48 Original Tracks - Tino Rossi

Advantages: Loads of events to master, great graphics and great fun
Disadvantages: Some of the games are a bit hard to master, possibility of ruining the touch screen

...I remember playing International Track and Field back in 1999 on the original Sony Playstation. Playing this in single player mode was boring it was a game to be played with mates and we used to enjoy nothing more than going head to head across the wide range of athletics events available from the 100m sprint to the hammer throw. I remember the abuse the control pads took whilst playing this game. Frantic button bashing was required for every single event, with the 100m, 400m and swimming events giving the control pad the most abuse. Through trial and error we learnt that rather than bash the buttons separately if you put a scarf or old t-shirt over your knuckles and scrapped it across the buttons you could get your character to run faster of throw further. June 2008 saw International Track and Field launched on the Nintendo DS... Read review

Advantages: Eddie Murphy
Disadvantages: Limited comedy, not a great storyline

...get Reggie out of prison if he helps him, however the two quickly clash and things are going to be more difficult than they expected to bring these cold blooded killers to justice. 48 Hours is something that has recently been doing it?s rounds on the Sky Movies channels and I decided to watch it on the recommendation of my Dad after hearing how much he enjoyed it, we tend to have very similar tastes in films so I was expecting to thoroughly enjoy this. Being a big fan of Eddie Murphy is something that made me want to see this even more. Nick Nolte is someone that I?m not too familiar with, I vaguely remember seeing his name in the credits of Cape Fear as he looked very different but other than that I haven?t seen him in anything else. After his performance in this film I?m not particularly interested in seeing him anything else again... Read review

Advantages: Never a Dull Moment When The Doctor's In The House
Disadvantages: I'm Breathless Keeping Up With Rossi's Achievements

...Doohan, who is himself a Rossi fan (who isn?t?). Rossi, as we know, was a Karting champion and has expressed an interest in car racing. This means we have to compare him with the phenomenal John Surtees, the only man to win world championships on two wheels and four. Surtees won early on in his Formula 1 career but almost managed a second place in 1960 when he won the 500 World Championship. Can Rossi win on four wheels? Well, if we compare him with Surtees, then, I think he can. Surtees? first brush with racing was as a sidecar passenger for his father and he therefore cut his teeth on two-track vehicles, just like Rossi. I know from personal experience (I began by racing sidecars) that multi-track vehicle exponents can pick up two-wheeled racing much easier than those going the other way ? look at the problems Hailwood had (yes, I know...
