FedEx Express Saver: Farting With Pants Down - Unnecessary

Tue, 25 Sep 2001 19:35:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - One of the most interesting phenomenon I ever faced in my life is with Fedex. They managed a guideline that's so meaningless and useless, it is as if I have to take off my pants everytime I fart.

I ordered some camera equipments from a company...

Final Fantasy IX for PlayStation 1: Well, it is better than FF8.

Fri, 20 Jul 2001 21:59:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Well, for me, I hated FFVIII. I mean, it is a good game, but I hated the way we have to play it. I think the idea of "junction" isn't too bad, but the idea of "draw" is perhaps the dumbest thing in the world. It makes the game boring, just like Chrysler...

100 Ways To Humiliate Yourself By Paying Things You Don't Need to

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 22:08:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - This book should have been titled "100 Ways To Humiliate Yourself By Paying Things You Don't Need to" instead of Final Fantasy IX Guide.

Apparently some morons in Brady Games/PlayOnline think by putting ANYTHING online into a book is a...

RealPlayer: More bugs than "A Bug's Life"

Sun, 24 Jun 2001 10:49:35 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Real Player is easily the buggiest popular software I've ever used, period. I can't believe how this software actually got out and allow people to download it and use it. So far I've used and heard the software on at least 7 different machines and they...

Shenmue for Dreamcast: Go watch a movie, or read a book instead

Fri, 22 Jun 2001 07:57:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - It'll be crazy for anyone to say Shenmue stinks, and it'll be crazy for me to say so too. However, as a GAME, which is universally understood as "an activities with rules, people involve for recreation purposes," Shenmue stinks like hell. However, just...

Grandia II for Dreamcast: A Few Twists Shorts Of A Masterpiece

Wed, 20 Jun 2001 07:55:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - I've never been so disappointed about a game before; now, I am not saying this game is disappointing. It's the fact that this game has pretty much ALL the elements that makes up a masterpiece; it just fell short ever-so-slightly.

With all the...

Chrono Cross for PlayStation 1: If we don't compare it to Chrono Trigger...

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 05:44:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Before anything else, the release of Chrono Cross is already facing itself with the biggest obstacle of all: Whether or not, it will eventually be compared to Chrono Trigger, quite possibly the best RPG in the SNES platform, or all platforms. So, let's...

Hollowly Funny

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 04:36:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Let me get one thing straight, I am never a big fan of farce, or low-comedy if you say it. I've never liked most Saturday Night Live comedies nor do I ever enjoy myself with The Three Stooges or Ace Ventura. A lot of them are funny...

Visually Appealing, Thematically Degrading

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 04:01:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - David Guterson's evocative novel Snow Falling On Cedars falls a little bit short on the silver screen. From the acclaimed director Scott Hicks (Shine), Snow Falling On Cedars carries over his technical visual wits. However, the movie falls...

Legend of Dragoon for PlayStation 1: Great Legend hindered by average gameplay

Sat, 22 Jul 2000 21:34:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - The Legend Of Dragoon is Sony's first attempt to create a big time RPG. Well, frankly I am impressed with what they've came up as a whole, but I can't be satisfied too much. Like a lot of newly developed RPG games, this game has some serious flaw...

Red Violin-A Thematics Exploration

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 11:00:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - The Red Violin is a unique tale of a violin that spans about 4 centuries. On the surface it is just a historical retelling of its story, but in reality, the violin represents a powerful symbol of catalyst. Why I am saying it is a catalyst is...

Of a higher level....

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 12:59:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - MTV2 is perhaps the most "insightful" music channel available to us so far. I don't know what is wrong with MTV now, why do they still call it Music Television anyway? It's not getting any better than Jerry Springer or whoever that has incest...

Logic VS Illogic

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 08:00:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Me, Myself and Irene is a rather self-contradicting movie in the sense that part of the movie makes perfect sense, and part of the movie makes totally no sense. I'll first summarize my thought on this movie in a few words: "Great comedy with...

The "Hypodermic Needle" In Film Making

Tue, 13 Jun 2000 06:00:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Every once in a while, there will be a movie that rises above the boundaries of film making; creating a milestone and totally break through the standard set forth. The definition of a masterpiece sets on stage upon such phenomenon. Andrei...

Star Ocean for PlayStation 1: An Ocean Of Learning

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 05:41:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Beware gamers! Before you even start playing Star Ocean please be mentally prepared to spend a LOT of time into this game. No, I am not talking about its lengthy 86 different endings, nor the lengthy amount of skills you can learn. But just getting to...

Grandia for PlayStation 1: Engaging and Innovative

Sun, 5 Mar 2000 05:30:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Grandia is perhaps one of the most engaging RPG in a long while. Please, do not compare Grandia to Final Fantasy or whatever. Grandia is not a technology showcase like FF8, but gameplay-wise it surely surpasses its strong competition. Don't get me wrong,...

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (B23-00079) for PC: Great Combination Of 95/98 and NT

Wed, 1 Mar 2000 05:53:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Windows 2000 Professional is perhaps the best operating system up to date so far. It intergrates the ease of use of Windows 95/98 and the stable system of its NT ancestors. The result is a easy-to-use operating system with trememdous stability. I use...

MP3 CD Maker: MP3 CD Maker, ultimate MP3 AudioCD Maker

Mon, 3 Jan 2000 00:19:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - The time is finally here, we can now record MP3 files to audio CD with one single click. Sure you can change MP3 files to .WAV files, and then burn a CD from .wav files. But no one has experience such convenient experience with MP3 CD Maker, just one...

Macmillan MusicMatch Jukebox (1575954494): Awesome ripper, Complicating Player

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 23:46:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Well, MusicMatch Jukebox is what its name signifies, a very powerful jukebox that supports almost every type of sound formats. However, if you are planning on using it to play your musics I think you are going to have a hard time doing it; mainly because...

GetRight: More than claimed!

Sat, 1 Jan 2000 22:23:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - GetRight is claimed to be a download resuming utility that saves you from broken downloads, but in fact, it is MUCH more than just that.

Generally, you can say Getright is a download scheduler that lets you set stuff for downloading given...

Sun Netscape 6 (NTS9S-600CD9BA) for Unix: Secure Browser -- Java Crasher

Sat, 1 Jan 2000 22:03:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - I really really want to give Netscape a 5 star, but unless they fix their damn Java glitch I'll have to settle with 4. I have always been a faithful Netscape user but with the popular demands for Java these days, I just can't stand that Java Script...

Point Blank 2 with Guncon for PlayStation 1: Addictingly Fun!

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 08:01:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - For American gamers, Point Blank 2 might be a little bit unfamiliar. However, back in Japan and some Asian countries it was a rather big arcade hit back in the early 93 or 94; and it was Point Blank 1 then (called GunBullet in Japan). I saw it in Las...

Gran Turismo 2 for PlayStation 1: Gran Turismo 2 - Driving Is A Reality

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 02:54:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Finally Gran Turismo 2 hit the US market after such a long wait...I can't help myself rushing to the store first thing I know it has arrived. And with such a successful and powerful ancestor above it, many may question: How is GT2 going to surpass the...

Contra Adventure: Konami America.....

Sun, 12 Dec 1999 21:21:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Ok, I think it is time to ask those American game designers to get some new jobs. Perhaps beer vendor, pizza delivery boys or wrestlers are pretty decent job for a taste as this one. C'MON!

I have never thought a dynasty of a good game can be...

R4 Ridge Racer Type 4 for PlayStation 1: Fun, unreal, can be better...

Sat, 11 Dec 1999 09:14:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author labyrinth - Before R4 comes out, it is compared a lot to Gran Turismo, the best racing game ever in my opinion. Well, I have to say, this is NOT a Gran Turismo killer, in fact, it is NOWHERE close to GT. However, R4 is a fairly easy game with some fun, you don't...
