rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GreenSpleen - I bought this game the day it was released as I am a fan of the MYST series. In this installment, the creators have brought back a game that feels more like the original MYST than it's sequal, Riven. There are distinct ages to explore each one...

Wed, 31 May 2000 19:41:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GreenSpleen - I recently purchaced this product at a CompUSA. So far, it works just like a hub is supposed to work. It's kind of hard to say something good or bad about any particular networking product based on brand name. Instead, you have to look at what it...

Thu, 25 May 2000 22:58:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GreenSpleen - I was on a budget for my newest computer. Since I was building it myself, I was able to get each product separately. These speakers first of all are Altec Lansing. In my opinion computer speakers don't get any better.

Thu, 25 May 2000 22:24:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GreenSpleen - I love games that involve space ships. When I saw this game I was at first intrigued. "How can you tell what's going on if the game is 3 dimentional?" Well, to start off with you can't. This is the first game in a while that I ran through...

Thu, 25 May 2000 15:09:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author GreenSpleen - It was inevitable, Lucasarts was bound to come out with a game like this sooner or later. This strategy game has players taking the side of either the imperial forces or the rebel forces. Other than that, the game plays nothing like you might expect a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GreenSpleen - The writings of David Eddings for some reason have captivated me. I had already read the belgariad and the mallorean.

Wed, 24 May 2000 19:34:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author GreenSpleen - I find that while the school advertizes that students are more than a number, the reality is just about the opposite. The main thing this school seems to be after is your money. This year they raised tuition by a considerable amount (I mean at least...
