I wanted to like this zombie shoot em up, i even have played RE1 on the PS1.
The zombis are too easy to kill and the bosses at the end og the game are impossible, which ruins the games.
note to game makers, if the user selects amateur, it should not take the amateur user 20 attempts and reference to the internet to complete the game.
this game is similar to gears of war but much worse...
it's old and rubbish, and living out the RE brand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just a great film., 24 Dec 2012
This review is from: Skyfall [DVD] (DVD)
Directed by Sam Mendes it looks beautiful, it has terrific action parts of the film, great humour and classic bond touches which are unmistakable. Massive box office taking at the cinema, now own it on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Documentary style genius, 3 Nov 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
REC is the original spanish version of the english remake called Quarantine. REC is the best, REC 3 is quite good, but nothing beats the 85 minute adrealine packed first film. It is shot is the handy cam style of Cloverfield and Chronicle, it is in Spanish but there is very little dialogue after 20-30 minutes and there are lots of thrills.
Is it fantastic.
Not as good as Sinister (2012) but almost.

5.0 out of 5 stars God like trilogy, 3 Nov 2012
Blue Planet, best and only complete series of the rivers, seas and oceans.
Planet Earth, high water mark of BBC nature programmes.
Frozen Planet, continues where planet earth left off with 6 episodes on polar regions with a 7th climate change last episode (that they did not show/air in the USA because it may upset the ostrichs with their head in the sand in texas and other dumb american states)

Excellent value for money
Great introduction to the BBC nature programming from 2000-2011.

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars

This has excellent graphics, but does have one bald person who is always staring at you as you drive out of the pits, it is weird. Comments??
Apart from that, you can play single race on any team, or go into career mode, but you must drive for HRT, Lotus or Virgin in the first of 7 seasons. You must race/drive 20% race distance in career mode. One flaw is that rather than a logical progression up the ranks of the team HRT-Toro Rosso-Suaber-Renault-Mercedes-Red Bull.

Contracts
Career contracts are based on finishing ahead of your selected rival in the end of season points tally. I wentfrom Lotus in season 2 to McLaren in season 3. (Tip, drive with ABS off.)
Only select a rival you know you will defeat, and do not re-sign your contact and when you beat you rival, you will be offered his seat/drive for next season (if you have not renewed for your own team).

4/5 overview. Best looking F1 game ever.

2.0 out of 5 stars Run out, 29 Oct 2012
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This game is rushed and would be run out by a decent fielding team. It features repeative gameplay and visuals, too easy to get boundaries, cartoon feel and worst of all the fielding team stups the wickets even though the battesman is standing still incside the crease on every though to the battesman end.
Avoid this game, even if you get it for free and they pay you in credits to play it. I will say four more words.

BUY INTERNATIONAL CRICKET 2010.

Dead Island (Xbox 360)
Dead Island (Xbox 360)
Offered by The Game Collection
Price: £12.92

1.0 out of 5 stars Untested, broken and unplayable., 28 Oct 2012
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
Play left for dead or left for dead 2 or Bioshock 1 or 2. Dead Island's side missions have 3 bugs these are, continuously regenerating enemies, not being able to pick mission items and mission characters being dead.
On Pure Blood mission, that you must finish to progress the game, the person you are escorting gets stuck so you have to kill the enemies with a car to stop the character getting stuck. Later, on the same mission, you must kill 8 enemies at once and neither you nor you friend can die and you can not move to an easier position, worst auto save point ever.
But, it has nice graphics and a great feel but I do not believe that the developers got anyone to play the game before they released it. It is the worst game I have ever played on the Xbox 360, even more bugs than red dead redemption.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent DVD, 21 Aug 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Please ignore the 1-star deniers. This is an excellent DVD, 90 minutes with David Attenborough as goes to the Met Office and locations around the world and investigates global warming effects felt today (like in the floods in Pakistan and the fires in Australia and Moscow) and what the future level of co2 concentration in the atmosphere with mean for climate around the world by 2020, 2050, 2100. Please view with an open mind. Why would someone like Sir David Attenborough be moved to make a film like this? because he knows the global warming is here today and the sooner you realise the problem, the sooner you can take action.

1.0 out of 5 stars The film that sucks., 13 May 2010
This review is from: The Boat That Rocked [DVD] (DVD)
This is the worst, most dull, boring and repeative film I have ever had the misfortune to see at the cinema. The opening is okay with people dancing round radios, but this a device that is repeated every 10 minutes throughout the film and becomes boring. Cast and plot terrible and you don't about any characters. Rock and roll element is wasted.
Go and watch Nowhere Boy for a real film with emotional feeling.
