Razer Boomslang 2000: Fast and Furious

Tue, 5 Sep 2000 12:51:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - This mouse is a lean, mean fighting machine! I've never seen such smooth mouse movement in Windows before, not to mention 3D games. No more of that shaky mouse, appearing here and there when you move it quickly. With the Boomslang 2000 you can...

Yuck

Thu, 25 May 2000 03:38:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - I downloaded the demo before the full release came out, and I loved the game. It seemed like it was going to be a big hit with me. Unfortunately, when I got the full version, I realized that every level is practically the same, without any gameplay...

You can bet your momma never soul reaved like this!

Fri, 19 May 2000 20:04:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - If you played the original Kain game, Blood Omen, this is basically nothing like it. It's a 3rd person perspective game, pitting you as a vampire who was cast to oblivion because you evolved faster than your creator, Kain. Your name is Raziel, and at...

The Metal Age is Upon Us

Sat, 6 May 2000 03:39:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - There's a new sheriff in town ... literally. There must be some way to get this guy off your back. That's the basis for the sequel to the inventive game, Thief: The Dark Project.

Well, I must say that this game has some gigantic levels...

A Keeper

Sat, 6 May 2000 03:26:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - The concept behind this game has always appealed to me. The idea of concealing yourself in shadows, picking pockets, using medieval weapons, etc. was a really great breakthrough in the first person shooter genre. Thief reminds me of the Rainbow Six...

Arokh, I need you!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - A town is overrun by creatures, called Wartoks, to shackle townspeople and use in their mines, and a young boy is stolen and chosen to be the gateway to bring evil into the world. The young boy is your brother! Your mission: save your brother and...

The First Masterpiece of the Prequel Trilogy

Fri, 28 Apr 2000 22:46:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - Well, I'm an avid Star Wars fan. I've seen the Original Trilogy more times than I can remember and I continue to watch them on a frequent basis. I watched the trilogy the other day in fact. I saw Episode I the first day it opened, I bought the...

AMD Athlon - Love at first load

Thu, 27 Apr 2000 23:48:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - I'm running an AMD Athlon 600 Mhz IBM Aptiva and it runs amazingly. The chip supports 200 Mhz bus transfer speeds with a Slot A infrastructure, which is incompatible with Slot 1 and Slot 2 infrastructures. Pentium II's and III's only support up to 133...

S3 Diamond Viper Ultra 770: Is that a video adapter in your pants?

Thu, 27 Apr 2000 23:33:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - First of all, I don't have the "Ultra" version of this card, and I'm not sure what the differences are, but I'm guessing it just has slight improvements or has TV-Out or something like that. But, just know I'm using my non-Ultra card as a...

Here a Skaarj, there a Skaarj, everywhere a Skaarj

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 01:32:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - Well, I must say that this game feels like it was made for me. I love the controls, the enemies, the graphics, and the gameplay, although even on my new Athlon 600 things are still choppy sometimes -- more so in the mission pack though. I've beaten...

Wow!

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 01:39:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - Well, this game came just in time for me, because I needed something with high action that I could fly through. I played the demo of this game, and absolutely loved it. The attention to detail is amazing, the collision detection is as perfect as I've...

"TK421, why aren't you at your post?"

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 01:31:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - Well, I'm a big Star Wars fan, and as with all Lucasarts games, I'm excited when a new game comes out involving some part of the Star Wars Universe. And if you want a game for controlling Rebel/Imperial forces in combat, this is pretty much your only...

Messiah ... New Depictions of Religion

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 22:47:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benerdin - Unlike most other people (I'm finding), I have had no lockups or problems with the game. I have experienced the choppiness in during gameplay when the frame rate drops due to high activity areas of the game, but, that's really the only game...
