Advantages: Brilliant concept & graphics, good gameplay
Disadvantages: Many pointless and inexcusable problems

...a battlefield where you can see your individual soldiers and command them on the battlefield. The potential for depth is enormous, and this is in fact (I believe) the best game concept ever invented, which is why I'm surprised that the Total War games are so unique. Some however might find its complexity overwhelming - it's certainly not a game for younger players or people with short attention spans: if you want a game to be able to zone out while playing, try a shooter or something. (short abbreviation guide: M2TW: Medieval 2: Total War RTW: Rome: Total War, the 3rd Total War game and most like M2TW in graphics and gameplay. MTW: Medieval Total War, the 2nd Total War game and set in the same time period as M2TW Graphically, M2TW in incredible, at least in the Battle Mode - the Campaign mode will look very familiar indeed to players...

...The Epson EMP-TW10H is brilliant! When I went to look for projectors in several shops I realised my fears that I wasn’t going to be bale to get a decent one for under a grand that would be good for a home cinema. Obviously, like most, I don’t just have this kind of money just floating around for me to use and I would have to think very seriously about such a purchase. Then I saw the Epson EMP-TW10H and was surprised at how cheap even for any projector it was. It was retailing in PC world for £300. So I thought there is no harm in asking about it. The assistant informed me that unfortunately it wouldn’t be able to handle moving images and that it would be no use for a home cinema, but I persisted and asked to see it in action. The shop assistant brushed the dust of the old charm and started it up with a DVD and he himself was surprised... Read review

Advantages: good film
Disadvantages: bit confusing

...ENTRAPMENT 1999 This film was released back in 99 and often shows on movie channels but on bank holiday Easter Monday this was on BBC1 so I decided to check it out, my dad having already seen it warned me it was quite complicated and 'TwIsTeD' but I still watched it. Entrapment stars 'Catherine Zeta-Jones' and 'Sean Connery' as the main roles. The film has an interesting twist which is probably what makes it a little confusing to watch and understand clearly, but this is basically what makes the film what it is. Catherine Zeta Jones plays 'Virginia' a business woman who you can clearly see enjoys her role of work, maybe because she works by day and night, maybe because she is just good at it. Virginia works for one of the biggest insurance agents in America and she is tracking down one of the most successful art thieves of all... Read review

Advantages: Large 21" screen, can move screen from landscape to portrait
Disadvantages: None

...~~<>*<>~~ Samsung SyncMaster 215TW ~ ~<>*<>~~ Price :~ This is probably one of the best screens on the market at the moment, but at a price. This screen cost me £335, you would expect prices to come down as this screen has been out now for over a year and that's about how long i have had mine for. The cheapest i can find it now is £370 so the product must be selling or prices would be coming down now. Looks & Dimensions :~ The design of the 215TW is very simple but looks smart, the front casing is a brushed silver so will not show finger marks and the back is black. All controls are within easy reach on the front not like on some that are placed on the side so you have to get up to see what you are doing. It is a 21" widescreen you work that out by measuring diagonally from one corner of the screen to the other. But i like... Read review

Disadvantages: none that I've found

...I've been so devoid of inspiration lately that marmilady left three words in my guestbook which she hoped would inspire me to write something and those were succulent, opulent and miserable, so as a thank you to her I shall try and include these in my review. I've been extremely "miserable" lately as I couldn't think of a single thing that I could write about and have drunk gallons of tea to console myself. Then suddenly it occurred to me that my nice shiny new kettle was nothing short of "opulent" and I really ought to do a review on its merits. The kettle in question is the Siemens Porsche TW91100 kettle. It can be classed opulent for the price - it weighs in at a hefty £69.99 at Amazon . You may think I am raving mad to spend that amount on a kettle but I had accumulated a fair number of Amazon vouchers for doing... Read review

Advantages: Super fast kettle and looks great
Disadvantages: Price.

...to its cordless centrepoint connector, the stylish F.A. Porsche design kettle, model TW 91100, can be replaced in any position on its 360-degree base. A built-in safety feature ensures an automatic cut-off facility when the kettle is removed from its base. What’s more, the removable stainless steel limescale filter in this kettle’s spout provides excellent water quality." The only thing that slows the sales of this kettle down is the price tag of about £69. However i feel that it is well worth the price.... Read review

Advantages: small box of tricks, easy to use
Disadvantages: remote control is silly small but does the job.

...I bought my Epson TW10H from OYYY.co.uk about 2 years ago for £469. The website itself is superb, very comprehensive and the aftersales service is second to none. More importantly for me, they're based in Halifax which is quite local for me and it's very difficult to beat them on price! So the projector, what's it like? Well, I would consider this to be an entry level projector. I currently have mine hooked up to my sky+ box, desktop PC, Xbox 360 and Home Theatre DVD player. Connections are adequate although there is no HDMI port on this version. Having said that the picture quality is good. I don't have a screen to project onto, just a blank jasmine white wall and personally I don't think, if you have the wall space, you need to spend an extra £100+ on a special screen. It can be a little noisier than it's competitors so... Read review
