...I purchased the Hope mini brakes to replace the Giants own brand type that were on my XTC3 bike, these brakes were ok but the back brake had caused me no end of problems, so I looked on the net and after reading several reviews I decided to purchase the Hope Mini.

Now then, this was the one I'd been waiting for. See, I understand that £50 is a lot to part with for a game (though I saw pre-release copies of this going on eBay for £200 just 2 days before the official release date, which is just daft). But those... more
I never watched wrestling when it was big, when everyone had a favourite wrestler, a favourite 'brand'. Apparently my boyfriend did though. When he bought a ps2 last year the first game he bought was WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007, it didn't take long for us more
Walking through my local Comet store with the husband, we were discussing games for 'girlies' when I said that I fancied something a little bit business like, something like The Sims, but with a purpose to aim for. On the bargain rail, there was a copy... more
