Advantages: Sound effects and music are brilliant, gameplay is amazing, controls are so much better
Disadvantages: the only disadvantage really is the graphics havent improved but how could they

...Me and my friends have always loved the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) video games and we have always watched it for about 5 years. Thankfully, after my mate lending me this game, I saw that WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007 is an incredible improvement in pretty much all respects and absolutely brings the series to a new best. Graphics - 8/10 No major improvements in the PS2 version really, in my opinion. Though just as good as ever, there's not alot more than last year's edition graphics wise that has been offered to us PS2 users. Whilst the XBox360 gets a barrage of new graphics for using a newer generation console, there isn't much to say about the PS2 graphics engine that is different appearance wise. On the bright side, the Season mode movie clips are as good as ever, though there aren't as many of these now also with longer... Read review

...Way a DIVAn’t kna like! I’ve been buying this magazine for 3 years now. (well my girlfriend has). I first came across it when I was left in her flat alone for the first time. Now I shouldn’t really admit to this, but I was snooping ‘as you do’, I was in the middle of my snoop when I came across this magazine. Imagine my delight, when on the front cover I saw the most beautiful looking woman my eyes had ever come across. That was it, my hunt for any juicy items in my girlfriends flat had stopped, and there was I engrossed in a magazine. Now this is my magazine of choice, each month I pop into WH Smiths and buy it. 2.25 into the till, and with a funny look from the woman behind the counter I skip-no run out of the shop with a grin on my face. Why so excited?..I hear you say. Well my friends, Diva is a magazine edited... Read review

Advantages: A star studded experience
Disadvantages: Patti Labelle's infernal racket

...The VH1 Divas is hailed as one of the biggest musical concerts of the year and is advertised on television, radio and the internet for months before its transmission. Broadcast live in America and a few days later on Sky television here in the UK the event raises money for charities across the US, and this year its good cause was to bring music back to schools, a subject close to the heart of many of the performers appearing in the show. We were lucky enough to win tickets for the musical extravaganza this year and were flown over to Vegas by VH1 for five days with the concert being part of our wonderful few days away. Tickets were selling like hotcakes via the net and ranged in price from $75 to $150 so we counted ourselves lucky that we had the top priced ones clutched in our sweaty little hands on the night of the performance...

Disadvantages: A couple of weak links/not enough tracks

...daughter. The result was the release of her first solo album “Diva”, which has received critical acclaim the world over. The album reached No. 1 in the UK album charts and deservedly stayed there for well over a year. So, the album itself includes:- WHY 4:54 “How many times do I have to try to tell you That I’m sorry for the things I’ve done” This is a lovely soft soulful yearning love song. Somehow the messages contained in the lyrics remind me of the book “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”. Simply because my perception of this song is that it’s all about how communication between men and women, more often than not lovers, is misunderstood and misconstrued. The instrumental reminds me of waterfalls, which is quite fitting because tears are mentioned! 9/10 WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS 4:13 “Now every one of us... Read review

Advantages: some classic pop songs
Disadvantages: a couple of songs haven't dated brilliantly

...The Eurythmics were one of the most innovative and distinctive bands of the 1980's , producing hits like 'Sweet Dreams' and 'There Must Be An Angel Playing With My Heart' amongst their 9 Top 10 hits. Along with her partner Dave Stewart, Annie Lennox became one of British pop's most recognisable symbols of the 1980's with her ever changing hair and dress sense as well as one of the most respected vocalists of her generation. After Stewart married Bananarama and Shakespear's Sister star Siobhan Fahey, the Eurythmics split and Annie went about recording her first solo studio album. Three years later in 1992, she emerged with 'Diva', a collection of personal and raw songs rather than the synth-driven anthems that people had previously associated her with. Polished, but not over-produced, the album won her numerous awards including... Read review

Advantages: A good mix of styles stops it feeling stale
Disadvantages: We are hoarse in our house!

...My daughter has recently been going to a summer club and has become more passionate about listening to music as each week has gone on. As a treat, I took her shopping and let her choose a treat for herself. Not surprisingly, we headed to the nearest music store, and left an agonizing 20 minutes later with this CD, ‘Hairbrush Divas 2’. She made me read the track listing on countless CD’s, but this was the one which had her most excited. That was 1 week ago, and I think we have now listened to the CD at least 3 times every single day, so I feel I am more than qualified to review it! The CD has a mix of styles and eras, and even the choosiest listener will find at least one song which they can listen to, so it is ideal if you are having a few people around as most of them will be happy with the choice of music at some point during the night...

Advantages: Great to boogie to, some good classics, great value for money.
Disadvantages: One or two out of place songs.

...Overview: I bought the first Hairbrush Divas album for my Stepdad for Christmas - He likes people like Kylie, so he really wanted the album. There were some really good songs on it, but this album does have some of the older and better tracks on. Deciding between the two albums would be a difficult choice, as both of them have an equal amount of brilliant songs, but I think the first album has a slightly bigger 'sing your heart out' factor. Still, this album has some real classics such as Ladies Night, Lost in Music, If I Can't Have You etc, and is the kind of album you would put on whilst getting ready for a night out. It really gets you in the mood for a good ol' boogie, and I can guarantee that you'll be singing into your hairbrush and dancing on the bed before you know it. Just don't blame me if you're late out!

Advantages: Easy-to-use, clear interface
Disadvantages: Bug-ridden, poor detection rates, Vista incompatibility

...I recently bought a PC and requested that Panda Internet Security 2007 and Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2007 come bundled with it. I did not realise at the time that the latter product superseded the former. I had problems installing the products anyway - the versions that came bundled with the computer were not Vista-compatible and as my PC's OS was Vista, they would not install. I contacted my PC supplier, as really they should have seen better than to bundle incompatible software, and they suggested I contact Panda directly, so I did, and downloaded and registered Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2007 from Panda's website. I then downloaded Panda Internet Security 2007 and realised that it had all of the functions of Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2007 plus some extra ones, so I installed and registered that instead. I contacted Panda... Read review

Advantages: Personal, DVD, Music, TV, News.
Disadvantages: I ramble!

...Firstly 2007 is a good year for me because I turned 16 and now am finally able to… wait STILL absolutely nothing. Not allowed to smoke, not allowed to drink, not allowed to drive and not allowed to have any fun what so ever. All I can do is bloody buy a lottery ticket. Fun! Now getting back to the important stuff. The reviews I've seen so far are mainly all about personal stuff but I thought why not put in things that have been happening around me, like the decent films that have come out this year, what's been happening in the world that has touched me in some way and of course personal things that have happened to me this year. What do you think? Does it sound okay so far? Just remember that these are my opinions being strong as they are… I hope none of you take offence and if you do please tell me and I will explain more.

Advantages: The most user-friendly desktop publishing software out!
Disadvantages: Bit slow to start up.

...annoying toolbars and this new layout I quite neat. However with this new layout comes the problem that the task pane is not that customizable. It should be noted that this type of toolbar is used throughout several of the Office 2007 programs, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook. The word processor itself is pretty much the same. A few more fonts have been added. The default font is no longer 'Times New Roman' but 'Calibri' which is much more fun. It can only be described as a cross between Arial and Comic Sans MS. A series of quick launch icons such as 'Quick Print' and 'Page Preview' are also available beside what you would call the 'File Button' as it is now an orb containing the Office logo. A couple of great new features include a tool called SmartArt and the new and improved WordArt. SmartArt is a graphics design... Read review
