Paradise Lost

Wed, 31 Mar 2004 15:55:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author byonder - As far as graphics go, Far Cry is the new standard. The game looks absolutely gorgeous and there’s nothing currently that can compare with it. Even when compared with Doom 3 and Half Life 2 I think Far Cry will be able to stand up to them in terms of...

Creepy Crawlers...try “crummy cleanup.”

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb for Windows: Two-thirds adventure, one-third anguish

Sat, 24 May 2003 21:14:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author byonder - I am one of those few people who actually enjoyed the previous Indy installment, The Infernal Machine and really didn’t have too many bad things to say about it. Even though it had more problems than Emperor’s Tomb I still found it interesting,...

Enclave for Windows: Plot? Nah, but it sure is pretty...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author byonder - When I first installed Enclave I was a little skeptical…I know console ports have gotten better since the days of Virtua Fighter, but unfortunately those days were still bad enough to leave a sour taste for all console ports to come. That being said,...

The latest, the greatest, the...hey, it's over already?

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author byonder - Ah, Unreal 2, the game that we’ve been waiting almost 5 years to play. Without further ado, let’s jump right into things:

The Graphics

Alice gone crackers

Tue, 4 Feb 2003 22:40:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author byonder - The Story So Far

Despite popular belief, there actually is a story, and it goes something like this: Alice’s house burned down and her family was killed. This launches Alice off the deep end, and lands her in an insane asylum. Since...

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault For Windows: WWII W/O the Tactics

Mon, 3 Feb 2003 14:33:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author byonder - The Story

A while ago WWII games were few and far between, now they are much more common. The number of excellent WWII games has stayed pretty much the same, but the number of good ones has increased slightly, and of course the number...

Heavy Metal F.A.K.K.2 For Windows: All about the fire sword

Sun, 26 Jan 2003 16:33:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author byonder - The Intro

I’m not sure how many people will read this, since the game has been out for a few years now, but I figure I might as well write about it anyway. I just finished the game. I had bought it over a year ago, but my system...

A movie you should keep far, far away...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author byonder - I’m sure you’ve heard it before…

But I’m going to throw my two cents in just anyway. Let me start off by saying that I am a huge fan of the original trilogy; easily my favorite sci-fi movies of all time. There were a few...

I can't believe it's not nVidia (updated)

Wed, 22 Jan 2003 14:04:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author byonder - The System

The system in which I put my Radeon 9700 Pro I built from scratch, so no drivers had to be uninstalled or hardware removed and replaced. It is an Intel P4 2.4Ghz, on a Soyo 4x400 Dragon Ultra motherboard with 1GB of DDR333...
