Magic: The Confusion

Wed, 3 May 2000 02:53:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author delusion - I've never played Magic: The Gathering. This is not the product to learn with.

I've never been fond of the idea of collectible card games, as I certainly don't need something else to obsess about. With that in mind, I've steered clear of...

Hard Green - Brief Look

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 16:14:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author delusion - This is an initial impression only, not a complete review.

I had heard about the book on the radio, and was curious about it.

Risk 2 - Pretty but a bit shallow

Wed, 5 Apr 2000 17:24:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author delusion - I've played Risk since I was a child, often with others, and sometimes just myself playing multiple players after setting up scenarios. I hadn't touched the game in about 10 years, so when I saw Risk II on the shelf, it was irresistable.

Ignore Autechre at your peril.

Thu, 9 Dec 1999 06:05:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author delusion - To compare Autechre to other music, even in the broad electronic genre, is difficult because there are so few musical "parts" you can point to and say "that's reminiscent of..." or "imagine so-and-so playing...".

Asheron's Call - Elves Need Not Apply

Wed, 8 Dec 1999 20:43:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author delusion - Asheron's Call is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game - thousands of players are connected at once in a shared world. As with the other two products in this subgenre, a monthly fee of $9.95 applies.

Radio static, refined...

Wed, 8 Dec 1999 15:19:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author delusion - This album expanded my definition of what music can be.

DVoA is proof that if you do it right, you can take radio static, the churning sounds of factory machinery, feedback loops, and half-buried vocals that wouldn't make sense if they weren't...

Duke Nuke 'm meets the Microsoft '3D Maze' screensaver

Tue, 7 Dec 1999 17:58:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author delusion - Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor is the latest in a long series of Might and Magic titles that reach back to the heyday of 8-bit computer RPGs. I'm going to be honest and tell you that I wasn't a big fan of this series. They generally had an...

Aliens vs. Predator: The worst three hours of gaming since Dragon's Lair

Tue, 7 Dec 1999 16:00:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author delusion - To say that I didn't enjoy Aliens vs. Predator would be an understatement. I like games that can evoke an emotional response, be it fear, dread, joy, excitement, or whatever. Anger, however, is not usually what I'm going for when I play.

Last Rights - First Choice

Tue, 7 Dec 1999 14:16:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author delusion - By the time I knew of Skinny Puppy, I was already developing a nascent infatuation with dark industrial music. The first few times I heard Skinny Puppy, it was so jarring to my then-mundane sensibilities that it didn't even register to my head as music...
