The Comical seemingly endlessly deep RPG hits PSP, and I'm happy.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Disgaea is the reason I finally purchased a PSP. It took over 3 years to hit the shelf, but it is worth the wait and the purchase of a PSP. Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness is a retelling of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness which came out on Playstation 2 in...

Great use of the wiimote, on a rather frustrating game.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Monkeyball is one of those franchises that relies on simple game play, and a pick up and play feel. The Wii version added a new twist to the game, in the obvious place, the controls. Monkey ball's premise in all the games, is you're a monkey in a...

Nintendo goes back to the core of gaming, fun.

Sat, 9 Dec 2006 16:54:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - I had a hard time getting the Wii due to the WiiMadness around town. It took almost 3 weeks before I got a call from my brother in law, that said 'hey are you still looking for that Nintendo thing?', I told him 'yes' and he said he was in a store that...

Love it or Hate it, the formula is the same... I love it.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Rampage is one of those games, either you love it for the nostalgia or you just think it is too simple and boring. Well I happen to love it for the nostalgia, and it was a driving force actually for me to pick up a Wii early. Midway did a couple good...

No more Taco Talk! Nokia got it right 2nd time through, almost.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - N-Gage QD the predecessor to the ill-designed N
-Gage.
Well how well did these changes work? This review will look specifically at what has changed for better or worse than the original...

Let's do the Taco talk! It's not a Gameboy, it's not quite a phone...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - The Nokia N-Gage is trying to be both a phone and a gaming device. How well does it hold up as either? Well, not very good. For 200 bucks, you can get yourself an N-GAGE, (100$ with an provider). Well, would I pay 200$ for a Gameboy? Depends, how...

Small, Slick, Expensive.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Being a big fan of the iPOD which is a great device in it's own right, the iPOD mini is the new addition to the series. Sure it's small, stylish, easy to use, but with a 250$ price tag, it doesn't seem to justify. First of all the original iPODs...

JVC GR-HD1 Mini DV Digital Camcorder: True HD at under 3K, a great idea and a fantastic Camera!

Wed, 10 Mar 2004 21:48:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Wow! Ok, let me try to get to a more in-depth review now. First of all don't think that this HD is the same one George Lucas used to make Star Wars, it's not, that's something totally different. It's also not the camera your favorite episode of Will...

High res stills + Flash + Great DV Camcorder... Cool

Thu, 7 Feb 2002 21:45:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Sony has this thing about cramming as much as you can into a product. (With an exception for their DVD players.) However they have a problem with proprietary hardware. Well we get the best and worst of both worlds here. First we get a tiny camera,...

The longest playing, best sounding, cheapest MP3 Available!

Wed, 30 Jan 2002 02:29:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - First of all, this is the cheapest MP3 player style available. I'm referencing the CD Format. Why is it the cheapest? Well media for this bad boy costs about 50 cents for 650MB, on another device, well chances are you can only get about 128MB storage...

Small, decent quality, NOT MP3!

Wed, 30 Jan 2002 02:05:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Well first of all I'll go through the nice benefits of this little player, then I'll get to the point of this not even being an MP3 player.

First of all it's tiny, this thing is less than 2 inches long and about 1/4 inch thick and 1 inch...

Kinetix 3D Studio Max Release: Great 3D design/animation for beginners who have a couple grand to spend

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 00:45:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - I've been working with 3D max since release 2.5. 3.1 was the first major upgrade in 3D max, and since they've released 4.0.

3d Studio max is a great 3d modeling program, with tons of features, and a huge expandable plug in archive. With many...

Great quality, performance, and value. All the reasons to consider this...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - If you're looking for a nice top quality laser printer, that proves to perform again and again, well this is the right one. But if you'd prefer a nice Inkjet, which will start to streak over time, have slow output, and low ink life, well check out a...

Hewlett Packard Color LaserJet 4500 Printer: If you plan on printing a lot of color, this should help you.

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 14:35:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - I first ran into the HP 4500 at my previous job, and what a pro it was. For a color laser printer around $2000.00, this thing is a wonderful beast. The quality is top notch, and the color is consistent and vibrant.

I used this printer mainly...

Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum: Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 True Surround sound, professional features, awesome card!

Sun, 22 Apr 2001 14:03:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Since Epinions hasn't made room for the 5.1 card, I'll sneak it in here. Being a film and video editor, I'm always looking for the next cool thing. I've always loved mixing my audio into Surround Sound when time and money permitted. The long process...

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 18:04:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - After waiting for about 6months for my DSL order to complete, I finally got it up and running, on one computer. I used to use Microsoft's internet connection sharing to link the 2 pc's together for the internet, however now I was unable to. For some...

Philips TiVo PTV 300 Digital Recorder: To Heck with social life; i have TiVO!

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 15:55:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Actually I don't have TiVo, i was given one and had it for about a month and just got fed up with it. The fact that you can record any show at any time and watch it whenever you want is just ridiculous. Really who needs that much TV??? I have a...

A pretty cool small camcorder, but I bought a Canon; why?...

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 20:36:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - The Sony DCR-PC5 was my runner up in the search for the perfect traveling camcorder companion. However I ended up choosing the Canon Elura 2MC (read my review of this great camcorder for all the reasons why I bought it). The sony PC5 is a good...

A-MAX DAV309 Personal CD Player: DAV310 - CD, MP3, VCD?? -hey why not!

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 20:02:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - A Mp3/CD player that can play VCDs? Why the heck not! The Napa 310 is a nice upgrade from the 309, the most important feature is the addition of a shock protection. On the 309 you couldn't fart without making the thing skip. The 310 has a nice skip...

This is so Tiny, yet can do so much!

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 19:32:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - I was shopping around for another camcorder to take on some traveling trips with me. I decided to check out the palm corders, after a bit of research it was down to Sony PC5 and the Canon Elura 2mc. Well I decided on the Canon and I was sure glad.

Sony's DV entry level, aint too shabby.

Fri, 2 Feb 2001 12:41:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Sony is/has been a leader in the technology sector since the early 80's. Not because they're the best, nor that they are any cheaper, it's just that they are well known. Although much of thier equipment is terribly designed and falls apart quickly...

We Really need THIS?

Sat, 21 Oct 2000 04:19:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - Ok first of all the First Blair Witch was nothing GREAT. Being and Indy Film maker I found it a great idea, but way over saturated. And I'm still trying to understand how that movie could get 2 sequels authorized plus their own TV show, which actually...

Don't tell my girlfriend, but I'm eating all of them...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - These are yummy little treats disguised as energy bars. For some reason they market these towards women, which hey I guess that's cool and all but what about me? I like a little bit of flavor to my energy bars! I'm usually munching on my...

It's like playdough, but less salty!

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 02:05:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - The MetRX is a pretty decent bar, as far as taste and energy. It does however have the consistency of play-dough, which makes it hard to swallow sometimes. Just make sure you have a nice glass of milk with you.

The flavors are all pretty...

What the heck!? These things actually work!

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 01:54:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flindingo - All right, I finally admit that I'm a bit out of shape. I used to be so fit, and healthy, what happened?!?! Well I know it had something to do with gravity, loss of atmosphere, and kids with guns.

I finally decided I needed to slim up for...
