Prices seem to be around £260 for the White and £309 for the Black package .

There's also  Zombie U package  in Black for around £350. But give or take £10.00 either way most Online retailers are giving these prices.

Copyright :Bottom Up -1997

Just received a Classic Japanese N64 game , 64 Ozumo came out in 1997 ,though it was thought to be mediocre at the time a sequel was released in 1999. Just got to get my head round the Japanese  text and I'll be fine.

With a hall full of games to play ,stars of TV and Film appearing ,with Sunday playing Host to Film Star Danny DeVito ,who entertained the crowd with his many stories.

New reviews on site have been quite rounded in that we have covered some great films from around the Far East.

Our review of ''Inseparable '' with Daniel Wu and Kevin Spacey went live a couple of weeks back, and after receiving the full uncut version of Taiwanese epic ''SEEDIQ BALE'' ,our review went live a few days ago showcasing the Terracotta Far East Film Festival screening and the full version on DVD.

Also our review of the Gareth Edawards film''The Raid '' went live to after catching up with the film. The star Iko Uwais looks set to be the next big martial arts star ,but then i have been saying that since seeing ''Merantu'' 18 months back. Though everyone has been saying here have you seen the Raid ,the guys amazing. So for all you out there tellin me ,get this ''I TOLD YOU FIRST ''.

Plus we also looked at the new Tsui Hark remake of  his 1992 film ''New Dragon Gate'' ,yes we reviewed the 2D version of ''The Flying Swords of Dragon GATE 3D''  with Jet Li in the lead role.
