BZZAGENT REVIEW - Benecol

All you guys might not know this but i'm an active BZZAGENT. this is where we can product test products from a company and we give our opinion on the products, However its hype free :)

picture from here

So i've been given the task of testing Benecol products. i got given some coupons for 75p off their products and also a free one for anything i wanted. i decided to use the voucher on the Light spreadable butter pack. 

Value for money i have to give it 1 of 5 because of the £3.50 price tag, however. i've been using it a few days and the food is so much more tastier and i do feel much better for using their products.

Taste has to be 4 of 5.
I believed until I tried this product I thought, urghhh butter which is healthy, this is going to be rancid. i was pleasantly surprised that the texture and the taster we in fact better!

Packaging 5 of 5. end of.

The packaging is eye catching and nice to look at, very nice colour scheme and details what the product can do to your body with correct use. 

I have 2 more vouchers so people near me can have the benefits of having 75p off any Benecol product which is scientifically proven to reduce cholesterol and reduce the change of heart disease! so a win win situation :)

Lego Star Wars 3 (Xbox 360) *REVIEW*

Finally got around to it...

Okay so you might have hazard a guess that in my last VG review I left a nice little Subtle Hint that i would be reviewing a game from the marvel that is "Lego" and the "Tt games" institute. Of course, This is the review on Lego Star Wars 3.

Prelude - Back story

So Pissed off, I rush into my local Media rental centre with Portal 2 in my grasp (As you may remember from a previous review) where i'm happily greeted to the words of "Oh your the portal guy then, Get another game of your choice and well just strait swap it!" My face was froze in shock and awe only comparable to.. well what I can only describe as a shocked "Manga" Face.

I approached the rentals wall and two games caught my eye, Lego Star Wars 3... Or... Call Of Duty Black Ops... Man how much I wanna kill those bastards Einie, Meanie, Miney and Moe.

So i drive home all excited thinking, "YEAH!!!!!! LEGO!!!!!" I come to a traffic light and am forced to stop by the furious, glowing red beacon. when I read the blurb on the back... I look up and drop the case thinking... "I didn't like the clone wars saga cartoons...." turns out, It follows one film (Episode 2) and the cartoons.... Brilliant :/

The studio/Den/My room/Hole - The review begins

So I placed the game disk in the Console, Sat down and waited to get in the game. I'm quite pleasently surprised with the detailing that the developers are starting to put into the Lego genre Games. There's a fight scene in the back ground of the menus which i couldn't do anything but watch. After a while, I got bored and happily pressed play; So far so good.

I get greeted to the comedy that are the Lego cut scenes where it evidently shows that the developers want to include that classic humour which has followed the Lego games series.

The cut-scene ends where i'm quite happily learning the controls in the footsteps of Padmé, Anakin and Obe-wan. a fight with some monster ass things continue and then...

 HOLYCHRIST.com!
(Not a real website so i'm aware)

The game engine and the Xbox get one hell of a battering with the sheer amount of graphics and AI it has to read. The screen is FULL of droids... This is absolutely amazing and makes you really kick some ass... makes me wish martin Lawrence was with me... You know what he'll say.. "This shit just got real."

After the initial tutorial level your left in a ship.... I thought, Oh okay Screw you society i'm exploring. i run to the lift... "1/3 gold bricks" (God damn....)

Well i say God damn, I like the collectable features in these collection of games because when going back levels, you have different characters and then use  their ability's... I actually found my self loving this later on in the game.

So i figure a couple of levels need playing, I approach the centre console. WOW. The menus are that which would compete with the minority report. I LOVE the way that all the menus are in the same place and not dotted around a massive building which proved tedious in Lego Indiana Jones. Also the details of having to warp to different galaxies to different levels... Om nom nom.

So basically, these features do provide [To me] a vital aspect to the games enjoyability factor. However, when I play games, especially on the Xbox speaking in a party... I. PLAY. GAMES.

I found my self bored within 15 mins of the first level. Its just the fact that my head there was a little voice saying "Hang on, ive basically just done that.... and that... and that" and what used to be fun, rapidly turned into boredom and also being quite tedious. i found me being bored of the Xbox all together :/ Bad times.

So overall this game deserve a nice meaty 8/10. Because to me playability factor in a game is important but the boredom after 15 mins just doesn't give it a right to have a 9. 

Next Weeks Round Up!

Next up? Oh my lovelies, you have a few bi-polar choices to look forward too:

My first Gadget review! (Dependant on the outcome of O2's decision on my new phone.)

My second Customer Service review! (Autoglass Windscreen Chip repair/replacement.)
And if I get chance too... Possibly another game review! (Brink Xbox 360!)

Also don't forget, TheWinOfTheWeek pod casts will make another episode tomorrow with me, our regular Mr. billy gill and one of our loveable random Guests) and maybe possibly next weekend?? 

Oh, and before I go a BIGUP! the Readers in USA, Russia, Singapore and all over the world! Thanks for the ratings!

So untill tomorrow:

You stay fresh... Planet earth.

*Customer Service Review* O2 Lincoln

Picture found on www.google.co.uk
O2 online - Link

Okay so this is going to be one of my more serious reviews and is purely based on the customer service at O2 Lincoln inside Waterside.


As you may or may not know, i am [Not] a proud owner of a Sony Ericsson X10i (BOOM NAME AND SHAME!) and i've had one handset have a "Catastrophic system failure" and the second replacement handset has literately just done the same thing after 5 months. I rang up Sony Ericsson help line and came through to an operator who basically said its O2's problem. I said "Okay, Thanks ill go through them."


DAY 1 - The Prelude


So i ring them up and demand that i have a new DIFFERENT handset. Obviously there was some struggle with tem understanding the situation but they finally got it when I mentioned im not paying the bill. Half an hour on hold went by and they announced "We can give you an Iphone 3GS for 75 pound charge" admittedly it was a good offer, however it was reconditioned and why should i pay for a phone which im not satisfied with. It should ave been free. The operators good will was greatly appreciated but I just couldn't allow them to take me for even more of a ride.


DAY 2 (Today) - The review.


I walk into a busy O2 store with three people behind the popular "Guru bar" Or to me and you, "The counter." I look around at the Very good and well thought out displays, showing offers, latest phones and tablets on offer/sale. A guy wearing the odd shirt out come up to me and says "Sorry for your wait, Can I help" he seemed a nice guy so I explained all of my situation and said "... so its bricked, its a geek term" The term "bricked" as im sure your aware means its useless or to better put it:

[Bricked - An electrical gadget which cannot serve its desired purpose and cannot perform basic operations; I.E Turn on]


So he says "Ahh im not a geek, Ill let you speak to one of these guys" rather jokingly and walks off. Enter the Face palm!!


I finally get greeted to possibly the best employee in the customer service sector I have ever spoken to. Well presentable and great manners, he understood my situation and was extremely knowledgeable about how to sort my situation out with no hassle. A great man to talk too and just made me feel as if I was being truly cared for. I walk in a pissed off irritable bastard, I walk out with a loan phone and feeling pretty good and relived there is good service out there.


So Mr Paulo De Oliveira. Well done you sir, You truly deserve a promotion or some kind of inter-company recognition award for the service you provide!

(I have asked for mr. Paulo De Oliveira's permission for using his name and will be notified on publication.)


SO overall id give the customer service on the phone a 7 out of 10 as its not perfect but it can be improved. However, In store i'd happily give a 10 of 10 Easily. 


So if you want a phone with O2 i heavily suggest you go instore!

Mid week update - Best of the internet.... from Today!

Hey what's happening guys, i've seen possibly one of the best things this week. Comes from a guy called Toby turner. His stuff is pretty good so I really suggest you go check him out. It comes in the form of the Song "Apologize" by onerepublic Ft. Timbaland but its a parody. I do like my parodies as of late so I thought its worth hitting you guys up! (Its below)

[ worth a mention as well that my one and only found this.. so all hurrahs to Miss Eleanor moss please :D]

Hope your all having a good week! tomorrow be sure to look at some more reviews i'm doing in the form of a customer service review at O2 Lincoln and also the game review of Lego Starwars 3.

Peace!

(MUSIC REVIEW) Take that - Progress

Picture from PLAY.COM

I don't know why but every time I'm out in town with the lads, I have a few too many and then start singing "happy now" by Take that. I think that kinda gave me the idea of writing the review...

So Yes, this albums been out for a few months now and well, Its my first 10 of 10 *****

I remember when i was younger when boybands were on my Kill list and spice girls were on my love list (No point in denying it) so when "Take That" made the news to announce a comeback i thought just like my best mate "Its like the soprano's, ITS OVER! get a new show!" a few years later, im fighting the masive gang of superfans for tickets. I wouldnt say im my self a superfan, but I thoroughly enjoy their output.

Something which ive managed to point out in the band, is that you can really tell there's a sense of friendship (This is before robbie joined back) A sense of unity and they love what they do.

Enter Robbie Williams.


I think it was Howard said in an interview that they cant trust him as of yet but its building. In "Progress" you can just tell there is a sense of unity again, best mates gelling together to make Awe-spiring (Awesome + Aspire) music.

The highlight song to me is "Happy now" which as many Britons saw on their television sets on "Red nose day" They can have fun and are willing to have a laugh. The seriousness of their music is apparent from track 1 (The Flood) but they cans till do stuff like this, Its Refreshing to see there just a group of people like us, not full of them self (I could be wrong but they all do look genuine)

So overall, This has to be one of the best albums I own along side Freezepop (They own.)

If you haven't got their album yet, YouTube or buy it! You WILL NOT be disappointed


(I take no responsibility if you buy it and your disappointed. Sucks to be you.)
