Las Vegas - a teenagers perspective

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 04:19:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - Well, I'll start out by asking for you to pardon my silly little pros and cons routine, but this is basically what you are receiving when you take a trip out to Vegas. This epinion, my second from a long stint off of writing, is based on the aspects of...

Sorry, but I expect a bit more from EA...

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 19:24:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - … and why not? Electronic Arts has put out some great games, most notably it’s sports titles in Madden and NHL 2001. Now I realize this is no sports game, but still, EA has never let me down in the slightest when it comes to the development of games. I...

Archived Games Reviews: The good, bad, and ugly

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 16:23:07 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - Well, this game got two out of three…. bad and ugly. That basically sums up this game in a sentence. I purchased this game hoping for a solid Collegiate basketball title, a game where I can play a season, hoping for a NCAA Tourney bid, finish the...

Attention Academy: Wilson was GREAT!!

Wed, 27 Dec 2000 16:44:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - I usually stay away from writing about movies. It’s hard to write about a movie without giving away the plot… sure you can say if it was good or not, what you liked or disliked, etc, but I just can’t seem to get a good review out of a movie. I wrote...

Can't go wrong... too many options

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 17:32:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - I have read several reviews of this game, and decided to give it a try. I exchanged NCAA Final Four (a terrible game) for this title with mixed feelings. I have been asking myself for a few weeks when some good games would be released for the PS2. So, I...

Let the big dog eat

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 17:11:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - “Is this a Hot Shots clone or what?” That’s what my friend said when we first saw this game at the store. Well, it’s almost like Hot Shots. The cartoon-like quality for the courses and characters is there, along with unlocking hidden characters and such,...

A churning sea...

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 16:15:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - …a small boat, two young souls in peril. So starts Squaresoft’s latest installment to the epic series: Final Fantasy. The ninth title in this series means a great many things: first, it’s a pledge to return to the basics, back to the gameplay that made...

Don't you hate it when...

Wed, 8 Nov 2000 17:35:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - …you see your comrade getting hurt in battle, that just makes you want to run behind his attacker and take your blade to him… Well guess what, now you can, in Dynasty Warriors 2 for the Playstation 2 console.

I first saw and heard of this...

Is this football or Pokemon?

Tue, 7 Nov 2000 15:36:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - I am a Sega Dreamcast owner, and now an owner of the Playstation 2. I also love football, and own both NFL2K1 and Madden 2001. I knew I wanted the system by reading and subscribing to EGM magazine. I wasn’t planning to purchase Madden however, because I...

FF9... Will it be set on Mars?

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 17:39:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - I’ve never been more excited for a Final Fantasy game than FF9. Why? Well, it’s simple. Squaresoft’s pledge to return to the Final Fantasy roots. Everytime I see that little Black Mage running around, my heart skips a beat. (Doesn’t he kind of look like...

Fox's Tuesday lineup features bar codes for easy checkout

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 14:38:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - Well, I would venture to say that Fox’s first Tuesday of the fall season was a pretty big success; leading off with “That 70’s Show” in the 8 p.m. EST time slot, followed by “Titus” 30 minutes later. And ending with the 2 hour episode of “Dark...

A lead sandwich is more appetizing

Tue, 3 Oct 2000 13:46:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - For all of you future crime bosses out there, good news: Game developers think of everything. While prohibition and the life of crime is a popular subject and can make for a good gaming experience, I can’t realistically recommend “Mob Rule” as a good...

Throw me the damn ball!!!

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 16:06:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - This was a pretty darn good movie. That’s all you need to know. Go see it. Unfortunately, if I left the review like that, I wouldn’t get very high ratings. Which is why I will venture to explain to you, the reader, why this movie moved me so much and...

Bumpty - Bumpty - BUMP!

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 15:05:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - …My heart somewhat sounded like that at times while reading this book. This is a book I have read many times, (6) and one of two Steven King books I own. But his book “The Stand” is so well written, it leaves you begging for more, possibly a sequel.

terrible treatment of customers

Wed, 27 Sep 2000 16:15:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - First off, let me begin by letting out a long collective sigh…. That’s better. Unfortunately, that is how I am inclined to rate this particular card. Before I get started, I think it’s important that everyone knows that I have good credit, and always...

Tampa: As good as a vacation could get

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 16:49:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw -
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions

I consider the city of Tampa and it’s surrounding communities to be a “big little city”. To put that into perspective, it’s usually too small to make your local newspapers national weather...

Sega Dreamcast Grey Console: Why the dreamcast will live through "the Deuce"

Tue, 19 Sep 2000 14:49:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - Today, after reading a review on the dreamcast, I figured it was high time to plug in my two cents. So, I really got to thinking: What does the Playstation squared really have that the dreamcast doesn’t? Before I get into this, let me explain that this...

They treat you better than their own employees!!

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 14:04:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - Let’s put it this way, Busch Gardens treats their guests better than their employees. That should tell you something, shouldn’t it? The bottom line to Busch Gardens is this: Busch Gardens is in the top 5 in Theme Parks and Zoos in the U.S. Does that make...

Yes!! You can control your defense!!

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 09:32:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - After a dismal showing of the first 2K1 game, World Series Baseball 2K1, I was very skeptical about the release of NFL2K1. I mean, was I going to be able to even control my defense? I went to the store, looked at the back, and it looked like the exact...

hey, the home of Super Bowl XXXV... What to expect

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 16:47:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - Raymond James Stadium… known as RayJ to Tampa Bay fans, or the “New Sombrero” to Chris Berman at ESPN. Whatever you want to call it, this facility is the gem of the city of Tampa, a true masterpiece of arcitecture. During the demolition of old Tampa...

The newest edition to the Sims is the Livin large expansion pack, which adds days and weeks of fun to your already heavy usage of the Sims simulation game. This addition gives you...

Seaman - Sega's attempt at Gigapet

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 13:50:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - Seaman, just the name alone will have the High School kids snickering. But what Sega and the Dreamcast has here is an unbelievable and immersive game that really harnesses the Dreamcasts power. To put it simply, Seaman is a virtual aquarium. The purpose...

WS2K1 - Why it is what it is

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 14:06:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - To get right to the point... rent before you buy. There are a great many reasons why this game is sub-par... hell, down right double bogey. But the game is somehow addicting to me, it's hard to understand. When I play, I am constantly yelling at me...

hell? if u say so...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unluckyjw - This is a counter epinion to "welcome to hell" an epinion on why florida is so bad. I suggest you read that first before this, because you probably won't know what is going on. The only thing hellish about florida is the heat... Your floridian...
