Boat Trip

Horrible. No, that’s a gross understatement. A u-boat should torpedo this movie...seriously. Through the pedantic and ill-advised humor to the over...

Gran Turismo 3 A-spec for PlayStation 2: Good, but not as good as it could be

Sun, 11 Nov 2001 22:17:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - Well, I never remember racing out to the store for any Gran Turismo game, but somehow I have managed to collect all three of them over the past few years. Of course, with the new Playstation 2, you would expect to GT3 to be head and shoulders over the...

There's a man, he goes by the name of Mega Man!

Sun, 11 Nov 2001 04:40:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - Being an avid Nintendo kid, I grew up with the 6 NES Mega Man games, as well as the later ones on Game Boy, SNES, PSx, and the Mega Man X series as well. When the Mega Man cartoon debuted in the mid 1990's, I never quite got into it as much as I thought...

Quake for Nintendo 64: A great strategy-RPG no one's ever heard of.

Sat, 10 Nov 2001 19:05:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - Sometimes, you have to search a little bit harder to find great things. Such is the case with Tactics Ogre, the very obscure sequel to OgreBattle (and quite a different style game too). I remember how difficult a time I had finding this one when it...

Excuuuuse me, Princess!

Sat, 3 Nov 2001 14:20:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - The Legend of Zelda cartoon series aired on Fridays as part of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show over a decade ago. There were only 13 episodes created, though Link and Zelda also appeared on several Captain N episodes after this show was over. Without a...

This is the Triforce of Wisdom, Link!

Two Great Heroes to Protect the Palace of Power!

Thu, 1 Nov 2001 21:30:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - Captain N was undoubtedly my favorite cartoon during my childhood. Being a huge fan of Nintendo, having a cartoon which combined such characters as Mega Man, Kid Icarus, and Simon Belmont, along with Kevin Keane, an unassuming teenager armed with a NES...

Sega Genesis: The Pinnacle of Sega

Thu, 1 Nov 2001 04:40:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - In the late 1980's, Sega realized that their Master System was being dominated by Nintendo's NES system. So, they quickly turned their attention to developing a more powerful system. The result was the new 16-bit Genesis, which quickly overtook the NEC...

Triple Play Baseball for PlayStation 2: Not quite a Triple Play, but not bad.

Wed, 31 Oct 2001 13:55:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - The first of the EA Sports baseball games for Playstation 2, Triple Play looks very impressive on the outside. But is it not without its flaws. Game developers are going to have to work off of the standard this game has set and improve significantly on...

Nintendo NES: My all time favorite!

Sat, 23 Dec 2000 22:55:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - I admit it, I love video games. I play a lot of them, and I own a lot of different consoles. But no matter how many new systems come out, with their technology superior to the last one in line, nothing will ever do anything quite like the NES, for me...

Lunar 2 for PlayStation 1: Yes, it was good for me.

Sat, 23 Dec 2000 17:13:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - Working Designs just keeps getting better and better. There aren't many games that I anticipate getting for nearly a year, but Lunar 2: Eternal Blue was definitely one of them. This remake of the Sega CD classic took everything that made the original...

Nintendo Power Magazine: Nintendo (Advertisement Here) Power

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 05:05:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - There was a time when Nintendo Power was my favorite magazine in the world. I subscribed at an early age and received by monthly issue (and way back when, bi-monthly issue) and page for page read everything in the magazine. Then, about 3 or 4 years ago,...

CashSurfers.com: They're still here...

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 21:55:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - Ok, so the paid-to-surf industry has taken a hit in the last few months. Alright, that's a fairly big understatement. The paid-to-surf industry has nearly died out in the last few months. That better? Many programs have come and gone, without ever...

Legend of Dragoon for PlayStation 1: A nice effort by Sony.

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 01:17:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - Legend of the Dragoon is an RPG by Sony, and it's one of their finer efforts. While LOD doesn't compare to the likes of Final Fantasy or Lunar, etc - it is worth your time to check it out.

You are Dart, a warrior who has just one thing on...

The Terminator still thrills

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 22:28:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica -

Many people believe that “The Terminator” is one of the most influential movies of our time. At first glance, the film may seem like a mindless action “flick”. But “The Terminator” is a story about love, a story about our times, as we become more...

A nice surprise.

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 19:27:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - I went to see Virgin Suicides one night out of boredom. My friends and I certainly weren't expecting much, and besides a few younger kids that had obviously snuck in to see the film, we were the only ones there. Well, we few were actually treated to a...

Archived Web Services Reviews: www.imdb.com - The Internet Movie Database

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 06:27:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - I'm not sure if anyone has reviewed this yet or not, but I'm not about to check the over 700 member reviews for favorite sites :)

I think this is a good idea by Epinions, as it is a good way to tell other members of Epinions about quality...

Money4Surveys: If you want to make easy money, go here.

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 05:42:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - (I couldn't resist the title...)

I've been a fan of the get-paid-to-surf craze since last fall. I've signed up with countless programs, most of them fail, but a handful or so do work. I searched long and hard (well maybe not hard, but I did...

"And boy oh boy, are we gonna have BIG FUN today!"

Thu, 3 Aug 2000 07:01:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - When UHF was first released in 1989, it did not perform very well at the box office. This was due to the fact that it opened the same week as Batman, and there were quite a few other hit movies that were being put out at that time. As a result of bad...

eGroups: eGroups has something for everyone

Sun, 23 Jul 2000 07:10:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - I originally joined eGroups about 2 1/2 years ago, when they were still "Onelist." I signed up and didn't know anything about the whole deal, I just found a topic that I was interested in and noticed there was something on the Onelist site...

Bepaid.com: Advision? My vision is blurry.

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 00:59:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - I signed up for BePaid last December, soon after I signed up with many other paid-to-surf programs. I still use a handful of them, as the ones that work serve me well. BePaid is soon to be off my list. They have lied time and time again.

X-Cellent for humans and mutants

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 02:59:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - Not being the biggest X-Men fan in the world, I'd still been waiting for this movie to come out for a while, especially since this has been a terrible year for movies. I'm sure glad I went out to the theater today.

The X-Men movie focuses on...

Tropicana Field: I've lost a lot of respect for orange juice.

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 01:56:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - Baseball indoors. It doesn't sound right. It doesn't look right. It simply does not seem right. Well believe me, after experiencing a few baseball games from Tropicana Field, I assure you: It ain't right.

Now, I haven't been to the...

Jacobs Field: There's no better place for baseball than Jacobs Field!

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 06:33:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marcmerica - My first trip to Jacobs Field was in 1994, the first year the park opened. Dad never, not even once, took me to a game in Municipal Stadium, to see either the Browns or Indians. While I do wish that he had, from what I've heard I didn't miss too much...
