Advantages: Excellent follow up to series 1
Disadvantages: none

...There were 7 episodes of series 2 of Soldier Soldier. Hong Kong is where the boys are sent to next. First screened in 1992. A lot of old faces return this series, and several new ones as well. To recap from my first summary to explain about the characters: Tucker and Garvey, Dave and Donna, Paddy and Nancy, Tony and Joy. These are the couples that grab you right from the first series and take you through the next five series. (Series 6 and 7 were never so good once Tucker and Garvey had left). It was an excellent series and very fresh and new when it first arrived. Written by Lucy Gannon. It brought together Robson and Jerome (who can failed to have missed their hit single Unchained Melody!). Dave Tucker played by Robson Greene, Donna Tucker played by Rosie Rowell Paddy Garvey played by Jerome Flynn Nancy... Read review

...I love Soldier Solder, I have all 7 series on video and am now converting them to DVD as they come out. So far, series 1, 2 and 3 have been released, with Series 4 being released in June 2005. (See my other reviews for Series 2 and 3). Tucker and Garvey, Dave and Donna, Paddy and Nancy, Tony and Joy. These are the couples that grabe you right from the first episode and take you through the next five series. (Series 6 and 7 were never so good once Tucker and Garvey had left). It was an excellent series and very fresh and new when it first arrived. Written by Lucy Gannon. It brought together Robson and Jerome (who can failed to have missed their hit single Unchained Melody!). The series starts out with the men returning from Northern Ireland, desperate to see their women. Dave Tucker is married to the "lovely... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, 16 fairly large levels, fair two-player mode, undemanding blasting
Disadvantages: Too simple, repetitive, looks naff, annoying on-rails camera, no aiming-system, horrendous slow-down, streets behind the competition

...Play Magazine awarded it a whopping 10%, whilst The Official UK PlayStation Magazine was only slightly more generous with its 2/10 scoreline. So is Omega Solider really as bad as they say? The Army Men series built itself something of an infamous reputation in the latter days of the PSOne for its seemingly-relentless assault on the format. 3DO, its publisher, took it upon themselves to churn out a ridiculous number not-so-well-received shoot ‘em ups in a very short duratinon of time – this being one of them. First released in 2001 as budget title, Army Men: Omega Soldier (AM:OS) is a third-person shoot ‘em up featuring the popular green plastic soldier toys, which entails running northwards through a variety of war-inspired locations (beaches, forests, army bases, mountain passes) blasting all that stands before you. It’s certainly... Read review

Advantages: Action Packed, Funny, Exciting and Tense
Disadvantages: Werewolf's weren't 100%, but nothing really.

...I’m sure many of you will have different opinions; nevertheless I have to say before Dog Soldiers, I had never seen a werewolf movie I really enjoyed: ‘Ginger Snaps’ didn’t do it for me, I thought ‘Brotherhood of the Wolf’ wasn’t great and I noticed the age in ‘An American Werewolf in London/Paris’. I first saw Dog Soldiers round a friends mid Last year, the very next week I brought it for myself on DVD. It is simply brilliant, best described as addictive and it is one of those films you can watch over and over again, still getting the same amount of excitement you received from the first time you watched it! Dog Soldiers is classed as an action-horror, but I believe a wide – ranged audience can enjoy it. It is a fun film, filled with dark comedy, classy worth –... Read review

Advantages: A detailed personal account, extremely readable.
Disadvantages: Minor vagueness in parts, Very graphic in its bloody nature.

...I tend to avoid military biographies and doubly so if they cannot be corroborated for authenticity. "The Forgotten Soldier" is one of these books.
