    If you don't like commitment, a prepaid phone plan can be appealing -- but not if you have to predict your data needs well in advance. Verizon may offer a lot more flexibility with its new Allset plans, though. While there's only one base $45 per month plan for smartphones with unlimited calling, unlimited messages and 500MB of data, customers can tack on "bridge data" that rolls any unused megabytes over to the next month. If you pay $10 for 1GB of data or $20 for 3GB, you can hold on to any leftover capacity for up to 90 days -- a big help if you know you'll need some headroom during that summer vacation. There's a $5 pack if you only need 500MB of data for 30 days, and basic feature phone users can buy the same bridge packs. Basic feature phone owners can also use Allset, although their $35 base rate caps them at 500 minutes of voice. These aren't the cheapest prepaid plans we've seen in the US (see Virgin Mobile for a good example), but they may make sense if your internet usage varies wildly from month to month.

    Introduction

    It wasnt until our close family friends went to Walt Disney World back in 2004 did i really take notice of the theme parks in America, i was very content with going to the likes of the American Adventure and Alton Towers, one was 20 minutes from my house and although a small park it did have enough to make a great day especially when the park wasnt full. Alton Towers however was Britains biggest theme park and you really need to be lucky to get a slow day when you werent queueing for an age.

    As good as the UK parks are they are nothing compared to the likes of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando.

    Starting Off

    Choosing the Right Tour Operator such as Virgin or Thomson should be your first step, you may get cheaper options but the flight can be a killer, remember to go to the USA you have to book in 3 hours before you depart, then you have a 9 hour flight, paying that bit more is a neccessity, you can fly with the likes of Cosmos/Monarch or Thomas Cook but for quality of service and hidden extras then Virgin or Thomson are your best options.

    From the start you need to know that a 2 Week stay in Orlando is going to be expensive, depending on the time of year, if say 4 or 5 of you are going heres a typical breakdown.

    Cost of Holiday - £5000 and thats the minimum, we paid this for a 3 bedroomed villa, a hotel in Disney or Universal resorts would be majorly more to pay for, you can opt for a cheaper hotel but be wary and always read reviews. Different times of the year can be vastly more expensive too.
    Cost of Car Hire - £500 - Be warned that "free" car hire only pays for the very basic insurances and you will be paying a lot more on top, do your homework when booking, make sure you have the very best insurance, like in this country you need to be protected.
    Cost of theme Park Tickets £2000 - If your going to do both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, SeaWorld and also Busch Gardens your going to be paying around £400 each for the combined tickets.

    Spending Money - For 4/5 of you your going to need at least £110 a day to pay for food and drinks, somedays you may not spend this much but you may also overspend. Petrol for the car you should budget for at least 3 tankfuls in 2 weeks, i would say £130 for that. Now thats roughly £1600 but in Orlando they have the Premium Villas where you get designer clothes at Bargain Prices, bring as much money as you can but watch the weight and keep the tags on the majority of what you buy, you are allowed to bring back a fair amount but if you go over your weight or are silly and bring back 20 ipads then your gonna get stopped by customs.

    I would say go for a minimum of £3000 for food/petrol and spends.

    So in all budget for around £11000.

    The Flight Part

    The2nd to worst part of the holiday is flying and on the 4 times we have flown we had one terrible and 3 OK flights. Virgin or Thomson should be the best options for you, make sure to get quotes from both to see which is best, what i will say is that Virgin were easily the best and the added extras made up massively for any extra costs.

    The flight journey on our Virgin Plane was great, decent movies, good space and good food too and with staff that were very pleasent and went that extra inch that you needed.

    The Airport and Finding Your Location

    Depending on which airport you land at is where the fun begins, Sanford is a smaller airport but further away from Orlando and Orlando International is much closer but also massive. If you land at Sanford or Orlando and have a shuttle waiting for you then move to next chapter. If your renting a car then read on, first thing about car rental is that the folks behind the desk will hard sell you an upgrade, refuse at all costs and just say we will check our car first and if its too small then we will come back to you, you will get fleeced for money otherwise, be strong.

    If you go with the likes of Alamo then youll get to pick from a load of cars in the same class as the one you have hired, good tip is to go for one with a big boot , If your at Sanford then you need to head to the I4 Motorway and if you havent drove in the USA then it will be a shock for you, its like a free for all, keep to the speedlimit but go into the middle lane, because they enter in the slow lane to us your well advised to keep away from that.

    On the large roads in the USA they drive like on a race circuit, if you think idiots in Britain drove bad you aint seen nothing, they overtake, undertake, last second lane changes, be on your guard at all times, if you have a sat nav use it. Like in britain if you see a dodgy area then avoid it.

    Accomadation

    If your in a hotel just make sure the room is decent first, if not complain and asked to be moved. If your in a Villa youll either register that night or the next morning, if there is any problems report them straight away, if you paid for a top notch villa and it isnt then complain and ask to be moved.

    If you have a safe in the Villa use it, if it has an alarm make sure to use that also.

    The Parks

    The Theme Parks in Orlando are the best in the World, i could go on for hours, big tips are to try all of them if only for a day each, ill do each park one at a time.

    Magical Kingdom

    This is where you pinch yourself, the dream has come true, rides to see are Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain and thats just a few, awesome park especially for younger children.

    Epcot

    Very much an underrated park, this has two massive rides in Test Drive and Soarin but so much more including a park on its own with rides/buildings and shops from many regions of the world.

    Animal Kingdom

    The rapids and Expedition Everest are a must to ride on here, my least favourite out of the Disney parks but still decent.

    Disneys Hollywood studios

    Here youll find Tower of Terror, The Aerosmith Roller Coaster and Star Wars Star Tours, Toy Story, Indiana Jones Show and Backlot Tour and a heck of a lot more.

    Disneys Water Parks

    Out of all the water parks in Orlando the 2 Disney water parks are by far the best, they cater for the young up to those who are thrill seekers and theres even some water coasters too.

    Seaworld

    In my opinion a one visit day only park, good for shows like Shamu and theres one ride similiar to Soarin that i went on once but never found it again.

    The Universal Orlando Parks

    Universal Studios

    You will die and go to heaven here, The Mummy is one of the best rollercoasters in the world, ET, Men in Black, Simpsons Ride are just a few of the world class rides here, quite simply a must visit.

    Islands of Adventure

    Another dream park, The Hulk Coaster, Spiderman, The rapids get you soaked, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter World are just some of whats here, visit it as soon as you can.

    Shopping

    The Theme Parks are world class but the shopping is too, you can get designer clothes at the sort of prices you would pay at a supermarket or primark in the UK, its the only place in the world i enjoy my shopping, the premium outlets at both ends of international drive make it a must visit location.

    The End

    Its not cheap to get to Orlando and but Theme Park Tickets but its so worth it, its much cheaper when you are here and the Parks, Eating out and the Shopping are better than anywhere in the world. Put it on your bucket list to do before you die, save up and live the dream that Walt Disney made for us.

    From when i got my first PC an old 386 Computer i have been mad on RTS games, i love taking my time building up my base, countering any enemies whilst building a superior defence so that later in the game i can launch a full assault on the enemy position. You start off with the very basic of infantry and mechanical weopens and build up as fast or as slow as you like, gaining new superior offense and defensive buildings, infantry and helicopters and the equivalent in any strategy game.

    The greatest of strategy games like the Command and Conquer series, the Starcraft series and also the likes of Total Annilation showed the blueprint to what is the very best way to play RTS games, the earlier games were especially good.

    In all strategy games you need to get a foothold in the game to entice you to play more, too complex and youll turn the game off and too easy then you wont get the enjoyment that in any great game you should. Todays online browser games such as Totaldomination (Click to play Strategy Browser Games Online at Plarium.com) offer the next level of strategy game with a gameplay field of thousands to make a truly Next Gen gaming arena with graphics that are familiar but bang up to date.

    In TotalDomination you start off with your own sector and even if you find it a bit daunting dont worry as General Trevor Winters and the Stratcom elite will help you into the game. The background to the game is that theres been a plague and a Nuclear War and whats left of the world are now forming their own communities (sectors) each with their own armies, imagine a world war with everyone vs each other, it makes for an experiance beyond any other, if your lucky youll be surrounded by those just wanting to create a powerful base and repel any advances, an uneasy alliance until they deem you a threat.

    To get the latest in Technological advancements you have to research and build and collect modules which you can use to trade with other commanders or if you wish can buy them on the black market. The resources are split into 3 areas, Titanium, Uranium and Credits, each sector has diferring amounts so you may need to build bigger warehouses or trade for resources you are short of in the Trade Getaway. You can even invest in ways of refining how you mine for your resources to get more out of an area.

    You could raid other bases and steal their resources, as they could with you but will diplomacy be the order of the day, only you can decide.

    From reading other reviews from around the internet this game delivers in a way we have not seen since the golden days of RTS games, what it has got over other games is that youll get a notice of impending forces via a little red icon, so gives you some time to prepare and give back what they give you.

    After reading this arent you up to Totally Dominate in Totally Domination by Plarium.com ?

    Amazon is offering Xbox One for £399.99 a day ahead of the console's official UK price cut.
    Consumers can opt for three Xbox One packages under £400: a standalone console, a console with FIFA 14, or the recently revealedTitanfall hardware bundle.
    On Monday, Microsoft announced that it was cutting the UK Xbox One price by £30 beginning on February 28. Having launched on November 22, 2013 priced at £430, the new Xbox One UK estimated retail price will be £399.99 from this Friday.
    The UK arm of GameStop decided to knock a further £30 off the ERP - itwas offering the upcoming Xbox One Titanfall bundle for £369.99 until its initial stock allocation ran dry.
    Set for release globally, the limited edition Titanfall console bundle features Titanfall packaging, an Xbox One console, Kinect sensor, standard wireless controller and chat headset, one month Xbox Live Gold membership and a digital copy of Respawn's highly-anticipated shooter.
    Xbox UK marketing director Harvey Eagle told CVG on Monday: "This is a major promotion for us so it's true that there is a finite amount of stock available and therefore I would encourage people to pre-order early if they want to get the offer guaranteed.
    "But I would also say that this is of order of magnitude for us with the launch offers. So the FIFA and Forza launch offer was a widespread offer and this is an offer of as significant volume as what that was. We've got no further announcements to make today. Once this offer is gone, it's gone. But the price point of £399 is a new permanent price point moving forward."

    Tomorrow, Lovefilm becomes Amazon Prime Instant Video, and unless you take advantage of the various early adopter discounts, it'll cost you an up-front annual fee of £79. On the upside, the company is pushing to add more TV shows to the service in the hope of clawing back some of Netflix's lost ground. First up, Amazon has signed a deal with Warner Bros. that'll see the first seasons of Arrow, The Following and Revolution appear on UK Prime within the next few days. The agreement will also see Hostages and The 100 appear in 2015, with subsequent seasons of all five shows added afterward. At the same time, the retailer has confirmed that UK users will be able to watch its original TV comedy Alpha House, which is a bit like House of Cards, but with more jokes.

    GameStop's UK branch is selling the newly announced Titanfall Xbox One bundle at £370 (around $617), some £30 less than the suggested £400 tag($667). In effect, GameStop is doubling the difference of Microsoft's suggested price drop - the company launched the console at £430 in the UK.

    GameStop has precedence here; it's also been selling the PS4 at £330, which is £20 less than the system's recommended price in the UK. Other major retailers like Amazon, GAME, Zavvi, and ShopTo are selling the Titanfall bundle at the suggested £400.

    The Titanfall bundle hits the UK alongside Respawn's shooter on March 14. North America boards the meteor-like mechs a few days earlier on March 11, but the Xbox One price drop remains limited to the sovereign isle, where it'll go into effect on Friday, February 28.

    The Xbox One hasn't been selling as well as the PlayStation 4 on a global level, and that's partly due to pricing -- in the UK, Microsoft's system costs a lofty £429 ($713) versus Sony's £349 ($580). That gap is about to narrow, though, as Microsoft plans to cut the Xbox's price to a slightly more reasonable £400 ($665) on February 28th. The company isn't leaning solely on that lower price tag to attract gamers, either. It's also releasing a special Titanfall Xbox One bundle (shown here) that includes both a download code for Respawn's shooter and a month of Xbox Live Gold for the same price as the regular console. Americans can expect this limited edition system to ship alongside the game on March 11th, while Brits should get it on March 14th.

    Samsung has just announced that the Galaxy S5 will be available starting April 11th in 150 countries. Over here in the US, it'll be available on Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, MetroPCS and U.S. Cellular. Ma Bell is going one step further, offering up the Gear 2 and the Gear Fit smartwatches as well. If you'd rather go elsewhere for your mobile needs, retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, RadioShack, Sam's Club, Target and Walmart will have the GS5 plus all three of Samsung's newly announced wearables. As for our friends across the Atlantic, UK providers EE, Three and Vodafone UK have jumped aboard the GS5 bandwagon, as have retailers Phones4u and Carphone Warehouse. Though it hasn't been announced, we expect other carriers such as O2 will support the phone too. No word on pricing just yet, but we expect we'll find that out closer to the phone's April launch date.
