genre, after it tragically burned itself out after an all too short stint as the world's most popular game genre. Like many a celebrity before it the games became bloated by its own success and so complicated that only hardcore fans could actually be bothered to play them and althoughGround Control IIdoes little that is new it does at least do it in a way that normal people can understand and enjoy.The first thing the game does to make itself more accessible to the average gamer is get rid of all that boring resource management business. Here everything is about controlling troops and getting stuck into as many sci-fi battles as you can, not worrying about whether your peons are mining enough gold. New units are assigned as you gain "acquisition points" during a mission and are then brought directly to the battlefield on huge dropships, again making sure you can concentrate on making war instead of faffing around with factories.Because of the emphasis on combat you have a lot more control over your troops than usual, with the ability to switch formations and use cover and elevation to improve your position. Apart from improved graphics there's virtually nothing here that that hasn't been seen before, including in the originalGround Control, but the focus on user friendly controls and straight combat means that it should appeal to a significantly wider audience. --David Jenkins
Advantages: cheaper and more effective than commercial groundbaits. Disadvantages: The only disadvantage I find, is that you have to make it your self.
...Although there are plenty of good ready made groundbaits available, I personally like to make my own.
I would like to share some of my own, home made groundbait recipes which I have found to be very effective.
My favourite winter groundbait mix, for fishing using the pole for small silver fish.
Take..
1Kilo of Mole Hill Soil, which has been dried to a powder and sieved.
4 Table spoons of turmeric.
1 Table spoon of caster sugar.
1 Tea spoon of table salt.
100g of corn flour.
1/2 a bag of sieved punch crumb.
200g of ground trout pellets.
1 Tea spoon of ground ginger.
3 Table spoons of chocolate powder or coco powder.
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, buy adding the water to the mixture not mixture to the water. This will give you a less lumpy mix.
I find using a water spray bottle, rather than just...

Advantages: Lightweight, Long-lasting, Comfortable Disadvantages: Little protection from injury
...As a football coach who also plays competitvely twice a week my choice of football boots is extremely important. When playing on soft ground I use the new Adidas F50+ boots, but when the ground is hard there is no substitute for the Nike Air Zoom Mercurials. With a pricetag of over £100 they are expensive, but will prove tremendous value for money in the long term. I've had my pair for two years now, but you wouldn't know it apart from the studs being slightly worn down.
The best feature of the boots is how little they weigh (approx 185g), giving you the feeling of being able to run faster and accelerate away or towards an opponent. The shape of the boots and the soft leather make a great contact surface with the football for accurate passing and shooting. They are also extremely comfortable to wear.
The only negative thing you...

Advantages: Amazing comfort, fantastic grip, great looking pair of gloves Disadvantages: A little bit expensive
...thumb, 2nd and 5th fingers because the ball is being gripped with the edge of the latex on the fingers, but with the Vapors, the ball is been gripped superbly by the latex on the fingers, because the latex surrounds the thumb, index and 5th fingers exactly where the ball rests in your hands. This makes the ball much easier to hold in your hands!
So overall, by having the rolled thumb, index and 5th fingers, holding onto the football is much easier and comfortable while wearing the Vapor gloves. It makes the ball much easier to control, and so it is easier to do whatever you like with it. You hear about strikers who have superb ball control, and can do whatever they like with the ball. Well, now it can be the same for goalkeepers handling the ball!!

Tony Hawks Proving Ground for the Wii....
Having only recently bought a Wii console I was a bit unsure as to what games to get that would have the best game play. Initially with the console I got more sport like games but because I purchased several more
I bought this game a while back. First thing to say is it's certainly not the best tony hawk game but it isn't the worst either. As far as gameplay goes you can have simply hours of just pure fun if your a skate fan or a skater yourself, it's not as... more
Tony Hawks is a strong institution among skaters and gamers alike. For me his games have always been likable, but there's something about Proving Ground that makes this game a cut above the rest. The NDS version of the game incorporates both the... more
