Fallout 3 should be 2008's Game of the Year and Fallout 3 is a better game by far than the previous Fallout Games.  Even the much venerated Fallout 1.  I have played, or at least tried to play, every Fallout game that has... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~462097911428 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:38:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_462097911428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452002614916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author johnenfield - When reading info about the upcoming movie, Quantum of Solace, I found out that it was based on a novel that Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, had started writing after Casino Royale but never finished.  He went on to write Live and Let Die next... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452002614916 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:09:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452002614916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_445046361732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author johnenfield - Since Star Wars: The Force Unleashed just came out yesterday, I haven't played through the whole game yet.

All of the reviews in the magazines I read said it was not a very good game. My experience with it confirmed that. It has a Kung Foo movie plot: you're... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~364955537028 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:18:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_364955537028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426674982532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author johnenfield - Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated with knights, castles, dragons and other aspects of the Dark Ages.

One of the uses I've found for them is protecting my forearms and shins as part of my Shinai sword fighting armour. To my knowledge, nobody makes pads specificly for fighting... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426542796420 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:23:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426542796420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426538143364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnenfield - I really like baseball. Now, I'm not one of those fans who can quote players or rattle off stats all day long. I'm not that hard core. I do, however, enjoy going to the ball park and watching my local team play.

While the movies leave out a lot that is in the books (they had to unless they wanted to make it a TV series instead of three movies), they capture the magic and themes well.

Here be my review of the latest incarnation of one of the most famous poems in Old-English. If you have heard of the poem and are looking for a movie that illustrates it well, this ain't really it.

In the case of the Transformers, I wouldn't expect anything else. Afterall, the whole Transformers thing was dreamed up by Hasbro as a line of toys which inspired a cartoon series / commercial.
