They consistently translate games that English audiences would otherwise have no chance of ever playing, and unlike most publishers they... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~491854204548 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:04:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_491854204548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_490253094532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - I'm somewhat of a cynic when it comes to fantasy novels/movies. Even so, the Wizard of Oz holds a special place in my heart and I still watch it on an annual basis. I didn't know what to expect when I first heard that a role playing game based on the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~490253094532 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:02:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_490253094532?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_486971182724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - It's no secret; Final Fantasy IV (originally released as Final Fantasy II in the US) is my favorite game of all time. It's the one game I've played through in excess of thirty times from start to finish and I still boot it up on an annual basis.

It's sequel was a failed attempt to complicate the storyline and developed the series' villain into the heap of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~486740233860 Thu, 1 Oct 2009 15:02:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_486740233860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438889123460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - Amongst the Nintendo Wii's launch (or near launch) games there wasn't a lot that interested me. In other words, there was Zelda, and that was about it. If it weren't for a little game from Konami called Elebits it might have been one of the worst... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438889123460 Wed, 13 May 2009 16:24:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438889123460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_469749501572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - Side Scrollers were once the main genre of video games, but these days they seem to mostly be relegated as strictly 'niche'. The reason we see so few new ones these days is because of how infrequently the companies that make them are rewarded... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~469749501572 Mon, 11 May 2009 16:15:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_469749501572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_469661421188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - For the most part, film adaptations of Stephen King stories have not lived up to their potential. Most of the time there's no in between as far as quality is concerned - they're either bad or good. That's not to say that it never happens, but... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~469661421188 Fri, 8 May 2009 13:23:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_469661421188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_469430013572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - Sports based anime is something that I've always enjoyed. Slam Dunk, Prince of Tennis, and even Hikaru no Go (though not technically based on a 'sport') were among the few series that have held my attention all the way through. Among this sub-genre one... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~469430013572 Wed, 6 May 2009 02:24:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_469430013572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_468136332932?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - It's not often that a film takes me by complete surprise. I have a good idea of what I like, and I usually research movies before renting/watching them so that I have a pretty good idea of whether or not I'll enjoy it before even pushing the play button... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~468136332932 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:46:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_468136332932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_467577900676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - As a long time fan of the Harvest Moon series I was delighted to see it taken in a new direction with Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon for the Nintendo DS. This blend of the classic HM elements (farming, life simulation) along with that of a action... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~467577900676 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:07:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_467577900676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_467254873732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - George A. Romero's 'Living Dead' is ultimately responsible for the modern zombie horror film as we know it today. Both Night of the Living Dead and Dawn were brilliant, as was Land of the Dead (though to a smaller extent). The undisputed black sheep of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~467254873732 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:57:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_467254873732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_466072604292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - Resident Evil has long been considered the premiere survival horror series. The zombie blasting, puzzle solving horror fest became immediately popular, so much that the series has spanned several sequels over nearly every system since it's premiere.

You see, back when this game was released in Japan, Nintendo assumed that us weaker gamers (basically everyone outside of Japan) couldn't handle the insane... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~464884502148 Mon, 6 Apr 2009 17:40:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_464884502148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_464379022980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - The original Fable was easily one of the more controversial games released on Microsoft's first Xbox console. No, the game didn't have a hidden sex scene nor did it allow you to perform drive by shootings. Fable was a western style action RPG which... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~464379022980 Fri, 3 Apr 2009 18:27:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_464379022980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_464894070404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - John Carpenter's Halloween was a groundbreaking film. It may not have been the first horror slasher, but it definitely helped propel the sub-genre to massive heights during the 80s. Any self respecting movie fan knows that when someone's struck a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~464894070404 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 02:26:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_464894070404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_464107441796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - As far as I'm concerned Dead Rising was the breakout hit on the Xbox 360. Nobody knew what to expect from this brand new idea from expert survival horror developer Capcom, and I for one didn't have much hope. Dead Rising turned out to be... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~464107441796 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 21:25:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_464107441796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_463906705028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - The Dragon Quest series is, in my humble opinion, the most consistent series of role playing games around. Across eight installemnts there's only been one that I would consider below average. Even then the quality of the others more than makes up... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~463906705028 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 23:13:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_463906705028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_461841731204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - When I first heard of Namco Bandai's Retro Game Challenge I was pretty excited. The game was announced as a compilation of original games developed to take the appearance of retro 8-bit games like the ones you may find on the Nintendo Entertainment... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~461841731204 Tue, 3 Mar 2009 01:18:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_461841731204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_461389926020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - I can't help but feel light-gun shooters are being phased out. It's a sad day to see such an old genre fading away, but there's hope yet. The Nintendo Wii's pointer controller is perfectly designed for this type of game, and as such, the system is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~461389926020 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 23:01:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_461389926020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_459172777604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - The 'Tales of' series of role playing games has had a tragic past. In it's homeland of Japan it is widely celebrated, but in this part of the world very few have even heard of it. Most of the games haven't even been released in English, and because of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~459172777604 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 23:25:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_459172777604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_458441199236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - Rune Factory A Fantasy Harvest Moon is one of my favorite games for the Nintendo DS.

Miyamoto's had never tried his hand at a simulation game of this sort, and the crazy art style was a put off to say the least. I gave the game a chance and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~455111249540 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 21:42:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_455111249540?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_457042398852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeremy1456 - Dragon Quest is, in my opinion, the most consistently good RPG series currently on the market. There have been eight installments in the main series - only one of which I would say isn't amazing.

With that said it's a sure bet that I'd be a sucker for any merchandise related to it - this is one of my worst personality traits.
