Zeus: Master of Olympus for Windows: Unrest in the city? Shut yo' mouth!

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 18:01:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - That's what Shaftocles the watchman told me while he was walking through the city I had just built. That's the name of the game in Zeus: build a city, attract a god or two, maybe throw in a hero for good measure, and see what develops.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - I wanted to like this game. I really did. It seemed to have a lot going for it, the whole plunder and rule the Caribbean with an iron fist thing was very intriguing and looked like it could be a lot of fun. The intricacies of this game, along with it's...

I want to be a Cretan again... take me back!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - Crete was fantastic. Everything about it was fabulous, from the people, to the sights, food, prices, it was perfect. Well, almost.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - This Harry Potter craze is going to slowly start growing again, toward the pending November 2001 release of the Harry Potter movie. Every imaginable thing that could be in any way associated with these books and characters is going to be dragged into...

A winter wonderland...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - San Diego was a glowing paradise for me as I stepped off the plane, bringing me into another reality that I had heard about, but never actually experienced. It was early December, and, having left home in Michigan with the plane delayed because of heavy...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - I'll admit it, I've seen every Bond movie and enjoyed them all, more or less. There are the good ones, like the newest three and classics such as "Goldfinger" and "On her majesty's secret service", and there are the downright...

It's a dictionary! WOW!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - Yes, its not a likely topic for a review, but, I said to myself, where else are the masses, crying out to know the meanings of words like "desidose" (Idle, indolent, slothful, sluggish) and "muckna" ( a male elephant without...

A mixed bag, but worth a visit

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 19:21:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - I'd been looking forward to my trip to Athens. It was the end to our whirlwind family tour of Europe, or, more accurately, England and Greece. We'd just flown into the Athens Airport from Crete, where it had been breezy and mild, perfect vacation...

fun-filled action + hours of quality time

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 19:46:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - My first experience with Sequence came a few years ago, before the retail version appeared in stores. We own a pop-up trailer which we like to take as a family on camping trips every so often. On one of these trips, in Northern Michigan, we met a nice...

a highly interactive and exciting murder mystery, AND MORE!

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 20:37:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - It saddens me to think that this game represents a rare accomplishment these days: an adventure game worth playing. Not that adventure games are harder to design than other types of games, but nobody seems to have the motivation to make these wonderful...

Geysers, mud pots, and canyons, oh my!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - Although a considerable amount of time has passed since I spent my week and a half in Yellowstone, I still remember it vividly as one of the best experiences of my life. The place has a magical feel hovering around it, what with thousands of steaming...

Better Than Ezra: Deluxe - terrific breakthrough album

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 17:22:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - Better than Ezra keeps it simple. Their '95 CD debut "Deluxe" is evidence of that, with their characteristic southern rock style and consistently high quality lyrics and sound. Based in New Orleans, BTE has gained little public recognition,...

A must have for Dave Matthews fans

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - I'm actually listening to this cd (#2) right now, and I'm enjoying it as much as I did the first time I heard it. I have most of DMB's CDs, and this is by far my personal favorite. It mixes some DMB classics off the "Under the Table and...

MTV's 'M' is apparently meaningless

Tue, 10 Oct 2000 20:24:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - Didn't there used to be a time when music videos were actually played on MTV? What's happened? Personally, I don't get cable (resident hick, that's me), but the majority of my friends do, and the stuff they show on MTV anymore is outrageously...

A step down for Sierra

Tue, 10 Oct 2000 18:42:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - This game had a lot to live up to, being the 8th in a series that's been around for over 15 years. It probably would've gotten poor reviews had it only been equal to its predecessors, due to the expectations. The sad truth is that it fell a good ways...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - What can I say about my favorite restaurant? Mongolian Barbecue, though the actual "mongoliaocity" of it is doubtful, is the best-tasting food I've found, mainly because you decide what you'll have down to the oils and spices. It's basically...

Nothing special by any means

Sun, 8 Oct 2000 15:12:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - Having played Civilization 2 (which, incidentally, is still on my computer, while this game is long gone...), and hearing that a sequel was coming, I immediately thought it would be a game worth getting. Little did I know that another company had taken...

Egypt was built in a day!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bulldg60 - Well, after building Rome in a day (more or less) in Caesar 3, I've moved on to Egypt, land of the Pharaohs, where I was able to build an entire Egyptian city in a day. Of course, there are many, many different cities to choose from, and the game seems...
