God? and ?The Black Flame? are two tracks that for me, really shine. They present all the style and skill that Nile have become renowned for over the years. This is a must have piece of hate on a CD, and as such, get it, or miss out....

Review of Black Seeds Of Vengeance - Nile

Nile - In the Beginning. From humble beginnings

Advantages: Nice selection of rarities, its Nile
Disadvantages: Not the greatest Production, but not the worst either.

...Nile are a band that pretty much define Brutal Death Metal, so you kinda know that anything they put out is going to be of the most extreme affair. This isn't much a best of, as most of the tracks that you may already have are in fact the original studio versions, so there is something new of sorts to listen to. Quite a few of the tracks sound notably different from the album version you may have heard. For fans of the band, this is a rather nice addition to your collection, a little look into the early days of the band. Ramses Bringer of War is still a track that creates such an epic tone that it deserves to be the national anthem of all wars. The sheer level of playing is still evident even this far back. All in all this is a nice touch to an already flawless release record and a must own for fans of the band....

Review of In The Beginning - Nile

~ THE WHITE DELIGHT ~

Advantages: Excellent tatse, Great quality wrapping, Nice smell
Disadvantages: none

...~ THE WHITE DELIGHT ~ After seeing this on this week?s product of the week last night I decided to give it a try. I don?t actually eat a lot of chocolate unlike most females and i prefer sweets, as most chocolate bars make me feel ill after. Saying this though i have always liked Kit Kat bars. I prefer white chocolate to normal and I love kit kats so thought I would enjoy one of these bars. White chocolate is defiantly my favourite kind, so after buying a bar from my local shop last night I was intrigued to see if it was any better than the original Kit Kat bar. I can say it was thanks to Ciao that I managed to try one even though I have seen them in the shops for a while. The bar itself is also very eye catching so I think I would have got one at some point. They were set in a large white box right by the till so i would be...

Review of Nestlé Kit Kat White Chocolate

There is indeed Death on the Nile!

Advantages: Wonderful cast, great to look at
Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

...BACKGROUND Agatha Christie is the most popular crime writer in history, her books selling more than two billion copies worldwide- she is undoubtedly the 'queen of crime.' It has been estimated that she has been outsold only by the Bible and William Shakespeare. Written in 1937, 'Death on the Nile' is as popular today as it has ever been. Set in Egypt primarily, Christie took much of her African inspiration from her interest in archaeology, as she travelled with her husband, the eminent archaeologist Max Mallowan on many field trips. It is this actual knowledge of the Egyptian area that makes the book so readable, and easy to translate onto the big screen. I was always a fan of Agatha Christie novels, having read 'Death on the Nile' when I was around eleven. I was immediately interested when I saw a copy of the 1978 classic...

Review of Agatha Christie's Death On The Nile (DVD)

White Hot

Advantages: Some wonderful writing
Disadvantages: A few too many coincidences for my taste

...Crime thrillers aren't usually a genre known for their excellent writing, unless I'm reading the wrong books. Whilst there are some exciting writers working within it, they're not generally the kind of books you'd pick up for the quality of their writing, more for the quality of the story. That alone makes Jim Kelly's "Death Wore White" something of a surprise and something well worth picking up, as he manages both. One wintry evening on the Norfolk coast, DI Shaw and DS Valentine are investigating a report of a toxic container which is about to wash ashore. At the beach, they find something more than they expected when a dead man floats ashore in an inflatable raft. Worse is to come when they investigate a queue of traffic stuck behind a fallen pine tree to find a murder victim in the driver's seat of the first car. There are very few...
