A realistic Brute Force review...

Sat, 31 May 2003 19:50:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - I use the term "realistic" in the title for this review because a lot of gaming sites and magazines touted this game as being just like Halo. Being that a lot of people love Halo, the result could be quite a few disappointed buyers who fell for a...

A quick and dirty review...

Sat, 15 Mar 2003 00:17:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - Xenosaga has finally arrived to sate the hunger of us Xenogears fans dying for a continuation of the series. Instead of a continuation, we get a complete redo by the same man who penned Xenogears yet was unhappy with the end result (although I personally...

Final Release review

Fri, 21 Jun 2002 12:46:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - Here is my reveiw of the final release. Once again, Epinions doesn't have a section for it, so I put it here.

GAMEPLAY:

Neverwinter Nights (from here on described as NWN) is the next chapter, or rather "incarnation" or the long running...

Review of Playstation 2 version

Sun, 17 Mar 2002 01:43:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - As always, Epinions fails to set up a review page for yet another new PS2 game. So I thought I'd review the PS2 version here in case some PS2 owners were looking here to get a general review of the game.

GRAPHICS: I'll start with graphics to...

Tue, 11 Dec 2001 00:38:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - When this game was about to be released, it was preceded by tons of previews that claimed you could do "whatever you want". This is hardly true. You can NOT do whatever you want. You still have to do missions to go further in the game. You can NOT choose...

Sun, 2 Dec 2001 01:03:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - There is a seriously disappointing element of this game. If you are a fan of the series, you'll get the game anyway so I won't ruin it. But if you are not sure of purchasing this game I have some key elements listed at the bottom of this review in a...

An honest opinion...

Fri, 9 Nov 2001 04:05:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is a great movie to watch. The amount of detail will impress any and all movie fans and even will impress those who used to drool over the cutscenes from all the next-generation Final Fantasy video games.

A long wait after this book...

Fri, 5 Oct 2001 00:18:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - I've reviewed the previous two books in the series, so as with the Clash of Kings review, I refer everyone back to my first review of the first book: A Game of Thrones. Any information below is intended for those who have read the previous books. If...

Mon, 1 Oct 2001 02:09:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - The easiest way for me to review this game is to somewhat compare it to the Madden series (specifically Madden 2001). The reason I do this is that Madden games have always been great while NBA Live and NHL games were nowhere near as impressive. And any...

DVD review

Mon, 24 Sep 2001 02:21:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - You've got to at least give Stallone credit. He knows how to write a solid script and turn it into an enjoyable movie. However, Driven really, really, really, just seems like Rocky V on wheels. You've got the same situation where Stallone's whole purpose...

BUY THIS BOOK TOO!

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 21:07:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - For a rather complex review of this book's elements, refer to my review of the first book "A Game of Thrones". There is just too much detail to retype, it would be easier for me to just refer you to my initial review.

As for this book, it...

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 00:45:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - Vagrant Story is a game that got mounds of praise and never quite became a well-known game but will always be an underground classic. The story of Vagrant Story (VS) is somewhat of a sidepiece to the story of Final Fantasy Tactics. Both games feature...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - I read this book because my mom told me it was really good. My brother also said it was good, but I was hesitant to read it because my brother likes some pretty moronic things. But my mom also informed me of some other sci-fi fantasy books that I feel I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - It's been a looooong time since a good Twisted Metal game came out. I've never played Twisted Metal 1 because I got my first Playstation after Twisted Metal 2 came out. Twisted Metal 2 had been the considered the overall best game of the series after the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec has arrived on U.S. shores and it easily becomes the one forefront title on the Playstation 2. Since Gran Turismo 2000 on the original Playstation has been revamped as Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec on the Playstation 2, the result is a...

IMPORTANT NEW INFO!

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 04:58:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - OK, this is some great news. Before I talk about the news, I'll describe the situtation this game fell under. Squaresoft made this game as a kind of side project to their Final Fantasy series. After Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest's failure on the Super...

Review of the DVD

Wed, 13 Jun 2001 03:47:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - The Cast Away DVD comes on 2 discs and is quite a package. The majority of DVD fans will tell you that Fight Club is the hands-down best DVD product on the market. A lot of people will also say Se7en on DVD is an equally impressive packaging. Cast Away...

The real deal on Lateralus

Sat, 19 May 2001 02:47:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - Tool fans have had to wait quite a while for this album. Luckily, Tool played it smart by releasing the Salival DVD/VHS box sets to serve a both an appetizer and a treat for fans who were beginning to worry that Tool would break up and Maynard would join...

Shakespeare for non-Shakespeare fans

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 01:46:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - UPDATED INFO: I've added a section on the DVD contents toward the bottom.

After a strange introduction, the viewer might wonder what the heck he's watching. After getting over the confusion of the first couple minutes before Titus and his...

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 04:00:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - As of this review, no person has NOT recommended this movie on Epinions. There's a reason for that and it's because this movie, wether it offends you or not, gets too deep under your skin for you to say anything bad about it.

The movie is...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - Some people will tell you that in order to fully enjoy this game, you had to have played Chrono Trigger for the Super Nintendo. This isn't really true. If you played Chrono Trigger, all you will get from this game is little inside-joke things and only an...

A historic guitar.

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 02:47:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - Leo Fender's Stratocaster design is a well-known guitar. Sure, it's no Gibson Les Paul but it stands in the same category and is the favorite of almost every electric blues guitarist, including Eric Clapton.

The body is comfortable and holding...

An honest review... [UPDATED]

Tue, 27 Mar 2001 02:02:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - I've knocked my review score from 5 stars down to 4 because it has been recently revealed that a remake is to be done on the Playstation 2 with much better graphics and possibly remixed audio, as well as extra little treats and the chance for the...

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 02:52:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - To start with, I am NOT a fan of the religious football phenominon. However, I think the game itself is great. I don't know who anybody is unless they play in a Super Bowl and I hardly understand the terminology and play names. But I have a basic...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author PimpOil - Timeplitters has constantly been referred to as the game made by the original Goldeneye N64 team. Don't let that fool you. The game is nowhere near as a complete package as Goldeneye. For one thing, the "Story" mode, if you can even call it that, has NO...
