Wed, 23 Mar 2005 03:59:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - I've never been compelled to read books, much less review them, but lately I've been voraciously devouring manga*, and the one that tops my list is a niche title called Pet Shop of Horrors (by Matsuri Akino). It was by pure accident that I stumbled upon...

Canon PowerShot G6 - Highly Evolved

Thu, 13 Jan 2005 06:15:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - I am a brand loyalist - when a company's products never cease to impress me, I am a customer for life. I began my love affair with Canon ever since I bought the Canon PowerShot A70 less than two years ago. All the manual features packed in that small,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - Anyone with a digital camera knows that memory cards can get pretty expensive.

The Day After Tomorrow: Temperatures Below Zero, Perfect for Skiing!

Sat, 29 May 2004 02:56:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - I found myself totally blown away as I sat through the latest SFX-laden sci-fi disaster movie, "The Day After Tomorrow."

Scary Movie 3 = Scary Movie Lite

Mon, 27 Oct 2003 01:49:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - There's something different about the third installment in the Scary Movie series - it's not funny. It could be the new direction, new writers or the fact that the Wayans brothers were nowhere in sight. Whatever it was, it'd be pointless to go watch “Scar...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - While waiting for hyped-up titles like Devil May Cry 2 to be released this month, I went looking for something to pass the time away – in particular, something less mainstream and slightly off the beaten path, which led me to Shadow of Destiny...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - Metroid Prime brings back the sort of gaming experience that elates and gratifies, feelings that were conspicuously missing with the last few games I’ve played. With classic gameplay, graphics that kick and enormous environments to...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - Following the success of Animal Crossing in Japan, Nintendo took a risk and released it into the American market, which proved to be a smart move after all – it became a hit for the second time. Animal Crossing is somewhat of a surprise, fitting into...

Mon, 23 Dec 2002 11:49:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - I totally adored (okay, worshipped) my PSX, but was hesitant to buy the Sony PlayStation 2 for several reasons. The launch games, despite a few good titles, didn’t exactly have me hot and bothered. As anyone would tell you, what makes a console...

Mon, 21 Oct 2002 05:23:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - It’s about time I show some love to my all-time favorite: Final Fantasy VII. I know there must be about a thousand reviews already out there, but please, allow me to sing its praises. Even years after its release, I’ve never played a game...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - To capitalize on the suddenly popular genre of gross-out comedy, following the success of "There's Something About Mary", there came a movie about incest, roadkill, and armpit sweat called "Say It Isn't So". Actually, for "Say It Isn't...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - Disney and Squaresoft had a love affair and produced a video game - bet you thought it'd never happen, did you? Well, it did and the name of their lovechild is Kingdom Hearts. You might have shuddered at the thought of these two totally distinct...

Sharing a moment of misery with Kelly Clarkson

Tue, 17 Sep 2002 04:30:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - I didn't follow the America Idol series from beginning to end, but I've seen one or two episodes and I felt Tamyra Grey should've been the winner - and yes, that's based solely on her show-stealing performance of "Minnie the Moocher." She looked...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - Kylie Minogue has been a part of the dance scene since the late 80's when she hit it big with "The Loco-Motion." For the past decade, she continued to put out her infectious brand of dance hits and became a major success in her native Australia...

Ico - What a wonderful journey -

Sun, 1 Sep 2002 07:39:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - I can tell you why Ico is not a runaway success, besides offering up the reason that Sony’s effort to market this game can be described as shamefully nonexistent. The story is less than riveting, the action is far from hardcore, gameplay doesn’t...

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 05:48:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - Squaresoft, apparently, is a bunch of perfectionists gathered to create role-playing games with an acute aesthetic sense, continually raise the standard of game design, and gloat about the glory of the fact that anything marked with “Final...

Dark Cloud: where a review title is not without the mention of Zelda.

Sat, 3 Aug 2002 02:08:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - Dark Cloud is a launch game for the PlayStation 2 that can still hold its own above the console’s meager and utterly disappointing cesspool of an RPG library (this, though is technically an action-RPG). Its light storyline, vibrant graphics,...

Thu, 25 Jul 2002 03:38:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - Many games on PlayStation 2 were developed with mediocrity being the norm, which is quite worrisome for those who, like me, wants to see the console survive. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is no exception in this rather sad state of gaming affairs,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - Let me introduce you to Dante: by far, the sexiest gun-toting, sword-wielding, boot-stomping demonic slayer ever to grace a video game. Along with a hot bod, chic clothes, lustrous white hair and an uncanny ability to wield dual weapons, he has a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author november-rain - Various gaming websites and publications gave Shadow Hearts mediocre reviews, but since I'm naturally drawn to role-playing games (I just so love the genre), I breezed into the video game store to pick up a copy and decide for myself.
