rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bowenkge - INTRO or, TAKING THE RED PILL

If you haven't seen, or at least heard of the 'Matrix,' you may as well stop reading this epinions now. The video game tie-in to the 'Matrix: Reloaded' is, for all intents and purposes, merely a behind the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bowenkge - INTRO or, GLOBALLY DOMINATE MUCH?

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bowenkge - INTRO or, HOW TO SCARE THE BEJEESUS OUT OF YOURSELF

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Bowenkge - INTRO or, A DESCENT IN TO BADNESS

I simply loved "Devil May Cry 1" and lets be honest, who didn't? This is still arguably the best game on the PS2 with it's slick neo-goth style, industrial metal soundtrack, trash-talking...

Mon, 30 Dec 2002 18:14:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Bowenkge - INTRO, or I HATE MAX PAYNE

For Such a Geeky Guy. Tony Hawk's Got Game

Sun, 1 Dec 2002 20:04:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bowenkge - Intro

Wes Craven Presents: They: I wish THEY would go back where THEY came from

Sat, 30 Nov 2002 18:48:20 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Bowenkge - Let me get one thing straight right from the start. I am poor. Now when I say I am poor, I don't mean I'm destitute, but I am college poor, and that's pretty bad in itself. Now being college poor means that any money, ANY money, you get has to be...

Wed, 5 Jun 2002 15:18:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bowenkge - What could I possibly hope to say about Ben Harper that hasn't been said before. Poignant, enigmatic, funked up soul god. These are all fitting phrases to describe one of the most talented and sadly, underrated artists of our day. Harper's third...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bowenkge - 'Once again I find myself gleefully writing an epinion about an album from the bar stool god himself, Tom Waits. What's even nicer is that it's about a new album. Well newly released anyways. On May 7th 2002, Waits' put out released two albums, the...
