Wow, what a machine

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 12:10:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - I recently had the opportunity to test drive two great cars: the BMW M3 and the Audi S4. Contrary to my expectations, it was the Audi, not the BMW that blew me away.

The S4 has everything you want in an automobile. It has great styling an...

Postponed: Low Class

Thu, 18 Nov 1999 12:41:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - Ponderosa, oh where should I begin??? I don't know if it was the surly help, the crappy food or the less than respectable clientele that did it to me. Needless to say I was not impressed with this restaurant. There steak is one steak above McDonald's...

Best In Class

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 16:45:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - The Nissan Xterra is a great move forward for SUVs. Before if you wanted a new SUV for 20 grand you had to make a choice. You could get a true SUV that kicked butt off road but was horrible on the pavement; the Jeep Cherokee. You could get the best...

The best SUV, period

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 16:36:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the best SUV there is. That is if you consider an SUV to be a truck that rides well on the highway, kicks butt off road, carries around your stuff with ease and has nice styling.

There are trucks that do these individual...

Good if it cost 10,000 less

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 16:27:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - The Land Rover Discovery is a nice truck, but it is over priced. A Jeep Grand Cherokee is much better and costs significantly less.

Don't get me wrong, Land Rovers are very good off road machines possessing a high level of technical sophistication,...

It's sad that people buy these

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 16:18:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - I really think america is getting bad. I mean, toyota can market a celica with big tires and call it an SUV. I would love to see someone take a RAV-4 off road, or even over a curb. The Nissan Xterra, Jeep Cherokee or Jeep Wrangler would be a far...

A great value

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 14:24:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - The AVR 5 is provides the best value for a pro-logic receiver available today. It has dolby pro-logic, and has 5.1 AC-3 dolby digital inputs. This means that all you have to do is buy a DVD player with a built in decoder and you are ready to go.

Speed with no refinement

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 14:08:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - I'll give the camaro one thing, it's fast, very fast. Unfortunately it handles like a pig, performs horribly in bad weather, possess terrible styling and a ridiculously unrefined interior.

When I graduated college I wanted a fast car. So I went...

Crocodile Hunter

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 13:51:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - Animal Planet is awesome for one reason; the Crocodile Hunter. This crazy Australian guy puts on one of the best shows on TV.

Most nature shows are kind of boring. They show the animals and have some nasal narrator talking the whole time. The...

The best phone

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 13:39:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - AT&T One Rate is already the best service out there, especially if you have to travel. For 90 bucks a month you get 600 minutes of air time with free long distance and no roaming fees. That means you can make calls from anywhere in the US to...

F Sports Illustrated

Fri, 5 Nov 1999 17:35:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - ESPN is like Sports Illustrated except that it is a good magazine. It really is sports center in magazine form. It has all the wit, sarcasm and cool facts of the tv program. I especially like Dan Patrick's Questions at the end of each issue. ESPN has...

Awesome if you are a real man

Fri, 5 Nov 1999 17:13:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - Warning, this is not a magazine for "sensitive 90's men". This is a magazine for men who like beer, women, sports and cars (real men :). How can you go wrong with articles like "One night stand escape strategies", "How to...

Battlecruiser 3000 AD 2: Only for certain people

Fri, 5 Nov 1999 16:52:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - Battlecruiser 3000 AD is possibly the most complex and unique computer game ever produced. That said, some people will love it, and some will hate it.

This game has a STEEP learning curve. It takes a lot of time and dedication to learn how to...

AD&D on a computer

Fri, 5 Nov 1999 16:40:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - If you like playing AD&D or ever liked playing AD&D as a kid stop reading this review right now. Go out to the store and buy Baldur's Gate right now.

This game is great if you love AD&D. It follows the second edition rules very, very...

Game of the Year

Fri, 5 Nov 1999 16:31:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - Wow! That was my first reaction when I loaded up Homeworld for the first time; and I was only playing the tutorial.

Homeworld is a revolutionary title in the real time strategy genre. It has the most amazing graphics engine I have ever seen. The...

Don't believe the Hype

Fri, 8 Oct 1999 13:23:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - The Blair Witch project was definitely the second most over-hyped movie of the summer (after star wars of course). After seeing this movie you will definitely believe they only spent $30,000 dollars. I think the reason this movie scared people was that...

This movie is actually good despite Keanu

Fri, 8 Oct 1999 13:16:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - When I first saw the commercial for this movie (the one where Keanu says "whoah") I figured it would have to suck. Fortunately I was wrong. Despite Keanu Reeve's complete lack of acting ability coupled with his pathetic attempts to shoot a...

Cute, Cheap and Underpowered

Fri, 8 Oct 1999 12:44:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - The Kia Sportage comes with a prodigious set of options considering the price. However, it is seriously underpowered. The four-wheel drive is actually quite good and shifts on the fly. The suspension handles pot-holes fairly well, but the Sportage...

Excellent Value

Fri, 8 Oct 1999 12:38:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Peter_D_Anderson - The 1999 Mercury Cougar V6 is a superb value. It has a very large trunk, excellent handling and good acceleration. In addition, it comes standard with impressive options (power everything). Make sure you get a manual transmission. The automatic...
