Daemon Summoner (PS2)
Customer Review: Better than some budget games
Daemon Summoner is actually an average first person shooter that reminded me (very slightly) of Darkwatch. The graphics aren’t that bad and the gameplay is pretty decent too.

The controls are very basic and the first weapon you have fires stakes at a snails pace and means you have to run backwards if you at first miss an enemy.

The Victorian London streets are very well rendered, as are the London sewers (although that part of the game is slightly aggravating as each corner you turn looks the same), but the game creates decent atmosphere when at times you turn corners right into the path of a zombie.

When playing I managed to escape the sewers and then came across two vampires. Each creature is shot according to their lore, i.e. zombies have their heads blown off and vampires are shot in the chest area.

The character you play is tracing his vampiric wife in order to destroy her, but the problem with this game is that the path is not properly laid out for the player and I was left walking round the Victorian London streets trying to locate his former wife, hearing only laughter at certain points. As a result I could not progress with the game and ended up leaving it.

As far as budget games go, this is by far one of the best I have played and I do recommend it if you have a tenner to spare.

Customer Review: the rock 'n' roll compilation
I like that 1959 single by Adam Faith 'What Do You Want'.
I like this compilation Capital Gold Rock 'N' Roll Legends CD'.

Customer Review: Excellent compilation of rock’n'roll classics
Pop music as we have come to know it really began with rock and roll. This compilation includes many of the classic songs from the birth of rock and roll up to the early sixties including many of the great American artists and a few of the best British artists.

Among the famous tracks here are Rock around the clock (Bill Haley), Blue suede shoes (Carl Perkins), Heartbreak hotel, Hound dog (both Elvis Presley), Great balls of fire (Jerry Lee Lewis), Long tall Sally, The girl can’t help it (both Little Richard), Bird dog (Everly brothers), Dream lover (Bobby Darin), Only the lonely (Roy Orbison), Save the last dance for me (Drifters), Hello Mary Lou (Ricky Nelson), Rubber ball (Bobby Vee), The locomotion (Little Eva), Let’s Dance (Chris Montez), Will you love me tomorrow (Shirelles), The wanderer (Dion), Runaway (Del Shannon), Tears on my pillow (Little Anthony), Poetry in motion (Johnny Tillotson) and I only have eyes for you (Flamingos) – and there are plenty of others, too.

The British are represented by Cliff Richard (Move it, Do you wanna dance), Adam faith (What do you want), Johnny Kidd and the pirates (Shaking all over), the Shadows (F B I), Billy Fury (Halfway to paradise), Helen Shapiro (Don’t treat me like a child) and Marty Wilde (Sea of love).

If you are looking for a collection of rock’n'roll music, this is as good as you are likely to find. There are some artists notable by their absence including Chuck Berry and Brenda Lee but with over sixty great tracks, who’s complaining? Not me.

Hot Rocks Vol.1 1964-1971


Hot Rocks Vol.1 1964-1971
It’s the rare greatest-hits album that takes on a life of its own. Generally, best-of collections are superceded by updated retrospectives. Hot Rocks is one of the rare exceptions to the rule. Originally released in 1972, it instantly became the Stones intro of choice, elbowing aside Big Hits, High Tide and Green Grass and Through the Past Darkly. Why? It happened to hit the racks when Mick and company were at their creative peak. The 21 tracks found here represent seven years of dizzying growth. From “Time is on My Side” through “Satisfaction” and “Let’s Spend the Night Together,” on to Sticky Fingers’s “Brown Sugar” and “Wild Horses,” Hot Rocks never lets up. The likes of Sucking in the ’70s and Jump Back come and go, but this Stones overview will not be moved. –Steven Stolder

Customer Review: Just look at the list of 21 classic songs you get here
While I am writing a review of this two-CD collection of classic early Stones tracks, Hot Rocks 1964-1971 basically sells itself. You get all of the best songs from one of rock’s most successful, long-established groups. These songs are probably older than Keith Richards’ wife, but they still stand head and shoulders above most of the music released in the last three decades. On most retrospective collections, people look down the track list and ask why is that song on here or say they don’t even remember this or that track. Not so with the Stones’ Hot Rocks – each of the 21 song titles is immediately recognizable.

It’s great to hear some of the really classic songs any time you want. I’m actually rather sick of Satisfaction because that sometimes seems to be the only Stones track the deejays think they can play. It’s a great song, but it’s far from the Stones’ best. I’ll take Paint It Black any day of the week – this song has a uniquely haunting quality that reaches out and grabs you, and many may remember how it was used to perfection in the film Full Metal Jacket. CD number one has a great mix of fast and slow songs: Jagger gets mellow on the likes of Time Is On My Side, Play With Fire, and As Tears Go By, but the truly memorable songs are rocking tracks such as Get Off of My Cloud, Mother’s Little Helper, and 19th Nervous Breakdown. CD number two finds the guys a little farther along in their careers, and it’s not hard to hear the maturity of the sound as the Stones’ begin experimenting with different styles and adding an unquantifiable sense of polish to their work. Jumping Jack Flash, Sympathy For the Devil, Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar – we all know and love these. I’m actually fonder of the tracks that get a little less attention, though: Street Fighting Man, Gimme Shelter, You Can’t Always Get What You Want, and Wild Horses. I only have one little complaint: Midnight Rambler (the only live song included here) just seems to have pretty poor sound quality.

If you’ve read this far, you’ll realize that all I’m really doing is telling you what songs are on Hot Rocks 1964-1971 – that’s really all you need to know. If the titles alone don’t convince you to buy this collection, nothing I say here will show you the error of your ways, either.

Customer Review: Uncompromising rock n roll genius
The Rolling Stones spent much of the sixties in the shadow of the Beatles and, with regards to their respective albums, perhaps deservedly so. However, as this 2-disc retrospective proves, they were every bit as important as their clean-cut contemporaries.

To its credit, this edition of Hot Rocks is in chronological order and weighted very much in favour of their late sixties output, which was undoubtedly their best work. Of the early sixties singles, the inclusion of the likes of Time Is On My Side and Heart Of Stone seems a little strange, at the expense of more historically important cuts such as Not Fade Away or It’s All Over Now. However, these tracks do set the mood well for what is to come, and from Satisfaction onwards there is no looking back.

From here on in, we are taken on a breathtaking ride through the sixties according to the World’s Greatest Rock N Roll Band. Paint It Black, Let’s Spend The Night Together, Jumping Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women. Every track is an undisputed classic. The second disc especially, builds momentum through the hypnotic Sympathy For The Devil, the atmospheric Gimme Shelter and the huge, orchestral You Can’t Always Get What You Want. All of this culminates in the final double encore of their best rocker, Brown Sugar, and their lovely country ballad, Wild Horses.

Quite simply put, this CD is brilliant, and I cannot praise it highly enough. It is easily the finest collection of popular rock songs ever gathered together onto one volume, and that includes the Beatles equivalent Red and Blue albums. The real question you are now facing, is whether you should buy it now or five minutes ago. So go on, what are you waiting for?

SingStar (PS2)
Looking for one of the best multi-player party games on the PlayStation 2? You’ve just found it, and it’s called SingStar. It’s a game that tests you on your singing ability–or lack of–and serves up some rollicking entertainment while it does so.

Using two microphones (not included), the idea is that, in true karaoke style, songs with predominantly official backing videos appear on your screen and you have to sing the right words at the right time. Also, you’ll find on-screen indicators as to what pitch you need to be singing at, and it’s here that the game assesses you. Hit the right notes for the right amount of time, and you’ll get high scores, which in career mode can then unlock virtual clubs to sing at and more songs, too.

The single-player mode is fairly simple and straightforward, but in multi-player mode SingStar strikes gold. The game comes laden with numerous little games, which can involve you passing the mic around, or joining up for a good old-fashioned duet. Then there’s the outstanding battle mode, where two of you warble through the same song concurrently, and the game picks a winner at the end. Replete with the option to replay your performance and even use an EyeToy to be the star of the music video, SingStar is fantastic entertainment.

A couple of minor gripes: the aforementioned single-player mode is short-term fun at best, and could be improved; the 30 included songs–from bands as diverse as Atomic Kitten and Mot?rhead–are mostly well chosen and varied, but you’ll work your way through them a little too quickly. (Add-on packs may well redress this.)

Ultimately, SingStar is innovative, very easy to get to grips with and when on top form, flat-out brilliant. For those looking for a multi-player game in particular, it comes very highly recommended. –Simon Brew

Customer Review: Great fun.
I bought this as a gift for my sisters 16th birthday. It did not dissapoint, she was right on the ps2 giving it a go. We already had the 80s, RnB and another one but had major trouble finding this in any shop. So thats a bonus right there. It came 3 days after i ordered it. Its the only game with a story mode too it as the others are more fun based but this gives you an objective. Right this very min my sister is singing her heart out on it and im glad it did not dissapoint.

Customer Review: Great to play with friends and family
This is the first ever singstar and although other versions have more features on (such as medleys…); this has possibly the best selection of songs. Ultimately when choosing which Singstar to buy, it’s the songs that matter and this has a good selection of new and old pop songs. It guarantees fun for you and your friends and family and although it’s not really worth playing alone much, it is worth the money it is sold for.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Singer


Rock ‘n’ Roll Singer
It’s been four years since Red House Painters’ Songs For A Blue Guitar was released, with its near-legendary guitar solo on “More Like Paper” (allegedly the reason behind the Painters’ parting of ways with their label, 4AD). Since then, legal difficulties have prevented the release of its follow-up, Old Ramon. Fans, therefore, must content themselves with this haunting, acoustic solo record from singer Kozelek in the interim. It’s as solemn, slow-paced and simmering as one would expect from the man who invented “slowcore”, but nowhere near as meandering as his main group could sometimes be. Songs like “Around And Around” and the poignant elegy “Rose Marie” have a Denver-esque quality to them, while Kozelek’s cover of AC/DC’s youth anthem “Rock’N'Roll Singer” is almost unrecognisable. It’s amazing what a little minimalism will do. –Everett True

Customer Review: Kozelek’s Understated Gem (4.5 stars)
Along with “What’s Next To The Moon,” this album represents Kozelek’s work as solo artist, after the demise of the wonderful Red House Painters period.
For those people particularly in love with RHP’s sound, this may be require a bit of an adjustment. This is a quiet outing, intimate and almost withdrawn. This, by itself, should not be a big surprise since RHP, even when they rocked, maintained a thoughful and melancholy tone.
Once you accept that there’s plenty to welcome, as much in his own compositions as in the chosen covers. To start with the latter, I must say that Denver’s tune, “Around And Around” is probably the best non-Kozelek song in this album. The AC-DC versions are good but better covers can be found in his other aforementioned solo album.
Now, when it comes to the self-penned material, “Find Me, Ruben Olivares” is as good as your favorite RHP stuff, and “Ruth Marie” may be one of the most gorgeous folk songs written by anyone in a long, long time.
Whereas most solo spin-offs after great bands disband, often, tend to lose the luster of the previous material, Kozelek manages to maintain the quality you may already be accustomed to, and will satisfy anyone without the obligation of being a faithful completist.

Customer Review: One of 2K’s best albums!
I have listened to Red House Painters ALOT and I still find new magical stuff in their records. This new soloalbum from Kozelek hasn’t quite the same slow and moaning feel over it. It is a bit more faster and happier. Not to say that it is a happy record. When all is said and done: this is definitely one of the best records I’ve EVER bought. It’s a shame it’s only about 28 minutes, but every single second is pure Kozelek-magic…
