David Oistrakh Collection, Volume 2

Advantages: all the hits and classics
Disadvantages: stops at 1987 and some excellent album tracks are missing

...Three Cds of the best of Bowie from 1969 through to 1987. Astonishingly good value for money and a very good overview of the period. Of course fans will debate whether of not these songs truly are the Best, but as an introduction for the newcomer, or as a handy round up of the singles for the fan (and many of the single edits are different from the album versions) you can't really go wrong with this set. The pacaking is minimal, and the slightly odd non chronological order doesn't work for me, but the individual tracks are all good and showcase the sheer breadth of talent that Bowie has. From the stright ahead rock of "The Jean Genie" to the shimmering funk of "Golden Years" to the European iciness of "Sound And Vision" to the glorious dance pop of "Let's Dance" and so much more, this is probably the best introduction to David Bowie...

Advantages: Loads of classic games at a ridiculous price
Disadvantages: Missing a couple of gems

...Ah, now this is what you need. You like Sonic? You should get this. You don't know Sonic? You should get this. It's a selection of choice cuts from Sonic's early days, and considering the budget price, it's quite the deal. These are the games included on the disc: - Sonic The Hedgehog - The game that started it all (10 points for anyone playing Spot The Cliché), Sonic is the least advanced game on this disc but it's still worth a play. Let's face it, it probably won't turn the heads of anyone who grew up on Crash Bandicoot and that dragon thing, but for anyone looking for a retro fix, this is for you. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - My personal favourite, mainly because it came with Mega Drive and was therefore a game I worked to death (couldn't afford anything else!). This game introduced Tails to the mix, who the second player can take... Read review
