Reviews by John E.

Super Monkey Ball on the Wii is rather awkward you use your Wii remote to move around it gets tricky. The graphics are great better then what it was like in the Gamecube version.

The Wii nunchuck should of been used in the main game it would of made it less confusing. With another add to this game there are boss stages this becomes annoying with bad camera angles which will cause you to fall over the edge.

The mini games are boring and the stupid thing is you cannot pause the game while your playing or you can reset your Wii. Even if your bored of the game you can't leave unless you finish the mini game this is the same in the main mode.

Banana Blitz though is still better then what Super Monkey Ball Adventure had to offer. The game is alright takes a while getting used to but if you want a good control system stick with the Gamecube version. Since buying this game I have only played it 2 times I wount play it again it's annoying me.

When you look at other other game from the SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis era there is one for me that shines through any game and this is it Donkey Kong Country.

The graphics of this game are brilliant for how long ago this was its amazing. Every bit of music in the game is fantastic thats another thing great about these games. Sonic The Hedgehog is a good game but not as good and addictive as Donkey Kong Country Series. The game lets you do so much like ride on rhinos, play as a dolphin and more.

Alot of people should know this game it was developed by British company Rare was then known as Rareware. I did used to own the game back on the SNES but got rid of it I missed playing this classic.

This game is 800 points on the Wii shopping channel buy this and Diddy's Kong Quest you wont be disappointed you will get your moneys worth out of them.

This game was great I still own the game just forgot where I put it. This game is fun I was ashamed to own it at first as me thinking it's a girls game it's not I like it who cares it's fun thats all that matters.

I really found it hard but addictive it has to be one of my favorite games to come on the Sega Dreamcast.

I was surprised at how good this game is very fun even if your not a fan of Tennis the game offers quite a bit of stuff to do.

This was developed by Sumo Digital a company in Sheffield, England which the game was only published by Sega.

The game has it's normal Tennis mode but also has special mini games based on Sega's games such as Space Harrier, Jet Set Radio, Space Channel 5, Sonic The Hedgehog, Chu Chu Rocket, House of the Dead, Super Monkey Ball, Virtua Cop

Each of these special mini games have different things so let me explain them yeah and you can play as anyone in the game on the stages.

Sonic The Hedgehog - This one sees you collecting rings and dodging balls with spikes.

Virtua Cop - This one you use your racket and tennis ball to knock down the bad guys.

House of the Dead - Use your racket and tennis ball to knock out the zombies.

I don't need to go on more just this is a really good game which does look impressive for the DS. All i can say now is I wish this was out on PSP.

Cooking Mama shes weird the game is all about cooking I don't see what is so good about this game if you want to cook so bad go into a real kitchen. The only good thing about the game is it's safe for kids. The game is boring nothing happens and I think its a pure waste. Cooking Mama really annoys me her voice gets on my nerves they did'nt even bother to dub it in English they just kept her voice in Japanese. As for the music it is very bad.

Here is what you do in the game crack eggs open, make a pizza so much fun yeah right. This is the first time playing cooking mama makes me glad I never bought this on my Wii. What a waste of your life if you enjoy this so bad do real cooking or if you can't learn to cook. Good job i never bought the game just using emulators to try out DS games.

I bought this DVD for £4 at ASDA a good DVD to Matt Hardy's story i bought this for mainly i wanted to hear more on the break up of him and Lita and it is here in a lot of detail so pick it up if you see it cheap.

Jeff Hardys story is about him going to TNA it is short only just under an hour then it features some pretty bad tracks of Jeff Hardy singing.

The DVD also contains the Hardy's early matches which is done with a cheap camera and the picture kind of sucks and bit hard to watch. While Matt done this DVD he was not in WWE this was done while he was released from the company which Matt goes into more detail so as i said buy it for the Matt Hardy story it's really interesting.

Armageddon 2006 had to be one of the best ppv's of 2006 every match was almost a classic well you had the divas with a boring segment and a match with Cena which i had to say was bad.

The event has it's great matches which i do include.

Inferno Match - Kane vs. MVP
A good way to start of the event though i thought it was best keeping this near to the end an interesting match. MVP really did a good job and showed how good of a wrestler he is.

WWE Tag Team Championship - 4-Way Ladder Match - Paul London & Brian Kendrick vs. William Regal & Dave Taylor vs. MNM vs. the Hardys

This match made this event and really it's mostly down to The Hardys and MNM without them this mach would of been bad. The Hardys give some very exciting action all the through the match along with MNM and Joey Mercury getting his nose broke all that blood all over. The great thing is even though Joey Mercury has to leave the match Johnny Nitro takes the match himself and he is fantastic. You know I am not a Johnny Nitro fan but if you put that guy in a ladder match he really makes it a great match which certainly makes it your moneys worth. Regal and Taylor were boring because it is not their style of match and you can tell. London and Kendrick i hate this team but they did a decent job but should of not won. The Hardy's should of won they were the real wrestlers during this match. But trust me Joey Mercury close up on his face is quite disturbing it is one of the most shocking pieces of footage I have seen in WWE history.

Last Ride Match - Undertaker vs. Mr. Kennedy

I am a Ken Kennedy fan because of his entertainment and this guy a great at wrestling. This match is good and exciting all the way through The Undertaker gets thrown of the Armageddon titantron and Kennedy getting a tombstone on the limo great stuff all the way in this match.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match - Gregory Helms vs. Jimmy Wang Yang

Not the best of matches but Jimmy Wang Yang aka Akio is a good wrestler and when you have Gregory Helms but in the match you get an even better match this one was good.

The matches I never found interesting

United States Championship Match - Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero

I don't care for this match i like hardcore mostly just this style of match is like any others. Chavo i find a bit boring and Chris Benoit well OK.

Boogeyman vs. the Miz

I like Boogeyman i find him entertaining but the Miz is an idiot and he's boring this match is over fast and you know who won i don't need to go on. But I did find it funny the Boogeyman putting worms in the Miz moth disgusting but funny.

Naughty Or Nice Lingerie Contest - Kristal vs. Layla vs. Jillian vs. Ashley

A good PPV and trash to fill up a good show a like the WWE divas but this is nothing Lingerie contest not important. This segment even gets worst even it comes to Big Dick Johnson doing a dance well this sucks and it's sick. If you want a diva that can wrestle look at Trish Stratus or Lita the best 2 WWE divas who were in WWE shame they left, because the diva division sucks all it's about is eye candy.

Batista & John Cena vs. King Booker & Finlay

Boring match which is not important why this was the main event i will never know. I don't even want to go into detail with it.

Special Feature

1st Inferno Match - Unforgiven 1998 - Undertaker vs. Kane

This match is good but i have this on previous DVD's but nice to have a again. This is the best Inferno match there is I don't even want to explain it because any WWE fan should of seen this.

Thats all your extras on this DVD non others and why i don't know i would of liked to have seen some interviews and what happened with MVP that would of been good to see an update after MVP been set on fire. What about the aftermath of Joey Murcury after getting the ladder right in his nose.

Well why did WWE have to make this event so good well after the fail of ECW December to Mismember they had to. Overall WWE Armageddon 2006 is the best event Smackdown has to offer believe that it's true which makes it in my opinion the best event of the year which needs to be in your DVD collection.

Skins Series 2 is a lot more serious then Series 1 but this is just as good with a few shocks put into the series and ome sad moments.

My favorite episode is the one with Sid because it was interesting and a bit shocking it's because Mike Bailey is a great actor he plays Sid. Tony's episode is good one also. There is sadness in Jal's episode but this one is brilliant one of the best in the series. The last episode sees the final of the Skins cast as a new one will replace them. Cassie episode which is on disc 3 is a really sad one but overall great acting from all the cast Chris just makes it a sad one check that one out and you will know what i mean.

The DVD features great extras such as Skins in New York, The Skins Secret party, Interviews which are all good extras.

This is worth buying this 3 disc DVD this is classic TV and British TV at it's very best.

No More Heroes is a great game even though this game is censored and has no blood annoying very much. This game though is still awesome it has cool fights, you can do jobs such as lawn mowing, collecting coconuts, collecting garbage and the Wii controls make this fun. You get this cool light saver to kill your enemies. You can drive around on your bike.

This is a great game a classic Wii title even though it is censored with no blood don't be put off buy it, its weird, crazy and funny also entertaining. The fighting is known to be faster in this version due to the blood missing.
By the way if people never knew this Ubisoft own Rising Star games just to let people know. I found it annoying how people were complaining to Rising Star Games they gave us the Japanese version which is the original i would be happy about it as quite a few Japanese games never make it out of the country.

I would of liked to have seen blood but deal with it and if people of such a bit problem with it buy a freeloader and import it, but me i don't care i am pretty much happy with what i have this version as i said is still great.
Last thing i have to laugh when Travis says bloodbath no blood its just black dust that comes out. I want a No More Heroes 2 great game for the Wii any owner over 16 should get it but beware this does contain a lot of bad language.

This has to be one of the best shows I've ever seen makes me proud to be from england. This show is all about 12 comedians which do stupid stuff to win the balls of steel award 6 take part each week. Mark Dolan presents this show giving us jokes along the way.

The acts are Alex Zane and his unfair gameshows, The Pain Men taking different stunt such as hitting a nail in there hand or a sander on there bum pretty painfully, worlds worst who was in series 1 he did such things as be a london cabbie and a barman, Annoying Devil set out to make peoples life a living hell, Big Gay Following who will go up to men and say you fancy a bum, Neg and his urban sports running from security guards and then he does the rodeo jumping on peoples back then there was knock the door don't run getting people mad, Toju the Militant Black Guy who will see words such as black pudding, raccoon etc as racial slurs, The Bunny Boiler who likes to hit on other womens men to get there reaction, Prank TV this is pranking people in different ways.

Coming to series 2 was Johnathan Goodwin attempts dangerous escapes with his father, the f**kers who will do sex anywhere in a bar in front of people in a car show room, Mr Inappropriate who teaches students swearing etc and doing rude stuff in public places.

Series 3 had The Nob Jockey a jockey who does not ride on horses but on people, The B***ard in Black a football ref who gets everything wrong, Scummy Mummy a mother who has a child or baby such as seeing a rection of a guy at a tattoo place of a baby getting a tattoo of cause he doesnt let this happen on top of that Scummy Mummy has a foul mouth.

This is one of the most criticized programs on tv one of them been tom cruise getting squirted in the face with water in the fake microphone the producer done this stunt on him and he spent the night in jail. They done the same stunt on Sharon Osborne but she got her own back as she picked up a bucket of water and shot it right at the camera.

Now Channel 4 have brought out the Balls Of Steel DVD showing all of Series 1 you can see all of those classic moments over and over again its worth buying. If you have never seen this check it out you can see this on youtube or if you have channel 4 you can watch it there. The dvd is also out now so check it out
