IF YOU LIKE WORD GAMES YOU'LL LOVE THIS

Advantages: Four games on one disk, will not date and therefore you can still enjoy playing it in years to come - assuming that the system requirements allow you too
Disadvantages: I haven't come across any

...At work I don't have access to the Internet so I decided to dig out some of my old PC games and install them at work to play when I have 5 minutes spare to laze about. One of the games I dug out was a word games disk that I used to play a lot before we got the Internet at home, since having the Internet I don't think it has seen the light of day, until this week when I dug it out. The game is simply called Word Games For Windows, it is Manufactured by Guildhall Leisure Services Limited and is sold in CD ROM Format. As the title suggests you will need to be running Windows in order to install the games but other than that there is not a list of system requirements detailed on the packaging. At work our computer is at least 3 years old and is very basic, as I don't have any problems running the game there I would imagine that...

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Advantages: Great multiplayer fun, lots to do
Disadvantages: Slightly Repetetive

...The Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has been with us for a while now, and it hasn't been too badly received either amongst the Wii-mote waving, button bashing members of the public out there, so now that the DS version has finally arrived, should these same gamers still be as excited as they were the first time around? Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on the DS is certainly not short on features, 16 playable characters have all been included, each of which are split into four categories such speed, skill, power and the all rounder's, therefore you can choose which characters you would prefer to use for each event based on their ability. The game also offers plenty of choice when it comes to events, these range from sprinting, swimming and cycling to more specialist events such as fencing and gymnastics...

==Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)==

Advantages: variety of games to play
Disadvantages: Slow loading

...Mario & Sonic at the olympic games was the first game i bought after getting a Wii for christmas. I personally think that it is an excellent first game to get for the Wii. You can happily play for hours and hours becuase of the wide variety of events you can play. These events include; *"Swimming" *"Archery" *"Running" *"Hurdles" *"Long jump" *"Triple jump" *High jump" *"Pole vault" *"Hammer throw" *"Javeline throw" *"Epée" *"Trampoline" *"Vault" *"Rowing" *"Skeet" *"Tennis" So as you can see by this list you have a wide variety to choose from but you also have the options of unlocking different games, this can be done by breaking records and so on. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is fun for all the family to enjoy because it has a multiplayer option of upto 4 people. You also get to choose from all your favourite...

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Advantages: Great fun, realistic actions
Disadvantages: Will tire you out easily

...During the 1990s, if you had a games console you would have probably been in one of two camps: Sega or Nintendo. I certainly was rooted firmly in the Sega camp having had a Mega Drive for many, many years with games like Street of Rage, Ecco the Dolphin and of course, Sonic the Hedgehog. I was a huge Sonic fan, playing the first and second game until completion and then starting up again a few days later as I loved everything about it, the colours, the gameplay.... everything. So if you tried to convince me that some 10-15 years later that Sonic and Mario would team up in a game, I probably would have just laughed. Back then it would have been an absurd thought but one that any magazine reviewer or computer game fanboy would have only dreamed about. Well January 2008 saw this realisation with the release of Sonic & Mario...

Now you can compete in the olympic games

Advantages: fun, variety of events
Disadvantages: muscle strain

...Having seen the advert for this game i was desperate to buy it as i have not had my wii for that long and i do not have many games. I eventually bought this game and i am so glad that i did as it is great fun. Players This game can be played as a one player or multiplayer as long as you have a wii remote for each player. Also you will need a nunchuck for each player although some of the games you can play with just the remote. Characters In this game you can play as characters from either sonic or mario such as sonic, tails, mario, princess daisy and yoshi. Each of the characters have different abilities which are split into speed, skill, power and stamina. you can choose a character who is a speed, skill, power or all around type which means that if you are playing a running game you would choose a character from the speed type...

The Power of Words

Advantages: beautifully written , plot driven . Known in Japan as Ai no Kotodama, there is also a film
Disadvantages: please note the mature rating, this is not a young people's comic!

...Words can hurt, and words can praise; we all know this, but additionally, most cultures around the world have a belief that said in a certain manner, words also have power. Whether imbued with emotion or additional unsaid meaning, uttering ordinary words can alter reality and change the course of events. In the West, we might consider that idea one of spell casting, but in Japan, it is known as "kotodama". Kotodama is not merely spell casting though, as it has far reaching spiritual applications there and features in martial arts and various Shinto practices. Thinking on the power of words, and knowing that just as saying some things may alter courses of events, we in the West probably also realise that sometimes NOT uttering the words can lead to great regret. Such is the power of words: this is kotodama. This is the very quandary that...

Review of Words of Devotion - Keiko Konno

Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (Wii) is an 'ok' game.

Advantages: Lots of sports, can play with balance board, ability to play with a mii, dream events are fun.
Disadvantages: No real story, Balance Board controls poorly on most mini-games, might get boring quickly.

...First off, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is yet another mini-game collection. The Wii has seen a large amount of these types of games lately, so if yet another one is going to appear on the Wii, it had better be a good one. And that's the problem with this particular game. In no way is this game terrible, but it isn't that remarkable either. If it released on another console i might have been a bit more forgiving, however on a console with such a large number of mini-game collections already, there are probably quite a few collections out there already that surpass this game. *Appearance and Sound* GRAPHICS The graphics in this game are as you'd expect them to be, although there are a few places where the graphics are exceptionally good. One example of this is when you are on the 'Sport Select' screen, the backgrounds...

Type Your Words Here: Word 2007

Advantages: New interface is sleek and useful, tonnes of features!
Disadvantages: Maybe a little pricey.

...Microsoft Word is the standard word processing software that everyone will be familiar with, the latest instalment; Microsoft Word 2007 shakes things up a bit making some changes to the Word program. Look The program interface has gotten a whole new look, it is still recognisable as Microsoft Word but it has been brought up to date with some features that make it feel like Microsoft's new Operating System, Windows Vista. In the top corner you have your Office Button which is very like the Windows Vista orb but features the Office logo instead, this is basically the start button for the program and from it you will be able to access all your usual functions such as Opening documents, saving, printing, publishing and all the usual options you would expect. Next to that you have something which is very like the taskbars quick launch...

Review of Picture Word Lotto

3 Words: It's Damn Good!

Advantages: Good mix of songs, doesn't push Cheryl's voice, suits her, easy to listen to
Disadvantages: Only 10 tracks, too much Will.i.am

...release. It's the title track from the album and is called 3 Words. The song feature Will.I.Am on equal vocals with Cheryl, and is a surprisingly heartfelt one. You can sense the emotion coming from Cheryl and I wasn't surprised to read that she had written this one herself... it's clearly about her and her husband, but it's a very catchy song and sure to be a hit. Another song that follows on with the love theme and also written by Cheryl is the third song, Heaven. It again features Will.I.Am and I very much like the verses of this one, they are very tuneful and easy to listen to but the choruses don't really do it for me. The whole album has an upbeat feel to it, and a few of the tracks really emphasise that dancey feeling. "Rain On Me" is probably the out and out pop number of the album, with a belting chorus that has Cheryl pushing out...
