rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rock_On - In my mind, there are two types of cell phone users in the world; those who just need a phone for phone calls and texting, and those whose day to day needs are met through their phone. I fall somewhere in between of that spectrum with the need to have...

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:57:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Rock_On - Shame on me for taking so long to play Bungie's prized possession, Halo 3. I would blame them for H3 not exceeding all the hype, but that would be a slap in their face. Yes, Microsoft pushed the hell out of this release, but it was every person...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Rock_On - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson isn't exactly known to be an actor that can portray emotion as intense as the themes demanded in the latest football tearjerker, The Gridiron Gang. Nor have I ever seen Xzibit do any movies that are really worth...

Sun, 5 Mar 2006 22:35:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Rock_On - Billie Joe Armstrong is an entertainer, plain and simple. Green Day has entertaining down so well they could probably do it in their sleep, three times as fast, in reverse. Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool have been together for nearly 17 years, and...
