Does Dark Cloud live up to the hype?

Fri, 22 Jun 2001 09:41:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - One thing is for sure, Dark Cloud had a lot of hype before its release. Without a great rpg on the PS2, many role-playing fans were looking forward to this proclaimed zelda killer. Although the game is good, it could be much better.

Super Mario Advance for Game Boy Advance: Where is the GBA's originality

Wed, 20 Jun 2001 10:48:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - Super Mario Advance is a fun game for the Game Boy Advance. However it is nothing new.

The game itself is pretty fun. Unlike most every other Mario adventure there is no Bowser, Koopa Troopas, or anythiing else that will make you feel like...

Finally, Castlevania rises from the ashes

Fri, 15 Jun 2001 09:41:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - It has been 4 years since the last Castlevania release that was worth playing. Castlevania Symphony of the Night was one of the best Playstation games, and is one of the best Castlevania games overall. Ignore the 3-d releases on other systems, that was...

Should have been better for all the hype.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - As a huge rpg gamer, I picked this title up as soon as I got my hands on a ps2. I was delighted and let down at the same time.

The good things first. Summoner has an interesting story line that keeps the game moving. The quality isn't quite...

Pretty good for a free game.

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 18:21:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - Let's face it, 95% of the people who bought this game, bought it for the MGS2 demo. If you don't know what Metal Gear Solid 2 is all about, buy this game now. The demo is worth the fifty bucks. But the game is also pretty good.

Zone of the...

Great fun for puzzle game fans.

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 17:59:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - Super Bust-a-Move is a fun puzzle game for the playstation 2. It has average but cute graphics, and subpar music, but a good selection of levels and a good two player mode.

The best thing about Super BAM is the fact that it is addictive...

Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter for PlayStation 2: A better Star Wars game than most

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 17:42:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - To start off, if you have only watched the films, the story used in this game will have absolutely no meaning to you. The story is taken completely from books only, so don't expect a thrilling shootout between luke and his father. Enough about that,...

Death with an extreme quickness

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 17:23:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - Timesplitters was the first fps (first person shooter) to hit the playstation 2. It remains the best in my opinion.

The first thing a player will notice when they pop this disc in is the quick framerate and great graphics. This game proves...

Good player for the price

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 16:40:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - This opinion is on the dvd-rv30 by pansonic. It is a discontinued model, but now you can pick it up for $150 or less if you shop around. It has some standard features and some extra ones, but it is definitely worth the price.

The best feature...

Great game for short time

Wed, 23 May 2001 16:56:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - The Bouncer was hyped almost as much as the playstation 2 itself. I decided that I would try it out as a rental first because I heard a rumor that the game was too short to deserve a purchase.

Well, the game itself did not disappoint. It...

SSX for PlayStation 2: Best snowboarding game periond.

Wed, 23 May 2001 12:41:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - I have been hearing everybody tell me how SSX is the best playstation 2 game on the market. I took it with a grain of salt since almost all snowboarding games have been less than stellar so far. But, I decided to get it anyways.

Holy Cow,...

Fury Unleashed

Wed, 23 May 2001 12:16:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - I work at Best Buy, and everyday I watch people play this game on the display all day long, while I am working my butt off. I watched several people play, and decided I had to try it. So, I picked up the game when I left. When I popped the disc in, I...

Good game that could have been great

Wed, 23 May 2001 11:52:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - Onimusha: Warlords is a survival horror game for the playstation 2 game console. It has great graphics, a decent soundtrack and some innovative ideas.

The graphics for Onimusha are incredible. Both the in-game and cutscene graphics are...

A decent multi-disc player

Tue, 1 May 2001 22:33:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - This JVC is a basic multiple disc dvd player. It really doesn't do anything to terribly spectacular, but doesn't do anything poorly either.

There aren't any excessive features on this player, which keeps your cost down. If you are looking...

Overall terrific player at a terrific price

Tue, 1 May 2001 22:17:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - This JVC player is perfect for the person who wants it all, but can't afford it all. The player has DVD-Audio capabilities for the best music you can hear. However, they are difficult to find, so that feature may be a bit limited. But even excluding...

Hack-n-Slash Insanity

Thu, 25 Jan 2001 11:12:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I popped this game into my shiny new ps2. It was supposed to be a blend of action and strategy, 2 genres that don't seem like they belong together. I popped in the disk, got passed the loading screen and embarked...

This is what all football games should be.

Wed, 24 Jan 2001 13:21:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - I got this game after I got my ps2, and sat down to play. Now, I didn't know what to expect since the last football game I had played was Madden '97. I popped it in and sat down.

Wow. The game looked absolutely amazing. It was much easier...

Super TV for the price

Wed, 24 Jan 2001 13:05:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - This is a great TV. This is one of the best bargains that I have ever seen. You can't get any better features for the price.

The set has a 3-line digital comb filter for the highest picture resolution you can get on a standard-definition,...

Overall, a pretty good player

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 17:13:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - This RCA model is a pretty good DVD player. It has outputs for DTS, Dolby Digital, component video, and S-Video. It has vcd compatibility, as well as some extra sound features. The picture is pretty good, and its overall performance is pretty solid...

Delivers a body check to all other hockey games

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 03:24:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - Holy cow is the first word that I exclaimed when I popped this disc in. This game is outstanding. The graphics are incredible, the commentary is solid, the sound effects of the pulverizing big hits are great. The game is fluid, although it could be a...

Great game, even if little is new

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 16:53:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - Hello there. I just got my playstation 2 and a few games, and decided to go ahead and review them. The first of these is Tekken Tag Tournament. Now I've played all of the Tekken games, and liked them alot, and this one is no different.

My how things change

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 00:54:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - I played through the first parasite eve, and loved it. It had an interesting, and original story, was loaded with action-packed CG's and blended a survival horror game with RPG battles and other RPG elements. It was one of the better playstation games...

RE with a psychic twist

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 14:25:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - I read the ads for this game, and had to pick it up. 3 discs worth of survival horror with a deep story, and a psychic twist. I popped it into the playstation, expecting a sweet game. With 30-50 hours of gameplay advertised, I was excited about...

The best survival horror game out there!

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 14:08:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - I walked into the game shop one day to look for new products. One game caught my eye that day, and it was Fear Effect. The incredible new technology used for the graphics definitely caught my eye, and the amount of story given by the back cover for the...

Better than RE3

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 13:53:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neverrealm - When I first played this game I was expecting Resident Evil with Dinos. Not such a bad thing, but not such an original thing either. When I played it for the first time I found out I was wrong. After all what scares you more, a few zombies lumbering...
