Customer Review: Worth learning French for!
French combo Superbus’ second album, and for those who like strong pop melodies underpinned with hard-edge guitar work, the album’s a treat. The lyrics are mostly in French (which work best) with some in English, occasionally lapsing into cliche here and there, but rhythmically they mostly do their stuff. Charismatic frontwoman Jennifer Ayache has certainly done her pop homework, and you can detect the results of her extended stay in the US with the influences of SUM 41 and BLINK 182 well to the fore, but there’s enough gallic pezzazz there to give this group its own unique sound. The instrumentalists are tight and well drilled, and know all the tricks in the book without detracting from the songs themselves. Check out 2006’s ‘Wow’ CD which reveals an even more polished sound, and one cracker of a single, ‘Lola’, that fuses a eurovision-style chorus with disco rhythms and grungy guitars. The view across the Channel has never looked better!

Customer Review: A must-have for those who crave women voices
“Pop pop” is not just another Rickie Lee Jones album. The combination of her peculiar, nasal, almost childish voice with the minimalism of Charlie Haden’s bass and Robben Ford’s acoustic nylon guitar creates a dreamy framework for an unforgettable recreation of several standards. The overall mood of the album is very intimate and light but at the same time deeply involving. Sound quality is very good, capturing both Rickie’s husky voice and the space where the instruments are playing, literally transporting you to the studio where the reording was made. There are times when you _hear_ Rickie smiling while singing, such is the palpability of the recording. The album is very balanced throughout, no song is really bad. Strongly recommended : probably one of my 20 “desert island” CDs.

8 Meg Memory Licensed Customer Review: Alternative Memory Card
Well what is there to say about a memory card? As long as they hold the data and offer the same load and save speeds as the official Sony products, then why not save some cash on it?!

I have found that this product does in fact work just as well as the Sony line of Memory cards. And to boot it comes in real purdy colors.
Customer Review: A DECENT MEMORY CARD
Its not as good as the authentic psx 2 memory cards, but if you want to save a couple of quid then this is the memory card for you. So far mine has been perfect, and loaded and saved just as quickly as my mates official one. With the old playstation I found that the unofficial memory cards sometimes wiped themselves, but that hasnt happened to me so far, and hopefully it wont. Only 4 stars though, because the official one looks better in your playstation.

Fireblade (PS2) Customer Review: An uplifting effort, just a little too grouded.
Fireblade puts you in command of 2 types of highly specialised pieces of aviation technology in the guise of the Vendetta & Talon (Attack & Transport).

These are equiped with Fire & Forget missiles, Rockets, Incedury Armour Piercing Cannon & Sniper riffle. The other weapons are the ability to go Stealth and use Heat sensitive H.U.D to track enemy and troops on the ground, disabling larger artiliery and equipment with a E.M.P (electro Magnetic Pulse) Cannon.

Thankfully Midway have gone for the approach of Gameplay over sophistication and avoided trying to create a Hellicopter Sim on a platform thats not realy designed for the Simulation style game. And in fairness, they have done a good job at creating a mix of a popular style first person shooter except in a Chopper, and the ever increasingly popular “Stealth” Elements that have ocupied the consiance of Gamers since the late 90’s boom of stealth ‘Em Up Shooters & strategy games.

The F.P.S style element of the games kicks in early with the training mode allowing you to learn the basics of the vendeta attack ‘copter including weapons & target practice including the stealth capabilites of the Hellicopters. This quickly turns into an effort to help secure the safety of your base from the Attacking terrorist forces of the UES (United Eastern States). They are the target of the Fireblade swuad and feature in every mision.

Stealth Missions require you to keep absolute no contact with the enemy and to wipe out an possible threat that may discover you or compromise the special forces grounds troops you may be proecting. Use of the E.M.P & Sniper Cannon are a real skill that needs to be mastered.

The missions take on the role of Pro-active & Re-active assaults varying accross 4 Campaigns of differing terrain across the globe.

In brief, Fireblade is a good game, the in game graphics especialy are delghtfully rendered if slightly simple at times but it is slightly floored. The enemy need more AI to make this a more challenging game. The misssions can be slightly repetetive and on occasions frustratingly hard due to the verying inconsistant difficulty levels. The voice overs from the voice talent briefing you on your missions are cheesy but help to add to the fun element of the game.

I enjoyed it. But it has a short life span. Put it on your “Maybe” list but don’t dismiss it at all. It has plenty to offer for those of you looking for a decent Hellicopter combat game.

Mimir, Fine Arts chamber music festivals favor Beethoven - Dallas Morning News

Mimir, Fine Arts chamber music festivals favor Beethoven
Dallas Morning News, TX - 2 hours ago


By SCOTT CANTRELL / The Dallas Morning News The Mimir Chamber Music Festival begins its annual concert series tonight at Texas Christian University's

David Sanchez, Cultural Survival
The language that evolves is highly articulate and Sanchez has clear points to make.

Society Of Imaginary Friends, Sadness Is A Bridge To Love
Spend some time with imaginary friends. It’s really wonderful stuff.

Run Like Hell (PS2) Customer Review: Potential….
Well the game is entertaining in places. It did have a huge billing on the time of release - and is a let down based on this.

The story line is pretty good and the graphics decent for the time. The game does not disappoint - just the hype.

Personally I would like to see RHL 2 - with the gameplay the decent plot it deserves. This could have being so much better - MAKE THE GAME WE WANT!!
Customer Review: Bad Bad Bad
Okay this game is proberly the worst game on ps2 ive seen in ages the only reason i got this game was the low price and i know low priced games are sometimes not too good but project zero was good and scary @ a low price as well. I would not buy this game if i was you! put it this the gameplay is slow and boring the movie scenes in it are daft and needed to be redone its like a 1973 B-Movie bad bad! the controls are hard to use the camra angels are bad the story line is daft and should be bined i finised this game in 1hour so where does the 30+ hours game time come into it if it where up to me i say burn it :)

Go, Girl!: Young Women Superstars of Pop Music (Avisson Young Adult Series)

Hiromi, Beyond Standard
Too much on display here is merely clever without really giving the listener space or time to savour what’s occurring.

Society Of Imaginary Friends, Sadness Is A Bridge To Love
Spend some time with imaginary friends. It’s really wonderful stuff.

Leon Jean Marie, Bent Out Of Shape
Impressive, but perhaps too un-showy for a mass audience that likes big voices and big gestures.

Shadow the Hedgehog (PS2) Shadow the Hedgehog is not necessarily the game you’d expect Sega to make after the stunning success of games such as Sonic Heroes and Sonic Mega Collection. Although it looks and plays fairly similarly to the former, albeit with only the one character at a time, it features anti-hero Shadow who instead of offing bad guys with a simple jump on their head is packing what looks suspiciously like a high calibre Desert Eagle pistol.

The image of a Sonic the Hedgehog lookalike using such a realistic piece of hardware is an oddly disturbing one and rather sours initial moments with the game. Luckily though the rest of the game reveals itself to be a more traditionally wholesome title as Shadow runs, jumps and err… shoots his way through levels.

In a nod to games such as Prince of Persia, Shadow can also manipulate time to his advantage and unleash the explosive “Chaos Blast” move. He can also make use of a variety of different vehicles including motorcycles, jeeps and alien spacecraft and pick up and use handy objects like streetlamps as weapons.

The choice of whether to turn to evil during the course of the game seems a bit out of a place for a Sonic game, although its not clear exactly how evil the game actually allows you to get. It’s not exactly GTA: Emerald City but it’s still rather odd to see such an iconic series take such an unwarranted trip to the Dark Side. — Harrison Dent

This preview is based on an incomplete version of the game; features or problems mentioned above may not appear in the finished game.
Customer Review: Shadow
This is a great game. You can use brances,guns,swords and lots more! it has Sonic and all the other teams on sonic heroes. If u want to buy a game get this one
Customer Review: Good game!
Playing as the villain from a series of video games is always fun, and Shadow is no different. With a huge selection of weapons and vehicles in the different level, you can either plough through with a machine gun, or you can race through the level on your own two feet, or in a G.U.N Walker. One of the game’s key features is the two player mode. You can play as two different coloured versions of Shadow, or one of the four robot versions, each with an attached weapon. Depending on the path you take, you can be accompanied by different characters. Only the Hero path is of any use, as you can team up with Sonic’s friends, like Tails and Espio, who can be used by a second player. Eggman’s path uses just a small robot television, which can’t really do anything. Same with the Black Arms, only in this case it’s a floating, tentacled eye. Secret vehicles and weapons can be found on each level, providing you have found the keys dotted around the location. For example, there is a fun military vehicle on the first level. Big and armoured, so you don’t take as much fire from the enemies.
One drawback is the inability to play as other characters than Shadow in the multiplayer mode.

Customer Review: Ground where only few real artists can tread
Don’t think for one minute that you can listen to this album once and appreciate its value. You just can’t. Seldom seen Kid, like the best paintings, like the most challenging of plays needs to be digested, thought about, and with complete pleasure listened to again, and again and again. The more you listen to this album, the closer you get to absorbing what Elbow have done here. They have created a masterpiece. They have created a complete other world in music which captures huge landscapes of northern life through technicolour rose tinted specs, mixed with the bleak concrete of our good northern cities seasoned with the exquisite sensitivity of Guy Garvey’s beautiful lyrics which lift these songs to an utterly different level. The bleak backdrop of his imagination only serves to clarify the vulnerability of human emotions to a level any other songwriter should weep to achieve. “You are the only thing in every room you are ever in” followed by “Is this love” in Starlings is wordsmithing to get down on your knees and pray to. In “One day like this” Guy Garvey gifts us lyrics that run through “If you think I wink I did” to “One day like this a year would see me right”. One day like this is a love song wrung out of the soul of every Northern man hiding his heart so it doesn’t leave him vulnerable. You see, what guy Garvey does is he captures situations, he captures essence, emotions, moments in words and gives us the chance to put ourselves where he was when he wrote them. In Seldom seen kid he gives us the opportunity to look in on ourselves and see. Weather to Fly combines hope, reach, belief, every damn good thing life should be about with the ever present fear of reality which sucks dreams away…..God, every song on this album had depth which would take forever to plumb, like a picture on your wall you never tire of going back to and finding something else in it. Anyone who reviews this album as less than 5 stars just hasn’t listened to it properly. It’s like a seed. Play it, water it with attention and reap its rewards.
Customer Review: If you can’t score 5 stars then don’t write here.
An absolute gem of an Elbow album, to lift you. Buy it and you’ll love it.

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.

Encyclopedia of Pop Music: Genres: Vol 3


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.

Customer Review: Pop? PULEEEZE
After the release of Around The World, I made a pact that I would buy this album and I did. I made the biggest mistake of my life (ok it wasn’t that bad). I sat down and listen to the songs which literally made no sense and some of them were carbon copies of songs which i actually like. Maybe it was the high expectations that made it sound so bad but about 95% of this album is the same old pop you hear every day in the newsagents. If you want a good Pop Album, buy a compilation CD. This CD should not be allowed to pollute other peoples hearing.
Customer Review: Excellent to drive to, not a bad track on the whole CD.
I discovered this album for the first time while travelling to Israel last winter. Two of the tracks in particular (All Around the World & My Heart Beats Like a Drum) were quite common in the bars and clubs. I made a point of buying the CD before leaving Israel and it has since earned a permanent slot on my car autochanger. The music is lively with a strong beat, great to dance to (although its not quite Ibiza-esque)and fabulous for cheering up the dreary morning commute to the office. Lyrical content doesn’t particularly inspire but then that isn’t really the point of this album. I hope the band ATC release more material soon and I would not hesitate to be first in line to buy it. For now though this has to be one of the most played CD’s in my collection. You should make it part of yours.

Ford Street Racing (PS2) Customer Review: Average
Not bad game while you’re waiting for the next in a series of good ones. Starting with an escort or fiesta working up to mustangs and lightening F150’s hardly a head turning game. Few cars and few tracks make this a weekend game, that is it only takes this long to exhaust it. A simple playable game that only needs a couple of days to finish.
Customer Review: Hmmm… reality check
I could review this in a simple sentence.
The aim of the game is to save up enough money to buy a Ford Escort.
OK a slight exaggeration but not too far from the truth.

Don’t get me wrong, this game is not awful. It just has a very short life, few tracks and few cars that are actually fantasy. If I wanted to drive a Fiesta I would go through my front door and go to my grans.

You can’t knock the realism. The cars start first time with no trouble, you can smash them up and then only cost ?500 to repair and they take 30 seconds to hit 97mph. But all this hardly whets the appitite does it?

The team game aspect is an interesting twist. Drifting, the concept of driving close behind a team-mate and reduce your drag thus enabling you to increase your speed, has been done before but not in collaboration. The problem is that you can drift your team mate while they are a small speck on your horizon. Literally 100m away. Rediculous!

Finally, lets put it this way, if your mate bought this game and you had a go you would not want to borrow it… honest!
