ZipZoomFly.com: Far too slow processing orders, take your business elsewhere!

Mon, 15 Aug 2005 23:45:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - While their prices may be good, they take an unacceptably LONG time to process orders, and are very unresponsive to e-mail inquiries. Would NOT...

A good translation of an average game

Tue, 29 Jan 2002 11:41:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - Final Fight still brings back memories of the days when I'd grab my buddies during the summer months and head to the local mall arcade for some quarter-dropping goodness. This version of Final Fight is a faithful port of the arcade classic, but a good...

A fitting coda to the series as we know it

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 16:00:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - After 9 iterations, the Final Fantasy world has reached its pinnacle in this, the most stunningly beautiful FF game to date. It also serves as a poignant reminder to fans of just how deeply rooted in our hearts the storylines of this series are. When...

A solid notebook, but a bit unreliable

Thu, 24 Aug 2000 10:45:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - I received a Hewlett-Packard OmniBook 4150B from my company a few months ago. Several hiccups and two major catastrophes later, I'm not sure how useful this machine is as a business tool. (For reference, my particular PC has a P3-500 processor, 128 MB...

Best tennis game yet, but where are the ladies??

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 10:37:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - Games like this are why my friends and I coined the term "video crack." You know, the kinds of games where you can sit and play for an hour, but in reality three hours have gone by. Okay, maybe that's just me...

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! Bad control!!!

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 10:34:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - I wish I could push BOTH the "Love It" and "Hate It" buttons for this one. As for the control, IT SUCKS @$$!!!! I hear the twin sticks that you can buy for $150 help, but why bother? What game is worth $200, all told?! This game...

Good for a few hours, but wait for the sequel

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 10:26:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - Another game in the Dreamcast's growing line of so-so arcade conversions, Power Stone is fun for a while, but lacks the depth necessary to put it up there with the system's best fighters.

More of a Final Fight type of game than a Tekken sort,...

In a word: Average

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 10:17:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - If you're looking for a game that does nothing more than exercise your ability to hit a button as quickly as possible and cause as much destruction as possible, look no further. If you're looking for a stimulating action game that taxes a little of your...

Look past the surface and you'll be rewarded

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 09:29:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - SLEEPER WARNING!! While Tetris and Bust-A-Move are certainly addicting puzzle games, give Chu Chu Rocket a chance, and you'll be hooked. While the learning curve is a bit steeper than some puzzlers, the payoff is great...if you call long nights glued...

Stylish, comfortable, and reliable

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - I recently purchased a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue from a good friend of mine. I'm usually very skeptical about buying cars directly from other (private) owners, but I know she took good care of the car. When I took possession, the car had 37,000 miles on...

The most addicting non-puzzle game ever

Thu, 17 Feb 2000 09:53:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - "So what's the big deal? You drive people around in a taxi, the quicker the better. That sounds stupid..." This is how a friend of mine described Crazy Taxi after I raved about the arcade version.

Then he played it. He bought a...

Oh, my goodness...

Thu, 17 Feb 2000 09:42:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - If there were a word that perfectly described the sight and sound of a jaw dropping to the floor, this epinion would consist of that word, and that word only.

While not without its (minor) flaws, Soul Caliber is possibly the finest 3D fighter...

Is anyone EVER happy with their cable carrier?

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 16:37:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - Okay, I'll go against the flow here. I actually LIKE Time Warner. Distrust of big corporations aside, I've never had any major customer service problems with them. I'll tell you this, though: You yell at them or treat them like $hit and you'll get it...

Ohio Wesleyan University: Had such good times there, but I just can't recommend it unless there are some changes

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 12:25:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - Okay, if you want the low-down, go read deltogre's epinion. As you can probably tell, he's my fraternity brother/roomie. He hit the nail right on the head with his OWU epinion.

I love this school for the memories it gave me, the education I...

Okay, we know even less about this one, and people are still "experts" on it!

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 12:16:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - I understand the desire to be the first to express your opinion on

such a hot system, but give me a break!! We know even less about this system than about the PS2. For those of you who missed it:

Toss the variables out there for all to...

Sega Dreamcast Grey Console: Better than the PSX, but the hardware's not the real strength here

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 12:01:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - Sega has always been good about putting out lots of titles to support new systems. That's why the Genesis enjoyed the life-long lead it did over the Super NES. Having learned from other's mistakes (ATARI! sob...), Sega has done a great job of putting...

Aging quickly, but still great

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 11:44:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - Sony's PlayStation will be remembered in digital entertainment history as the item which truly brought CD-ROM gaming home. Note that I didn't say "video game history," as it's all melding together into an eventually indistinguishable mash of...

Pokemon: Has ideas that clash with our culture, to be sure, but slavery? That's going too far.

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 11:13:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - The epinion to which I'm responding raises some valid moral issues inherent in the Pokemon storyline. Yes, capturing rare creatures does sound awfully similar to the quintessential Eurowhiteman on sfari in Africa. Yes, the show has some violent...

Simpsons, The: NOT always for kids, but always a good laugh

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 10:59:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - This is one Fox series which actually makes sense to me. No aliens, no elephants goring circus-goers, just straight dysfunction and mayhem in the traditional, American-family style.

What truly makes The Simpsons shine is the little touches...

Too new to be a classic, but built to be one someday

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 14:04:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - You can't build a better stadium than this. They've done just about everything right here, so I'll begin with what's wrong.

First, Dick Jacobs (and he is a dick) doesn't own the team anymore. Larry Dolan (a lawyer) does. "Dolan...

Bland team, even more bland arena

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 13:51:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - For those of you who aren't in the know, Gund Arena is named after the owner of the Cavaliers, Gordon Gund. He is blind.

It shows.

I'm not sure if he went blind from seeing this eyesore, or if they built it this ugly because they...

Drunk, drunker, drunkest

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 10:51:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - Well, it's not the best of beers, but here's my rationale. I drink beer to get drunk. I don't drink beer because it goes well with pizza or any other kind of food. Alcohol has one purpose: to get me drunk. From there, the evening becomes more...

Drop a Werther's Original in for a fun taste

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 10:45:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - No, really, it's pretty neat. It enriches the flavor of the beer.

Honey Brown is not worth the price they charge for it, but it is certainly a good beer. I must agree with my beer-swilling comrade-in-cans, deltogre. For the money, you can...

I spent the better part of a day walking the streets of Rome, and I never ran out of interesting things to look at. The faces are varied, the conversations lively (if unintelligible to...

Now THIS is how anime should be done

Tue, 28 Dec 1999 13:14:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author deltwalrus - Finally showing the mainstream movie audience that anime isn't either porn or kiddie cartoons, "Ghost in the Shell" combines amazing animation, well-written characters, a great plot, and shaky themes to create a wonderful overall experience...
