Its level of violence, sexual and public misconduct and, later, profanity raised the bar for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428328455812 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:16:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428328455812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425909849732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - The &#147stealth genre&#148 hasn&#146t always been one favored by yours truly. I've generally kept my feelings neutral concerning these more tact-oriented titles as my taste in playable entertainment yearns for that of a faster-paced experience as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425909849732 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 18:36:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425909849732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424161349252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - I can't say I've come across too many games that I felt really had no reason to exist. It should go without saying at this point that the World War II FPS well has run dry and, thanks to "Call of Duty" and its sequels, the last bits of innovation... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424161349252 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 15:51:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424161349252?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423740214916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - The "Rainbow Six" series seemed to had already come and gone in terms of mainstream popularity by the time "Vegas" rolled around for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC nearly two years ago. The first game in the long-running series was a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423740214916 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:51:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423740214916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422996315780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Perhaps I was too harsh on &#147BlackSite: Area 51&#148 in my PC review of the much-maligned first-person shooter. Perhaps I wasn&#146t harsh enough. Whatever the case may be, let it be known that Midway&#146s sci-fi/action/alien romp is NOT a bad... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422996315780 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 15:51:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422996315780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422129929860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Review of the Limited Collector's Edition Videogames can be the most entertaining form of media available if interesting ideas are put into the right hands. 2001's "Max Payne" and its 2003 sequel, "Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422129929860 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 20:07:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422129929860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_421727604356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - I&#146ll start this review by stating that I&#146m a big fan of videogame developer Infinity Ward. Their breakthrough smash &#147Call of Duty&#148 is one of my all-time favorite games and its sequel, &#147Call of Duty 2,&#148 is right up... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~421727604356 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 15:45:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_421727604356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420819930756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - I&#146ve finally broken down and bought an Xbox 360. I&#146ve been a PC gamer for years, but the price difference ($350 for the console, as opposed to $1,000 &#150 give or take &#150 for the tower and monitor) is something that kept staring me in my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420819930756 Tue, 4 Mar 2008 14:47:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420819930756?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_415060364932?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Wasted potential is truly a terrible thing. Midway&#146s BlackSite: Area 51 isn&#146t just wasted potential, it&#146s the very definition of it. To find out exactly where things went awry, take a trip to Google (or your favorite search engine of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~415060364932 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:42:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_415060364932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410537397892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Jesus H. Christ! That was the colorful exclamation that quickly leapt out of my mouth upon my initial run-through of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan&#146s latest endeavor, 8 Diagrams. My second and third listens, however, delivered to me an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410537397892 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 15:03:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410537397892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410431950468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Twin brothers and gangsta rap duo Kane & Abel&#146s first record, The 7 Sins, was released in 1996 on Master P&#146s No Limit label with little fanfare. The 11 track LP was high on the nihilism, low on the optimistic insight, and cut the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410431950468 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:56:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410431950468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_408782933636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Note: This is a review of the unrated version. What is the desired worth of a torture flick in today's world of PG-13 horror films and summer blockbusters? The first Hostel was a major success, in director Eli Roth's opinion, because it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~408782933636 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 18:04:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_408782933636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_408634363524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Note: This is a review of the unrated version. Live free or Die Hard, indeed. The best Die Hard picture since the original (though this entry's overt modernization could have something to do with me enjoying it so) and it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~408634363524 Tue, 27 Nov 2007 02:09:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_408634363524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_400014675588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - "300" is one of the most stylish, visually arresting action epics I've ever seen. Horror fans should remember "300's" director, Zack Snyder, as the man who helmed the excellent "Dawn of the Dead" remake just three short years ago. He... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~400014675588 Sun, 5 Aug 2007 20:48:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_400014675588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_391564332676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Note: This is a review of the unrated version. Wes Craven's 1977 cult "classic," "The Hills Have Eyes," was more than due for an updating. And if any director could update it and make it valid again, it was French horror director... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~391564332676 Sun, 15 Jul 2007 20:02:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_391564332676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_388702768772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Note: This is a review of the unrated version. I would have never thought that, in my 20 years of living, a simple remake from a fairly inexperienced filmmaker could cause such an uproar. Alexandre Aja's 2006 remake of "The Hills Have... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~388702768772 Mon, 9 Jul 2007 23:30:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_388702768772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_357366075012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Mr. Serv-On never got the shine that other ex-No Limit soldiers received, but, by and large, he was one of the better rappers on Master P&#146s label. After his departure, he was forgotten by just about everyone but the No Limit die-hards and Dirty South... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~357366075012 Fri, 4 May 2007 17:32:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_357366075012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_354127875716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Hip-Hop duo Kane & Abel are probably more known for their criminal activities than they are for their music. Daniel & David Garcia were caught up on drug charges not too long ago, released from prison, and not much has been heard from them since. But... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~354127875716 Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:05:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_354127875716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_353691930244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Back in 1995, No Limit was just another record label looking for its big break. Master P had just released his fourth album, 99 Ways to Die, a few months prior to this, Tru&#146s third (but their first with P and his brothers, a considerably young... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~353691930244 Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:16:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_353691930244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_352278449796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Has it really been 15 years since Master P debuted with Get Away Clean on In-A-Minute Records, the one-time parent company of No Limit? When P first made waves in the underground, he was hardly a force to be reckoned with; no voice of his own,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~352278449796 Mon, 23 Apr 2007 14:16:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_352278449796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_350607740548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - No Limit Soldiers Compilation: We Can&#146t Be Stopped, based on title alone, seems like an utterly useless album concept. Since most of No Limit&#146s &#147solo&#148 releases are comparable to compilations to begin with, what exactly was the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~350607740548 Thu, 19 Apr 2007 22:08:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_350607740548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_349152841348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Trick Daddy, born Maurice Young, has amassed quite a bit of both popularity and clout with Rap fans below the Mason Dixon line. With his current stardom, it’s almost ironic to think that six and a half years ago he was simply trying to break himself out... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~349152841348 Mon, 16 Apr 2007 18:38:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_349152841348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_342200258180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - Like many of No Limit&#146s current and former soldiers, Silkk the Shocker is not the most talented of rappers. But that never stopped him from achieving platinum (Charge It 2 da Game) and even multi-platinum (Made Man) status. By the time... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~342200258180 Sun, 1 Apr 2007 22:03:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_342200258180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_342178107012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - An earmark of Master P&#146s formula was to haphazardly imitate whatever was hip at the time in the Rap game. When P and his No Limit empire blew up, double-disc albums were a hot commodity. The late, great Tupac Shakur had released a double-disc set... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~342178107012 Sun, 1 Apr 2007 20:29:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_342178107012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_342119190148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DVON - During this particular moment in No Limit history, Master P&#146s once unshakeable empire was finding itself on shaky ground. They were still selling records, but some of their more talented soldiers had already jumped ship (Mr. Serv-On, Fiend, Mia X,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~342119190148 Sun, 1 Apr 2007 18:00:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_342119190148?linkin_id=8003929
