Notes - Day In Black & White (A)

An athlete's life in black, white and gold!

Advantages: interesting and enjoyable autobiography
Disadvantages: none!

Ever since I can remember I have loved watching athletics, especially at the major championships like the Olympic Games. There have been many strong British athletes to follow over the years and one of my favourites is Kelly Holmes who's greatest achievements came at the 2004 Athens Olympics when she won two gold medals in the 800 and 1500 metres. Black, White and Gold is her autobiography. I always prefer reading autobiographies as oppose to biographies (even if they are written with someone else) because I like reading about first hand experiences.

Review of Black, White and Gold - Kelly Holmes

Black and White

Advantages: er....
Disadvantages: hummm...

Review of Black & White (PC)

It dont matter if youre Black or White

Advantages: Good graphics
Disadvantages: Too complex

overall ruler of the gaming environment and control how the game is played by interacting with the characters on Screen. This used to involve rasing the land and causing devastation in Popluous. It meant sending huge armies into battle and casting spells with Clerics in Age of Empires With Black and White, it was different. The concept was different. In fact, the only similar game is Rebel Assault with its tactics. Why? well in Rebel Assault you have the choice of commanding the Good troops or the Evil Troops. This concept of choosing good or evil is reflected in the game "Black and White". However in Black and White, you do not control the environment but instead train a creature to perform your tasks. This is creature can either be trained in Good tasks or Evil tasks. The choice is yours. Giving you creature love and attention will ...
