Review of TomTom Map of the USA and Canada Maps

Generally Chaotic

Advantages: Multiplayer, nice animation, quirky
Disadvantages: Pales into obscurity versus todays technology

...I decided to write a review of this seeing as I've never met anyone else who has ever heard of this bar my own brother. we used to while away the time on this simplistic army game. The game is named after one of the storyline's main General's. The conflict in question is between the blue forces of 'General Chaos' and the red troops of 'General Havoc.' The game is a very cartoony offering from EA, released in 1994 on SEGA Mega Drive. It is a mulitplayer compatible game and two players can play either co-op or against each other, and if I'm not mistaken, it was also possible to play 4 player with use of the special multiplayer pads. I no longer own this game and as a result am reviewing this from hazy childhood memory. The two main game modes are firstly a kind of 'campaign mode' where players compete against the computer for specific...

Review of General Chaos (Mega Drive)

Snooz'n USA

Advantages: Spotting landmarks, controls do the job
Disadvantages: Poor collisions physics, cornering troubles, infinite continues

...The N64 limitations meant Midway were never going to come close to producing a perfect port of the arcade checkpoint racer, Cruis'n USA, but to rub asphalt into the wounds, the title would be censored by Nintendo (at the least animals were removed), whilst bloody fighting games Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Killer Instinct Gold avoided being butchered... Speaking of which, the frame rate gets rather choppy when driving through detailed surroundings, such as downtown San Francisco - this is also the section where the external views can be blocked, albeit partially and briefly, by cars behind. There are direction signs in Cruis'n USA but nothing to tell how tight an upcoming turn is - there is a radar for CPU presence, but no map present so you never know until too late, and traffic is sure to come blind as well. The analog stick works well...

Review of Cruis'n USA (N64)

Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA. The Boss at his best

Advantages: Fantastic album
Disadvantages: None

...I suppose Bruce Springsteen is the Marmite of the music world - you either love him or you hate him - or, like many youngsters who encountered him at Glastonbury this year, you have never heard of him (shame on you). For me, any music that evokes memories of my mid-80s school discos, is automatically beyond any criticism, and the title track from this album is no exception. Of course, one track doesn't make an album, but it can very often be the sole reason for purchasing it. I have often thought that Springsteen's lyrics were a little suspect, but very often these take second place to the power and emotion of the music and the mood he creates - and this album is Bruce at his raw, belting best. BORN IN THE USA - The massively powerful title track that seems to have become a patriotic anthem despite its anti...

Review of Born In The USA - Bruce Springsteen

An awesome journey through Hitsville USA

Advantages: Vocals, Music,
Disadvantages: None

...Following on from their first installment of motown hits in 2005 entitled Throwback. Boyz II Men have released Motown Hitsville USA, A collection of some more of their favourite classics from the legendary motown era. This album was produced with the help of Randy Jackson. The production is of the usual impecable standard people have come to expect from Boyz II Men. Here is my review of the album. 1. First up we have Just My Imagination (Running away with me) A gentle guitar and drum beat opens this song and then the smooth vocals come in, Nathan starts off the singing with his sweet falsetto and the version is well worth making. Their vocal delivery is perfect for songs of this kind. Recorded by The Temptations 2. It's the same old song shows the variety of both Motown and Boyz II Men. This is a classic high tempo track which...

Review of Motown Hitsville USA - Boyz II Men

GENERAL Turkish Wine

Advantages: Better than Greek wine
Disadvantages: Four times more expensive than similar french table wine.

...Having made a hash of slotting my two last reviews into the right category, I found this no easier. I just want to talk about wine in Turkey - in general - and if you are contemplating a holiday there for the first time - what you might expect to buy. Firstly I went to Bodrum on a sailing holiday in October 2006 and had a fantastic holiday, sailing out of Bodrum, which is absolutely gorgeous - a gem in fact, with such friendly people. I actually didn't want to go, having worked in Turkey near the Iraq border twice before.How wise I was not to refuse to go (which was on my mind) "Toursit" Turkey is like that however, but wine is not available in general off the beaten track. If you are travelling by car or by boat - stock up when you get the chance!! The Turks have been making wine like forever. It is not a new tourist gimmick...

Review of General: Turkey

THE GENERAL (1926 )

Advantages: Very funny / Visually stunning / Extremely authentic looking.
Disadvantages: None

...'The General ' is widely considered Buster Keatons finest film . The story is based on reminiscences of the Civil War, William Pittengers ' 'The Great Locomotive Chase' in which the author, a northern soldier, recalls a daring raid which he had taken part in. in 1862. The story obviously had great attraction to Keaton;of a band of soldiers disguised as southerners making there way from Tenessee into Atlanta to sieze a train while it's passengers were still at breakfast.The object being to run the train to Chattanooga where they would join forces with the union troops.along the way burning bridges and severing communications en-route,but despite delays, were overtaken , upon almost reaching there destination, by another borrowed locomotive which forced them to give up there prize.The men being apprehended and some, later, being...

Review of The General (Silent) (DVD)

Lets tear it apart General.

Advantages: Excellent graphics.
Disadvantages: Too short. In game stories are longer than actual game play.

.... Differences are already apparent here. There is now the option to play a training game to teach you the C+C basics and you only have the choice to use 3 countries but previously there was a great list of countries you could pick for your army or to battle against. The only countries available to use are the USA, China and the GLA. The GLA is the Global Liberation Army and is a loose federation of freedom fighters and terrorists. They have established strongholds in the republics of central Asia. I have heard many people say they will not play the game as there is too much action going off and it is too difficult keeping on top of the game, sending units off to battle, building new units and constructing new buildings all in one go. Do not let this put you off. Play the game your self and see. All of the C+C series, including Generals is simply...

Review of Command & Conquer: Generals (PC)

Harlow in general.... Jeremy Kyle-esque?

Advantages: Lots of shops, some good bars & lots of nice takeaways here.
Disadvantages: Some of the people are just atrocious.

...I have lived in Harlow on and off for around 7 years now and have seen quite a few changes over time. Harlow has a few main areas such as The Stow, Staple Tye, Potter Street, Old Harlow & the main town centre. Each place has it's own shops, pubs etc and generally if you ask someone in Harlow where they come from it'll be "The Stow" or "near Potter St" rather than "blah blah street". There are two main shopping areas in the Town Centre and these are the Harvey Centre & The Water Gardens both within two or three minutes walk of each other and hosting a variety of bars, cafes, restaurants etc and some of the big stores such as Primark, Next, M&S, Top Shop, Jane Norman, JD Sports, Burtons, etc and there are also Supermarkets in the form of Tesco & Asda. There are lots of stores to visit here and you can probably find pretty much...

General Double Glazing Information

Advantages: Clean
Disadvantages: Shows Dirt

...I work for a UPVC manufacturing firm, and just thought I would give any potential buyer some general tips to look out for when thinking of buying any UPVC windows and doors. When a sales representative comes to your house, he should have a sample window frame with him, I would recommend you ask to have alook at this before you buy it, so you no exactly what you are getting, once the windows have been fitted there is no turning back. A few points:- Make sure the window is sturdy and ask what is in the middle on the frame, (the part you can't see) you would be expecting on a standard window for this to be either steel or some sort of metal internally. Some companies only put plastic in the middle. They you need to one the sample window to see what the opening mechanism is like, e,g it is study and easy to open or is it stiff...
