rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author nova21 - The cell starring Jennifer Lopez has an interesting premise but fails to deliver on it. From the previews, this movie appears to at least trigger people's curiosity. However, once seeing this movie a majority of the people I saw it with agree that this...

For beginners

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 01:26:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nova21 - This epinion is more or less for hiker beginners like myself. I do not go back packing for days or climb the tallest peaks. I'm more of a city slicker who enjoys the views of our national parks once in a while. For fellow beginners, I really suggest...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nova21 - In the real time strategy field, gamers generally only had to contend with the X and Y components of the play field. X as in going across the map, Y in going up or down. Sort of like the graph papers you knew as a kid. With homeworld, the genre is now...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nova21 - By playing Half-life, one is almost automatically incline to buy Opposing forces. This expansion pack extends not only the game play but the story as well. It allows you to play from a soldier point of view.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nova21 - As a gift from a friend, I was pleasantly surprise by how much I enjoyed the game. Re-volt has some nice qualities but is missing one key element from becoming a great game.
