'Stuntman' or 'A good idea gone bad'

Wed, 3 Jul 2002 20:18:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fireballdw - Making a game about performing insane stunts is a novel idea. However, making a GOOD game about performing insane stunts is a difficult thing to do. Unfortunately, Infogrames did not succeed in this venture, but they got pretty close.

Mon, 1 Jul 2002 20:02:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fireballdw - Most boxing games I've played have been less than fun. Before renting this title someone had said it's the best fun since Punch Out (you remember -- the NES game!). I tend to agree with this persons assessment of this game.

Real Pool isn't real captivating.

Sat, 29 Jun 2002 17:57:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fireballdw - Real Pool is a well made game about pool (obviously) that was one of the first to come out on PS2. Looking at it objectively, it's very impressive, but personally I'm just not too impressed.

The sheer number of options is enough to make...

Sun, 10 Mar 2002 20:23:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fireballdw - The Dex Drive is probably one of the best values ever as far as electronics purchases.

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 23:50:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fireballdw - I've had this Compaq 5284 for 2 years now. I think the original price of it was around $2000 in April of 1999. It has served me well these past two years.

First off, let me say that back in April of 1999, this was pretty top of the line...

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 19:20:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fireballdw - By now, everyone has heard of Google. Originally when I heard about Google, I said to myself "I think I'll just keep using Yahoo."

Dragon Tales RULES!

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 13:40:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fireballdw - First off, I'm probably not the person you would think would review this sort of thing. By-and-large I would think it would be parents of young children, however I'm a college student with a 4 year old sister, so I think I'm qualified to talk about it...

Java in a Nutshell, a great book for Java!

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 04:08:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fireballdw - This book is probably one of the most useful programming books I own, and as a computer engineering & computer science major, that's saying quite a bit. I think a little background information is necessary before I start talking about the book.

The classic book on C

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 03:40:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fireballdw - If you ask experts and long time users of C (an easy way to do this would be to go to #c on IRC), what the best book to get for C programming is, you'll more often than not get a resounding 'K&R' from them. K&R is shorthand for Kernighan & Ritchie, the...

Mon, 19 Mar 2001 02:32:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fireballdw - Every guy is different, and what may be one person's ideal shaver, may tear the next guy up. As for me, this shaver works fine. I have been using it for almost a year now.
