Would Hardly Call it a Video 'COLLECTION'!

Advantages: Good Videos of some of Savage Gardens best songs
Disadvantages: Only 5 music videos, No extras (no interviews)

...***ABOUT SAVAGE GARDEN*** For those of you who don't know, Savage Garden was a successful Australian band. The two main members of the band Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones started working together in 1993. In 1995 they began work on their debut album. Their debut album was released in 1997 in Australia and reached number one on the 'Aria' chart. 'Truly Madly Deeply' is perhaps their most well-known song in the UK, where sales went platinum. After much success and world tours, Darren and Daniel decided not to carry on with Savage Garden. Darren Hayes has since released two solo albums and is due to release a third this year (Darren is also due to tour this year). ***THE VIDEO COLLECTION DVD*** This DVD contains the music videos of five songs (all of which appear on Savage Gardens debut album). The following videos are...

Review of Savage Garden - The Video Collection (DVD)

Answering the Call (of duty, not nature)

Advantages: Some truly epic moments
Disadvantages: Shooting gallery mechanics occasionally grate

...There's a moment in Modern Warfare where I realised Infinity Ward had utterly nailed the metamorphosis of Call of Duty. Playing as a U.S. Marine and staggering from the flaming ruins of a downed chopper, I fell and breathed my last toxic breaths surveying a scene of desolate post-nuclear destruction. This interlude was entirely for dramatic effect, you see, and on its own would have been a pretty awesome moment for any FPS. Yet it was something else which made this a uniquely refreshing inclusion for a game in the genre: the Americans were partly to blame. Freed from the shackles of historical accuracy and the respectful obligation to glorify Allied war heroes of yesteryear, Call of Duty expertly exploits its modern-day licence to portray war the way it should be: ugly, visceral, and at times morally ambiguous. Playing the split role...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

Call of Duty 40

Advantages: Same Brilliant game
Disadvantages: Same Brilliant game

...Regardless of how good the game is, I am still stuck with a criticism I always seem to make of these games - they are too short. You will complete it in ~4 - 5 hours if you have any experience with first person shooters. And since the games are extremely scripted, replaying them means encountering the same battles fought the same way time and again - in other words there is little inherent replay value outside of multiplayer. But don't mistake those concerns with a significant criticism - even if you never launch multiplayer, you will complete the single player campaign and feel totally satisfied with the experience. This is an amazing game and one of the best shooters this year - in a fall crowded with other excellent shooters it deserves your attention and hard-earned dollars. In our review of Call of Duty 2 we noted that it...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

An Inspector Calls

Advantages: An incredible insight into social inequality
Disadvantages: Harshly - the play gets predictable

...An Inspector Calls is a play written by J.B. Priestley in 1945, based before World War I, in 1912. The play is about a family, the majority of whom are aristocrats who live in a capitalist atmosphere; full of lies, pride and pure selfishness. Throughout the play a mystery inspector gradually reveals the characters' true identity, looking at how they all contributed to the suicide of Eva Smith. As the play progresses you begin to see that the characters start to understand their personalities, 'wrong-doings' and problems in a clearer light and each of them, despite differing degrees of transformation, move closer to being a socialist citizen. Priestley's main concerns at the time of writing An Inspector Calls was the state of society and social inequality; there was a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Priestley was a socialist...

Review of An Inspector Calls - J. B. Priestley

An Inspector Calls

Advantages: A well-written play, interesting concept
Disadvantages: mIght carry an unintended message?

...An Inspector Calls is set several years before the start of World War 1, in 1912. It is set in the fictional North Midlands industrial city of Brumley. It is thought that this is a parody of Brumagem, an older name for Birmingham. The Birling family is holding a small intimate dinner party to celebrate the engagement of Sheila Birling to Gerald Croft. The party was going well until a police inspector calls. Inspector Goole tells them that a girl (Eva Smith) has died on the way to the local infirmary, after drinking disinfectant. Her death was suicide. And very horrible and painful, as he forcibly points out. The Inspector questions each family member in turn and shows them a photograph of the girl. His line of questioning is unusually aggressive and, in turn, he proves that each member of the family helped, directly or indirectly...

Review of An Inspector Calls - J. B. Priestley

Call of Duty

Advantages: Crisp graphics, nice ranking system, good online modes
Disadvantages: None seen yet from early preview

...very nice with other nice touches too like on a grassy map you have a grassy camoflauge which works very nicely and adds to the realism. The controls work very well to, im not a big fan of using the controller for FPS however i found it very easy to manuever, and as standard there is the sensitivity customization which helps. The only thing i didnt like was how you had to click the stick whilst pushing it forward to run, but thats my personal opinion. Im not personally a big fan of the Call of Duty series but i have to give it to this game....

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

An Inspector Calls

Advantages: A play which holds the reader's interest throughout
Disadvantages: The more asture reader may guess the final outcome

...Priestley's 'time' plays are all fascinating pieces of theatre. An Inspector Calls with its seemingly innocuous dinner-party setting is perhaps the best example of a plot which promises the audience a fairly normal mystery story which then, quite unexpectedly, spirals out of control. The Birling family all have secrets which bubble to the surface as the play progresses. This ordinary middle class group of people are soon revealed as a disparate group of individuals all of whom have reason to bear the guilt of the death of a lowly factory worker. The arrival of a Police Inspector investigating the death of the young woman at first seems little more than routine. This almost gentle, but increasingly sinister, figure soon teases out the fact that every member has influenced the life of the woman in question. The tone of the play...

Ipod nano v3 video

Advantages: Everything, good sound, good picture quality, good battery life
Disadvantages: Its quite pricey but worth the money

...and gives a very good picture. I was amazed when I watched a video on it the picture was actually better than my TVs. Battery The battery can last up to 24 hours it goes quicker the louder you listen to it, the more games you play on it and when you watch videos. Price The iPods start from £99.99 for a 4 GB version and for the 8 GB version it costs £129.99 the iPod is excellent values for money and you can't really fault it. Recommendation I would defiantly recommend this to any potential buyers it's a really good, easy to use mp3 player. Which has many features that other mp3s don't have such as the ability to play and download games and videos. It also has a decent screen size and quality. This ipod is a definate must....

Review of Apple iPod Nano video 8GB Third Generation

Call Of Duty 4

Advantages: Immense individual, multiplayer and online gameplay
Disadvantages: Could be more missions

...This is one of the greatest games ever made, and in my opinion the greatest game for online gamplay that exists. The missions are compelling and excellent, and the graphics are unbelievable. The best part of the game is the Xbox Live gameplay (for Xbox 360) and is really addictive (I know of people who have clocked up over 30 days of Call Of Duty 4 online gameplay) and is especially fun if you play with your friends as you can compare stats like most kills and most points etc. The game is so popular that the price is still reasonably high (between £30 and £40) which is a credit to Activision as they really have exceeded expectations with this revolutionary game. The sound effects are incredible, and the noise of the gunshot is so convincing and realistic it can feel like your actually near gunfire. I would recommend however...
