Advantages: everything you ever wanted to know about Superman
Disadvantages: Presenation could of been better

...of the information was repeated in the first bonus disk, but still, it did have some things missed from the first bonus disk so it did have some relevance, after all this is supposed to be the 'Ultimate Box Set', and anything missed out would surely rob it of its 'Ultimate' title. The most pleasing attribute to this bonus disk is that it shows nine Fleischer cartoons of Superman from the early days, which gives you a more understanding of how Superman has developed over the years , and just how many decades the Superman character has been entertaining audiences. I would conclude this disk by saying it is a complimentary attribute to the box set itself and give it a rating of 5 out of 10. Running time approximately 52 minutes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ Disk 5: Superman II - Theatrical Cut... Read review

Advantages: 100+ super heroes, good gameplay and graphics, lots of variety.
Disadvantages: some voice actors don't sound authentic, none others really

...Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a sort of team-based RPG type game where you put together your own super hero team of 4 super heroes, out of a selection of more than 100 Marvel super heroes, like the X-men Legends games, except the whole Marvel universe, not just the X-Men. Story - The basic story of this game is that Doctor Doom has put together a group of super villains called the Masters Of Evil. They attack Nick Fury's hellicarrier and Doom demands that he surrenders, or he shall destroy the hellicarrier. As expected Fury challenges Doom and calls for all "meta humans" to report, Thor teleports him, Spider-man, Wolverine and Captain America to the hellicarrier and they push back the attacking force. The rest of the game is basically your team and Nick Fury trying to stop the Masters of Evil, basic really. Classic super hero type... Read review

Advantages: Groovy, modern styling
Disadvantages: Would make the traditionalists cringe

...One of the criticisms that many people might have of super hero comic books is that they are extremely old-fashioned. Batman, Spiderman and the like have been around since the 1950s or 60s, without changing all that much, and the whole super hero concept is now rather dated. This has been attributed as being the key root cause of the dwindling sales, and the lack of interest from today’s children. Comic book publishers cottoned on to this fact quite some time ago. In the 1990s a whole new raft of comic books appeared, featuring plenty of nudity and violence, as it was believed that this is what the kids wanted. Some of these worked – but most of them failed, so for the writers it was back to the drawing board. In 2001, somebody in Marvel Comics had a rather good idea. Why not take established, well-loved characters... Read review

Advantages: Characters, Story Line and some good looking Cinematics
Disadvantages: Poor game play, terrible controls, only for Marvel fans

...####Gadzooks it's Marvel! I'd be astounded and a little disturbed if anyone in 2007 had never heard of Marvel. Marvel Comics founded way back in 1939 has been providing tales of Super heroism in a wide range of forms and format ever since. It isn't a surprise then that Marvel have tapped into the massive audience of Video Entertainment. There are as many Marvel games as there are Characters! Actually, that isn't true at all, as the list of Mavel Hero's is bordering on Ludicrous. There are however, a vast range of games featuring Marvel Characters that range from Action to Puzzle and anything in-between. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is the 3rd title from publisher Raven, following in the footsteps of X-Men Legends (2004) and X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse (2005), Ultimate Alliance is an Action Role Playing Game (RPG...

Advantages: If you are new to Irish Folk music then this is the one for you!
Disadvantages: If you already have some of Clannad's other work you may already have most of this compilation.

...slicker and more synthy, and they are now an institutionalized part of the Celtic-New Age scene. And, yes, Maire's little sister Eithne, aka Enya, did get her start in the family band, although she was only briefly a member at the beginning of the 1980s, before setting off to become a super-duper New Age superstar in her own right. Most current Clannad fans probably like them for all the reasons that I no longer do: the slick, heavily layered, glossy production, and the muzak-y tilt of their later work, as well as the gooey spirituality. Maire Brennan also has a significant solo career, which increasingly has become a platform for her Christian beliefs. The song list is on this "The Ultimate Collection" is however as follows:- CD.1. 1. Dulaman 2. Two Sisters 3. Siuil a Run 4. Down by the Sally Gardens 5. Níl Sé Ina Lá 6. An t... Read review

...with little warning. It’s like taking a leak in the snow – has to be tried once and only gets better each time, but may not be for everyone to re-experience. Especially if you get a yellow snowball chucked at you soon afterwards – bleuch! I'd say worth a rent over a buy, just to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. The back of the box makes out the features to be more special than they are. This loses points with me simply because it promises too much and does not deliver. Better to buy the video for the excellent movie and ignore the DVD. Not an essential purchase.

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: Fast! Big. Excellent Seats. Few £'s For This Performance. "Blinged" Styling of VXR.
Disadvantages: Likes to Drink (fuel!). A Bit of a Brute to Drive. Intimidating.

...A NOTE ON THE CATEGORY The eagle eyed amongst you, may have noticed that Ciao are listing the VXR as a 5.7 litre model. The first VXR's imported here did indeed have an up-rated version of the standard 5.7 litre engine, few of these were sold before Holden started shoe horning in the larger 6.0 litre engine, the few remaining new VXR's on sale are the 6.0 model as reviewed here. WHY A FULFILLED AMBITION? Before launching into the review proper, which will, for consistencies sake, follow my usual car review format, I wanted to offer a brief explanation of the title. Some of you may already know that for well over four years, my pride and joy had been a 1999 V6 Vauxhall Omega. Whilst I would never have claimed that car to be perfect, for me, it fitted like a glove. It had real character, was comfortable, and, thanks to its rear... Read review

Advantages: Sound Quality, DVD Player..
Disadvantages: Wires..

...-------------------- Sony DAVSC5: -------------------- Ok this sound system is one of the best I have seen the quality of the sound is excellent. I know this because my mate has got one he is always watching DVD now. It dose really sound like your at the cinema the sound echo’s around the room, the only problem is if you turn it up to nearly top volume the sub starts to vibrate. But still who has it at full volume it would pod your ear drums lol. You can also have different sound settings like video game, dolby prologic, small hall, big hall, full bass, and a fully customizable setting for your own creations. There is absolutely no distortion no matter how loud you turn this system up a bit of vibration if full volume as I said earlier in this review. It would defiantly be like a proper cinema then don’t you think? Another... Read review

...(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
