Advantages: Genius, just Genius.
Disadvantages: All your spare time is gone, for some reason.

...Well, does this game need another review that just tells you how great it is and how it's the best game ever and that you'll never get sick of it? No, but here it is anyway. This game.... oh, man This Game. Wow. Having recieved it in the post on it's day of release (28/10/04) I have only just taken it out of my PS2 (8/3/05), that's five months of constant gaming for £30, bargain. And I haven't finished with it, not by a long shot. It's gonna keep me going for years. I got Vice City in September '03 and stopped playing that when SA came out! and SA is a million times better. Anyway, enough about the value on with the fun. You play, as you probably know, as Carl 'CJ' Johnson, a gang member of the Orange Grove Families. you have to build a criminal empire from nothing with only guns and guts. good luck. The Game takes you on a ride across... Read review

Advantages: Great look, durable, nice tones
Disadvantages: Price

...The BOSS Metal Zone MT-2 has become one of the world's most commonly used effects pedals, and is the pedal of choice of most of the metal genre's finest guitarists. It has a three-band equaliser and semi-parametric midtone equaliser to provide an optimum range of tones to suit a variety of subgenres. It seems that BOSS are so confident in their product that they have offered a 5 year warranty with their product. Perhaps this is because it is built of solid metal for extra durability; be it in your bedroom or at a live show. The Metal Zone MT-2 is powered either through a 9V AC adaptor or from a 9V battery. Yet, I think that although this pedal does produce an excellent sound, the price is completely ridiculous. Retailing at around £59.99, it is no match for the Behringer Ultra Metal UM100 pedal, which although is not as solid... Read review

Advantages: recharge while play/record. V.short recharge time
Disadvantages: none

...I am convinced the MT-821 is the work horse unit of the group. This unit can record and play while being recharged, and has a great battery life. The thing about the unit that amazes me is the rechargin time. I know it says it takes 3 hours or so to recharge a fully dead battery, but for me its no longer than 45 min! I think the unit is sturdy, although the lense is loud when it moves, the clamshell feature is well built. I have had the unit suffer many minor falls, and one major fall to the pavement from 3 feet. Only thing it suffered was a small ding in the clamshell top, the unit didn't open quite right when i first tried to open it after this, but it has since RESET itself to open properly. :~D Only problem i have ever had is using the original power supply (from japan). When i charge the unit, if playing it will stop and wont play... Read review

Advantages: near to christchurch, much cheaper than europe
Disadvantages: long way from UK!

...Mt Hutt near Christchurch is a fantastic and good value place to learn to ski. I went there as a complete beginner and paid NZ$70 for a day which included hire of skis, boots and poles. Two, 1.5 hours lessons and learner lift pass. Best to go in the week when its quieter and preferably when theres been alot of fresh snow fallen recently. You can get shuttle buses that take you from door to slopes for between $30 and $40. Be well prepared clothes sise as it can be very cold or very hot there! Don't forget to bring sun screen as its easy to get burnt.... Read review

Advantages: Fabulous views ,lots of wildlife, rewarding
Disadvantages: Hard work, primitive, fairly expensive

...Mt Kenya national park is less famous than the Masai Mara or Kilimanjaro but has everything the adventurous spirit could want. The mountain itself is the main draw for most people but the park itself has plenty of wildlife and is much less crowded than the big game parks. The climb up and back takes 5-6 days and is pretty strenuous. Most nights there are huts to stay in but camping is necessary on some routes. Listening at night in your tent to a herd of buffalo grazing a few metres away is an unforgettable experience ! It is more or less compulsory to take a guide and porter - you won't want to cook your own food or put up your tent anyway. Amateur climbers can reach Lenana point, just short of 5,000 metres....

Advantages: More than one variety.
Disadvantages: High in sugar.

...Upon a late night visit to my local corner shop on the quest for "treats", I noticed this bag of beauty's, nestled inconspicuously next to the revels. After a closer inspection I realised that this particular pack contained all mt husbands favourites, so of course this also warrants a review! The product I will now review is "Rowntree's, pick & mix". The bag that these sweets come in is very colourful and eye catching, it consists of thick diagonal orange, purple, yellow and green "stripes". In the centre of the pack is a picture of all the different fruit flavours that is incorporated into the sweets, the strawberries look particularly appetising! Across this picture is the product brand and name in thick, bold white writing, with the three sweets in the pack being named beneath this with a picture of each sweet. Finally on the pack...

...the heck you may as well download films! They may be good to watch, but its better and legal to go out and buy it or watch it in the cinema. Good Points: · Easy to use, · Free, · Hundreds of files, · Millions of users, · Can find what your looking for, · Great for hearing music before you buy it, · No Spyware or ad ware, Bad Points: · Can find porn online, · Can download porn movies, images etc, · Some files may be incomplete, · Some may put hoax files, pretending its is the file but it may not be that file, · More and more people downloading and creating illegal goods, · Bad for major companies, Let me ask you a question, do you think downloading files via a P2P network is right or wrong?

Advantages: Cheap food and accommodation, friendly people and nice scenary
Disadvantages: Not very much history and widely spread out, so lots of travelling

...Oregon is a beautiful state on the West Coast of the US. I visited the state on my first visit to the country and was pleasantly surprised. The towns are spread out and spacious. The grid system makes them tourist friendly. Shopping is adequate; Portland is actually pretty good for shopping and has a Nike shop that is worth a visit. Moving out of the towns, the countryside is truly breath taking. Forests litter the landscape, particularly in the north of the state. The air is clean and fresh and driving around the countryside is a pleasure. Head north to see Mt St Helens, where the scars left by the last eruption can still be seen on the once magnificent trees. Snow sports are good at the resort near Mt St Helens and can be indulged in all year around. The lodge is particularly pleasant. For a different type of landscape, venture south... Read review
