Christmas is round the corner and we all want to celebrate it with those we love. In order to do this, we need to show them that we love them and they are special to us. This is a time to express this by traditionally buying each other gifts. Because there is a need to spend money to buy these gifts, it does'nt mean that we need to spend wads of cash to achieve this. We are living in a world of financial turmoil, many a high street shops have gone under. Who would have thought that the Comet chain of stores would be likely to close down this christmas?
I would therefore recommend a game for your loved one, whether boyfriend, husband, son,daughter...etc.Gamers come in different shapes and sizes!!! This game is one of the hottest selling products at the moment, so you don't want to miss out.

Live Through A Million Deaths & Earn Your Legacy
Enter a dark world filled with despair and threaded by hope where your ability to creatively strategize, learn and overcome unpredictable and unique challenges determines your fate. Dark Souls will demand your absolute concentration, unflinchingly punish your mistakes, but reward your ability to learn from death. Each challenge is a mind game met with endless combinations that will test your ability to creatively strategize a way to conquer unimaginable monsters and progress deeper into this bleak and forbidding environment filled with the un-dead.
Key Game Features
Extremely Deep, Dark & Difficult – Unforgiving in its punishment, yet rewarding for the determined – learn to strategize freely and conquer seemingly impossible challenges. You will organically design your own gameplay style by developing your character and continuously trying different strategies to finally achieve successful progression.
Fully Seamless World – Explore a completely integrated world of dark fantasy where dungeons are seamlessly intertwined, with great height.
Mastery Earns Progression – Contains 60 hours of gameplay, with nearly 100 uniquely despair-inducing monsters & an incredibly nuanced weaponry & magic spells system, the effectiveness of which is determined by combat situation, fighting style and character attributes. Player success depends on their eventual mastery of how and when to use the magic spells, choice of armor, the number of weapons, the types of weapons, and the moves attached to the weapons.
Network Play – Players may cross paths with one another, interacting with each other throughout the game even as each player plays their own game. Networked play allows users to cross paths with one another to enhance the single-player gameplay experience without destroying it.
Flexible Character Development & Role Play – As the player progresses, they must carefully choose which of their character’s abilities to enhance as this will determine their progression style. Players can choose to play as a sword master and a wizard, for example.
Community – See other real players and empathize with their journey, learn from seeing how others died, find and leave messages for your fellow players; helping them or leading them into death.
Symbolic of Life & Hope – The Beacon Fire is an important feature of Dark Souls for many reasons. Though in gameplay it serves as a recovery and re-spawn point for players whose health gets low, it is also where players can emotionally share experiences with other players, and is the one place in the dark world where players can find a fleeting moment of warmth and calm.

Read the fine print carefully
Terms and conditions: not reading the small print can mean
big problems
Survey shows just 7% of people read the full terms when
buying a product or service online, while a fifth say they have suffered from
not doing so
Rebecca Smithers, consumer affairs correspondent

Reading the small print is vital on purchases made over the
internet. It is the important small
print setting out our contractual rights, but latest research reveals just 7%
of Britons read the online terms and conditions when signing up for products
and services. The research, commissioned by investment specialist Skandia,
exposes how easy it is for people booking and paying for goods and services
online to click the terms and conditions box without actually reading them in
full. Nearly six in 10 (58%) adults said they would rather read an instruction
manual or their utility or credit card bill than go through online terms, and
more than one in 10 (12%) would rather read the phone book. Meanwhile, 43% of
those who don't always read the terms and conditions say they are boring or
difficult to understand. But by failing
to check the small print they are in the dark about their rights, until
something goes wrong. Just over a fifth
(21%) of people surveyed said they had suffered as a result of ticking the
terms and conditions box without having done their homework. One in 10 found themselves locked into a
longer contract than expected because they signed up without reading the small
print, and one in 20 lost money by not being able to cancel or amend hotel or
holiday bookings. Joanne Lezemore,
senior lawyer at Which? Legal Service, said: "The advice is simple: always
read the terms and conditions of any contract before you sign it.
"It is really important you understand everything
before you sign on the dotted line, as you could find yourself landed with
extra fees or charges. While all consumer contracts are subject to the unfair terms
in consumer contract regulations, this doesn't mean you can challenge a clause
just because you didn't know it was there, or you think it's unfair – because
it's clearly written, you're bound by it."
She said online shoppers may be tempted to tick the box to
confirm they have read the terms and conditions when they have not actually
done so, but added: "They are different on every website, so make sure you
know what you're agreeing to. People are often surprised to find out they're
obliged to pay to return unwanted items purchased online, as it is commonly
stated in the terms and conditions – and these fees can be expensive."
Skandia conducted the research to draw attention to changes
made to the terms and conditions on all its financial products, and has signed
up the broadcaster and comedian Clive Anderson to present its standard online
terms to customers in a video.
Rachel Eyre got caught out after buying plane tickets online
on 7 October 2010. "Having purchased the tickets, the travel company decided
to refund my payment on 9 October stating that the flights were no longer
available at the price I paid.
"The travel agent refused to supply the tickets or
enter any resolution process despite many requests – referring me to their
standard terms and conditions which they claim allow them to do this. I will
always make sure I read terms and conditions now before signing up to
anything."
