I heard through the grapevine that it was the most serious film Sandler has ever starred in, and with this knowledge my interest quickly evaporated. You see I'm one of the few people... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443090177668 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 17:56:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443090177668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_433712696964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - There are many things that I'm weary of when it comes to movies, and near the top of the list is modern Stephen King book movie adaptations. Recently directors have failed time and time again to capture the essence of what makes the rather prolific... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433712696964 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:49:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433712696964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438869593732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - The Wii's motion sensing controller lends itself perfectly to the fighting and boxing games, or it should, in theory. Wii Boxing on the inclusive Wii Sports package was more or less a joke - featuring nightmarish controls that rarely registered at all... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438869593732 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 00:31:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438869593732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_439681781380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - When the Nintendo Wii was first announced it was made public that the console would give access to game libraries from Nintendo's (and other company's) older systems.

Even as a big fan of role playing games I simply couldn't get past the bizarre style of this title, and as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433818734212 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:24:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433818734212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_433818340996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - Developers Squaresoft and Nintendo are two of the biggest giants the industry has ever, and probably will ever see. They make very different styles of games from one another, and many gamers wondered if the two flavors taste good together. That question... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433818340996 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:41:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433818340996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426360475268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - Squaresoft wasn't always the powerhouse developer that we all know and love. In the late 80s they were in serious trouble - they failed to release any real blockbusters and as such they were quickly going under. The company's head developer, Hironobu... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426360475268 Fri, 16 May 2008 16:10:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426360475268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_429444730500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - When Capcom announced that the ever popular Final Fight would be released on the Super Nintendo console Sega needed an answer for their own Genesis system.

What originally began as an Arcade phenomenon eventually hit the Super Nintendo complete with a couple of sequels, and then simply faded... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~429421334148 Fri, 9 May 2008 15:20:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_429421334148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428711317124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - Before the days of Grand Theft Auto, Night Trap, and even Mortal Kombat rose a game more violent, disturbing and demented than all three of those combined. This bizarre little arcade release is so crude and uncalled for it that would give Jack Thompson a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428711317124 Tue, 6 May 2008 22:04:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428711317124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428614913668?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - Squaresoft, best known for their Final Fantasy series of role playing games, has an ugly side to them. This comes in the form of a long forgotten game called King's Knight. I myself have followed Squaresoft's releases for many years, but I had never even... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428614913668 Sat, 3 May 2008 16:12:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428614913668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428359192196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - In modern times the horror genre has fallen on hard times - directors just don't seem to have it within themselves to innovate anymore. This is why we're seeing a constant flurry of remakes which include everything from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428359192196 Thu, 1 May 2008 02:31:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428359192196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425929576068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - The Sega Genesis didn't have a huge lineup of RPGs. This was a problem seeing as how the genre was becoming more and more popular in the Genesis' height of popularity, and so Sega decided to make their own Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy equivalent in the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425929576068 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:38:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425929576068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426952265348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - I've always held the personal sentiment that the developer Treasure is a bit overrated. This usually falls on angry ears, but outside of Gunstar Heroes, the legendary Radiant Silvergun, and Ikaruga I haven't really enjoyed much. I always assumed that was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426952265348 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:45:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426952265348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403347967620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - If ever there was an unappreciated video game character than it's certainly Kirby. Nintendo's pink puffball has always taken the backseat to Zelda, Mario, Metroid and just about every other mascot Nintendo can throw out there, and it's actually quite... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403347967620 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 10:24:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403347967620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426841509508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - OutRun is a game that I wasn't too familiar with until just fairly recently. Now I'm not the biggest fan of racing games, and that's why I've procrastinated playing what's often described as the most innovative racer from it's time - the one that went on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426841509508 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 10:16:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426841509508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426823028356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - The original Space Harrier was one of Sega's first real hits in the arcade scene.

The game went above and beyond anything anyone thought was possible on the Super Nintendo - it's graphics actually managed to put even 32-bit games of the time to shame.
