Brings the best from it's predecessors together

Mon, 31 Mar 2003 16:03:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - The first Tenchu was a great ninja game. The enemies seemed almost random in their looking about, and fought with honor (aka, some were quite tough to kill).

The second one weakened the grappling hook so you were no longer Spider-man, and...

Cheap and wonderful

Mon, 3 Mar 2003 19:31:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - I've come across many discmans in my time. Most of them Sony's, one Rio, one iRiver, and one Aiwa. You can tell from my other reviews that the Sony models bit because in order to expand the battery life, the amplifier in the Discman's weren't powerful...

The first decent 3D Mortal Kombat

Fri, 10 Jan 2003 00:12:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - Mortal Kombat has been struggling with breaking into the realm of 3D fighting for some time now. The 4th in the series was pretty lame, although everything after the second MK I regarded as beating a dead horse. The MK franchaise started out with blood...

This one will last you a long time

Sat, 9 Nov 2002 12:41:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - Timesplitters 2 is about a billion times better than the original, and leaves all other console First Person Shooters (FPS) in the dust. In terms of computer FPS, I enjoyed playing this more than anything from the Quake series, and Unreal Tournament...

For that specific purpose, the 490 is worth it

Mon, 30 Sep 2002 23:04:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - I'm a rare breed of audiophile. While there are many poor audiophiles out there, who have that one marvelous piece of equipment in their life, I am the "portable audiophile". I want the best sounding music on the road. I'm also a poor audiophile,...

It's not for everyone; is it for you?

Fri, 27 Sep 2002 00:35:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - First off, finding iRiver products is very difficult in North America. Especially if you don't feel like going through online sources - honestly, online shopping sucks for those of us who wants the product NOW. For those of you in the Greater Toronto...

Warcraft III For Windows: A flawed, but still great game

Fri, 23 Aug 2002 06:16:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - All in all, this is one of the weakest games Blizzard has released. That's not saying it's bad, but I did expect something better. But before I start shooting off in random directions let's create order from the Reign of Chaos.

Graphics: We...

The price is right, but there's more to it.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - My last bike was a hybrid, and it served me well over the years. However I wanted a bike this year which would be for dry use only, and would cover distances of about 80 miles in a day. Since this was the only bike which fit in my price range as far as...

A great game sacked by bugs

Thu, 22 Aug 2002 08:03:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - The X Box game market was pretty dry when Morrowind hit the shelves. Since Spiderman, we were gameless, and Morrowind was the light at the end of the tunnel. The game was postponed for over a month, most likely to squash the remaining bugs in the game...

There's more to it than just the games.

Thu, 14 Feb 2002 20:34:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - The X-Box is both good and bad, and is going up against the PS2 in terms of the lead console. I believe that the PS2 is currently kicking it's butt in terms of game lineups, but that's not to say the X-Box is without save.

First of all, the...

Wow...that sucked....

Wed, 31 Oct 2001 02:23:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - Seriously, this game needs help. Sure it's cool that you control 4 different characters with their own unique skill. Apparently the training budget is quite low, so people can only learn how to do one thing. Carter - the leader of the group - can do...

Devil May Cry for PlayStation 2: An 'almost' perfect game.

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 02:44:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - You're given a big sword, two oversized Desert Eagles, and a legion of evil demons to fight. And Capcom has refined such mindless killing into an art form.

Gameplay

1. Movement

Let me begin by saying that if you...

Namco's little faith in North Americans

Thu, 11 Oct 2001 03:00:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - Okay, one point is scratched off the top immediately! When Namco released Time Crisis II in Japan, the GunCon 2 is a perfectly cool black gun. But North America's release gets a bright orange gun. Excuse me, but I feel a bit insulted. Because the...

Not as scary as SH1, but still a great game

Mon, 8 Oct 2001 02:56:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - I used to have to sleep with the lights on; Post-Silent Hill complex. I don't just mean a night light....that made it even worse. Despite awkward controls, a nonsensical storyline, and blocky graphics, Silent Hill 1 made up for all that with pure...

It was faster before Extreme G3

Fri, 7 Sep 2001 02:48:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - Okay, I got F-Zero awhile ago. Then I rented Extreme G3 racing. Now the hovercars seem slow, and the courses seem flat (of course they are flat, but it emphisizes it). However, I cannot play EG3 on the subway, and this is an F-Zero review after all...

I need more midichlorians!

Thu, 6 Sep 2001 06:21:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - All right, first of all, Pod Racers is Mario Kart compared to this game, in terms of both speed and artillery. I have only reached the 650 engine in the 500 engine class game and already I'm smashing into every single wall. Well let's see how well you...

Did we need another RE2?

Wed, 5 Sep 2001 04:08:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - No no no no! If it weren't for the Devil May Cry demo, I would've tossed this game back to the evil store whence it came. But like all people, I didn't realize the game would suck. To be more pointed, I didn't realize the game would be like Resident...

The game's great for about 10 minutes

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 08:34:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - Okay when I first saw the intro (when it switches to in game graphics), I couldn't believe it was in game. It blew me away. Now this is from someone who has watched the Final Fantasy Movie, so that is not an easy task to do. The cars look fantasic...

I was torn between sides.

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 08:10:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - At times during this movie, I was cheering for the bandits, simply because the farmers were annoying the saké outta me. The movie itself has wonderful cinematography, directing, and acting all around. That wasn't what bothered me. It was the plot. 7...

The game for us older gamers

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 23:33:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - Hands down, this is my favourite PS2 game currently availible. It might have been the change of pace that appealed to me so much. I've been a gamer for as long as the NES has been around. I've played them all, and I'm personally getting tired of...

Whack a Mole Vs. TMB

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 23:08:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - I have to say that it's pretty close between the two. Whack a Mole has the physical beating things, while TMB has a wicked atmosphere. That's the main thing about TMB actually; the atmosphere sucks you in from the title screen onward. The game is very...

Kind of like watching grass grow

Mon, 18 Jun 2001 03:29:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - Yeah, that's right. A ONE OUT OF FIVE! All these no good praisers of this game obviously haven't played a good game in ages, if ever because this game sucks it down 100%. And now I'll explain in great detail why it sucks so bad.

First of...

This is not PS2!!!!!!

Mon, 21 May 2001 06:15:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - I was led to this game with the promise of hardcore lesbian action. Well, they lied. This was the promotion for the game. This is apparently the highlight.

And I guarantee you that you will be dissappointed. The characters are blocky and...

SSX for PlayStation 2: I hate sports games....

Mon, 21 May 2001 05:58:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - I can't stand 99% of them. The occasional racing games I've liked (Top Gear ruled!), but never skateboard, snowboard, golf, hockey, basketball...you get the idea. The only reason I rented SSX was because everyone was yammering so much, and everything...

Despite it's flaws, you can't beat the storage.

Sat, 5 May 2001 04:06:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mr_chupon99 - I once purchased a CD MP3 player. I can honestly say that it was the biggest piece of junk that ever came out of an assembly plant. So when I gave up on getting your normal mp3 player (can't get the Intel Pocket Concert where I live, and the rest suck...
