Lost - The Complete Fourth Season [Blu-ray] [2008] review

Posted : 9 months, 4 weeks ago on 26 January 2009 08:43 (A review of Lost - The Complete Fourth Season [Blu-ray] [2008])

The quality of this is absolutely stunning! Lost is most definitely a show that you want to watch in blu-ray. I could see every little detail, right down to beads of sweat on Sawyer's face! They're are some blu-ray only features too, nothing too spectacular, but interesting none the less.

Film Noir Collection review

Fantastic box set, featuring some of the best noir films (The Glass Key being a particular favourite of mine). Great value for money and a must have for every noir fan!

Dark Knight review

Posted : 11 months, 2 weeks ago on 11 December 2008 09:33 (A review of Dark Knight)

The picture quality from this is absolutely stunning. The scenes that were shown in IMAX fill up the entire TV screen! I really think this is the best film to show blu-ray quality at it's best. A must see!

30 Rock - Season 1 - Complete [DVD] [2006] review

Posted : 1 year ago on 6 November 2008 10:48 (A review of 30 Rock - Season 1 - Complete [DVD] [2006])

Fantastic show and hilariously funny. Shame it doesn't get very good or much recognition here in the UK (I think it's aired on Channel 5 or 5 US).

Bought the DVD for £9.99 at HMV. Bargain or what! Shame there are no special features. Would love to have seen a gag reel or deleted scenes.

Tina Fey is amazing!

The Office: Season Four review

Posted : 1 year, 1 month ago on 12 October 2008 09:41 (A review of The Office: Season Four)

The Office is one of the funniest TV shows on TV right now, or ever, even.

Although season 4 is shorter because of the writers strike affecting it, the double length episodes at the start of the season and the hilarious special features (especially the gag reel) more than make up for that.

I was lucky enough to purchase the Best Buy exclusive set of the DVD which includes the 'Fun Run Kit' (t-shirt, water bottle and wrist band).

All copies of the DVD no matter where purchased come with a free 'Dinner Party' script.

The Simpsons - The Complete Eleventh Season (Collectible Krusty Head Pack) review

Posted : 1 year, 1 month ago on 12 October 2008 08:59 (A review of The Simpsons - The Complete Eleventh Season (Collectible Krusty Head Pack))

I purchased the 'Krusty Head' version of the DVD because I have all the other Simpson heads from the previous seasons. Okay, so it doesn't sit on my DVD shelf perfectly, but it's different and far more interesting than your ordinary DVD box.

One thing that annoys me about the design of this box set is the way in which the DVD discs are stored. They're placed inside a cardboard, fold out sleeve type thing. The discs can either be difficult to get out or they simply fall out if you place the sleeve in the box the wrong way. What was wrong with the way the other seasons disc storage are designed!

Standoff review

Posted : 2 years, 2 months ago on 18 September 2007 07:16 (A review of Standoff)

I'm really annoyed Fox cancelled this show. It's a fantastic show and had excellent potential for being even better. I hope at least there will be a DVD release for it.

Very Addictive!

Posted : 2 years, 2 months ago on 18 September 2007 07:11 (A review of Zoo Tycoon DS)

From what I can remember of the PC version of this game, this works in pretty much the same way.

It's very addictive. I find myself shutting the game down only wanting to start it up again right away!

You can play in two ways - free-form or tutorial/scenario.

The freeform game lets you do what you want with your Zoo, choosing your own basic land (the smaller the land, the easier the game play) and you can choose the difficulty level (the more difficult you choose, the less money you start out with). You start out with being able to buy a few different animals and objects. The more time goes on and the more popular your Zoo becomes, the more animals/objects you can buy.

The tutorial game play basically lets you get the hang of the game for example, how to make animals happy, setting you up for playing the free-form version.

Overall, a very enjoyable, easy to play (and addictive!) game.
