Most of the games that are released to coincide with the release of the console fall into one of several categories: The first-party system sellers, the blatant ports from other systems, and the uninspired... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~308896370308 Sat, 20 Jan 2007 21:04:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_308896370308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_300280483460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - We'd been thinking about an HDTV for a long time. It must have started sometime in 2005 when a friend and I went to a Red Sox game that was shown in HD at a local theater, in lieu of actually being able to secure tickets for Fenway Park. That had been... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~300280483460 Mon, 1 Jan 2007 23:35:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_300280483460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_292568731268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - I have a commute that some would (correctly) describe as borderline insane. With no traffic, it takes me approximately 45 minutes to get to work; of course, a realistic commute adds at least 15-30 minutes of traffic in each direction, and on a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~292568731268 Sat, 16 Dec 2006 12:11:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_292568731268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_292053159556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - When I bought my 30 GB 5G iPod a few months ago, I ran into a dilemma. I knew I needed a case; the iPod scratches if you look at it funny, and I&#146ve been known to be somewhat clumsy at times, so I wanted to have a silicone case to protect the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~292053159556 Fri, 15 Dec 2006 20:30:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_292053159556?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_128902139524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - The print ad campaign for Sonic Heroes states, “It’s time for some new heroes.” I couldn’t agree more. If Sonic and crew are the heroes in question, we certainly need some new ones. The transition of Sega’s speedy blue mascot’s from two dimensions to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~128902139524 Fri, 6 Feb 2004 20:45:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_128902139524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_127283400324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - Too often, games tend to take themselves too seriously. With all the violence and high-tension situations that the majority of video games lately regard as their bread and butter, it’s always nice when a game comes along that refuses to take itself too... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~127283400324 Sun, 25 Jan 2004 21:57:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_127283400324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_127164845700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - How do you make extreme sports more extreme? That is undoubtedly the question the developers of EA Big posed to themselves upon beginning development of the third in their series of SSX games, which have served as the unofficial gold standard of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~127164845700 Sat, 24 Jan 2004 18:55:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_127164845700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_120987291268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - Since the inception of 3D games, platform games, easily one of the most popular video game genres thanks to a couple of Italian plumbers, tended to fall into one of two categories. There were the collection festivals, which would generally drop the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~120987291268 Sat, 6 Dec 2003 12:47:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_120987291268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_118135361156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - It’s kind of funny, when you think about it, that one of the newest icons in the video gaming pantheon isn’t a character created specifically for video games, like Mario or Sonic or Mega Man, but skateboarding legend Tony Hawk. Since the first Tony Hawk’... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~118135361156 Mon, 10 Nov 2003 01:19:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_118135361156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_117465714308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - Producing a sequel to a popular video game is something of a catch-22. One one hand, if you recreate more of the same game that brought your initial success, you’re likely to be accused of milking a franchise and not having any original ideas to bring to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~117465714308 Tue, 4 Nov 2003 00:47:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_117465714308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_114999332484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - Love them or hate them, you need to hand it to Sega; they’re one of the few developers who are truly willing to take a chance on something new. From innovative new concepts like Jet Grind Radio, to ambitious epics like Shenmue, to being among the first t... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~114999332484 Thu, 9 Oct 2003 10:36:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_114999332484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_114596744836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - As recently as five years ago, if you wanted a good hockey game, Electronic Arts&#146 NHL series was the only place to go. It was easily one of the most venerated sports series in console history, second only to Madden in terms of overall quality. Of co... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~114596744836 Sun, 5 Oct 2003 00:30:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_114596744836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_114036477572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - Let’s cut to the chase: The Simpsons: Hit and Run is the best Simpsons video game ever made. Of course, that’s less enthusiastic praise than it sounds. In fact, it’s more like describing your most pleasant root canal or your favorite trip to the DMV... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~114036477572 Sun, 28 Sep 2003 22:36:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_114036477572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113705389700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - It’s the most wonderful time of the year…. No, it’s not Christmas time already. It’s the beginning of hockey season, when the long three month stretch following the end of the Stanley Cup Finals is finally over, the players return to the ice, a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~113705389700 Wed, 24 Sep 2003 23:09:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_113705389700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113384328836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - It’s hard to believe that it’s been five years since the world of Pokemon was introduced to the U.S. Depending on your point of view, it likely feels like it was either just yesterday or an eternity ago that we first met Ash, Pikachu, and company.

Along with the aviation-themed Pilotwings and the guaranteed system-seller Super Mario World, Nintendo released a futuristic racer known as F-Zero. It was unpreced... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~112519908996 Thu, 11 Sep 2003 21:25:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_112519908996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_111018741380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - The Sega Dreamcast had its lifespan cut short after the release of the current generation of home co... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~111018741380 Tue, 2 Sep 2003 19:15:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_111018741380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_109569216132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - It’s easy to wax poetic about the days of the Atari 2600.

There, I said it. I know that the game involves getting a ball into a hoop, and I can recognize Michael Jordan when I see him, but that's more or less it. I don't know what a triple-double is, and, even if I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~101002088068 Mon, 26 May 2003 01:23:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_101002088068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_100970892932?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Slusy - Games based on movies, in general, have gotten a bad reputation over the years. It used to be (and, to some degree, still is) that a game based on a movie was rushed in order to coincide with a movie&#146s release, and generally were just clones of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~100970892932 Sun, 25 May 2003 18:11:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_100970892932?linkin_id=8003929
