Advantages: You hear what your meant to and nothing else
Disadvantages: Could be doggy if using whilst jogging/cyclng etc.

...Well what's the point of reviewing earphones? Answer - no matter how good your DVD/MP3/radio/MPEG4 etc if you are mobile the earphones are the most important part. Without a good pair you can have the best unit but it will ultimately be let down by poor earphones. So I have bought several different types in my time and up till now have always been disappointed. This may tell you something about the review to follow. :-) ........................................................................................................................ SUMMARY The Griffin Earthumps are excellent, by far the most superior earphones I have owned. Comfortable Good sound reproduction Cuts out ambient noise to great effect Value for Money 35" (89cm) from jack plug to split point. 14" (35cm) from split to earbud Flexible 3 rubber buds...

Advantages: looks great
Disadvantages: incy bit painful

...(wiping with tea tree oil, salt water etc). Wait 2-4 months to stretch again to avoid damaging the tissue. Will my ears always be stretched? The vague point of 'no return' is around 2 gauge (6mm) : becoming less likely to return to the size of a standard earring. This ultimately depends on the elasticity of your skin. The stretching will definitely shrink, but how much differs from person to person. If you gradually stretched its more likely that they will return to a normal size as scar tissue hasn't built up. Aftercare As already mentioned, salt water and tea tree oil are the best for helping them to heal. Dissolve around ½ a teaspoon of salt into 500ml of warm water - about shower temperature. For healing stretching it's advised to wear glass, titanium or surgical steel jewellery only to prevent infection. When it's healed... Read review

Disadvantages: keeps you awake when you wanna sleep

...are that it is a mild stimulant, it increase your heart rate and blood pressure. You should have a general feeling of being “perked up” and that you should be more able to sustain brain work. Higher doses of caffeine can cause side effects such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, restlessness, insomnia, tense muscles, panic attacks, ringing in the ears, diarrhoea, convulsions and even seeing light flashes. Warnings that pro plus gives are simply if your tiredness continues then you should consult your GP, and also ambiguously to tell your doctor or pharmacist if you experience and “unusual” effects after ingesting pro plus! Although you should be warned that there have been cases of overdose (in massive amount i.e. above 300) hallucinations, Caffeine is also a mild diuretic (water tablet) therefore it is advised to drink a glass of water...

Advantages: It's Pro Evolution Soccer, in handheld format for crying out loud...
Disadvantages: Some long loading times and a lack of a Master League likely to put some fans off...

...that the actual football section of the game works admirably. But for many, the lack of creating your own team from scratch, training players into world beaters and looking for the best youngsters to bring into your club may put them off the purchase completely. Ultimately Pro Evolution Soccer on the PSP can't escape that same feeling that pervades many of its format stable-mates - that it's slightly over-ambitious. The PSP is a powerful piece of machinery but it's not yet ready for PS2 games to be merely copied and pasted into the format. For some its technical short-comings and the lack of a serious single-player challenge will prove a recurring irritant. With that in mind, though, we should be thankful for the necessary tweaks to fit the PSP and the great deal of effort Konami's coders have done to even get the game released on the system...

Advantages: Greatest football game ever
Disadvantages: Commentry, lack of licences

...Each year, konami have released another pro evolution soccer game, which is better than all the other football games, and there is no way this game can be improved, but konami have a knack, of creating the best football games ever, and improving on them the next year. Until almost a year ago, when pro evolution soccer 3 came out, I was a huge supporter of the fifa series, now a year on, I have realised that the pro evolution soccer games are the ultimate, most realistic, in depth football games there are. The latest pro evolution soccer game there is pro evolution soccer 4, and guess what, this is THE BEST FOOTBALL GAME THERE IS! (Surprise surprise). Everything is just so much better than pro evolution soccer 3, (although it may seem impossible to some). The game is just so much smoother and so much more realistic than pro evolution...

Advantages: Disc 2 is full of great tracks
Disadvantages: Disc 1 sounds dated

...I have a strange fondness for Kylie Minogue. It stems from the fact that I have grown up with Kylie. When I was at school, developing my individuality and music taste (or lack of it), Kylie was there. As I ventured into gay bars and clubs for the first time, the soundtrack was Kylie. As I left home and started to enjoy my independence, Kylie seemed to grow up with me. She's still going strong, proving critics wrong and somehow she has reinvented herself as a credible and much-loved icon. You only have to look at the outpouring of care in the popular press when, earlier this year, she announced that she was battling breast cancer. It would seem that everybody loves Kylie. Ultimate Kylie is truly an ultimate greatest hits collection. Kylie's musical career is now heading for its twentieth year and she has come a long way in that time... Read review

Advantages: Excellent game play and works well on X box live
Disadvantages: Poor tutorial

...For the ultimate football simulation, the majority of gamers have always chosen the Pro Evolution series due to it's superb graphics, endless playability and the truly unmatched gameplay. You would probably say that it isn't possible to improve it further, but, somehow, Konami have done it with Pro Evolution Soccer 4. "Pro Evo 4" as the game is often referred to as, is a truly breathtaking translation of the real world of football. The graphics, to begin with, are truly stunning. The players really do look like their real-life counterparts, and the stadiums are truly fantastic - also looking like the real life venues. The movement of the players is spot on, and you can almost feel the net bulge as you score another stunner, it is that realistic. The commentary on the game has been improved since the last edition of the series... Read review

Advantages: Does pretty much everything a good SLR should do, but cheaper
Disadvantages: You can't change the lenses. Plus other little things. Read on...

...expensive. No doubt, increased demand for these as digital SLRs become more widely used will reduce prices over time. At present, though, if you want anything wider than 28mm equivalent, expect to pay a minimum of around £400 for the lens alone. Therefore, as an SLR user who’s not (currently) making money out of my photography, it was simply not going to be justifiable on price grounds to replace my 35mm SLR with a digital equivalent. I looked at several cameras in the same class as the Powershot Pro 1. Ultimately, though, the Pro won (no pun intended!). And I'm very glad about it. Having used it for four months now, I'm delighted with the image quality, the build quality, the features and the ease of use. IMAGE QUALITY: It's outstanding. Colours are very impressive. Having bought the camera in September, I've only just got... Read review

Advantages: Gameplay crushes any other football game!
Disadvantages: licenses still not included!

...in its genre. It still lacks real life league formats and a lot of team names and kits, but this game has everything else you could want. Plus, if you are a pro evolution geek like myself...you will know there is a way you can patch the game so its all up to date with correct teams, players, kits, etc. So for me...I can play the gameplay of pro evo with the stats and details of Fifa. Ultimate football gaming experience!!!!!... Read review

Advantages: The best Football game. Period.
Disadvantages: not the best graphics ever.

...version did start tweaking and changing the game engine and suddenly ISS 98 was a success. When ISS: Evolution hit the shops it went down storm and most agreed that it was the best footie game on any system. The next one along was ISS Pro Evolution Soccer and this truly did confirm the game’s status as the best on any system. When the PS2 came out, Konami decided for some unknown reason to bring out an ISS game coded by the original N64 team and this atrocity soil the good name. It was glitchy with some of the worst slow down I’ve seen in any game, no fluidity and ultimately more frustrating than fun. But low and behold they realised their mistake in the nick of time and made plans to bring out a game base on the evolution soccer engine we all know and love. When it hits the shelves over here, I have been informed... Read review
