The Screams of the Little People

Wed, 8 Oct 2003 15:59:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Aaahhh, the screams of the little people...sirens wailing at my feet...the whir of helicopters blades around my head. Concrete and glass shatter outward beside me in a display like fireworks as my gargantuan opponent vents his frustration on the struc...

Cue the James Bond Theme

Wed, 8 Oct 2003 14:41:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - The UX50 The UX50 was a looker from the moment Sony unveiled this device in a Japanese press conference towards the beginning of the summer. Eschewing the more traditional sensibilities of the Palm lineup and Sony's own previous Clies, I was happy to...

Jak Bandicoot

Fri, 2 Aug 2002 13:33:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Please Note: You may have seen this review before because I originally (mistakenly) posted it under the category for the strategy guide for this game, since the game itself had no option to be reviewed for MONTHS after its release. I am simply...

Feels like an anvil, plays like a dream

Wed, 16 Jan 2002 13:00:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Videogame console hardware is always interesting to evaluate. There has yet to be a universal game format supported by this industry so that each competing manufacturer builds their own hardware architecture and support infrastructure for their entry in...

Combat Evolved? Keep Trying...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter -

Halo makes a case for the need to consider a lemon law in the videogame industry. It has a nice coat of paint and has performance on the lot that seems encouraging with no visible damage but once you get it on the road for awhile you come to the...

The Curse of Americanization

Sun, 4 Nov 2001 19:37:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - I haven't been epinionizing lately, so the fact that I've decided to log on for this one ought to help drive home the urgency of my message: The One is a terrible movie, by any standard.

There's a roller coaster of feelings that have been...

Organized Crime in the (video)Gaming Industry...

Mon, 16 Jul 2001 11:58:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - To many in the gaming community there is a time known as the Golden Age of videogaming, when competing, 16-bit consoles brought forth the highest quality game experiences. To me, the Golden Age never left, if there was such a thing, there's just the...

ZotE: Setting the Stage...

Tue, 29 May 2001 12:24:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Now that Epinions has finally created a product page for ZotE (honestly, why the delay, E?), I can finally post my thoughts about this one. Here was a game that I really wanted to be everything I hoped for and then some. But, ultimately I have to agree...

Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter for PlayStation 2: Star Wars: Return of the Good Franchise Game

Tue, 17 Apr 2001 13:35:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - There's a time in every young boy's life when he must become acquainted with the phenomena that is Star Wars. The fact that today's kids may see episode 1 first instead of episode 4, is lamentable.

Shockingly enough there are even times when...

Smuggler's Run: It'll mock your manhood

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 20:14:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Despite the criminal premise of Smuggler's Run, what we have here is a shining example of a game done right. Everything is well balanced: realism vs. game fantasy, graphic prowess vs. performance and challenge vs. accessibility.

You play a...

They have no mouths...how do they talk so much?

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 02:41:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - I'm not a huge fan of console RPGs, yet I am a huge fan of console gaming. So, every once in a while I dip into this genre to see what's going on. My hiatuses from the console RPGs are long: there was Phantasy Star 2, Lunar on the Sega CD, Suikoden,...

Oh My God, they Killed Marlon! Do it Again!

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 04:37:20 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Oh dear, did I give away a bit of the movie's plot with my title and spoil it for you so that it's no longer worth seeing? I certainly hope so...this is a battle for nothing less than the salvation of your hard-earned leisure time...

Wachusett. Gesundheit.

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 15:17:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Having taken the whole week of Thanksgiving 2k off, I wanted to try to get some time in for snowboarding, a fledgling hobby for me. But I was heading up to Massachusetts to spend time with family. The trick was that some of them were going to tag along...

A Late Bloomer of an RPG

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 15:16:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - What a position for a game like Summoner to be in. As a launch title for the PS2, too many are expecting the system and its games to be god-like, to somehow transcend the limitations of a flat TV screen and the control offered by a gamepad. But what we...

That's for the man!

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 16:27:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Woohoo! First epinion of Cannon Spike. What a dubious honor.

Ostensibly the purpose for going to the mall this past weekend was to help my girlfriend pick out a Dreamcast game. I've been in a PS2 haze lately, so though I do own a Dreamcast,...

Angel with Clipped Wings

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 20:26:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Apparently sassy and hard-edged is the definition of a modern independent woman. You don't have to project your TV show 20 years into the 21st century to make that statement...lots of other shows are doing it with contemporary storylines just as well...

Intense, Jackie. Very, very intense.

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 11:54:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - $8.00 for a cheesy Hong Kong martial arts movie, originally released several years back?!?! Who would waste their money that way?!?

There's a few reasons to go to the movies and therefore a few ways to get your money's worth: 1)a...

SSX for PlayStation 2: As unique as an iceberg in Hawaii

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 12:50:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - If you've bought a PS2 in the last week, then it's safe to say you like your gaming big and juicy. If you bought it for the puzzle games, please return it now, so some poor Soccer Mom doesn't mistakenly buy Johnnie a PSOne because she couldn't find a...

Tekken on the brink...

Wed, 1 Nov 2000 19:47:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - If there is a mascot(s) for the Playstation consoles, I'd say that honor belongs to the team of fighters found in Tekken. You might prefer Crash or Spyro, but neither of these have been there at the start of Sony's two consoles like Tekken has, and...

Sony PlayStation 2 Slimline Console: The Blue LED made me write this...

Wed, 1 Nov 2000 16:53:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - I don't have a funny "waiting in line for my Playstation 2 at 3am" story of my own, but I can tell you about a friend who was so eager for one, he was driving too fast to get to a Walmart at 3am that he hit a curb and blew a tire, but still...

Cryptonomizilla

Tue, 24 Oct 2000 18:06:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Cryptonomicon is a Godzilla among books. Not only does it dwarf the competition (at 900+ pages) but, also like the Japanese titan, nobody knows where it came from or where its going, we only know that it covers a lot of territory while its here and sure...

Howe Caverns: Howe could they...

Review Topic: Sights & Attractions

Oookay folks, this one is the first real dud that I have the privilege of getting all epinionated about. You know a tourist spot is over-developed when its a cave and they're shuttling...

Parks: Country Roads Campgrounds: Sizzling in the Catskills

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 02:07:07 GMT

Review Topic: Accommodations

Review Topic: Accommodations This campsite is so quiet you can hear the sizzle of current passing through the power lines cutting straight through the center of the site. And assuming you're...

Wurlitzer to Go

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 11:45:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - It doesn't happen often. Admittedly, I love gadgets, but I am not quite the bleeding edge type. I like a dose of refinement with the latest piece of gear I've chosen to slobber over. That's why it was a rare occurrence for me to be...

SotB: Unrealized Potential

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 15:15:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Antimatter - Sword of the Berserk (henceforth abbreviated as SOB) is the kind of videogame that hints at the enormous potential of the medium and yet, in the same glance, illustrates how far left there is to go in realizing that full potential.

I believe...
