Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
It's not a bit of kit you need. But it makes a the games a bit more relistic and a bit more fun. I can not manage what my wii racing life would be like without my wheel. It is very well made and feels good. I know it's not for everyone, some perfer the traditional contollers but I think it makes the games like Mario Kart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Future Echo's of greatness, Sep 1 2010
This review is from: Red Dwarf: Series 1 (DVD)
This is a really good series and starts of with a laugh on the 1st line, of the 1st episode, of the 1st series, which is a start of things to come. It's still trying to find it's footing in a few episodes but it's still a laugh a minute. Hollies hologram S.O.S. at the start to each episode is great and is really missed in later series. The extra's are also really good on this DVD which you can't say in many. You will be laughing all the way through this and there are some really amazing lines and jokes. Well worth having.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I didn't have this book when I was a boy", Sep 1 2010
"I didn't have this book when I was a boy" That quote from the book is very true. But that isn't a bad thing about this book, because this book either remind's off things you did as a child or tells you things you should have done or learnt. It's the perfect book of information and the only book you will ever need.
With this book you can find out so much information and do so much from it. You can either read for the information or re-live your childhood with the bits on knots, games and go-karts.You can even give it to your children (if you have any) for an easy to work things out, guide (think of my starting sentance when I say this). If not you can join in with your children and relive your childhood with them.
It's a great thing and as I quoted "I didn't have this book when I was a boy"

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, Sep 1 2010
This review is from: Gladiator (2 Discs) (DVD)
Brilliant film. Well written (apart from some of the historical error's, but it is hollywood), well acted and brilliant effects. The story really gets you involved and makes you associate with the characters. Dispite a few minor error's in the history the rest is very accute (eg the brutalness and the slave trade) and makes you want to know more about Roman History and makes history enjoyable. You will enjoy every moment of this and go through every emotion.
It is an amazing film a must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than life, Sep 1 2010
This review is from: Red Dwarf: Series 2 (DVD)
It's one of the classics a combination of the best bits of the Classic 1st series and the Brilliant 5th series. If its not the best series it's one of the best. The characters are brilliant and at there best and it is worth having a laugh at the 1st ever Kryton, he's not as funny as there one we all know and love but he is still funny and his head is great. The DVD extra's are also very good
Brilliant series from a brilliant programme

5.0 out of 5 stars Best game on the wii, Sep 1 2010
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is what the wii is made for. Lots of tracks new and old and lots of challenges (online and offline) to keep you occupied. With the wheel it makes really fun but if your an old fashioned gamer you can still use a "normal" controller. You can never get board with this with all the different challenges (normal races, time trials etc), and with lots and lots of things to unlock from the easy to the difficult it keeps occupied for hours and thats before you get to the online gaming.
Like the offline game you roughly the same challenges but I think racing against online racers makes this game its more fun and you have racers of all abilitys on there.
So if you got the wii this is a must have and you wont be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, Sep 1 2010
It gives you a a good insight into the SAS's misson's in Iraq durin the Gulf War (the 1st). It's a very exiting book and gives you a full range of what the SAS where up to. Apart from being a great story it's also well written by Cameron Spence. If your into military books especally special service books this is a must have. Very exciting story and true which is also good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable, Aug 31 2010
This review is from: Eye to the Telescope (Audio CD)
Briliant album, it might sound like a bit country but that makes this amazing. KT Tunstell has an amazing voice and the music is amazing to listen to. The album has a nice accoustic sound to it. The album is brilliant to listen to it, a must buy for any proper music fan this is a must buy.
