Jak, Daxter and I had a great time

Wed, 17 Apr 2002 15:29:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - I should start off by saying that I don't generally play platform games. They're usually too repetitive and simple for my taste. However, I had just finished up Grand Theft Auto 3 and didn't have a new PS2 game to play yet, and, well, the commercials...

Kiss of the Dragon fights to the top

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 22:26:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - Ever since I've known of him, I've loved Jet Li. His wuxia is amazing, he perfectly portrays whatever role he's in, and he's just a joy to see on screen. His latest offering, Kiss of the Dragon, continues the tradition. Supported by Bridget...

Tomb Raider: Don't Bother

Thu, 28 Jun 2001 16:46:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - I went to this movie knowing it was based on a video game. There have been few (read "none") good movies from games, so I wasn't expecting much. I was let down. I figured they'd work towards an Indiana Jones-esqe film with a bit more flashy action and...

The Mummy Returns - Why do I even bother?

Mon, 7 May 2001 15:05:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - Sometimes I just don't know why I bother seeing movies anymore. The Mummy Returns made 70 million on its opening weekend. That's a lot of money for a really bad movie. After lots of thought, I can only identify one good thing about this movie. Do you...

Best console RPG I've ever seen

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 09:28:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - My roommate bought Fear Effect 2 recently. It's the first RPG I've played for the Playstation, and for that matter, the first I've played in a while for any console system. Let me tell you, I am impressed. The graphics and sounds are excellent, the...

Memento: A Memory to Keep

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 12:35:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - Memento is a very hard movie to describe. If I write about its plot, its characters, even its shot sequence, I give away a large part of what helps make it so great. So, what can I say? I'll mention some of the directorial effects and talk about the...

A Pleasant Surprise

Tue, 27 Mar 2001 11:52:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - I went to Exit Wounds expecting almost nothing. "Another Steven Seagal movie, ho hum." Imagine my surprise to find that Exit Wounds, while no Under Siege, was actually a good movie. There are some bad points, but overall I was glad to see it. The...

Innovation and robots, woohoo!

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 13:55:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - MindRover is one of the most innovative games I've seen. This game takes artificial intelligence and brings it to a level anyone can enjoy. I can't remember the last time a game has insinuated itself into my mind as quickly and completely as MindRover...

A truck I'll keep for a long time

Thu, 15 Mar 2001 18:27:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - I've driven many different kinds of cars. My Ford F-150 is the first car I've owned. It's almost a shame, as it has now spoiled me for all other cars. There are a slew of good things about this truck, and most of the bad ones are common to all trucks...

Dead Or Alive for PlayStation 1: Dead or Alive? Alive but fading fast.

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 15:55:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - Dead or Alive is another in a long line of fighting games. In every system, on every platform, you can always find a fighting game or ten. What makes DOA so special? Not a whole lot. It’s easy to pick up, takes a while to master, and still has a...

Rent it, don't buy it

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 12:53:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is an excellent game. Unfortunately it has too many flaws for me to be comfortable seriously recommending it. While the sounds and graphics have their good points, overall they fail to impress. The gameplay is...

Rand McNally StreetFinder GPS for the Palm III: Buy a real GPS

Tue, 6 Mar 2001 17:17:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - I love gadgets. It's a great feeling to get a new gadget, get it set up, and be off and running. This product was not one of those gadgets.

The software installation went fine, as did the hardware connections. The problems began when I...

"Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try to stay awake."

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 17:27:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - The Princess Bride has everything a movie could ask for. As The Grandpa (Peter Falk) said, "...Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles..." What more can one ask for?

Lodoss War: Best Anime Series Ever

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 16:08:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - A friend showed my brothers and I this series one summer. In no time I was looking for the series on DVD. I was not disappointed in the DVD version of this classic.

The story revolves around Parn, a young man on the journey to greatness. He...

Demon City Shinjuku: An Intriguing Tale

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 15:48:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - Demon City Shinjuku was a movie I picked up from the shelf at Blockbuster because I wanted to see an anime film. I didn't really care what film, but the box looked interesting. Little did I know how much I would come to like this movie. Eventually I...

An Esoteric Mix of Styles

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 11:57:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andlar - A friend, knowing my interest in both Tool and classical music, brought this album to my attention. As I trusted his advice, I bought S as soon as I could. Once again, his recommendation was right on the money.

The conductor of the San...
