A controller by any other name ....

Tue, 22 Jan 2002 17:24:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Gavvin - It seems that I am very hard on game controllers. I buy a new controller at least once a year. The only game I play that requires a controller is EA Sports NHL series, but I DO tend to play several seasons. For the last 4 years I have used Gravis...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gavvin - "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" by J. K. Rowling is the second book in the series and continues the excellent writing from the first book. After finishing the first book 2 days after I got it, I was very eager to get into this one as...

A Great Start to a Fabulous Series

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 11:38:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gavvin - It took me a long time to get to the point that I actually wanted to read the Harry Potter books. I am generally turned off by great media hype and few things in the last year have had as much hype as this series by J. K. Rowling.

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 12:35:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Gavvin - I have used Netscape as my browser of choice since version 0.94, so I feel fairly qualified to judge this latest and long awaited release. I loaded it at work on NT 4.0 and at home on Windows 98.

Han Solo LIVES!

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 13:29:25 GMT
