Mind games.

Advantages: Well I don't know
Disadvantages: Yawn

...My heart felt thanks go to Kate and Pat for being the instigators for this particular challenge. Why me, what did I do? Challenges such as this are not however my strong point but I will let you all be the judge of that. So come on then, find me out so that I can pass the challenge on. I am as free as a bird but not from the sky. I walk not the land but travel the seas. I traverse the rivers and cross the fields. My limbs are none but still I move on. How tasteless when I?ve passed on. For then I?m jellied and I am gone. There are no prizes for guessing correctly and no apologies given if the dreaded red line appears stating that rating is only possible after the whole opinion has been read. Thanks for playing. Baz...

Review of Everything that starts with M ...

Unleash The Adventurer In You.

Advantages: Vibrant and Warm, Brings out the inner adventurer!
Disadvantages: Expensive in smaller bottles, go large.

...Very Manly, although that makes me sound not so manly, this is the best way to describe this aftershave. The adverts for it actually have Ewan McGregor as the frontman for it, they use the adventurer like qualities he has drawn from the different events he has done around the world such as the motorbike traverses called long way round and long way down. This was one of the first things that lead me to trying it, having seen the adverts it gives you that feeling like it could provide that rugged indiana jones feel just by putting it on. If you too feel like this is something you want to experience then I think it might help, even if it is just in your mind. The fragrance is very back to basics like being out in the elements, there are no boring mixed smells, it is all vibrant and in your face whilst at the same time has that warm...

Review of Davidoff Adventure

Clickerty Click, Clickerty Clack

Advantages: Fantastically paced tale
Disadvantages: None!

...it traverses the sleepers. The pace starts off slow then gathers in intensity before reaching a train whistle climax (but not in the way you'd imagine). Despite the possible pace of the book the text remains remarkably flexible and allows you to read at a pace to accommodate your child. If you need space to talk about the pictures or discuss the meaning of the words then it can be found without disrupting the story. Children's books that are repetitive allow the child to join in and to practice their recall. This book employs those tactics well and in a way that won't annoy the adult reader. This really is a fun, interactive book that's a pleasure to read over and over again! The illustrations remind me a little of Ivor the Engine. They are cartoon-like but not in the traditional toddler style. There's an intricacy to...

Review of And the Train Goes... - William Bee

Great Imaging

Advantages: Clarity of Images, Good lens , Great shutter speed
Disadvantages: Heavy , Buttons are not well arranged, average battery

.... With the combination of the new sensor and image processor it offers a good noise reduction and great performance. The menu system is stylish and easy to navigate. High performance vertical traverse shutter. But the button placement is a bit cumbersome. When the USB interface is set to PTP mode it supports direct printing without a computer to Pictbridge compatible photo printers. It focuses faster at all image levels with minimal delays. The auto focusing system uses AF sensors two each horizontal and vertical line sensors. The Image stabilization has been improved a lot and seem to offer three stops of stabilization. The defects i found was Its massive brick like and complex its much heavier and larger. All in all I'm very impressed by it....

Review of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (Xbox 360)

all things that are right in a trike

Advantages: strong unpretentious, goodlooking, screamer of a bike
Disadvantages: it nearly comes alive with technology

...junctiour and only then do we see the true growling this wonderful machine has to offer. at the age of 42 I tried the bike, ok it was a tight squeeze and the pedals seems awfully high but I managed a turn around the garden, panting as I got out I was replaced by the expert 1 year old, not only did he look good in this god given contraption, I thought I could hear him whisper his delight, ''Let's show the big man what we can do' and so it was. we sweeped around the garden, we chewed up the gravel we swept around the garage and only stopped because he had a poo and needed changing.. fresh nappy and a bucket of milk bottle placed in the very spacious and secure bucket we hit the pavement and headed to the pub, traversing the kerb stones was easy work, the suspension seemed eager to please, reversing came as easy to the trike as forward...

Review of Mookie Smart Trike Plus (New Version)

It's a new me

Advantages: It's Mario, it looks lovely, sounds brilliant, plays well
Disadvantages: A little easy, a little short, a little lacking in possible DS features

...the games all seem a bit limited and you'll be bored of them with in the first 10 minutes or so. The main game though (the single player) will almost certainly be the reason you bought it, or in fact the reason any one buys a Mario platformer is to play the main game. So those familiar with the series will know what to expect, and for those not familiar, you control a character wearing red dungarees, a red hat and a rather over sized moustache, you go through worlds (often left to right) until you reach the flag pole at the end of the level. It's not just as easy as walking in the same routes over and over though, of course theirs a wide ranging amount of enemies, there's traps and platforms to traverse with out being killed and collecting coins on your journey through the levels. To those who have played 2D platform games before it's all...

Review of New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo DS)

The Descendant Of Erdrick Shalt Defeat The Dragonlord

Advantages: Decent tunes, the exploration and dungeon crawling to be had
Disadvantages: Graphically average, can be a bit of a grind

...The movement of the hero feels heavy and the interface can be slow - having to go into command window to traverse stairs, search about, talk and take from treasure chests. Only by speaking to King Lorik can you save the progress. He also tells you how much experience is required to reach the next level. An improvement graphically from the Japanese version as the hero sprite can now face in the four directions, but animation is minimal where enemies in battles appear as stills. Dungeon designs are repetitive but I like the sprite where the hero carries the princess. The dialogue may be in ye Olde English but I would only become stuck for progress because I should have believed what someone had to say! Despite there being not many dungeons and some being short, the dungeons are daunting because of the limited area of view and menacing...

Review of Dragon Warrior (NES)

Old haunts in a new way.

Advantages: Allows fans to reunite with Lara, in old territory.
Disadvantages: New controls mean time to adjust, can make playing earlier TR tricky and frustrating.

...; column traversal - again Lara can jump from column to column to access unreachable areas; perching - lara has mastered the perch, a balancing act enabing her to navigate pits and reach high areas. In combat lara has advanced her skills to include: Knockdown recovery, the ability to recover herself when a particulally nasty enemy takes a swipe at her; the tumble, Lara utilises her acrobatic training, flipping and tumbling when moving - useful for dodging enemies; Adrenaline dodges, the ability to execute a head shot when an enemy becomes enraged during combat; and the ability to shake free enemies who grab Lara. The revamped graphics make this Lara adventure so much more realistic, with smoother edges, fewer inconsistancies and layer bugs. Actions are much more fluid, for example the ability to pull objects in directions other than back...

Review of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary (PS2)

A Far Cry from the Original.

Advantages: Beautiful graphics and landscapes
Disadvantages: Monotonous gameplay.

...Far Cry 2. I bought this game for the Xbox 260 after having played the first installment of the game, Far Cry, on the PC and being very impressed. However, I feel this latest offering is somewhat of a disspointment. It cost me £29.99 from play.com in October 2008. The story of the game is you are out to kill "The Jackal" who is a serial arms dealer who you have had dealings with in the past. To get to him you must steadily build up contacts, unlock new parts of the map, and traverse across a literally endless landscape, which in itself is beautiful and partly makes up for the poor gameplay. The graphics in general with this game are extaordinary; the beautiful, lush, African landscapes seem to roll on forever, and change rapidly and blend into one another seemlessly. The buildings, people and vehicles are also beautifully made...
