A Cinematic Experience!!!...

Sat, 25 Nov 2000 06:50:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - After all the hype for this game it's good to see that Konami has made one of the best games for the Playstation console, period.

The game takes place on Shadow Moses Island near Alaska, where the government is running a prototype of a...

Half-Life For Windows, Mac: All you AWP whores...

Thu, 23 Nov 2000 06:36:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - Haha, THIS is the single reason I ever bought Half-Life... In fact, I have never played the original Half-Life and never, and also I expect sales for Half-Life to drop, mainly cuz they're releasing CS as a stand-alone mod...

Most ppl should...

Iomega Zip USB Drive: AMF (Always Means Fun!)

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 10:43:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - I got this nice little drive and I have been satisfied with it ever since. Iomega has certainly done a good job with its products so far, so this one is no surprise, either. But I must really congratulate the company on this one: It offers Plug-and-Play,...

3Dfx Voodoo3 3000: This is one loser of a card!

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 04:17:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - After the success of the Voodoo and the Voodoo 2, everyone was expecting that 3dfx would take the 3D performance crown again. No one really expected it to happen this way.

The Voodoo 3 enjoyed only a short time at the top, before it was...

Dirt-cheap but reliable

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 03:46:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - This scanner gives new meaning to the term "quick and easy". The installation was fast and totally flawless, all I had to do was pop the scanner in, turn on the power, install the drivers, and you are done. There you are, it's ready to...

Elsa GLADIAC MX: Cousin to the GTS packs a punch

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 03:28:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - First, a bit of background info on the MX. It is essentially a scaled down verision of its big brother the GTS, with slower clock speed and what's more it runs on SDR, with no DDR versions available. Obviously nVidia is trying to dominate the budget...

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5: Beats Netscape hands down

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 01:45:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - I can't really say I like Bill Gates and the Microsofties, but you have to give it to them: Microsoft has won the browser war -- again. The release of Internet Explorer 5.5 almost totally trashed Netscape. Not only is Netscape's current offering,...

Great sound at a killer sound

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 21:17:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - This is a great set of speakers! For the price of below $100, which is in the bargain basement, you get 3D positional audio and the great sound you would expect in higher-end speakers.

Once you open the package, you see the satellites. Wow,...

Not a vegetable after all !!!

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 12:08:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - When people talk about a Pentium III, they think power-user. When people talk Celeron, they think value. When the first Celerons at 266 and 300 Mhz debuted, only freaks would buy them. Without any L2 cache, the original Celerons were reduced to painful...

Creative Sound Blaster PCI128: Great value-for-money!!!

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 11:50:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - When I got this card, I was prepared to see a typical budget card: Not-so-great performance and features that are next-to-none. But Creative really impressed with the PCI 128. While some may argue that the actual product was designed by Ensoniq, are you...

ATI Radeon 64MB DDR: Total screamer with tons of features

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 11:38:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - ATi has been a very successful comany. While nVidia and 3dfx duke it out for the performance crown, with such descriptive adjectives like "Ultra" and etc thrown in for good measure, ATi has been pretty much content with making not-so-small...

ATi's new board falls short

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 11:08:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - One look at the MAXX and you probably manage to convince yourself that this card is a whopping screamer. It should be that way, shouldn't it? I mean, look at the 64 megs of memory, plus we essentially have two Rage 128 chips on one card.

3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP: Not up to par with Geforce 2

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 10:36:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jinsengchs_sg - I've been a 3dfx fan, but coupled with the not-very successful Voodoo 3 series, I must say that nVidia takes the crown again as the performance leader (sad to say) with the Geforce 2 GTS and Ultra...

The 5500 comes with 2 VSA-100 (Voodoo...
