Star Bores

Sun, 7 Jan 2007 05:22:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but I had heard that the first version of this game rocked so I picked it up about two months before the second one came out. I played the first Star Wars: Battlefront but I played it as a single player...

Violence for Profit

Sat, 6 Jan 2007 06:31:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is one of the best games I played all year! I was sitting at home and a friend had it. I told him I wasn't into war games or shooters but that he could play. He started as Jacobs. He stole a truck and...

Half and Half

Wed, 30 Jan 2002 07:04:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - I had never played the Civ series of games before, but had played the tabletop game once, which I won. Looking for something new to tinker with after disappointing showings from Microsoft, Blizzard, Maxis and Westwood I looked to the Civ series. I...

The Sims:Hot Date PC for Windows: Luke Warm for Hot Date

Fri, 28 Dec 2001 10:44:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - I'm an avid Sims fan. I have been from day one. I even know one of the lead programmers for the game and he has commented on some of my articles about it. In the past, I was critical, but still an intense fan. While Hot Date is certainly worth the funds,...

Prima for the Toilet.

Fri, 28 Dec 2001 09:37:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - I have reviewed several of Prima's guides, specifically for The Sims. In my other reviews I have been somewhat reserved and specific. This review being the fourth in the line of absolutely felonious theft of my money, will be pretty scathing.

Conquering?

Tue, 30 Oct 2001 18:50:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - This review will be broken down into four parts. Part one will represent what I thought were great additions to the game and the improvements that were made. The second part will discuss things that were implemented, but fell short of its potential to...

Spicy Little Work

Sat, 27 Oct 2001 16:47:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - Nathaniel’s Nutmeg was originally written in 1966. It highlights the surprisingly difficult time that the European nations (specifically Britain) had in establishing colonies and trade in the Spice Islands. This work presents a story that is indicative...

Lord of the Action Games

Mon, 16 Jul 2001 04:45:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - The expansion pack for Diablo II came out on June 29th, the day before the dead line. For once, Blizzard was on time. And thank God! So many of us were dying for that expansion that we were about to sell our limbs to get it. I was thrilled when I saw it...

Strategy Guides that Lack Guidance

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 11:50:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - Okay, so we all know about my love affair with The Sims and its expansion Livin' Large. I think it's fair to say that it rates pretty highly on my "Things that are fun and sick" list. That being said, shortly after I got into the game, I had...

Clue Chronicles - Fatal Illusions: Imitation is the Highest form of Flattery.

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 06:39:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - I recently came home to my mother's house for the holidays, and since one of our favorite pass-times is playing computer games together, she had bought us a new one. Fatal Illusion was on my desk with a note telling me to have the computer (which I...

Diablo II Earns High Marks.

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 13:49:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - Okay, so on my quest to find a great RPG for my girlfriend that is a stand-alone; I was struck by the game Diablo II. Not because of the fancy packaging, but because it's a Blizzard product. Blizzard is the messiah of computer gaming software; they...

Age of Empires Competes with the best.

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 14:55:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - I recently went to the store and picked out this game to play. When I first bought it I was under the impression that it was a game similar to the computer version of Civilization. As it turns out it more or less resembles Warcraft, except that it...

Can't Brodcast Shiznit.

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 03:09:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - Okay, all's fair in the ratings game, and since I've bagged on everyone else who broadcasts football games, I may as well nail CBS while I'm at it. Now, I know that I really hammered FOX, and I know I had it in for Al Michaels, but in all fairness I am a...

Monday Night Football at its Worst

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 13:32:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - ABC is the host station for Monday Night Football. There have been a lot of changes since Frank Gifford got caught, literally, with his pants down, and here is my evaluation of what's now right, and wrong, about the broadcasting trio that sits on high in...

The Sims Wish List.

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 08:53:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - Make no mistake that I am a huge fan of the popular game The Sims and its expansion pack titled Livin’ Large. I think the game is wonderful, fresh, exciting, creative, and is a great way to kill your social life. There are however a few...

Not too Foxy

Tue, 19 Sep 2000 12:15:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - On 17 Sep 00, Fox got one of the Sunday football games. This one was billed to be a good one, the Tampa Bay Bucaneers were in Detroit to face the Lions. I'm a football freak and I love to watch as many games as I can. I had a lot of issues with this...

Tue, 4 Jul 2000 18:25:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - This article has been designed to share information and even a few game secrets about The Sims that may not be readily known and perhaps you may not even have thought to ask.

I’ll try to make this interesting while also imparting my fellows...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - If you’re interested in playing The Sims but would like a strategy guide that actually guides you through the game, this is for you. Using cheat codes you can accomplish just about anything you want to. This guide is for those of us that like to do it...

Cheat Codes - and How to use them!

Tue, 4 Jul 2000 13:31:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - I've decided to write several articles about this game since I seem to be fairly adept at it. I have studied things that even the master guide book (the special strategy guide) that you can buy doesn't cover. In the chat room on the web site for the sims...

Western Hospitality

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 22:53:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - Western State College of Colorado is located in beautiful (and I have to admit that it is beautiful) Gunnison Colorado. It really is gorgeous here. I doubt I have ever seen a prettier area and campus combined than while here at Western. And I've attended...

Servicing the Mountaineers

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 13:34:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - If you're headed to, or thinking about heading to Western, it might be handy to know more about the campus than just what the tour provides. There are a lot of special programs and services available to students to help them in their academic careers...

The Political Smurf

Fri, 3 Mar 2000 19:10:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - Ok, whoa, buddy! Before you go thinking I'm gonna rant and rave about how fantastic a show The Smurfs is (yes it's singular), you need to know that that's not the case.

Check this out! I'm going to show how The Smurfs is actually a political...

100% Agreement.

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 06:13:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - Tsomes made a wonderful post about the ESPN magazine titled "ESPN the Flop," and this is a post to support every word he said.

To start off with, I’ll tell you what I don’t like about the magazine’s current issue, and then move into...

The Wolf's Meow.

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 16:42:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - I know that many people who come here to read this opinion are wondering, much as I was, isn’t this game obsolete? Let me begin by saying yes, and no.

Yes, By today’s standards it has rough graphics, limited weapons, minimal variation of bad...

America's Worst ISP.

Tue, 22 Feb 2000 16:48:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Alastor - I am an AOL user. And I'm embarrassed to say so. I'll go ahead and focus in this document exactly why AOL is an atrocious ISP. I'll limit the rest of my wrath to another post about it.

For starters, I go to a small state college out in boony...
