A Frustrating Waste of Time and Money

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:29:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - If you are reading this review then I'm sure you've probably seen the television ad for this product (a low-budget infommercial that was probably filmed sometime during the early 90s). In the ad they explain the technology behind the product and...

Deodorant/Cheap Cologne in One!

Thu, 20 Jan 2005 03:58:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - There really isn't much to write about (it's deodorant spray for goodness' sake), so I will keep this review short and to the point. I'm sure that most of you are familiar with AXE body products, probably due to the commercials that aired last year...

Rushed?

Wed, 19 Jan 2005 03:54:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - I must admit that the only reason I went to watch Elektra was because Bob Sapp played a minor role in it. In case you don't know (and that is probably the case), Bob Sapp is an ex-NFL player turned ultimate fighter/kickboxer/Japanese megastar. He...

Def Jam is Back

Thu, 6 Jan 2005 00:38:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - The first game was a surprisingly fun one. The premise may be a bit coarse (a bunch of rap stars and inner city thugs using crazy wrestling moves to kick the stuffing out of each other), but the game itself had something a lot of other gamaes today...

What Real Fights Look Like

Sat, 21 Aug 2004 19:07:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - Forget Jet Li. Forget Van Damme. Forget the endless kung fu movies you’ve watched as a kid, with stars ranging from David Carradine to Bruce Lee. Believe it or not, none of the fights in those films are anything close to realistic. In truth, many...

Piece of Junk Won't Last you 3 Months

Tue, 22 Jun 2004 19:04:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - This will be a short review about my experiences with this game pad. My Experience I first received this game pad from a friend who somehow got it for free. It was in an open box but was basically new. So I thanked hima nd used the game...

Motorola V300: Ooh It Feels Good

Fri, 18 Jun 2004 02:50:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - When I lost my Motorola v70, I went to the T-Mobile retailer and checked out their selection. I use T-Mobile because it works fine in my area (Northern New Jersey), and because they offer the best plans with most minutes for the dollar. The two phones...

Realistic Fighting

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 01:00:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - Next to PRIDE FC, this is as realistic as fighting games get. Intro For those of you who do not know, K1 is an organization that features some of the greatest kickboxers in the world. It is open to any martial arts discipline that...

This is a Solid Racing Game

Tue, 9 Mar 2004 09:40:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - To put it in a nutshell, this is, in my opinion, the best racing game out there. Yes, I like this even more than Gran Turismo 3, which was also a very, very solid game. Well, with Gran Turismo 4 lurking just around the corner, a lot of...

Not bad... Not Bad At All!

Sat, 17 Jan 2004 02:30:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - After a slew of failures, we generally come to expect a movie-based game (or game-based movie, TV show-based game, etc) to be a total failure. The first game, The Two Towers, surprised a lot of us when it was actually playable. Well that game is...

FFXI REVIEW UPDATED 12/06/03

Thu, 30 Oct 2003 23:32:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - To start off let me just explain that ePinions has not yet added Final Fantasy XI for the PC to its database, which is why I'm writing my review here. I have the PC version as you may have guessed, but I doubt it differs TOO much from the...

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for Super Nintendo: A Great Forgotten Treasure

Sat, 25 Oct 2003 18:11:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - Oh my, it must have been a good 7 or 8 years since I first played this game. I think I rented it just to see what it was like because Mortal Kombat 2 was out or something. Little did I know that my first RPG experience ever would turn out to be one of m...

Big Bang for Small Buck

Wed, 22 Oct 2003 06:02:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - A couple weeks ago during a move, my $220 Klipsch speakers... well, let's just say that they are no longer functional. I really needed a decent speaker system for a low price, and so I searched a bit until a friend recommended this model, the Logitech...

A New Type of Game for a New Type of Sport

Tue, 21 Oct 2003 17:26:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - For those of you who don't know, PRIDE FC is a Japanese Mixed Martial Arts organization, similar to its American counterpart, the UFC. However, because the sport of MMA (a.k.a. "ultimate fighting") is much more popular in Japan than it is h...

Sat, 18 Oct 2003 00:16:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - Introduction to the World of Mixed Martial Arts For those of you who know little or nothing about a new phenomenon called "Mixed Martial Arts," or MMA, it essentially began with the birth of an organization called the UFC (Ultimate...

Wasted Potential. How Sad.

Sat, 13 Jul 2002 02:56:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - Ever watch Bloodsport? If you did and you liked it (and obviously want more OF it), then The Circuit will be somewhat of a disappointment. If you don't like fighting movies as a whole, then there is absolutely no reason to even think...

The End? Nope! Guess Again!!

Sun, 23 Jun 2002 02:10:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - These days, there are few movies that can offer both intelligence and extreme action. Stephen Spielberg's Minority Report is one of these rare masterpieces. I was absolutely stunned at how suspenseful the overall feature was; the film kept...

General Review for the General Test-Taker

Fri, 21 Jun 2002 12:02:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - To answer the first question that probably pops into your head, I took the SAT I twice, scoring 1540 and 1560 respectively (740 and 760 in verbal). Yes, I was one of those obsessive high school students back in the day (which actually wasn’t that...

Black, White, Yellow, Red; We Are All the Same

Fri, 14 Jun 2002 22:04:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - Black Boy by the celebrated writer Richard Wright is truly one of American literature’s prized treasures, not for a fancy writing style or a mastery of literary elements, but because it tells the untold story of millions of Afro-Americans during...

Samsung SyncMaster 570V (15 in.) Flat Panel (TFT) Monitor: Good Enough For Me

Thu, 6 Jun 2002 23:03:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - I'll be completely honest. I am not the most educated person in the field of computers. In fact, I can hardly spit any numbers at you (other than maybe the monitor size, resolution and model number), so don't expect any jargon in this review. However,...

Too Old For DBZ? Try This Out!

Tue, 4 Jun 2002 01:23:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - A few years ago, a friend coerced me into reading the first book (a compilation of about 3 or 4 issues which are printed monthly) of the Blade of the Immortal series by Hiroaka Samura. At the time I wasn't really interested (you rarely are when...

The Glory of Dux-Ryu*

Mon, 3 Jun 2002 17:52:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - One of the cheesiest genres of movies is probably the fighting movie which usually includes a ton of special effects, an underdeveloped plot, horrid acting, and some type of explosion or other at the end. Bloodsport, like any other film of the...

A New Series?

Sun, 2 Jun 2002 23:36:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pendragen - Final Fantasy X is quite different from its nine predecessors. It is by far the most linear game of the series, and although some will like the change others will be disappointed that the Final Fantasy saga seems to be coming to an end...
