Chill Out

Game	‘Chill’	Graphics	8
System	PlayStation	Sound	9
Type	Snowboarding	Gameplay	7
Developer	1-2	Lastability	9
Release	Out now	Over all	8.5

Watch out Coolboarders, there is a fierce competitor on the tracks.

‘Chill’ is a radical new snowboarding game that’s sure to raise some eyebrows.

It has to be a little bit different from those in it’s field for it to be  a hit, and have wider tracks and more precision in background graphics than any other snow boarding game on Playstation.

‘Chill’ is definitely unique.

Each course is magnificently crafted to allow you to carve your choice of 21 ‘Burton’ boards however you see fit.

There are 4 players to chose from (in two player mode they can race each other) and a great list of obstacles to jump and slide over.

There is even a mad halfpipe incorporated into the course on which you can perform a range of crazy-named tricks like chicken salad and butter muffin.

And in one course you fly off a cliff face and activate a parachute, which you have to steer to a safe landing at the bottom of the mountain.

‘Chill’ will take you many hours of quality time on the couch with a group of friends to perfect… but when you do, you will truly appreciate the many fine aspects of this game.

There is a seriously cool video to this game (very MTV), which samples some of the groovy beats and funky rap that you will later be cruising down the mountain to.

Overall ‘Chill’ is a must-have for all you winter sports fans out there - Get it NOW!

Xtramaths Results

This is my Xtramaths results. I think I am getting better because it wasn't that long ago that I started subtraction and I am already nearly on multiplication.

12 time tables

This is my 12 timetables. The method I used is quite easy to me. So say the number that I am multiplying by 12 is 8. First I multiply 8 by 10. Which equals 80. Then I multiply the 8 by 2. Which equals 16. So add 80 and 16 and you get the answer of 96.
