Innovating far beyond the so-called next generation (and even more than my beloved GameCube), 05 has been a year of experiments and masterpieces from Shadow of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~217970347652 Tue, 17 Jan 2006 04:48:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_217970347652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_180515737220?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - What do you think of when you think of passion? Do you think of true love? Do you think of a starving artist? How about a protestor? All good choices. These are people who (usually) are very passionate about whatever it is they believe in. Add to that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~180515737220 Tue, 19 Apr 2005 12:53:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_180515737220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_179835408004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - Growth. A concept many are familiar with at a superficial level but few really know what it means. For instance, someone may have the same mentality as they had when they were 5 years old. Juvenile jokes and trash talk are evidence of this kind of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~179835408004 Wed, 13 Apr 2005 01:26:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_179835408004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177424207492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - I toyed with the idea of starting this review with a pretentious definition of overlooked but I opted not to. Rather, I pose a question to you, the reader. Do you know the Originoo Gunn Clappaz? I would bet money that I could count those of you who know... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177424207492 Tue, 22 Mar 2005 02:33:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177424207492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_176422882948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - Mega Man rules. There, I said it. People talk about how tired the series has become but I really could not care less. I’m all for change but at the same time I also like the familiarity of playing a new Mega Man game every year and knowing what to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~176422882948 Sat, 12 Mar 2005 18:12:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_176422882948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175559380612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - If there is one group that is pretty much universally hated on Epinions, it&#146s G-Unit. All the most respected reviewers all discuss the &#147evils&#148 of G-Unit, how they have no talent, they&#146re repetitive, etc. etc. and it seems that those who... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175559380612 Fri, 4 Mar 2005 21:47:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175559380612?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170480668292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - I’m not much of a PC gamer. I’m going to say that off the bat just so you people can know that if I buy a PC game that’s a bit out of character for me. I’m generally a console gamer and stick to my GameCube and PS2 but every now and then there will be a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170480668292 Thu, 20 Jan 2005 20:08:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170480668292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_168677510788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - Ludacris is one of those artists that you either love or hate. I don&#146t really know many who fall in the middle. You either dig his charismatic flow and hilarious punchlines or you ridicule his commercialism and mono-syllabic rhymes. That&#146s... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~168677510788 Fri, 7 Jan 2005 08:41:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_168677510788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_168351338116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The most overhyped game of the year? Halo 2 could take that title and run with it but the fact remains that San Andreas had a hell of a lot of hype surrounding it. It had a lot to live up to. The Grand Theft Auto series is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~168351338116 Wed, 5 Jan 2005 04:37:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_168351338116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_163440004740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - Yes, I've returned to reviewing video games; at least, temporarily. I think it should be very obvious to people who know me as well as people who read my ancient video game reviews (whoo, those are awful) that I am as big a Nintendo fan as any... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~163440004740 Tue, 30 Nov 2004 00:06:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_163440004740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_162134003332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - Heltah Skeltah is a name I'm sure not many of you are familiar with. Sure you might be familiar with the term it's obviously derived from, helter skelter, which means "carelessy hurried or confused." You may even be familiar with the book, Helter... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~162134003332 Thu, 18 Nov 2004 18:08:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_162134003332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_160761876100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - Let's talk about the public perception of one Marshall Mathers for a second. To the mainstream crowd: he's hilarious and controversial. He makes songs about his life and such but always injects humor into it and manages to impress most of the time. Oh,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~160761876100 Sat, 6 Nov 2004 06:29:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_160761876100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_158537846404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - Unless you've been in solitary confinement for the last decade then you should all know who Sean Carter, better known as Jay-Z is. He's as universally loved as he is hated. The mainstream adores his charismatic flow and smooth delivery.

Other than the obvious cover reference, we have a great story album. The album of course follows a very... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~153360436868 Thu, 26 Aug 2004 21:37:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_153360436868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_152822517380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - Kool G. Rap has now gone solo, no more DJ Polo. (Heh, that rhymed.) Some may have seen this as a downfall for the Kool Genius of Rap, but all the true heads know this is no the case. Because after his parting with Polo,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~152822517380 Sun, 22 Aug 2004 23:18:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_152822517380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_151585197700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snoogans86 - And now the end of the first week, and the Kool G.
