Variations On A Master Plan - Conference Call

A great conference venue but not ideal as a hotel

Advantages: Good rooms, well organised conference facilities
Disadvantages: If you aren't there for a conference, you could feel very 'left out'.

I'm a member of an industry association that holds a two day meeting every year in spring and we move the venue around between different hotels, typically in the Midlands. Last year we were in Rugby at the Dunchurch Park which had excellent conference rooms but dreadful accommodation. This year, the organisers found a new place for us to use - Ettington Chase near Stratford upon Avon. I travelled down from the North West on the day of the conference and my sat nav had no problems finding the hotel. When I pulled off the road into the car park I found a very beautiful old building that looked like a Victorian vicarage but was completely swamped by the size of the new wing. As so often happens, the website shows lots of pictures of the old building and not so many of the rather characterless red-brick block that provides most ...

Review of Ettington Chase Hotel and Conference Centre, Stratford-upon-Avon

call of duty is average!

Advantages: good price
Disadvantages: not enough features

well the other day i purchased call of duty from sainsburys at a price of £26! which is amazing as all other major retailers range from £35-£50! anyway the game is average as the missions in my opinion are a lacking something and the multiplayer doesn't have many gun sets. the maps look similar to those in other cod games and the online doesn't take my fancy unlike world at war and modern warfare 1 the graphics are of good quality but for extremely good graphics turn to the ps3 the make your own class is a nice touch but needs some good features such as pimp your gun as in army of two on ps3 overall i give call of duty modern warfare 2, 6 out of 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's a decent buy but there are better games out there! ...

Review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360)

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Advantages: online multiplayer
Disadvantages: it has a relativly short campaign

this game is the best 1st person shooter ive ever played on,its very addictive due to the game being having such good gameplay which really keeps you stuck to the screen. The campaign has many more features which are incredibly cool. The same characters as Call of Duty 4 gives the gamer a close relationship with the character as you think you know them. One of the best features of this game is defiantly the online multiplaye. Its even more addictive than call of duty 4 and 5. there are so many new features in the new multiplayer including kill streaks and death streaks, which are brilliant .This game is for all online gamers from 'noobs' to 'pros', and its defiantly worth getting this christmas ...
