Live @ Newland.NL (Remixed) - Dale Watson & His Lone Stars

Advantages: Playable, nice graphics, quests, many shops
Disadvantages: camera angels, limited to certain areas.

...Phantasy Star kept entertained over the last xmas period. It was a gift i received and was very surprise to get. You could image i steamed into this on xmas day and was pleasant surprise with its furtristic graphics but limited on the areas to travel to. But loads of little fun things to do. You take the role of a young boy whos father was a protector of the planets (Guardian) almost a bit like a UN peace officer. To his dismay he finds out his father is killed while out on a mission and now needs to help bring his sister up and try to get a job to look after her and seems to be watched over by a friend of the family who persuades the young boy to carry in his fathers foot steps as a Guardian on the universe and protect all the indangered planets.

Advantages: Its another one to add to the collection and is a nice collection of B-Side songs.

The first, Soul to Squeeze is featured on the (Pretty poor in my opinion) film Coneheads... Read review

... 'Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day' Winifred Watson I do hope that by reviewing this wonderful little book I introduce at least a few of you to the pleasure of reading the 250 pages in the book. ?Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day? reads like a fairy story, it is like a modernised version of Cinderella, when I say modernised I am referring to the 1930?s. Really finding this book for me was like finding hidden treasure. The book had been published in 1938 and then seemed to disappear. When Persephone Books was looking for title suggestions, Henrietta Twycross-Martin took in her mother's battered copy to the London office and the book was reprinted in 2000. Persephone concentrates in forgotten classics - "mainly neglected fiction and non-fiction by women, for women and about women." In 2008 a film based on the book... Read review
