Bomberman Generations is a blast

Fri, 19 Jul 2002 14:55:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - I've never owned a Bomberman game before, but I'm a big fan of multiplayer games. After hearing many people talk about how much fun Bomberman games were with four players, I decided to pick up Generations. Sure enough, the multiplayer games are great,...

The best adventure game for the GC so far

Fri, 19 Jul 2002 14:20:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Eternal Darkness is Nintendo's first M rated game for the GC. It is made by their second party developer Silicon Knights. It was originally in development for the N64 but was later moved to the GC instead.

This game features a much better...

A fun party title

Fri, 19 Jul 2002 11:43:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - I'm usually not a big fan of sports games, but the theme of Soccer Slam appealed to me. There's no team management and the controls are easy to learn, so it should appeal to many non sports gamers.

In Soccer Slam there are no rules. Players...

The best game on the GBA

Fri, 19 Jul 2002 11:26:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - This is hands down the best game on the GBA right now. If you're only going to buy one game, it better be this one.

I've never played any strategy games on the PC before, so I was a little apprehensive as to whether this title would appeal to...

Blue Storm is the best water based racer ever.

Mon, 22 Apr 2002 11:03:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Wave Race 64 is considered by many to be the best racer available on the Nintendo 64. So Wave Race Blue Storm had a lot to live up to as its next generation sequal. While Blue Storm features many improvements and is a much better game overall, it has...

Pac-Man World 2 is a great rental

Wed, 10 Apr 2002 14:05:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Before I begin this review, I'd like to point out that I played the Gamecube version not the PS2 one. But since Epinions doesn't have the GC version listed, I decided to write my review here. As far as I know, both versions are exactly the same with...

Rogue Squadron is a joy to watch but a pain to play.

Tue, 9 Apr 2002 15:10:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Rogue Leader takes place during the original trilogy with missions right out of the movies as well as additional ones. In total, there are fifteen missions, ten main ones and five unlockable. Some of the missions use the same areas however. There is...

Sonic's first GC outing is decent but no Mario

Tue, 9 Apr 2002 10:44:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - The N64 had more than its fair share of 3D adventure games. Mario 64 introduced us all to the 3D third person adventure, and it was then refined in games like Banjo, Zelda, and Conker. So many people bought GC's in hopes of playing sequels to these...

Fri, 8 Mar 2002 12:43:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - GBA owners have seen some great titles in its first year. Almost every genre has seen at least one must buy title, and in the RPG genre that title is Golden Sun. Any fan of the classic RPG's of the SNES era will immediately fall in love with this...

Wario Land 4 is a fun game while it lasts.

Thu, 3 Jan 2002 10:15:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Wario Land 4 is the first platform game that I have played on the Gameboy Advance. It is not a port of a home console game like Mario Advance and Rayman. Instead, Wario 4 is a totally new game designed specifically for the GBA. While not a...

The Apex 500W is a decent DVD player at a great price.

Fri, 21 Dec 2001 13:30:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - These DVD players can now be found for $89.99 at Wal-Mart. I bought mine eight months ago for $99.99, and it has served me well ever since. If you are looking for a cheap DVD player that will provide you with a decent movie watching experience, it's...

Nintendo's new controller is a great design but could have been better.

Fri, 21 Dec 2001 13:15:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - First of all, this is the best controller available for the GameCube. It's more durable than the third party controllers, the analog sensitivity is more precise, and the rumble feature doesn't make a rattling noise. But I'm disappointed that Nintendo...

Pelican G3 Racing Wheel: The G3 is an adequate controller at a great price.

Fri, 21 Dec 2001 11:53:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Third party controllers have always been notorious for being poor quality. But they are also a lot cheaper than first party ones, so they can be a popular choice when looking for extra controllers for four player gaming. The Pelican G3 is a good...

Fri, 21 Dec 2001 10:58:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - No one in the history of video games has created more successful franchises then Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo. He is the mastermind behind Mario, Zelda, and Star Fox. So when he comes out with a brand new game, people usually take notice. Pikmin is no...

If you're looking for one good reason to buy a GameCube, Smash Brothers is it.

Fri, 21 Dec 2001 10:55:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - The Nintendo 64 defined four player gaming. Great games like Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, and Mario Party could fill a living room with trash talking gamers for countless hours. Arguably the best four player game on the N64 was Super Smash Brothers, so it...

The Mazda MPV proves you get what you pay for.

Mon, 17 Dec 2001 16:58:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - I've owned my MPV for about six months now, and I've been pretty dissappointed with my purchase. I bought the MPV because it was one of the most affordable mini-vans on the market, but now I wish that I had spent the extra money for a higher quality...

Luigi's debut on the GameCube is a fun adventure that just doesn't last long enough.

Mon, 17 Dec 2001 13:48:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Luigi's Mansion marks a milestone in Nintendo's history. It is the first time a Nintendo system has not launched with a Mario title. So the question on everyone's mind is whether or not Luigi can fill those shoes. Unfortunately the answer is no...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Super Monkey Ball is the first Sega game to appear on a Nintendo home console, and it doesn't dissappoint. Sega has always been known for their off the wall game ideas, and Monkey Ball continues this legacy. Monkey Ball has seven different varieties...

Tony Hawk done right on a handheld.

Thu, 29 Nov 2001 14:25:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - At the launch of the GameBoy Advance, Tony Hawk 2 was at the top of most reviewers lists. A title that had been very popular on the Playstation squeezed into a cartridge but was able to retain much of what made the console version popular. It's one of...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Christmas shoppers this year are presented with three different choices for next generation consoles. Having played all of them, I can safely say that there is no clear winner. Each console has strengths and weaknesses which taylor it to individual...

Thu, 29 Nov 2001 11:20:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Anyone who enjoyed playing the original Mario Kart on the SNES is going to absolutely love the handheld version. This game is hands down the best racing game currently available for the GBA.

The GBA is the best handheld available.

Thu, 29 Nov 2001 11:19:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author awymore - Fans of portable gaming don't get much choice in America. Nintendo owns the market, so when someone wants to buy a new handheld the only choice is whether to get a GameBoy Color of the new GameBoy Advance. The GBA retails for about twice as much as the...
