rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author devbert - I first remember watching this show when I was younger. I didn't know why I watched it. The thing about the show was that you watched it even though you never laughed. After growing up, I have realized that almost 99 percent of Nickelodeon shows are...

Great if you loved the Arcade

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 02:46:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author devbert - Marvel Vs. Capcom is great, if you loved the arcade game. I don't know about the one player mode, it is ok I guess. Where the game becomes superb is in two-player mode, or even better, 4 player-mode. What makes it unique is that it makes it more exciting...

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 23:32:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author devbert - I saw the original Austin Powers and loved it. It took all spy movies, and made fun of them to the point where you would cry from laughing. Commecially, it was a success, bringing in $40 million with little spent. In the first weekend of AP 2, it made...

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 23:06:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devbert - This title is true. This game was banned in third world countries. Why though? It can't be the graphics, it is decent 2D, and blood effects are cheesy, as are gun effects. I think it has to be the Game. This game promotes anarchy, killing, blackmail,...

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 22:46:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author devbert - Half-Life is probably the most successful first person shooter, Doom aside. What made it so great, was it's elements it combined. Loading times were in 5 second increments, so it felt like one big level. AI was astounding, and you always felt you were...
