Sega Backs Up Flashy Graphics With a Great Game

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 16:47:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Time and time again Sega has proven that they have the finest developmental stable in the gaming universe. Although JGR has flashy graphics at the exterior, there is an excellent gaming experience on the inside. While Sony uses great cosmetics to sell a...

Sega Dreamcast Grey Console: Alright, the Dreamcast is Dead.... So What?

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 22:52:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - If there's one thing I've really had enough of, its people who slam the Dreamcast because "It's gonna die just like Saturn" I'm not expert here, but I do know how to read and last time I checked the reviews here are supposed to be on whether or not the...

Sony PlayStation 2 Slimline Console: Unquestionably Not Worth Buying.... as Yet

Mon, 22 Jan 2001 00:16:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Playstation 2 is simply a giant hype machine. Although PS2 looks to have a great deal of potential, right now it is simply an overpriced, overrated console that's lacking system-selling games (think Sonic Adventure and Super Mario 64).

Eidos has developed a cure for sleeplessness

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 20:44:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Disclaimer: this review is virtually identical to my review on the Dreamcast version (with only incremental changes), but since the two versions are thoroughly identical in every respect, and since this has been looked upon as one of my better...

Crash Team Racing for PlayStation 1: My Faith in Mascot Racing Games is Renewed

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 00:52:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - In an ongoing attempt to spice up my reviews I'm including the obligatory unrelated list. Without further ado I'm listing the top 3 new TV shows that didn't suck:

3. Ummmm, Battlebots was okay

2. Uh...... oh hell, lets get on with...

Sends camp value through the roof!

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 20:47:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - History IQ review:

Contestant 1: Double Dare

Contestant 2: Physical challenge

Marc Summers: #@$%!@#%!!! You little twerps! I have done other things besides Double Dare, dammit!

Oops sorry, I'm not here to review...

I don't know how else to say it, I really hate this game!

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 16:12:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Once upon a time an evil little company called Sony turned over a great video game series called Twisted Metal to an even more evil conpany called 989 Studios. It wasn't always this way though. After the phemonenal success of Twisted Metal 2, the...

Harry Potter's 4th Foray Soars and Sputters

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 02:06:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - J.K. Rowling has come out with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It is the fourth "pivotal" novel in the Harry Potter legacy. I read through the book and loved it, but later on I looked at it harder and deemed it my least favorite of the...

Spewing More Praise for Castlevania: SOTN

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 12:36:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Ah, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. For 13 years we have been packing up our whips as one of the Belmonts and kicking Dracula's butt. Well, we're still running into Dracula's castle to kick his butt, but this time its a little different from how we...

You Don't Know Jack Volume II (Mac): The lowpoint of the series

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 23:34:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Don't get me wrong, YDKJ 2 is still a good game, it just pales in comparison to other installments in the series. It still contains the hilariious questions, signature wit, and all the style one could possibly need, but it just doesn't seem as cohesive...

After 5 years its STILL fun to play!

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 19:04:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - It seems common in the PC world for a good game to spawn seemingly endless add-ons and sequels. YDKJ is no different. As of now its inspired YDKJ volume 2, (Not as good as the original) volume 3 (Pretty good) YDKJ: The Ride, (Exceptional!) Offline, (Not...

Although disappointing, it isn't necessarily bad

Mon, 22 May 2000 23:57:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - MST3K takes just about everything good about the cult TV show, and adds almost nothing. The additions include a more expensive set, a new and improved "door" sequence, and best of all, NO COMMERCIALS. Other then that, you've got yourself a...

Shut Up, Gex!

Sun, 21 May 2000 00:46:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Grrrrr. After playing through the first 5 stages of Gex, the one thing going through my mind is to make Gex SHUT UP!!! The major selling point of the game is the one-liners voiced by HBO comic Dana Gould. Although there are a few funny ones, (In...

Let's hope Gex's 3rd foray will be his last!

Fri, 19 May 2000 22:31:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko is Gex's third foray into the graveyard of 3D platformers. Although the first two games in series were fun, this installment really feels like a rerun. Your character is Gex, a telivision-addicted lizard that is trying to save...

FF is too short and repetitive to be worth buying

Thu, 18 May 2000 22:12:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Ahhhhh, Fighting Force. The first word that comes to my mind when someone mentions it is "Repetitive." In an attempt to revive the roaming brawler genre made famous by Final Fight and Streets of Rage, Eidos has made FF, which brings back the...

Take the $6,000 Arcade Masterpiece Home

Tue, 16 May 2000 21:43:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Crazy Taxi takes the arcade masterpiece home, and translates it perfectly to the Dreamcast hardware. Along with the city used in the arcade version, DC Crazy Taxi includes a completely original DC only city, and a new mode called "Crazy Box"...

SF is an original title that screams to be played

Thu, 4 May 2000 18:50:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - If there's one thing I've heard enough of, its calling Syphon Filter a MGS clone. This game was released about 4 or 5 months after MGS. To call it a clone would mean that upon Metal Gear being released, someone at 989 Studios picked up the game, decided...

Driver, although flawed, is worth the trip

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 17:31:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Driver is a good game. It has its flaws, but is a must buy for anyone who's a fan of car chases. This game puts you as an undercover cop who works as a driver for a notorious crime family to eventually defeat them, and eventually save the president!...

This time, Sega means business

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 18:38:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - After Sonic's less than impressive showing on the Saturn, I got the feeling that our favorite blue hedgehog really needed a comeback. Sonic Adventure makes Sonic's return a triumphant one, and reestablishes the Sonic series as on of the most...

Eidos has developed a cure for sleeplessness

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 00:00:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Do you have trouble getting to sleep at night? Do counting sheep, sleeping pills, and special beds not cut it for you? Then plug good ol' Fighting Force 2, and the repetitive action and pointless goals will put you to sleep in 20 minutes flat! If you...

Dave and Craig are at Jay and Conan's Mercy

Wed, 16 Feb 2000 23:34:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - NBC verses CBS, which one lshould you watch during those sleepless nights? Although I don't find either particularly good, NBC is still superior compared to the ailing Dave Letterman and the extremely obnoxious Craig Kilborn. I'm sure these comedians...

The good, the bad, and the really bad

Tue, 8 Feb 2000 23:37:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - Don't let the review title fool you, ol' sleazy does have some tricks up his sleeve. There are a few chows worthy of watching, and there's always that usual pile of poo not worth watching. While there are definitely more bad than good, there's enough...

Air Attack has its Priorities right

Tue, 8 Feb 2000 22:37:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - After the overly dismal Army Men: Sarge's Heroes, I began to lose faith in the series that 3DO has been milking for every dollar they can get for years now. However, this time they finally got it right. Air Attack is a little mission-based shooter,...

Not even worthy of the show

Sun, 12 Dec 1999 18:46:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - To start off, I will simply say that Pokemon is pure crap. As a matter of fact, it isn't even good enough to be pure crap, its bad crap. You may think the show is bad, but this is worse than the movie in almost every way.

Don't get me...

MTV the was it was meant to be

Sun, 12 Dec 1999 13:14:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Codyp - I think the thought has crossed everyone's mind at one time or another, "Why the heck don't I ever see any videos on MTV?." Well, all of you who have thought that are in luck, provided that you have satellite TV. MTV2 is a cable channel...
