Book arrived today, was very well packed and was in very good condition, the price was also very good for such a rare item so I can only recommend the seller, also they let me know of a possible delay which would not have been a problem for me anyway but was a nice touch.

PS3 GAME BURNOUT PARADISE THE ULTIMATE BOX REVIEW
The game was developed by Criterion Games (who have also made some of the later Need for Speed series) Although the game was released in 2009 it has stood the test of time well and is still highly playable. In Paradise City there are 75 cars in the game to unlock and drive. New cars unlocked are found at one of the Junkyards and are battered wrecks until you fix them up in one of the auto repair drive-thru's. The cars are split into 3 catagories: Stunt Class,Speed Class and Aggression Class. With Speed Class cars you can chain your Burnout's together until you run out of boost or crash. You even have the chance to even drive a cop car (Hunter Citizen) in this game complete with flashing lights and sirens! Our favourite car is the Watson 25 V16 Revenge as it looks stunning and sounds like a Formula one car! The car crashes are spectacular and sometimes make you winch and your toes curl as they are so realistic! I won't say to much about the cars as I don't want to spoil any surprises later on in the game. The events are: Race (Get from A to B) Stunt Run (Do spins,barrel rolls etc to gain the most points) Marked Man (Get from A to B while being chased and being taken down by aggressive black car racers) Road Rage (Smash as many cars as you can off the road) Burning Route (Get from A to B and beat your rival to win an upgraded version of that car) This is my most played racing game and my girlfriend and I are on our 4th play through the game. The Ultimate Box Edition has day and night cycles and weather effects including fog! There are 400 smashes (yellow gates) to find and 120 billboards (red) and both of these glow in the Ultimate Box Edition making them much easier to spot. In addition there are 50 jumps to find and complete. There are 64 Showtime events (press L1 + R1 together) which see you bouncing along the road trying to crash into as many vehicles as possible aiming for the highest score and causing as much mayhem as you can! Eagle eyed Burnout fans will spot a car in this game from Burnout 2 Point of Impact (on the PS2) which is the Kitano Hydros Techno. Not only can you drive cars but you can also drive and race one of 4 bikes. I have to say that Burnout Paradise The Ultimate Box is the best racing game I have played on the PS3 and is much better than any of the Need For Speed Series (including the most recent NFS Most Wanted). The handling of the cars is so precise enabling you to squeeze through the smallest of gaps between cars. It really is a joy to play with loads to do and the only downside is that a green line marker frrom one destination to another would have been nice but this is really only a very minor niggle. I would highly recommend this game to everyone and this is my favourite racing game of my last 30+ years of gaming! I would rate this game 5 out of 5. Give it a go and you won't be disappointed (or even try the standard version of Burnout Paradise which is a bit cheaper). I hope that you have found this review useful and please don't forget to vote as it is free to do so and only takes a moment. The more votes I receive the more inclined I am to spend my valuable free time writing more eBay Guides and Reviews for you. Many thanks.

PS3 Gran Turismo 6 Game Review (My advice is to buy GT5 instead!)
Gran Turismo 6 is here at last but is it worth buying? You may want to read this review before deciding whether to or not. Yes there are loads of cars (over 1200) but there are alot that are basically the same car but with different colours or liveries. The game is way too easy if you compare it directly to GT5. There are now only 5 events for each licence and you only win a car if you get golds on all 5 events on each licence. On GT5 you won a car for getting all bronze, another car for all silvers and another car for all golds but then there were 10 events to complete per licence. It only takes a few try's to get a gold on most licence events (up to the IB licence and then it gets alot harder). The graphics of the backgrounds are much improved and the Matterhorn Rotenboden Race Circuit is jaw dropping with the mountains in the background looking so realistic! The Goodwood Hill Climb is a nice little touch and can be tricky to complete in some cars as you can't go off the road or bump into anything otherwise you fail the event! The Goodwood Festival of Speed 5-3 in the Red Bull X2010 Prototype is the hardest of these events and the car has 1479 horsepower and a top speed of 311 mph! So far I haven't won the gold for that event and the car accelerates like no other car on earth! I have only been playing the game for about a week (29.7 hours) but have already completed over 74% of the game. I feel sorry for those who paid the full price for this game when it was first released as to be honest it wouldn't have been good value for money at that price. Music wise it seems to get worse with each new Gran Turismo and GT6 has no decent tunes to drive to. I do like the way the menu system is set out and it is much easier to navigate around than previous Gran Turismo's. Most events can only be entered by cars that are under the PP (Performance Points) limit. It is easy enough to get your car just under the limit by taking off performance parts (ie turbo's, racing exhaust etc) plus you can also limit the power of the engine which is a very useful tool. I haven't unlocked the 'S' class licence yet but so far most races are usually between just 3 and 5 laps! I am hoping that there are some long endurance races and I will be disappointed if there isn't any. It will take you ages to get enough credits to buy alot of the cars as with all Gran Turismo games but I haven't found any fairly high yielding events yet (50,000 credits or more). There are additional events to play online but they aren't any use to me as I don't use my PS3 online. Other offline events are Mission Races (you do win a car for getting all gold on these too) and Coffee Breaks where for example you have to knock down 300 traffic cones in under a certain time. There are also some Lunar Events where you get to drive a Moon Buggy on the moon but this is mostly a novelty and you can't exactly call it racing when your top speed is only a snails pace! Overall I feel a bit let down with GT6 and I would rather have had more gameplay than better graphics (and longer races too!). If you are looking for a decent PS3 racing game then either buy GT5 (will keep you playing for months) or Burnout Paradise The Ultimate Box or Blur or Wipeout Hd Fury. I would still recomend buying this game but consider the other games that I have mentioned first and buy GT6 cheap second hand off eBay. I rate this game 4 out of 5 and hopefully GT7 on the PS4 will be much better!

Frequency for Sony PlayStation 2
This is the prequel to the fantastic PS2 game 'Amplitude' and is basically Guitar Hero without the Guitar. The games were made by the same team (Harmonix) You play the game using three of the shoulder buttons to hit the beats as you move along the track. Once you have mastered a section of the track you have to move left or right to master the next section. The game is played in a tunnel so you don't end up missing the beats when moving from section to section. I preferred playing this game to Amplitude but both are brilliant games. Both of these games are in my top 10 favourite PS2 games of all time and have some fantastic tunes. Highly addictive and has that 'just one more go' factor. I hope that you have found this review useful and please don't forget to vote as it is free to do so and only takes a moment. The more votes I receive the more inclined I am to spend my valuable free time writing more eBay Guides and Reviews for you. Many thanks.
