a pretty piece of crap

Thu, 7 Feb 2002 01:56:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - A friend and I played this game together and together, we couldn't figure this game out. First big problem...

Controls::

They suck. My friend used a game pad. I used the keyboard. The keyboard controls were the most unintuitive I have...

Unreal's b1tch

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 18:08:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - you think Q3's cool? try Unreal tournament. it's like comparing the Matrix to a western. Unreal beats Q3 in every aspect except maybe graphics, and even then, ut is only footsteps behind.

graphics::

Q3 has some nice graphics,...

alice is pretty, but not much underneath

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 16:56:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - american mcgee did a great job with the graphics, the level design, and the music. but playing the game is not that exciting. and actually, it got kind of repetitive and boring as it dragged on. i admit that i used cheats to finish the game, but i got...

great graphics...but that's about it

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 19:09:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - as a real-time strategy game, ta: kingdoms would have been near the bottom of the pile if it weren't for its spectacular graphics.

Graphics::

if there's any reason to play this game at all, it's for the eye candy. the maps are...

Unreal Tournament for Windows: great multiplayer, much more dynamic than Q3

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 18:36:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - if you're looking for a good fps with plenty of gameplay aspects, plenty of weapons, and even cool mods, get unreal. unreal is best for multiplayer though single player is still pretty good. the ai is not bad and the single player missions can last a...

Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 for Windows: not only do the story and cut scenes look stupid, the gameplay sucks too

Tue, 31 Jul 2001 19:35:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - ok, it only took maybe an hour for me and some buddies to figure out how to dominate this game in multiplayer. the gameplay as well as the units are so lopsided that all you need is a group of prism tanks and you can roll over the entire map.

...

starcraft, red alert...pfft. aoe2 dominates

Tue, 31 Jul 2001 18:45:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - what sets aoe2 apart from other rts games? the main thing is balance. in red alert 2, the first person to build up an army of prism tanks wins. aoe has counter units for every unit. there are 13 races to play as opposed to starcraft's 3; red alert's...

Half-Life For Windows, Mac: GO! GO! GO!

Tue, 31 Jul 2001 16:41:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - you have your list of generic shoot-em ups: quake, unreal... but counter strike is different. it's a mix between rainbow six and something like quake.

differences between counter strike and other first person shooters:: CS is only...

jolie the only reason to watch

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 17:34:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - ok, there's some nice action scenes and having jolie in tight clothes throughout the movie ain't all bad. but if you think, there's a reason why she's always in tight-fitting clothes. It's to draw your attention away from the crappy plot and generic...

good for beginners who need power, bad for experienced players who want control, feel

Mon, 9 Jul 2001 18:07:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - I've played competitive tennis for 4 years and the whackiest racquet I've ever used was a Sledge Hammer. I don't own a Sledge Hammer, but I've played with one. Usually, I like less powerful racquets with more control because I like hitting the ball...

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! Value Sound Card: for mainstream music and gaming, there's no reason not to buy this card

Mon, 9 Jul 2001 17:19:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - I got my SB Live! Value after I bought a new set of surround sound speakers for my computer (P3 450, 128RAM) and didn't have enough output plugs. Why did I get the Live! Value? It's cheap, it has 5 plugs, 2 of which are for output signals (one for main...

in one word: depressing

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 00:11:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - This book was depressing. There were no heroes, only jerks who you wanted to slap. The characters consist of a young woman who is taken advantage of her whole life by all the men she meets. These men consist of a rapist/rich scumbag and an...

if your life involves calculus, the 89 is your savior

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 23:03:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - This calculator is essentially the TI-92 crammed into the body of a powerful calculator. The most wonderful tool to have if you do any regular work involving calculus. This calculator has it all: integrals, derivatives, Taylor polynomials, limits,...

small, easy to use, easy to learn

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 21:57:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - The PDR-M4 was the first camera that I owned. It is easy to use and takes little time to learn the features. It's a point and click camera although the camera may take a few seconds to adjust to extreme light conditions and to auto-focus. This camera...

humorous, suspenseful and with a message

Wed, 20 Sep 2000 00:01:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bornio - The first time I started to read Huck Finn, I put it down after a few chapters because of the annoying dialect used by the slave, Jim. The second time around I neglected a paper I had due the next day because I couldn't put the book down. The book read...
