Come Get Some!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - I remember seeing the trailers on television for the theatrical release of this film. Back then it was advertised as being the third in a series of films (unknown to me at the time), which is probably why I did not check it out in the theater. Why should...

Is this REAL?

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 14:42:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - Never has a game attempted to do so much. Never has a game been this realistic. Never has a game made me giggle like a schoolgirl. Until Shenmue.

If you haven't been introduced to Sega's first Saga-Adventure game, Shenmue has been...

Crápola

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 16:39:42 GMT
rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - Fighting Force was a decent beat-em-up game for the PC, N64 and Playstation a few years earlier. Seasoned gamers, looking for a similar experience to the classic Streets of Rage or Double Dragon, met this game with open arms. The nostalgic multiplayer...

Where the hell are the Answers?

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - Where the hell are the Answers?

If there is one book that I had to choose to bring with me a deserted island, it would be “The book of Questions.” I’ve had this little pocket companion for about 5 years now, and I can definitely say that it...

Sega Dreamcast Grey Console: Dream a little Dreamcast

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 13:48:57 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - The Sega Dreamcast is just over a year old and despite the Playstaion 2's dramatic entry into the game market, the Sega Dreamcast still has a strong user base and hundreds of quality games. Some may be wondering why I’m wasting my time writing a review...

Hands off my WORM!

Tue, 20 Feb 2001 11:23:22 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - How many WORMS does it take to destroy the enemy?

WORMS is not about violence. It’s not about action. Nor is it about slimy Oligochaetes (segmented worms) slithering around terrorizing people. WORMS Armageddon is all about strategy. Like a...

Now the Palm Sucks in COLOR!

Fri, 16 Feb 2001 16:24:44 GMT
rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - The Palm IIIc (the “c” stands for color if you are stupid) is an expected upgrade for the long line of outdated PDA’s known as Palms. This review will focus primarily on the color LCD display of this unit and will not go into depth of the basic features...

Game, Good Game (N64)

Fri, 16 Feb 2001 13:11:16 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - Does this game match up to Goldeneye?- the legendary first person shooter for the Nintendo 64... It should, Eurocom pretty much designed this game after the mega hit Nintendo 64 game, which came out 4 years back and continues to be a top seller. Most...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - What's better than a Free Internet?

An Internet that works.

Businesses that jumped on the free Internet Service Provider (ISP) bandwagon a few years back felt that giving away free access to the internet in exchange...

It’s Craptacular! X

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 16:51:02 GMT
rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - If you’ve seen my opinion on the Palm V model, then you may be wondering why this opinion is almost the same thing. Well that because these two models of Palms are almost the same. They feature pretty much the same things, only this one is an upgrade- so...

It's Craptacular!

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 16:22:56 GMT
rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - I’ve owned a Palm V for well over a year now and I can safely say that even though it was provided to me by my workplace and I haven’t paid a cent for it, it’s NOT worth the $400 that was paid for it.

What amazes me that this device is made by...

A great interactive "B-Movie," but where are the big breasts?

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 12:44:57 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - Resident Evil 2 is a classic. It’s to video games as Hitchcock’s Psycho is to movies. It was this game, originally released for the PlayStation in 1997, that spawned a series of Resident Evil- clones, most of which have not achieved the popularity nor...

The Cadillac of Vacuum Cleaners

Fri, 2 Feb 2001 12:59:02 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - I decided that it was time to get my parents a new vacuum cleaner. They have been struggling with an old jalopy that had more electrical and duct tape around it than dirt and dust inside of it. The darn thing really didn’t even suck anymore, it just kind...

Who wants to Beat Up the makers of this game?

Wed, 24 Jan 2001 18:29:31 GMT
rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I have played this game. It’s really that bad. Simon and Schuster (or whatever) Interactive is known for its video game parodies and crazy themed games. They are the ones that came out with Deer Avenger: the game...

Somebody at HP screwed up.

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 23:53:20 GMT
rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - After my first CDRW drive (an ACER 2x2x8) died an agonizing and painful death, I picked up this low end Hewlett Packard as a suitable replacement. It wasn’t the fastest drive available, but with the problems that my previous drive gave me, I felt as...

Sony Spressa Professional: Burn Baby Burn!

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 23:47:40 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - This is a Review of the Sony 12x8x32x CRX160E-A1

My third CDRW drive will probably be my last. I say this because this drive is PERFECT. Sony, which also supplies the CDRW hardware to produce HP CDRW drives had created a winner with this one...

Crash and Burn

Mon, 22 Jan 2001 17:01:26 GMT
rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - This was my first burner. I was looking for and affordable burner and luckily this one was fast (at the time) and cheap (only $150). So I snatched it up and began what will become one of my biggest hobbies: burning CD’s.

The setup was a breeze...

Look Mom, I can dunk!

For the hardcore gamer only.

Fri, 1 Dec 2000 15:48:33 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - I do have to give CAPCOM a round of applause for supporting the Dreamcast with a wide variety of quality games at reasonable prices. I was never a big fan of two dimensional shooters, the games where you fly around in some kind of craft and shoot...

Samsung SCH 3500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone: Samsung's "StarTac"

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 13:49:50 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - Happy to finally get out of a 2 year cellular contract. I was quickly sucked into a Digital phone plan. I had to pay out for the phone with this plan, which set me back a cool $150. This is one of the best investments I have ever made.

The people who made this game should be shot!

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 18:54:43 GMT
rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - Hot on the heels of Tony Hawk Pro Skater's success THQ decided to take a break from mass producing Wrestling games, and produce a Tony Hawk Clone for a quick buck. Only something went terribly wrong in the lab and we are left with a totally worthless...

Kinda makes you think rollerblading isn't that gay.

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 13:59:59 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - If you are reading this review, then shame on you, you should be grinding the streets of Tokyo-to!

Every once and a while I will sit and wonder what happened to those old classic games from the late 80s- early 90s. The ones that were so new and fun...

No No NO!

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 12:41:20 GMT
rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mmconhea - Acclaim has become the new symbol of bad games. I recommend organizing protests against this company for this kind of slop. With SEGA sports engineering a masterpiece of football gaming each year with it's NFL series, you'd expect Acclaim to put a little...
