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

...causing havoc with oil tankers, and the Leaning tower of Pisa, until finally becoming a drunk and literally splitting into two different people, the 'bad' Superman and his alter ego Clark Kent who both have an ultimate showdown at a steel works. Superman must wear off the affects of the bad Kryptonite if he is ever to save the world from a new super computer that has a mind of its own, foil Webster's plans and re-kindle his relationship with Lana Lang. My thoughts on the movie: It seems now director Richard Lester has departed from the tone of the first two movies and placed more of an emphasis on comedy in this sequel. Right from the beginning there is a dire slapstick comedy sequence involving Christopher Reeve and Richard Pryor playing dumb and causing several daft mishaps towards the general public. The new villain played by Robert... Read review

...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

...the pain, or a previous stretching has been unsuccessful, try taking a long hot shower before hand. 1)Wipe ear with antiseptic wipe 2)Simply slide the taper straight through your ear, for a second it might be painful but bearable, pretty much the same as getting your ears pierced for the first time. 3)Once you get to the end of the taper, place your jewellery up against the end so it looks like an extension of the taper, and push the taper the rest of the way through with the jewellery. 4)Wipe ear with antiseptic wipe Your ear will feel like its burning for the next couple of hours or so and may appear slightly red, but that's normal. If your ears are extremely sore or bleeding it means you have stretched too quickly! To be safe, take out the jewellery and replace with the previous. Treat it the same as a new stretch...

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...

...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: 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: 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

...Super Mario Sunshine - does it really need an introduction? It's probably the most hyped game of the year. Unless you've been living under a large boulder, tree or melon with cement in your ears and pepper spray in your eyes you'll know about it and if you've got a GameCube, I'd bet my Grandma you want it. Who wouldn't? Are you really gonna say no to Super Mario 64 2? I think not! After a wonderful cel-shaded FMV sequence when you turn on Mario, you'll be greeted by the best option screen EVER! Nintendo do like to be a bit more creative when making games, but this is by far their best achievement on the GameCube. Instead of having a boring menu bar or a cursor, you get to control the man himself, yes, Mario! You can perform all the moves he can in the actual game while customizing your game at the same time! After not having any... Read review

...; this is actually based on a short story by sci-fi supremo Brian Aldiss. The experiment pays off and the creation named David is given to a couple whose son is being frozen until a cure can be found for his illness. They grow to love him, but the real boy recovers, and is not too pleased with his territory being usurped by this ‘super-toy’. As things deteriorate, the test family abandons David and his toy sidekick Teddy and David must fend for himself. Latching onto a sex-bot named Gigolo Joe (not literally, that would be wrong), he sets out across America to carry out his dream –becoming Britney Spears. I mean, a real boy. * * * * * When I first saw this at the cinema I was a little unsure about the ending – as were quite a few people. It is certainly open to confusion, but attention pays dividends and the more I see it now, the more interpretations... Read review
