Advantages: Cheap Prices Disadvantages: Delivery times can be slow
Play.com was recommended to me a few years ago as a place which sells DVDs, CDs and games at reasonable prices. I have not looked back. Pretty much all of the aforementioned products I have bought in the last two years has been from play.com. Their products are normally the cheapest by miles. This has something to do with their location and the amount of tax payable etc, something which I neither understand or, at these prices, care about.
Having ordered at least 40 items from play I've never had any problems with them. Delivery takes a few days but its well worth the wait. The website is easy to navigate. They have a wide-range of stock and its very rare for an item to be out of stock. They have also recently started an amazon-esque section where users can sell their items. I have yet to use this service so cannot review that.

Advantages: Plenty of levels, variety of levels, humour and voice acting well done Disadvantages: Boring music, somewhat restrictive camera
*A review of Disney's The Emperor's New Groove for PlayStation.*
I've not seen the film but from the video clips featured, the game appears to stick to the film fairly closely, starting out in the village where Kuzco is discovered by good guy Pacha, then following the journey in which the Emperor seeks to find a way back to his palace.
Disney's The Emperor's New Groove is said to also feature songs from the film, but the South American style music here is bland and for sure takes a back seat to the action. The only sting found in the game comes from that of the scorpion enemies which appear on some of the stages (!). The voice cast from the film is present however, and the humour - in particular the self-referential - is well-realised though the voice samples for Kuzco's actions can grate after a while.
Graphically, the level ...
Advantages: Keeps baby very entertained and safe Disadvantages: Is a bit cumbersome and awkward to 'flatpack'
pressing. In music mode each key plays a different style of music with a very slightly grating voice saying salsa, cha cha, jazz, tango or swing thus introducing baby to a variety of musical styles form an early age.
In 'education' mode the keys introduce numbers with that voice counting out loud. The part I was most impressed with about this was the fact that it only counted up to the number of the key pressed - for example if you pressed 3 it would say "3 - 1, 2, 3". -allowing you the opportunity to teach your baby through play. Many other units I have seen simply count all the numbers no matter which numbered button you press. In both modes the keys light up encouraging baby even more.
And finally....
The record player:
This is the part I love most (how sad am I lol) as you can literally 'spin the decks'. It consists of a record ...
