The deserving champion

Wed, 24 May 2000 10:29:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - Peter Luger's Steakhouse has been winning the Zagat's Best Steakhouse of New York for so long (16 years running) that it's time to retire the award. It'll be like the Cy Young award in baseball: good candidates will win, but will never be as good as the...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - My roommate and I watched a large spider slowly die in the light fixture of our room in Benaglia Hall at Stonehill College. We regularly saw about 3 or 4 insects a day during our stay. I was once attacked by a half-dollar sized spider while in the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - My parents' purchased the Logitech MouseMan Wheel for their home computer. After striking out with a number of generic mice, they wanted one that was comfortable and sturdy; I recommended they get a Logitech mouse or trackball.

Battlefield Earth: A sci-fi mess

Wed, 17 May 2000 19:08:46 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - With Battlefield Earth, John Travolta says he has finally done the project he wants, causing me to hope that he never again gets to do what he wants. Since his come-back in Pulp Fiction, he's done a number of good films: Primary Colors, the Thin Red...

Among the best modems you can buy.

Wed, 17 May 2000 14:23:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - I recently purchased a Dell computer for home use (read my Epinion on Dell computers!!). My house does not have LAN or DSL connection, so I purchased a 3Com 56K internal Faxmodem after reading the positive reviews on Epinions. I must say I'm quite...

Gladiator

Tue, 9 May 2000 13:39:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - Russell Crowe deserves better than Gladiator, especially after his tour de force in last year's the Insider. He's tough enough for a gladiator film, but that isn't the issue: he has a vitality that most of our actors don't and it is belittled by formula...

Pricey, but worth it if you can afford it.

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 19:35:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - So I used to buy only Gateway computers. Had no problem with them for years...until a couple years ago. The thing crashed on me twice, forcing me to send the entire machine back to the company. Not only that, but I received horrible customer service and...

Sturdy, reliable, some great features!

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 17:47:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - I received a Dell computer for my birthday a couple years ago, and while the machine has yet to give me any problems whatsoever, the Dell keyboard is a piece of garbage. It's cheaply made, the keys broke quickly, the spacebar became dysfunctional within...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: TrackMan Marble: Design Perfected

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 17:33:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - I have limited desk space at school and my Logitech mouse just was not cutting it. There was nothing with it, as it was a fine mouse: well-designed, rarely needed cleaning, never acted up. With the introduction of new knick knacks and a larger keyboard...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: SideWinder: Worth the money.

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 17:20:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - I tried my luck with a number of inexpensive, generic gamepads. I was not successful with any of them, as I encountered compatibility problems with many games and video game emulation programs. Sick of this ordeal, I bit the bullet and invested in a...

It ain't Irish, but it's damn good

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 14:58:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - Ah, Killian's Irish Red. Nothing Irish about it: it's made in America by Coors, which has been rather successful at marketing the "Irish" part of it. When I went to get some for St. Patrick's Day, it was sold out. At any rate, it's among my...

The best stuff by one of the best around.

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 12:03:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - Anyone who likes the New Bomb Turks knows that their early singles are a bit pricey. I've seen the first split 7" with Gaunt go for around 60 bucks. And let's not even get into the difficulty of tracking ALL of them down. Not all rocknrollers have...

Fun, but not as good as we expect from EA.

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 11:32:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - If you're looking for a golf game that gets the reality of the sport, look elsewhere. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 knows it's not a brilliantly realistic sim. It's an entertaining game with some nice features. Unfortunately, the games suffers in many...

Open Your Eyes (Abre los Ojos)

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 20:49:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - What really holds Alejandro Amenabar's "Open Your Eyes" together is the acting of Penelope Cruz, Spain's beautiful, doe-eyed starlet who is on the verge of worldwide stardom. She steals the show here and even detractors of the film will watch...

Sublime, austere masterpiece; 1998's best.

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 19:51:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - There are three or four faces in the history of cinema that I will forever remember. Knowing Renee Maria Falconetti’s face from Carl T. Dreyer’s the Passion of Joan of Arc is to know the face of silent film; perhaps just as memorable are Jean-Pierre...

Good ol' fun on the Dreamcast.

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 17:25:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - Puzzle games are not for everyone, so ChuChu Rocket may turn some people off. But for the puzzle lovers out there, ChuChu Rocket will provide days of unadulterated, multiplayer enjoyment.

ChuChu Rocket takes the ancient cat-and-mouse theme and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - In Carrier, you play as one of two government agents sent to find out what happened to an aircraft carrier that has lost communication with its base. Apparently, an ancient organism has taken over the ship and turned the crew into murdering mutants; it...

Better than Wolfenstein? Ha! No way!

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 16:53:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - Nazis. Everyone hates them, everyone loves to kill them in video games. They are the ultimate symbol of evil on Earth, the greatest enemy the world has ever faced. But killing Nazis alone does not a good game make.

Mortyr is basically aping...

For Snowboarders only.

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 16:35:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - I decided to purchase Boarder Zone on a whim. It was cheap--only 25 bucks, and I had tons of fun playing Cool Boarders on Playstation. Unfortunately, Boarder Zone does not fully pay off.

There are some good things about Boarder Zone. The...

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 16:18:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - I remember fondly my days of playing the first Command and Conquer. It was one of those special games--one that kept me up at all hours of the night and made me forget about sleeping and eating. Of course, I awaited Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun with...

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 16:09:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - High Heat Baseball 200 is one of the best baseball games of all time, so I awaited its sequel with high hopes. Now that I've played it, I must say that 3DO has delivered once again.

As expected, the graphics is much improved over High Heat...

Give the man a camera, he'll create a party.

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 20:27:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - Given the opportunity to be a character in any prominent film of 1999, I would unhesitatingly choose Emir Kusturica’s Black Cat, White Cat. To people familiar with Kusturica, the film shouldn’t come as surprise; Black Cat, White Cat is a boisterous,...

The Hookers will rock you.

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 22:36:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - The Hookers! My how they've changed since the first 7" from a couple years back. They rocked my rear end with that one, as well as the following two 7"s, especially 12 Gauge Reaction. I missed them by a few days in Boston with Nashville P**sy...

A Gaming masterpiece.

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 18:49:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Error44 - I had never played the AD&D Planescape world; in fact, I had no idea it even existed. I haven't played the pencil and paper AD&D games in years, but I was fairly familiar with their PC game outings--Dark Sun, Eye of the Beholder, Baldur's Gate...
