F1 Legends Of The 1950s (DVD)

Advantages: improved from the other one
Disadvantages: 3 years later and there still isnt another

...While this game is really good, i cant help thinking how much more they could have done with it. There has only been two games for the psp one in 2005 and then 2006, and thats where it all stopped. There was alittle trouble with the licencing agreements and now they have bene bought by codemasters. New f1 games have been worked on in 2008 and there expected to come put somtime in 2009, 3 years after the previous f1 release on the psp. This game however is still really good even though its quite old. The graphics are great and there are so much more improvements than the 2005 one. There is now the full 3 rounds of qualifying and the ability to tweek your car a little to get the best times and to get you on pole position. Making it harder to win now is also the random events. this means that a car could crash straight in front... Read review

You could say this an exciting film, and it certainly would have been very intense in a cinema so long ago, but compared to today's explosion-fests, it appears quite tame. That is not to belittle the film though, as it is a very enjoyable watch. The director uses various tools to create a tense atmosphere, such as a good... Read review

...the students nearby. Just when the students think this is all a myth they start being killed off one by one in the most grotesque manners which were once thought to only be urban legends? until now. Urban Legend is a teen slasher film that was released around the time of films like Scream and I know What You Did Last Summer, these have now become classic teen horrors however Urban Legend somehow managed to slip under the radar and I had never even heard of it until a few weeks ago when it was showing on Sky Movies. The reason that this film gradually faded into obscurity is because there?s nothing original about it, it?s almost as if it tries too hard with the plotline. Teenagers aren?t going to be familiar with urban legends that are hundreds of years old therefore in a way they?re alienating their core audience. Sometimes complicated films... Read review
