Wed, 19 Feb 2003 15:09:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - In my efforts to put together a car stereo that is top-flight at sound quality while still not breaking the bank I turned to OnlineCarStereo.com.

The Story of a Horny Boy Who Meets a Dumb Blonde

Wed, 5 Feb 2003 19:54:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - Ico came out during the younger days of the PS2 and got a lot of critical praise, as well as very little public interest. Here's why I think now that time has passed by you should take a look at this underappreciated game now that it is much cheaper as...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - It’s a simple fact of life that bad things happen to good people (or bad things happen to bad people whatever your case may be), so it’s inevitable that you, like me will have to suffer from a wart at least one time in your life. Raise your hand if...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - When I was first offered up the chance to be part of a write-off about the best or worst made by Nintendo I only had one game in my mind. Perfect Dark which is made by Rareware which I do believe is a owned or is a property of Nintendo. If not...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - Everyone knows who Atari is, remember them, they were the ones who made little children pester their parents into getting one of those newfangled machines that play games on the TV. You (if you're near my age) probably have at least a few memories of...

Wed, 16 May 2001 19:34:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - Shadow of Destiny is the third PS2 game I've bought and played, but I decided it should be the first one I write about. Why? Well I don't really know why, but I can say that Shadow of Destiny is not your common everyday video game. It is a game that...

This Game Isn't Great, It's Fabulous

Wed, 16 May 2001 19:28:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - As the constant skeptic when someone says "Best Game Ever" like the Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons, I was extremely doubtful that any game would be able to topple my personal favorite since 1997 Final Fantasy VII. Why should I, it had maintained its...

What Happened To You Nintendo?

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - Since the early days of my gaming career Nintendo has always been a company you could rely on to bring the best of the gaming world to you. With the great NES, SNES and GameBoy to their name, you would assume that they couldn't do any wrong.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - If you ever wonder "What should I get now that I've got a gaming system?" Here is my answer "A subscription to a gaming magazine" (any magazine is better than none). Too many people have gotten sick of playing video games for the sheer fact that they...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - Doom 64 is the beginning of my disenchantment with GamePro magazine (a Perfect Score...eek) as well as one of the reasons I've become sick of the N64. I owned a N64 a year before I bought a Playstation and got quickly tired of the loads of...

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 17:35:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - When the PS2 came out and I knew I couldn't afford it for quite a while I went into a depression and figured on doing very little in the terms of video game reviews until I got one.

Excuse Me Miss, Could You Point Me To A Better Magazine?

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 17:25:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - The fact that my brother is huge into car audio there always seems to be one magazine or other lying around for me to read about it. Auto Sound & Security used to be my favorite by far. It had comparable features as the others, but it also had...

Fri, 27 Oct 2000 17:59:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - Calypso returns again to grant the wish of the winner of the Twisted Metal tournament. The only problem is the fact the whole thing has changed so much that is barely recognizable (if it weren't for that polk-a-dot ice cream truck it wouldn't be...

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 16:40:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - I bought this game so I could see what all the hype from the PC gamers was. I'm assuming it is a mere shadow of its PC brethren or its just sad what passes as entertainment on the PC. Either way I wasn't too impressed it doesn't have great gameplay or...

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 16:34:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - Vagrant Story is one of the most innovative games in a long time and it's made by the best game making company in existence (SquareSoft). With those two things on it's side it is no surprise that it is an excellent game. You had just better be...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - I know Suikoden is a old game, but it is still highly regarded that has spawned a very popular sequel. Considering so many people rave about this game I thought I'd try it out. This game ended up being a game that didn't really impress me nor...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - Boy am I glad that when I went to Target to buy Knockout Kings I opened the packaging and found a demo disc instead of the game in it’s place (don’t ask me how, but I’m telling the truth).
