Star Wars Battlefront: Great but flawed

Sat, 11 Dec 2004 01:47:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - You cannot imagine how excited I was when I heard that Star War Battlefront was coming out. Being a huge fan (and addict) of Battlefield 1942, and at the same time being a huge Star Wars fan, I could not have been more excited about this game. I ran...

Doom 3: Beautiful but boring

Sat, 11 Dec 2004 01:20:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - I was more than excited when ID announced Doom 3. I spent my youth playing Doom 1 and Doom 2, appreciating the innovation of both of those games. So, as you would expect, I went out and bought Doom 3 the day it was released. Installation...

No One Lives Forever for Windows: NOLF: Monolith finally makes another good game

Wed, 1 Aug 2001 18:02:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - Being a fan of Monolith games since the original Blood, I was happily surprised when I began playing this game. Monolith had such a good blend of humor and gameplay in Blood, which was missing in the sequel and in other games they...

The Coming: Good Idea, Bad Book

Tue, 31 Jul 2001 18:17:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - I picked this book up and ended up buying it because the cover description is very compelling. A message is received from space that says, "We're coming," and it turns out that whoever (or whatever) sent that message is on the edge of the solar system,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - When we decided to go to French Polynesia for a vacation, we had a few choices in airlines for the last leg of the trip, from L.A. to Tahiti. These were Air New Zealand, Corsair, or Air France. Our agent told us that Air NZ was the nicest of the three,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - I bought the Linksys Etherfast 4 port router last december, after having used a software firewall and router for over a year with my cable modem. I've had no problems with it so far, and it has worked flawlessly.

U9: Fun and beautiful, but it could have been better!

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 18:06:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - I bought Ultima IX: Ascension when it was first released, but due to an unnamed internet software store's incompetence, I did not receive it until it had been out for two months..(but I won't go into that here). Of course, this being two years after...

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 13:43:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - Sven Co-op, as stated in the description, is a user created mod for Half-Life. I was very excited when I first saw that this mod was out there, and while I waited for it to download, I read up on it a bit. In this epinion I will talk about both the...

Creative Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold: Why do I miss this card so much?

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 18:51:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - The AWE64 is, in PC technology time, ancient. It was released in 95-96, and at the time was pretty expensive. I paid almost $300 for a package that contained a CD-ROM and one of these sound cards.

Wow, is that my computer making that...

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 18:28:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - I have been a Voodoo graphics card user since the days of the voodoo 1 add-on card. I bought a Voodoo 3 2000 when they first came on the market, and I have been very pleased with it so far. After a couple of years now, the card still makes new games...

50megs: 50Megs - Pretty Good For Free

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 15:22:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - I moved my webpage to 50megs over a year ago now, and I've found them to be a pretty good free web hosting service. I say this because I used one of the worst - WebJump, before that. (WebJump is not listed on Epinions yet, but when it is, you'll see my...

Iglou: The best dial-up I've had

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 15:51:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - Iglou Internet Services is a smaller ISP than your Mindsprings, AOLs, and Junos, but I found their service to be exceptional, and because they are smaller, I found myself getting better connections, and much better customer service.

G810: Beautiful Monitor

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 17:28:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - Upgrading from a 17" monitor to a 21" monitor is a wonderful thing. It can be hard on the wallet though. I upgraded to a 21" ViewSonic G810 from a 17" ViewSonic, mostly for the increase in screen size. I loved my ViewSonic...

MCI: Bad with a captive market

Fri, 6 Oct 2000 16:03:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - MCI was the first ISP I used, when I was a college student at The University Of Kentucky. I had just moved off campus, and needed an ISP to connect to the internet. UK has a free service that will allow you to connect only to on-campus sites, and if...

BlueLight: Pretty good for the price

Fri, 6 Oct 2000 15:01:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - When I decided to go broadband with a cable modem, I had only one problem. My girlfriend had been using my dial-up ISP for the small amount of browsing she needed to do. So when I cancelled my dial-up service she was in need of internet access in her...

Fri, 6 Oct 2000 14:01:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - A while back, I badly needed to upgrade my ailing computer with a new processor. The reason for this was that I had a Cyrix MII processor, and my computer would lock up approximately every 20 minutes or so. The MII is known for its heat problems, and...

@Home Review

Thu, 5 Oct 2000 18:14:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - I've had cable internet access through AT&T@Home for a year now. I had the opportunity to choose either DSL or cable when I decided to go broadband, and it really came down to price. Cable access for me is $29.99 per month (if I had AT&T long...

Ignifuge: Ignifuge: Not Bad, Just Decent

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 18:38:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - I state in my review title that Ignifuge is just decent, and that really sums up my feelings for them. I've been a member for about 7 months (I signed up after I found AllAdvantage), and I really haven't accumulated enough money to ask for a payment...

All Advantage: AllAdvantage: Are They Strapped?

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 17:59:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - I do not recommend AllAdvantage to anyone anymore, and I will tell you why. I signed up for their service about a year ago, and I quickly sent an email to my girlfriend (wife now) and she signed up also. This was the first time I had seen anything like...

Half-Life: Redefined A Genre

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 16:39:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - I've been a fan of games like this since the days of Doom, and just as Doom defined the genre generally referred to as First Person Shooters (FPS), Half-Life has redefined it. All games after Half-Life will be judged according to the bar that it has...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - We just returned from a 7 day cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Enchantment Of The Seas, and had a great time. The ship is large and has many things to do and see just on board, not including the ports. Our cruise stopped in Key West, Florida, Cozumel,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - My wife and I vacationed in Tahiti and Moorea in May of 1999, and had a wonderful time. This was, of course, during their winter, so the average temperatures dipped down into the low to mid eighties.
