Mon, 24 Nov 2008 03:41:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - The Fallout series has long been one of my favorite series and despite seeing things that could have been better this is a very solid, rewarding title that is firmly set in the Fallout universe. Premise:The basic premise of that Universe...

Hot Topics, Poor Plot

Thu, 2 Nov 2006 04:08:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - I was lucky enough to catch a "special advance screening" of Babel so I'll share my observations. The film was billed as a series of interconnected dramas. I was expecting something like "Changing Lanes" where characters drift in and out of a...

Good but there's better out there

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - I was required to have a graphing calculator as early as 10th grade. When the old one was "lost" (which unfortunately is a nice way of putting stolen) I decided I might as well upgrade to an 86. It looked better on the package, had more memory...

And I Thought 1 Was Good!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - After a good year or so of teasing, aborted release dates and other obstacles I finally grasped a copy of Diablo 2. I loved the original game and previews of the sequel made it seem like heaven on Earth.. well for a fan of the original at least. I have...

Hollywood Stock Exchange: I can buy and sell your a..h! Hello there..

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 14:55:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - Yes, I finally found yet another way to waste my time online. The Hollywood Stock Exchange or HSX is a rather unique and refreshing idea that both copies and mocks the standard day-trading experience.

So what the heck do you do...

Huh? There's a race in this game?

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 17:30:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - I was racing around 150 with my hog one day. A fellow racer pulled up and I noticed something flicker. The bolt of electricity from the cattle prod stunned me, I sat there, quivering and unable to control my bike as in careened into oncoming traffic...

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 for Windows: Nice, Solid Game

Sat, 1 Jul 2000 21:03:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - I had read a review of Heros of Might and Magic III as it was just coming out. The graphics looked crummy and the game defunct in general. It was then that a good friend decided to buy the thing anyway. One day I decided to play him in a hoard of games...

Go!Zilla: I knew those eyes looked evil!

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 14:37:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - Initial Impressions

The 1.7 MB download was easy along with the installation of the program. I didn't even need to restart my computer! I entered my Dial-up ISP information and tried to download the file again. Go!Zilla detected the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - Pizza is my favorite food and when a new place opened up around five miles from my house I was one of the first people there. What I found was a value oriented buffet with some nice extras.

Descent 3: Why are you forgotten?

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 17:15:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - Back when the internet was still young and my computer sported the new powerful 486sx33 processor I was first drawn to the Decent series. The effects were spectacular for the time period. The game never really made the mainstream as fast paced shooters...

Mayday! The movie is going down!

Sun, 18 Jun 2000 23:32:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - I'm normally pretty easy going when it comes to movies and like almost all of them I see. I enjoyed "Mission To Mars" but not half as much as almost anything I've seen this year.

Calling all scientists!

Ah physics,...

Appalling as well as Enthralling

Sun, 18 Jun 2000 20:41:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - Well first of all some confessions: I do indeed watch this occasionally. I also actually take some sad sort of pleasure from it. Its not that "my god this is good material and fun for all" feeling that shows such as "The Simpsons"...

Bad as I wanna be

Wed, 14 Jun 2000 15:09:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - A realistic RPG? Well few RPGs are truly based on realism but instead an unwritten code of magic and fable. Recently games have strayed from that standard. Games like Diablo (while fun) left the gamer with a fast paced hunt and destroy experience that...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - I hate to go with the flow but I saw this site from a CNN report and decided to check it out. When nothing else was on I enjoyed shows like Judge Judy and thought this would be an interesting way to spend some of my time.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - I've never been much of a fan of racing games but every now and then I explore this strange, shrouded genre. In my humble, semi-professional opinion this one is great!

Want to test it?

NetZero: A Wonderful Backup

Fri, 9 Jun 2000 20:42:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - Its not unique anymore, there are at least 20 US "free" ISPs that anyone can access. NetZero was one of the first and has been a reliable back-up for me for the past year and a half. Would I recommend it for your main internet access? Not by a...

Roxio Easy CD Creator 3.x: This handles it all!

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 19:07:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - This software came with my Iomega ZipCD 4x4x24 CD-RW and, with the rather limited use I've given it (around 25 CD burns) I've been completely satisfied with the program.

Why do you need a program?

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - Like board games? Like over-extended, increasingly lackluster characters that have made millions for Nintendo? Welcome to Mario Party! Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh to this game, many of you, especially the younger ones, will simply adore this game...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tag_1234 - I purchased this game because I loved Maxis software. I was hopping for a good simulation with lots of depth. My high hopes were soon squashed as the reality of SimTower came crashing down.
