Cryptography: an insider's look

Thu, 26 Jun 2003 03:20:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - In this day and age, privacy is an issue close to everyone's heart in many ways. Do we want privacy...

Perfect, but for a few flaws

Sat, 21 Jun 2003 09:27:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - NBA 2k3 - on my GameCube, this has got to be the most bittersweet title for me - as much as I love t...

Ka-Put!

Wed, 8 May 2002 06:40:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - As you'd probably know if you've read any of my other reviews, I'm a car simulation nut - but I also enjoy my real-time strategy (most recently Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds), and role playing games (not much recently). I've been looking for a good...

A Jukebox for the computing age!

Wed, 24 Apr 2002 15:02:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Musicmatch is the ultimate computer jukebox program. Think Winamp, with a plugin for organising your library, a plugin for analysing the songs you play, and recommend artists, albums and songs, another for CD-burning, transferring files to your portable...

The greatest escape!

Sat, 20 Apr 2002 04:52:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Myst - until just recently, this has been the best - selling, and I mean BEST - selling, PC gaming franchise EVER (The Sims, incidentally, holds that title now). When the original Myst came out a few years ago, it practically turned the gaming world up...

Logitech took my cables away!

Fri, 19 Apr 2002 07:13:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Hooray!

Logitech finally took my cables away! :)

Well, kinda - I bought their wireless keyboard/mouse set and as a consequence I have no cables anymore on my desktop between my mouse and the keyboard to the computer. This is great -...

Ageless satire

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 11:30:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Politics! Now there's a topic that EVERYONE's gonna enjoy - and political satire is something that people always understand and appreciate, right? NOT! (Sorry about the ref. to Wayne's World) ... However, this is more enjoyable and better written satire...

1000 bhp + the Andrettis = FUN!

Tue, 11 Sep 2001 05:13:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Have you ever wanted to see a good documentary on a state-of-the-art racing formula? Sure, there are many good movies on racing, but they're:

One, movies - ie. not real

Two, mostly old - ie. Le Mans, Grand Prix

Three, there aren't many of...

SOOOO much BUFFY!

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 04:23:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Two weeks ago, at uni, my lecturer (who shall remain nameless because I hate him :).. ) asked us if we'd watched The West Wing last nite - nobody had! Finally someone was brave enough to mention to him that Buffy was on at the same time, only to receive...

hmmm - mediocrity at work!

Sat, 18 Aug 2001 07:51:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Mediocrity at work!

Epson - they're meant to be the best printer company - or they have been in the past. This little Epson printer's quite decent, but really, decency isn't a selling point - unless it was dirt cheap, which it is :)

Great little beauty

Sat, 18 Aug 2001 06:56:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Hi :)

Okay, let's just say, first of all, that I love this micro-HiFi by Pioneer - this is an absolute gem, in terms of sound quality, and also in terms of its looks and functionality... So i may sound a little biased, but, the hell, I'm...

Inside 3d Studio Max 3: The Ultimate.

Fri, 27 Apr 2001 06:13:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - The Ultimate. This is how I would describe the book, Inside 3d Studio MAX 3. I recently purchased this book from my university bookstore, and although it was somewhat pricy, once you begin to read it you realise that it was well worth it.

Even...

The king of underachievers

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 01:16:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Let's rip straight into the review without much rambling from me - shall we? (Unusual I know) :)

This monitor cost me, here in Australia, on the 10th of March 2001, $370 - about US$185 - not too bad a price, you might suggest - with its 16.1'...

Better, much better...

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 15:33:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Better.. better -

WELL, looks like I owe EA an apology - not that they'd be reading some kid's opinion on the web anyway - but in my review of F1 2000, I was rather harsh on slamming its weak AI, insanely steep system requirements, and its...

The best value for money

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 14:50:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Hi.

What do you, the average consumer, look for in a computer component when you purchase it? Or a motherboard, to be more specific? The 1-2% per cent gain in performace that can be expected by different boards using the same chipset? I think...

The best - but only just!

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 12:37:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Heya, it's been a long time between drinks for my epinions but I guess I've been busy, with all my late nights & such - not easy being 18!

Anyway, I had the pleasure lately of playing the new Colin McRae Rally 2 - and I can say, just like GP3...

Gran Turismo 1 for PlayStation 1: The ultimate killer app...

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 11:52:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Hey, fellow Epinioners, yes, it's been quite a long time between drinks for me, but I was somewhat busy and I really didn't have any product that I was interested in enough to review - and then one day it struck me, why not go back to the classics??...

Yee-Ha!!

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 14:08:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - 2 solid weeks of this game, and I'm absolutely sold - I'm a great advocate of the theory that games, especially driving games that feature real cars, should have as much realism as possible, however not when it's an obvious arcade game as this is. It's...

On Yer Bike!

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 11:27:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - GP500 is Microprose's first real go at a bike racing sim - titled, presumably, to feed of the enormous success of Grand Prix 2 (or GP2), although the man central to that success didn't partake in the development of GP500. Despite that, it is an excellent...

Click, click, click...

Sun, 5 Nov 2000 13:43:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - ARGH!

Okay.. I just finished this review but NO!!! The computer has to go berserk on me.. :P

Alrighty then.. back to business, I suppose.

Well, This mouse has been occupying my desk for just over - 4 months? And this had pretty...

The 211st Opinion on D2, with a little difference

Sat, 4 Nov 2000 16:07:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Why, I asked myself - would I do a review on an item that had been reviewed 210 times previously? AND move off my favorite genre, racing, to do it? Because Diablo has lived an interesting time on my computer, like no other game. So I am going to speak...

The Last Hurrah

Sat, 4 Nov 2000 14:01:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - **Legends Don't Die, they just.. go into premature retirement...

For the UK greats, Queen, this looks to be their last studio album - ever. After Freddie Mercury's death, they had released "Made In Heaven" in his memory, but this -...

It's an absolute schmozzle...

Sat, 4 Nov 2000 13:02:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Sorry? What is a schmozzle? Well, it's a word to describe this kinda thing - if, say, Jeff Gordon, at the start, chose to shift down from 3rd to 2nd, while doing 100mph, without using a clutch, causing the gearbox to disintegrate to thousands of pieces...

More Ooomph than Tim Allen's hotrod!

Sat, 4 Nov 2000 10:50:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Need For Speed... need I say any more? This series has been known as a fun, arcadey game, where developers believe that "Physics Engine" is some toy that comes with the new Happy Meal and have nothing to do in the world of driving. Well that...

Ashtray + Wheels

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 17:32:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cassini - Okay, so call me a car freak (enthusiast, in a more politically correct world). But, the Toyota Camry wagon, in all its 4-cylinder, 125 horsepower glory, isn't but an ashtray with extra features such as wheels, seats, engine and a chassis... in case of...
