3DForce2. It’s cheap, but is it good?

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 16:58:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - When I ordered my PC from my local mom and pop PC store, I requested an nVIDIA GeForce2 video card. At first I was disappointed to see they had placed a cheap knockoff card in it’s place. Who ever heard of Jaton anyway? But after running...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - It's the future and you are mercenary pilot Jake Logan, doing odd jobs for the mega-corporations. Does the theme sound familiar. Well, there are no surprises here. Naturally, in the future the mega-corporations rule space with an iron fist...

Dude, I used dude in my title… sweet

Tue, 17 Jul 2001 00:12:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - Sometimes a movie comes alone which redefines it's genre. A movie so well written that it makes people stand up and take notice of the excellence to which the industry as a whole strives. The seamless merging of actor and director. Dude, Where's My...

One for All Cinema 5 Universal Remote Control: One For All: Five remotes in one

Fri, 15 Jun 2001 18:25:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - The question you are probably asking is: Can I finally throw those other 5 remotes in the trash? Well, the short answer is: Probably not, but maybe you can put them away in a drawer most of the time. (Or use them to prop up a wobbly table leg,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - NOTE: This is a review of the WorldWar series of novels. Epinions lists this topic as ‘Worldwar: Striking the Balance’ (the fourth book in the series), but has a link and shows the cover to ‘In The Balance’, the first book in...

Fri, 27 Apr 2001 13:25:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - PC games where you play a god are not a new thing. But Lionhead Studio’s latest offering does breathe some new life into this genre.

The Story:

The story goes like this. A couple of primitive villagers on some far off...

Car chases, shootouts, and attitude

Wed, 20 Dec 2000 17:06:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - This movie is neither deep, nor contemplative. It is however, an enjoyable diversion to be taken for what it is, a cheesy 70’s style action movie, set in the present. I must admit, I have never seen the original Shaft, so I can’t tell you how faithful...

Worth the price of admission

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 19:21:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - The first thing I’d like to point out is, the more you know about this movie before you see it, the less you’re going to like it. Your curiosity is what keeps you watching this movie. Without that, there probably won’t be enough to hold you interest...

Don't let this one pass you by

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 02:41:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - This is the best adventure game I’ve played in years. If you are even remotely interested in adventure games, you need to take a look at this one. I saw this game reviewed on GameSpot (pc.gamespot.com) before it was available in the stores. I...

Not a Comedy

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 12:58:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - When I saw this movie in the video store I had never heard of it or seen any reviews. The box showed a picture of what looked like a party with people laughing, and it starred Danny Devito, so I thought it was a comedy. This is not a comedy. It’s a 20...

OK, maybe not -everything- you want to know about Aruba, but I'll try to give a few tips.

My wife and I went to Aruba on our honeymoon for 10 days, and it was the best vacation...

A bargain bin must buy

Thu, 2 Nov 2000 17:50:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Programmer2k - If you somehow missed this game when it was new, reach into that bargain bin and pick it up now. I bought the multi-pack (The game and the ‘Core Contingency’ expansion pack), and have enjoyed it long after I got my twenty dollars worth out of it.
