rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - When my daughter was born last September I had to hunt down glass bottles. Now they are in every store.

Forget Neo, Hype Will End The Matrix

Wed, 4 Jun 2003 04:27:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - I've been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - If I need to explain Sonic the Hedgehog to you, then you can leave my review right now. I refuse to speak to you. Have you never heard of Mario either?

Jump up and celebrate punk gone fizzy

Fri, 16 May 2003 17:30:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - The last time I reviewed a pop/punk CD I received troubled comments because I said all punk is pop/punk. I will not retract that statement, but I will go in a different, probably less controversial, direction with this review. Sugarcult is not punk...

Sun, 20 Apr 2003 22:21:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - The Controller S, inde Style

I’ll admit it; I’m resistant to change. My life is full of habits and rituals, and I don’t change them easily. I didn’t mind the original Xbox controller. It came with my Xbox. I loved it, just as...

Thu, 10 Apr 2003 14:12:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - The first game that I was addicted to was ToeJam and Earl (TJ&E) for Genesis. It was the first of many games that inspired me and my cousin to play until neither of us could keep our eyes open. We rented TJ&E constantly and played it on my cousin’s...

The Motivation Album

Sun, 9 Mar 2003 21:25:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - Since this is a review of a what is known as a "pop/punk" band, I suppose I’m expected to go into great detail about how this is stuff we’ve heard before, that they are trying to be like Blink 182 or sound like New Found Glory. Or maybe I’m...

WHAT? Cockroaches? When did I get cockroaches?

Fri, 14 Feb 2003 18:51:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - Catz (your computer petz) have been around for quite some time, close to ten years is my estimation. It all started with the simple idea of Catz--a virtual cat that acts like a real cat. And turned into Catz 2--a virtual cat with friends. Then Catz 3--a...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - To signify my first year (and seven days) anniversary at Epinions, decided to write a review on Tony Hawk Pro Skater (THPS) for Playstation.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same…

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - Editors Letter

No one should let these guys sound off…

Sat, 17 Aug 2002 22:19:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - Grand Theft Auto 3 is the best game of all time, am I right? I have no clue, I've never played it. I don't even have a Playstation 2. I do, however, have a Playstation, and GTA 1 and 2 have been on sale for 15 bucks in my area. I decided to pick up the...

Comparisons in Controller Land

Wed, 31 Jul 2002 22:52:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - I think most people who have played more then one console can go on all day about how this controller is better than that one because of this, and that controller is better than this one because of that, the comparisons never end. Well, I can go on all...

Combat Evolved - Really

Fri, 12 Jul 2002 21:05:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - What do you think of when someone talks about XBox? Some people think of Microsoft, some think of the big controller, and others think “not as good as Playstation

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - You know those people you hate? Those people who like something, buy all the merchandise and have it be their desktop theme, the whole nine-yards, and yet don't really know anything about it. Yeah, I'm one of those people.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - It all started one day when I decided to play a little Final Fantasy VIII (And don't knock me for actually liking FFVIII!).

The Bad Boys of Summer

Wed, 17 Apr 2002 19:18:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - To me, Blink-182 is the definition of summer. I'm not sure if it would actually *be* summer if I didn't have their music blaring through the house. I think that's why every year in March I instinctively search through my CD's looking for those Blink CD's...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - What sold me on Dead or Alive 3 was a trailer I watched on my Xbox Magazine's demo disc. I had never seen such a good looking game before. I was amazed at the characters and drooling over the environments, I *had* to get that game! Of course, the...

Thu, 21 Mar 2002 00:50:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author in-dependent - Let's start off this review with you pretending you're me.
