GranTurismo for your XboX

Wed, 18 May 2005 16:53:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - Strange I find myself in a position to review Forza before GranTurismo4, really. I'm a pretty big fan of that series and have driven each one (except for #4) through 90%+ complete several times over. I've even logged close to 75,000 ingame miles...

The (second) Fastest non-scsi Drive available

Fri, 2 Apr 2004 19:46:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - It's been a fun ride in the desktop hardware bix these past few years, and it's pretty interesting to see how speed and technology have incrementally advanced. Most of my current business centers around "performance" desktop machines, specifically...

LeMans and Trance/GOA, how can you go wrong?

Thu, 1 Apr 2004 23:16:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - Ok, I admit it. I'm a LeMans junkie. Not really of the track, although I'm certainly appreciative of it's mystique and appropriate place in history. Instead, I love the cars that they've always raced there. Sports cars and sports car prototypes have...

Logitech MOMO Racing (963282-0403) Wheel And Pedals Set: The (not as good) Momo Replacement

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 15:42:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - The new MomoRacing was another pedal/wheel combo that I had absolutely no interest in when first announced. I had percieved it as a plastikey, cheeper to make and generally not as good replacement for the older MomoForce. Was I right? Well,...

The (second) best wheel Logi has made

Sat, 27 Mar 2004 02:00:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - Well, it had to happen. My old (really old) Logi FormulaForceGP (reviewed here; ht

HUGE performance jump from KT266, nice overclocker

Tue, 3 Jun 2003 21:25:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - I got this motherboard kinda off-the-cuff so to speak, as I was looking for particularly an Epox 8RDA as an nForce2 Ultra400 replacement for the already installed Asus A7V266-E that was actually performing quite well for it's age, but we wanted...

MomoForce's baby brother that also works on the PS2

Sun, 13 Apr 2003 18:46:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - Let me start be saying next month will be this wheels 3rd anniversary. That's 3 years. 36 months. I play ALOT of racing sims from GrandPrix Legends to the new GTRacing mod for F12k2 and have turned more than a few laps in practically ALL racing games...

updated SHO up Ninjified Hondas and the occasional unsuspecting M3 or mustang

Thu, 11 Jul 2002 13:51:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - **UPDATE**

we've now put over 3000 miles on the car and have a few updates and corrections to make;

Handling

The 'boatish' straightline handling and aggressive cornering manners wasn't a fluke, anomaly or caused by a long...

How much HP CAN you get out of a Miata, anyways?!??

Tue, 17 Jul 2001 00:47:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - Where O where to begin? It's been quite some time since I've written an epinion here and almost as long since I've read/rated anything outside the email notifications I get.

What has brought me out of hiatus so to speak? Well, frankly I...

Honda tries to make an entry into the supercar market with m

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 22:00:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - Well, Christmas fever must have struck my day, either that or he's having another midlife crisis or something more profound but he's shopping for yet another big-boy toy. Of course, yours truly tags along at every opportunity to sample to goods as it...

The only PC Racing Sim you'll need until WSC Ships....

Sat, 4 Nov 2000 01:53:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - First off, the Playstation version of SCGT is a totally different game from the PC version. It is so bad, that not only would I be upset if I had bought the title, but I would be looking for rebates on a rental... Seriously, the PSX version of SCGT is...

Budget wheel or How to practice driving R/C cars on your PC

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 02:40:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - I've been using the UltraRacer on both my Playstation and PC for almost 3 years now and have to say that I'm very impressed. At only $19, it's hard to say that you'll be dissappointed, especially since a good wheel is going to set you back $80-130.

Aprilia RS50R

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 15:11:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - **Warning: this review is about the RS50r and NOT the RSV1000 (in case you were confused)**

I have to admit that I've been fascinated by what most American motorcyclists would deem "baby" bikes--I'm talking about the 2strokers!...

I found 'em at WalMart

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 20:53:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - I dunno if it was mis-marked, but these were sitting on the shelf at WalMart for $44... How could I not buy these?? I've upgraded my soundcard from an ancient *original* SoundBlasterAWE32--you know the one with the 30pin SIMM slots? It did well for...

UPDATE Crimson Skies? What happened?

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 03:08:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - ***UPDATE***

After getting fed up with the gui memory leak and other in-game performance issues, I decided to play with my swap file settings. The game requires a minimum of 250Mb's worth of swapfile which I had when I got the game. Zipper...

Ultra-Exotica for the price of a Honda

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 23:06:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - Me and the wife were shopping for a new car late last year. She's got a '95 Saturn SL2 and I've got a '95 Volkswagon Corrado. We've got 2 kids now and the Saturn tuned into the 'mom taxi' and the Corrado just isn't practical to carry kids since it's a...

Falcon4 - a few million worth of plane for $19.95

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 02:38:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - **original article written Feb3, 2000**

I was actually very eager to get this game when it first came out, but balked a bit at the memories of Falcon3 being buggy. As it becomes more the norm by software companies to release a beta product to...

WinME: is it for you?

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 15:10:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - I've been running nothing but WindowsME at home since January, haveing been fortunate enough to download a "leaked" version (build 2450) and getting the "final" build 3000 from the same source with surprisingly not a whole lot of...

AnalogX Vocal Remover: Does AnalogX even have a life?!??

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 02:27:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - Between writing *awesome* programs for both musicians and networks, along with writing very good music (www.mp3.com/analogx), this guy must be working on 27hour days or something....or living off of lottery winnings 'cause *Every* single peice of...

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 01:01:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - A couple months back me and my wife were shopping for a replacement for our aging 55" Mitsu that we got as a hand-me-down from dear ole' dad. He gave it up 'cause one of the color yokes went bad ($130 part) and the repair guy "advised"...

Soooo dissapointed

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 19:49:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - here's a tag from the product intro:

For over 70 years, the 24 Heures du Mans endurance race has attracted spectators and competitors from around the world, drawn by the unparalleled glamour, excitement and atmosphere of this unique competition...

GranPrix Loser

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 21:01:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - I got this title as a gift from my loving wife--sometimes she hits with game choices, but more often she misses. This one, hit the mark as the title I was waiting for with drool cup in hand. I dunno; maybe it was the open magazine articles with...

Somewhat of a breakaway from the NFS series...

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 20:13:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - I have to admit that I'm more of a fan of racing sims like SCGT, GPL, ViperRacing, etc and not really arcade racers. But it IS nice to run an arcade race from time to time worrying more about what track obstacle you are going to stuff your...

3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP: Very fast, very stable and looks very good

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 18:24:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author psykosis_fc - Voodoo5. Ahhh. While still using a Quantum3d Obsidian200sb (and a 100sb prior to that), I have to say that I've definitely enjoyed the cream of the crop when it comes to 3Dfx accelerators. <sigh> After the lengthy wait and enduring countless...
