The experiment attracted a great deal of press interest but failed to generate a significant increase in sales. The new owners of Penthouse significantly softened the content of the magazine starting with the January 2005 issue. Penthouse no longer showed male genitalia, real or simulated male-female sex, or any form of explicit hardcore content. (It does still feature female-female simulated sex, at least on occasion.) While this change allowed the return of a limited number of mainstream advertisers to the magazine, it has not significantly raised the number of subscribers. (Many insiders feel that the softening of content may have hurt the magazine). I felt that the AncestryDNA test would be an excellent purchase for those looking to build an extensive family tree, or connect with their living relatives.įor those more interested in their ethnic mix or who want to learn more about their individual genetic makeup (i.e. Neanderthal traits, which genes they inherited from mom or dad, etc.), another test might be more engaging.Īlthough the terms and conditions made it clear that Ancestry’s subscription service is separate to Ancestry DNA, I think AncestryDNA promised a bit more than it delivered. Contrary to my expectations, I didn’t think the test really allowed me to discover distant relatives or uncover my unique family history, without paying for the subscription service.įor existing subscribers to Ancestry’s records-based service, or for genealogists who’ve built up at least four generations of their family tree, AncestryDNA is a must-buy test.

Full ReviewĪncestry is best known for their genealogical records site, which launched in the US in 1996. Their autosomal AncestryDNA test launched in 2012, and can be integrated with their genealogical subscription service, which provides access to public records such as censuses, passenger lists, birth, marriage and death records, and more. By connecting your genetic results to your records-based findings, you can explore your family’s history, connect with DNA relatives, and build a family tree. We’ve heard that no company combines the genetic and records-based approaches as well as Ancestry, so I couldn’t wait to try this test. However, this collection is basically pointless, and the information is useless, since no enemy in the game provides enough of a threat to require planning. The enemy graphics are also so lackluster that being able to view them at any point isn't worth the time it would take.
Collecting enough ghosts can unlock a few bonus features, such as a Boss Rush, but they're no great shakes. One interesting element about Danny Phantom is the Polarity system, which is going to sound very familiar to fans of the cult Dreamcast title, Ikaruga. Danny has two forms of "polarity" – pink and blue.
Enemy bullets also come in two forms, with the same colors. When Danny is hit by a bullet of the same color as his current polarity, he absorbs the ghostly energy to refill his health bar, and naturally, if he gets hit by the opposite color, he takes damage instead. When combined with his other powers, this polarity-absorbing system makes Danny almost invincible. While this is a nice addition for the younger audience, older players will feel rather frustrated by this multi-layered defense. Losing a life feels almost impossible, as there are so many different forms of protection keeping Danny from the real afterlife. In fact, the difficulty of Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle is the game's biggest problem. Even for a title designed for the younger generation, this is way too easy. On the hardest difficulty mode, most stages simply boil down to holding down the attack button and watching everything die in your path.
