The THPS killer

Thu, 4 Jul 2002 14:31:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - Aggressive Inline, the latest game from Z-Axis, takes a little bit of every other extreme sport game and somehow manages to create a fun and refreshingly unique game. There are cess slides (a.k.a. reverts) from THPS3, skitching from Jet Grind Radio, pole...

It's Tony Hawk meets crap

Wed, 7 Nov 2001 22:53:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - Why do video game companies release bad games? They must know whether it is good or not, but apparently this is not the case in my scenarios: Superman 64, Iridion 3-D, etc. Same thing with Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX. Now, before you get...

Eh... it's "watchable"

Sun, 9 Sep 2001 13:40:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - Rurouni Kenshin: Requiem for the Ishinshishi (the true name, not that Samurai X crap) takes place after the TV series, and is not a follow up to the legendary “Tsuioku Hen” OVA (original video animation). It’s pretty much Sony’s way of getting more money...

Um... just read the review, I'm bad at titles!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - Skies of Arcadia takes place in the era of “Discovery.” There are many mysterious places in the world that are waiting to be charted. The world is full of Air Pirates, people that go around looking for a treasure (and often stealing, as well) and killing...

This is where things get good!

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 12:27:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - The Rurouni Kenshin series takes a dark turn of events as things delve into Himura Kenshin's murderous past. There are people from the Revolution that Kenshin reunites with after ten years, yet none that have any acquaintance with him. Battles are...

The next step in portability!

Sat, 30 Jun 2001 15:45:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - I got my Game Boy Advance in the unbelievably cool Glacier (clear blue) color. This is arguably the nicest looking launch color, with Arctic the only real competitor. It plays fast and smooth, is extremely portable, and has tons of support from...

One of the greatest Zelda games ever.

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 18:06:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - It all started in 1987 with "Legend of Zelda". Now, almost fifteen years later, we have the tenth and eleventh titles in the famed series. Little has changed... and I like it that way!

The game starts with Link being thrown into the world of...

The best affordable MiniDisc recorder.

Mon, 21 May 2001 21:19:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - UPDATE! 6/30/02: The MZ-R91 has become very picky on when it wants to function. Many times it'll just go dead even though the batteries are brand new. This just leads me to the conclusion that after enough beating, the MZ-R91 won't perform as when...

An intelligent film that portrays the effects of war.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - *This review contains some major spoilers. You have been warned.*

I just wanna state that I didn't cry once in this movie. Not once. Nor did my eyes get the least bit watery. Perhaps this is just my own stone-cold fault, as many people...

"See you space cowboy..."

Sun, 1 Apr 2001 19:22:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - "Cowboy Bebop" is one of those titles that already has a large fanbase and now I know why. With its intriguing plot, gorgeous animation, and extremely beautiful music, it's no wonder why it was anime of the year for 1998 and has a motion picture...

Mecha Heaven. That is all.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - "History is like an endless waltz. The three beats of war, peace, and revolution continue on forever..."

I'll assume that if you're interested in purchasing Endless Waltz, you've already watched the television series that was shown on...

A decent beginning to a SUPER series

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 12:06:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - (Very Neo-esque) Whoa. This is the first time I've seen any episodes of "Rurouni Kenshin," and I must say, I'm really impressed. Great story, great animation, great voices (well, save for the dub actors), yadda yadda yadda...

New to Kenshin?...

Greatest Anime Piece of Work

Sat, 24 Feb 2001 23:56:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - Ever seen one of those movies that just makes you drop your jaw and keep them down on the floor even after you leave the theater? This one sure did it for me. Unlike the TV series, which is very light-hearted and comedic, the OVA is very deep and...

Miyamoto, you've done it again!!

Sun, 12 Nov 2000 14:03:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - Probably the most hyped, anticipated item in the gaming world besides PS2, "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask," is finally here. Believe me, it was worth the wait!

The story starts out with Link searching for an unknown friend (Nintendo never...

A great game... for rental

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 12:05:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - First off, Winback: Covert Operations is a great game. Yes, a great game: to rent. This game won't last very long. It's very short, and extremely repetitive. Every mission is the same "hide-behind-the-wall" and "shoot-the-bad-guy." It...

AOL Instant Messenger: 59 million people can't be wrong

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brianchen_2001 - Note: The review title does not reflect the cigarette company's advertising. (Tobacco used to have the ad, # million people can't be wrong.) Please don't think that that is what I meant in my title.
