More than a typical Bond film....this is art.

Fri, 2 Aug 2002 00:34:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe -

It was hard enough being a child of the eighties, but simultaneously being a loner and a young James Bond fan, almost spelled certain defeat for this humble reviewer. Like many, I was a fan of Bond, though unlike my...

Poetic Mayhem, Springs of Blood

Sat, 20 Jul 2002 03:24:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Not to beat around the bush, but this book royally screwed with my head for a long, long time. I was unfortunate enough to have picked up one of the three books that make up the compilation, back when I was very, very young.

The epitome of fun after Dark

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - You have the right to remain silent...you have the right to remain dead

It's been a long time coming, but this is it. The Tak saga will go down in the books(for me at least)as Kings most accomplished endevor...

The Great Morbid and Macabre Wild West Show

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Welcome to the World of Bad Dreams

There are places, dens that house the darkest, most sinister dreams. Hell? Maybe even Derry, where strange things are known to happen?

Or Wentworth,...

The worst Game to Movie Translation EVER!

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 15:08:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Warning! This Review will be considered quite poor to those with a prefernce for expertly written reviews! You've been warned! This film just ain't worth the effort.

Hi all! It's rare that I, the Epinion Hermit, venture out of the...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Why am I reviewing a Shooter this old?

A number of reasons actually. There are people who live and die by the Shmup (Shoot em up). These people travel to the dustiest arcades in search of long lost shooters like Xexex, Viper Phase-1, and...

Metropolis Street Racer for Dreamcast: Sega's Uber-console gets a taste of racing delight.

Wed, 12 Dec 2001 07:25:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Metropolis Street Racer

It's a very sad day indeed, when a game as incredible as Metropolis Street Racer, only receives four (soon to be five) reviews. Yes, Epinions took their sweet time in putting the product up for...

Kiss: Psycho Circus for Dreamcast: BAH.....Double BAH....

Sun, 11 Nov 2001 06:18:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - On my last dreamcast cheap-game hunt, I picked up two titles: Jet Grind Radio and KIss Psycho Circus. While I think the world of JGR, I can't understand why this game was even released. This has got to be the worst fps I've played on a console in a...

Capcom vs SNK 2 for PlayStation 2: "The time to violent fighting is come again!!"

Tue, 6 Nov 2001 04:17:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Yes, you read right. The title of this epinion is alot like my last 'Capcom vs Snk 2' review: shoddy. My last review was full of inconsiststancies, something that was made readily apparent to me after putting more time in the game. And, not being one...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - I'll be the first to admit that I know jack squat when it comes to beer. Still, I love to experiement, and am always willing to try new things. Having never had a beer in my life, I decided it was about time, and traveled down to the nearest walgreens...

Duke Nukem 3-D for Mac: SolidShoe's Classic Gaming Write-Off: Your face, your @$$, what's the difference?

Mon, 15 Oct 2001 02:31:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Duke, Duke, Duke....now this was a game. Duke Nukem 3d was without a doubt the most insane first person shooting experience that I'd ever undertaken. Until I'd played Quake 2, Duke 3d was the only fps that I ever considered a challenge to the venerable...

Quake for Windows: Solidshoe Classic Game Write-Off: Where oh where has my 2d gaming gone?

Sat, 13 Oct 2001 13:12:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Ah, Quake, the first person shooter that single handily revolutionized the way all fpswould look from that day fourth. Quake, the game was once reported to be about a manattacking evil beings with a huge hammer (Thor anyone?). Quake, the game that...

Doom for Nintendo 64: SolidShoe's Classic Game Write-OFF: Blasphemy! You call this doom?

Sat, 13 Oct 2001 11:47:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - There are those who would go so far as to say "Quake is just Doom with the ability to jump". While this couldn't be further from the truth, the creators of this bastard of a sequel seemed to have taken TO this BELIEF as seriously as a man who has fallen...

Doom II for Windows: SolidShoe Classic Game Write-OFF: Hell on Earth Equals happiness in my Kitchen

Sat, 13 Oct 2001 10:30:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Yes, Doom 2, Hell on Earth, is without a doubt the best Doom game. John Romero's brilliant level design shines in ways the original Doom, and Even Quake, could never achieve. Sure, it was more of an add-on than a sequel, but Doom two still represents...

The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time for Nintendo 64: SolidShoe's Classic Gaming Write-Off: The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Sat, 13 Oct 2001 09:19:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Ah, the bliss of gaming. To some, games simply represent a decent pass-time. To the occassional (IE: Scrubby) videogame player, it's allways what's on the surface that counts. Gaming is done on a black\white basis. Either a game is cool, or it sucks...

Nocturne for Windows: The only survival horror game anyone needs

Mon, 1 Oct 2001 04:20:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Nocturne has been on my mind for at least two years now. You see, two years ago, when I had a pentium 2 300mhz computer, no agp slot, a pci voodoo 3 card, and only 64 mb's of ram, I walked into CompUsa looking for games for my rig. That was when I saw...

Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike for Dreamcast: Capcom gets lazy.......again.....

Fri, 28 Sep 2001 03:03:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Why oh why does capcom do this to its fans? I know they are a powerhouse in the ring of fighting games, but really, if I sat down and actually attempted to count the amount of crap they've produced in their reign, I'd probably run out of fingers...

Capcom Vs SNK for Dreamcast: A game that works better on paper than in reality...

Thu, 20 Sep 2001 03:28:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - I've been playing Capcom and Snk fighting games since each respective company debuted games like StreetFighter 2 and Fatal Fury. For me, fighting games encompass two leagues: laid back and hard core. It's a bit like graduation. I consider most capcom...

NEC TurboGrafx 16: It once bombed, but now every gamer wants one....weird...

Mon, 17 Sep 2001 07:02:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Actually, it's not strange at all. The turbografx, also known as pc-engine in japan, was a little 8-bit system that never really had a chance in the state. Everyone and there momma had a nes, and the Genesis was kicking off the 16-bit revolution with...

Amalgamation of the worst kind

Sat, 15 Sep 2001 04:33:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - John Carpenter is a complex man. He is both a director and film hack. He is capable of winning over hearts with fast paced, high energy style of movie making. His films, when done right, can enduce long periods of cheer and excess grinning...

Red Faction for PlayStation 2: Don't you dare laugh!!!!! It's worthy of the hype!!!! IT IS!!!!!

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 02:54:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Yes, these are the words that were delivered by serious playstation 2 fanboy, aka, friend of solidshoe, who was seriously annoyed with my constant pokes at this game.

It was mildly hilarious to see such responses aimed at my 'innocent'...

A loaf and half of Jackie Chan

Mon, 16 Apr 2001 14:44:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - Like most americans, I too learned of Jackie Chan through the US release of RUMBLE IN THE BRONX. While it wasn't the best action movie I'd ever seen, the movie did spark my interest in the chinese superstar. Since then, I've seen nearly all of Chan's...

Street Fighter 3 Double Impact for Dreamcast: Old School never felt so good

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 23:02:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SolidShoe - I'm a firm believer in everything streetfighter. Having been an avid player since "Fighting Street" on the Turbo Duo, I can honestly say that I'm a Street Fighter Freakazoid, and that I expect the best when it comes to my fighting games. For that very...
