Great Mini DV Starter

Sat, 31 Jul 2004 15:34:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - When our son was born, we didn't have a camcorder to record those special occasions that so many people save. We vowed to use our tax return to pick up a camcorder. In February, I started researching camcorders. I wanted a MiniDV camera so that I...

If Tony Hawk made a basketball game...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - Basketball games have been one of the most prolific genres in video games since the beginning. Every console has had at least one incarnation of America's one true sport. Each time the game changes a little bit, to try to capture the sport in its true...

Tony Hawk's Latest

Sat, 14 Dec 2002 17:03:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I recently was given an XBOX for my birthday, along with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. What a great combo.

First, if you have never played any of the Tony Hawk games, then start with this one, and never look back. This game, as the previous...

Into the garbage chute, flyboy!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I picked up this little guy at Wal-Mart for $15. It was originally $22. I saved $7 by going to the other Wal-Mart here in town.

I've been looking at this Han Solo in Stormtrooper disguise for some time. I was interested in it because there...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I just stopped using my Ericsson R280LX with AT&T recently, because I was able to get a second line with VoiceStream. My R280LX was acting up, and rather than pay to get it fixed, I opted to get a different phone with a different company.

I...

Age of (the) Empires, too!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - A long time ago, in our own galaxy, LucasArts put out quality software that usually brought up the whole genre. X-Wing was the first Space Combat sim that was any good, and (almost) every title in the X-wing series was really good, and brought new...

Sorry, you don't look 17.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - When I found out when this movie was opening, I jumped at the first chance I had to see it. I'd have loved to see the sneak preview, but in my town, they really don't have those often.

We arrived a little late for the 7:15 showing because my...

What's a 3 letter word for this game? FUN!

Thu, 26 Jul 2001 17:57:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I've been a fan of Hoyle's computer games since my fiancée's uncle got her the Board Games for Christmas one year. So I like to try these games from time to time.

I picked up Word games because my mother and my fiancée are both into word...

Not as clumsy or random as a blaster...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I have always wanted the 12" dolls from Star Wars. I had a few friends that had some of the original 12" dolls. I've always felt them to be the unreachable goal for me. The smaller toys are reasonably priced at $5 or so, where as you'd spend...

It's amazing what you can do...

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 13:18:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - Kevin Bacon is probably one of the best actors in Hollywood. He can play different characters and be convincing in them all. This movie is no different, the only difference is that we rarely 'see' Kevin Bacon.

This movie has a beautiful...

Is that all you got, bub?

Sat, 29 Jul 2000 22:18:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I haven't played a fighting game on the playstation in some time. I have never really liked fighting games on consoles. First, you usually don't have a joystick, and can miss combos and moves. When playing against your boys, it's not good to say, my...

How Can I Pass That Up?

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 12:12:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I owned a cell phone a few years back, and enjoyed the convenience of having a phone with me at all times, especially when I was in that one accident...(not while using the phone!)

The phone cost $100, which was the exact amount that my bonus...

You Wanna Piece Of Me?

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 11:36:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - Comic books don't crossover to movies too well, usually. And although I've never READ an X-Men comic book, I have seen enough and know enough about them to get by. I have to say that this crossover (dare I say, x-over) is successful. This movie has all...

Um, Can Somebody Call Me an Ambulance?

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 12:20:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I had first heard of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater about a year ago. I was in a video rental store and some kid came in asking the employees if they had it yet. At the time I didn't have a Playstation or think that skating games were fun.

Fast...

Can't Keep a good thing going

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I first heard of Alta Vista's free internet service when I was living in NorthWest Florida. I wanted to use it, but there were no local numbers. So when I moved to Waco, I set up an account and began using it immediately (well, after I put in a new...

Time Well Spent!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I was first introduced to the previous version of Radica:'s solitaire overseas. We were sent over to Bahrain when Saddam started acting up. Someone's wife had packed this game with his luggage. Needless to say, this was the most popular game in camp...

Big Bang for The Buck

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 00:18:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I work for a retail outlet, and therefore am privy to certain deals that come along. Someone had bought the HP 9110i CDRW drive and had returned it. We always sell returned items on clearance, so I earmarked it for my later purchase.

After...

More than I expected

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 16:51:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I had first seen a trailor for this film with 'Meet Joe Black' still fresh in my mind. 'Meet Joe Black' was a huge disappointment for me, so why would I want to see another Pitt movie, and about a 'Fight Club' to boot?

Finally, I rent this...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I picked this game up from Hastings Books and Records for $4. Inventory sale. I loved the original Super Mario Kart, so of course I'm buying this game for $4!!!!

First, the 2 player part of this game rules! I'm sure the 3- and 4- player kicks...

All In The Family

Sun, 18 Jun 2000 15:03:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - I believe that certain tastes are hereditary. Taste in cars and taste in beer are two of the main ones. I, like my father before me, love Chevy's and Miller.

Back when my father drank, his beer of choice was Miller Lite. I followed his lead...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - Having played the PnP (Pen and Paper) version of both Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse, my interest was piqued when I had seen in a magazine that both RPG's (role playing games) were going to be released for the computer. V:TM...

Melts in your ears, not in your hands

Sat, 6 May 2000 12:11:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - When the first video from this album came out (My Name Is...), I was thinking, 'Wow, great, another white rapper, boy that's just what we need.' I saw the video a couple of times, but never thought anything about it afterwards.

Fast forward...

Cube's Party

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 10:16:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - This disc has been touted the most anticipated record of 1999. I think it was also the most anticipated record of 2000. When something is 'most anticipated' that means many will be disappointed, die hard fans will be in love again, and the artist sells a...

Can't Buy a Bucket!

Mon, 3 Apr 2000 22:26:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - My brother wanted to play a basketball game, so I rented this from the local rental house. He wanted NBA Live '99, but I figured the newest would be better, and since they were out of NBA Live '00, I got this game.

At first, this looked...

First there must BE a Romeo

Mon, 27 Mar 2000 14:31:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Brood_McEto - After I saw the preview to this movie, I thought, ‘Wow, That will be great. Two crime families at war, and a guy from one seeing a girl from another. Classic stuff.’ That was a bit misleading. The movie is only somewhat like that.

I’d wanted...
