Hooked On Classics - The Ultimate Collection - Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (The)

Advantages: Large variety of music
Disadvantages: none

...the total running time is, but there is a track for everyone on this album. I find it particularly useful as most classical music I had heard was rather girly and romantic, but this has many classics that are loud, exciting and interesting for the boys in my class to listen to. The set includes music by artists such as Bach, Handel, Beethoven, Holst, Elgar, Massenet, Verdi, Vivaldi, Ravel, John Barry, and Hans Zimmer, along with many others (too many tracks to list them all here). The 5th album includes music from films such as Star Wars, POTC, Ladies in Lavender, Romeo and Juliet and Out of Africa. For full track listings this product can be found on the Zavvi website or HMW website and tracks are all listed. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys classical music as it is a great collection of several different types altogether... Read review

Advantages: 39 genuinely great songs
Disadvantages: doesnt include latest album

...the who - ultimate collection is a double CD greatest hits album for British rock band the who. contained here are 39 tracks a very high and consistent quality. all the recognisable songs are here including 'my generation', 'wont get fooled again' and 'pinball wizard'. the songwriting largely by pete townshend errs towards a narrative style. townshend unique guitar style is great throughout and the high quality musicianship really is a constant in this collection. keith moon is at his energetic best. john entwistle thumps the bass and roger daltry finds a voice for every song. the inlay includes a detailed band biography along with lots of excellent photos. unfortunately this album was published before the whos most recent album endless wire, so there may be a couple of songs missing from your ideal who collection. overall this is...

Advantages: Lots of different games, well presented
Disadvantages: Limited graphics and sound, could do with using both screens when playing

...This review is for the Nintendo DS game, Solitaire Ultimate Collection, developed and published by Koch Media. The game consists of a wide range of different card games which you can play on your own. There are 101 different solitaire games in this collection which are placed into various categories, so it will take you a while to work through them all. There are instructions from them all, so learning the games doesn't take too long, and tutorials are there if you need them. There are a few games however which are quite complex, so they do take a little while to understand. As you play through each game, you're able to keep statistics on your performance, which does give you an incentive to keep playing a game to improve your average score. As you would expect though, some of the games are a lot easier to win at than others... Read review
