Hot Latin Nights - Edmundo Ros

Advantages: Plenty too do, customising your cars
Disadvantages: Poor loading times

...Juiced 2: hot import nights When I heard about this game being released i was looking forward to another brilliant racing car game. But once you've played it you realise that is doesnt have the same feel to it as your other great racing games like pgr and forza motorsports. The game has great ideas with racing in diffrent cities like London, Rome and Sydney, with night racing and plenty of nos. But when your driving it seems like the cars acceleratring slow and the handling is poor. I like the career mode where you have to work your way up in the ranks leagues but one of the most annoying things about this game is the loading times it takes forever to load. Theres a good race mode in last man standing where you can spook your opponents by driving close to them then a meter fills and it puts pressure on them and they... Read review

Advantages: Sonic bliss from Iceland's best export
Disadvantages: Should eight tracks cover 72 minutes?

...With a breakthrough album in Ágætis Byrjun under their belt, Sigur Rós set about their third album, ( ), at their newly converted swimming pool studio in Mosfellsbær.

The album is split in two halves by a 30 second pause; the first half comprises the 'light and optimistic' songs whilst the second is the bleaker side, though both halves sound chilly. None of the tracks have titles: Sigur Rós wanted the listeners to create their own titles based on their own interpretations. The following are taken from the unofficial Sigur Rós website, Eighteen Seconds Before Sunrise: "We... Read review

Advantages: 8 beautifully crafted tracks, emotionally moving
Disadvantages: None at all

...What an intriguing, engrossing, delightful set of songs. As Sigur Ros slip more and more in to the musical mainstream, it often pays to look at the back catalogue to see the true roots of a band. With Sigur Ros, this is less a good idea and more a necessity. Whatever you want to call it (The Brackets album, The Untitled Album, or simply '( )'), this album is utterly sublime. I've often listened to this thinking that no words could describe the music and subsequent moods and emotions it generates, which is not so good when reviewing the album! But I'll give it a go. '( )', as I shall refer to it from now on, is more an experience than just a set of tracks. From what I've heard by them, it is the best album Sigur Ros have produced. Twice the album 'Takk' is anyway. At 8 tracks, it falls short of the usual number of tracks on their... Read review
