Advantages: Most of Michael's Songs From His Career, Bonus DVD and Booklet
Disadvantages: None - Maybe One or Two Songs Are Missing

...I love Michael Jackson! I know everyone has their opinion of him. Most people I have spoken to have said they love him, can't make their mind up, or hate him. I think he is a brilliant singer, songwriter, dancer and producer. He's one of the most talented people in the world today. (I usually write a lot about each song in my Album reviews, but I wont write about each song in this case, as it will go on forever and ever as there is nearly 60 songs! I will write about the Demo's and Unreleased singles only) Anyway, on with the CD's. ●WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION● This Ultimate Collection is a 4 CD set of all Michaels singles, with bonus demos and previously unreleased singles. There is also a DVD with the collection, which is a completely unreleased DVD of Michael Jackson's Dangerous Tour live DVD... Read review

Advantages: OSX is slick, Gorgeous looks, Great Bundled Apps!
Disadvantages: Extremely Expensive, Gets Very Hot!

...resolution is 1440 x 960 which is superb! But do you see the pattern? Everything that's great about the PowerBook is peripheral and accessory based! The guts of the machine are old hat. I doubt even the new MacBook Pro is as great as Apple claim it is. They've always been "optimistic" about their benchmark tests (remember the G5 and that court case?). Ultimately, I'm shocked at the profit Apple made from me. I doubt the machine cost more than a few hundred pounds to manufacture, yet it was priced like a top-performing product and was made with out-of-date technology. Very little was available to identlfy the processor's performance against other similar Intel and AMD based systems and I feel let down by Apple. The machine is barely used for small admin tasks which are suited to its capabilities these days. I doubt I will be purchasing Apple... Read review

Advantages: Some stunning track designs, top techno tunes, sense of speed
Disadvantages: Frame-rate issues, too fast? sole player modes could be better realised

...driving towards a burning sun which makes for quite a sight! The G-Bikes are cool in their design, with use of shiny tin-foil effects. Since they are futuristic motorcycles, check out the first-person view swaying side-to-side, at speed! Complementing the visuals is the techno music, which is great. In Extreme Contest (racing in a field of eight), the ultimate Meltdown tournament - where there is the chance to compete across all tracks - seems a let down. Regardless of the difficulty setting, the bar is set high to qualify for the next race - so high that, the only outcome at the end of the tournament (should they progress that far) would be the player topping the table. Of the other modes, there are single race and time trial, as well as 'Shoot Em Up' - destroying drone targets for a race duration - which is decent. By means I was able... Read review

Advantages: Great Graphics card, Good for both work and play, Nice design

...Vista” with full Aero support for the ultimate vista experience. And with the built in webcam you can have video conversations/conferences without the need for external hardware. And it also has wireless WIFI technology built into the machine so there is no need to carry around a USB WIFI adapter or any other external hardware for wireless networking. The case of the laptop is very sturdy and is made from a rigid magnesium alloy chassis for maximum protection; this should help keep the laptop safe from most minor damage. As well as been well protective the case is also sleek and sexy, it is a black glossy colour.

Advantages: Graphics, Sound, Storage, Display COOL VALUE
Disadvantages: Battery life, cost

...WOW, I have just been given one of these babies to play with - through work. THEY ARE AMAZING I'm not going to spend time introducing you to MAC OS (Apple's Windows) - but if you are a PC user it's like this: Its quite similar to windows but more user friendly & powerful! (Get the picture) If you have money to burn then this is the ultimate choice. Its just great for online/offline gaming, it is capable of doing amazing things with sound and graphics. Movie editing, music mixing - this can do it all. Its a weapon of mass perfection! Your better off with an i-book if its just wordporcessing and surfing you are after.

Advantages: Plenty of R&G
Disadvantages: Not quite a Masterpiece

...When Snoop Dogg came out with the enjoyable summer jam "Beautiful" a couple years ago, many of his fans thought he was selling himself out to make some money. In actuality, he was realising that he was getting old. He couldn't be the gangsta who threatened undercover cops in his younger years nor could he continue in the same mindset without seeming generic. While he still continues dabbling in the gangsta lifestyle, his image has mostly changed into the smooth-as-whipped-cream, constantly-preening pimp. Instead of hanging out with degenerate-looking gangstas, he now hangs with the impeccably-dressed-yet-disturbingly-flashy Don "Magic" Juan. His newest album R&G(Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece continues to mark this change from a sly gangsta rapper to a smoothed-out rhyme-spitter - while also trying to prove that the Doggfather...

Advantages: G
Disadvantages: G

...in God or not, surely the demise of someone to call on in your hour of need is detrimental? How many of us can claim we attend church regularly? Not many I am sure, with church numbers decreasing rapidly, and some churches shutting because of lack of support is-this-the-end? GREAT Britain Some of you would never admit to being proud to be British, but I am! In a country where I am at liberty to do many things: Dress how we want: Come and go when and where we want: Speak our minds to who we want (within reason and non libellous of course): However this freedom has some drawbacks also. Namely (and the most worrying): the ability to sue for anything. Example: Mrs A visits friend Ms B for dinner. Mrs A sits on a chair, which ultimately breaks and Ms A ends up on the floor. Ms B apologises profusely, but what does Mrs A do? A... Read review

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

...Is it a bird? Is it A Plane? .no it's the Superman ultimate Collection! Now call me a 'big kid' if you like, but I have remained a fan of the Superman stories ever since I could crawl. As a child I have watched all the Superman cartoons, brought all the comics and action figures, and owned all the movies and cartoons on tape. Even from my early teens to the present date I still enjoy the Superman series that are shown on TV:- The New Adventures Of Superman with Dean Kane, and the Smallville series. Ultimately it were always the Superman movies I had always enjoyed the most with Christopher Reeve bringing the character to life on our big screens. There were four movies in total, but after the dire disappointment of Superman IV: Quest For Peace, the Superman franchise faded fast, and the news of Superman's main star... Read review

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

...and bring them bang up to date? Who cares if you have to re-write history – take 20th century people, mix them up with 21st century values and see what happens. And so, The Ultimate Spiderman was born. The result was explosive, exciting – and financially very lucrative. The title now sits at the top of the sale leagues, has spawned a growing family of Ultimate titles and could well outlive its older counterparts. THE COMIC The Ultimate Spiderman differs from the core Marvel titles in that it is printed in a premium format. The cover is made from a sleek, ultra-shiny card, and all the pages inside are made from glossy paper. This is something of a rarity in modern comic books, where pages are normally furnished from standard printing paper. What makes this even more surprising is that the cover price is the same...
