Such big sound from one very small package! Very impressed!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Imagine this scenario... you've just dropped $250 on a brand new 30GB MP3 player. You rush home, excited to try out your new toy. You plug it into your computer and begin to import and sync everything you can. Thousands of songs, hours of videos, endless...

Believe the hype, Gears of War is one amazing ride.

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 04:20:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Microsoft has been banking on Gears of War for a long time now. This was suppost to be the game that took the wind out of Sony's sail when the PS3 launched. This is the game that was going to show the true power of the Xbox 360. This is the game that for...

The best controller ever created. Period.

Sat, 25 Mar 2006 06:32:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Anyone who bought the first Xbox remembers the the monstrosity of a controller it came with. My friends and I called it "the hamburger", due to its massive size. If we played a four player game, someone had to play with "the hamburger". Admitting that...

Finally, a MMORPG for the casual gamer!

Sat, 19 Mar 2005 03:07:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - I've always wanted to like MMORPG's. I mean, I've been a hardcore PC gamer for some time now, and I love online games, so it would make sence that the combination of the two would be a match made in heaven. Well, so much for wishful thinking. While...

Your choppers fall from the sky, like broken birds

Thu, 22 Apr 2004 21:37:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard of Battlefield 1942, and like many people, have been playing it endlessly. With a slew of mods, the game continues to this day to be a favorite of many online gamers. The first-person war...

Make music come alive with a pair of Grado SR-80

Wed, 25 Feb 2004 21:05:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - After reading hundreds of raving reviews about the Grado SR-80, I decided that I would take the plunge into high quality audio. While I wouldn't concider myself an expert in the world of high end audio, I have always been a proponent of aftermarket audio...

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne: Everyone's favorite rogue cop is back

Mon, 12 Jan 2004 16:00:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Before every game in the free world decided to take a stab at bullet time, Max Payne perfected it. If modern cinema has taught us anything, it is that gunplay and explosions are fun, but they're even better when you slow them down. Add some interaction...

Shock violence doesn't make a good game

Thu, 25 Dec 2003 03:45:37 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Every game needs a gimmick these days. Either it's the ability to grab a car at the press of a button (GTA), or the fun of teaming up with others for a common goal (Socom), but once again Rockstar has chosen to release a game that pushes...

It's like Castlevania 64... but only good!

Tue, 23 Dec 2003 04:46:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - After the disappointment of Castelvania 64, I was a little skeptical about a new 3D Castlevania. I mean, after Symphony of the Night, I was convinced that the only way to make a great Castlevania game was to do it in 2D. But if you take the crew...

Diablo 2 Expansion: Lord of Destruction for Mac, Windows: The 1.10 patch gives you a reason to start over again.

Mon, 10 Nov 2003 21:38:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - It only took a year, but the 1.10 patch for LOD (Lords of Destruction) has finally been released on to the gaming public, and the results are great. Of course, to rate how the new patch holds out, it is necissary to rate the game as a whole first (...

Good service (when it works...). Otherwise, abandon all hope.

Sun, 2 Nov 2003 21:49:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - When I was looking at the prices of broadband, Verizon online DSL was the cheapest, and being the fool I am, I went for it. The promotion at the time was to get the first month free, then $29.95 a month afterwards. This seemed like a steal at the time as...

Big Sound in a Little Package

Thu, 9 Jan 2003 18:19:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - After a pair of Aiwa headphones I had broke, I began using the packaged headphones that came with my CD player. This lasted all but a day as I refused to listen to my music on the cheap, and ultimately bad sounding headphones. So I began to search the...

Low Cost CD-R's = Low Quality CD-R's

Fri, 21 Jun 2002 20:00:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - If you ever go out to buy CD-R's, there always seems to be a bargain brand that sells for much less. On a regualar occasion, PNY runs advertisements that sells their CD's for as low as $0.10 a CD. While this mas seem to be a deal, it is anything but. The...

Great Introduction Into Digital Photograpgy

Thu, 11 Apr 2002 13:34:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - With the entire hassle of getting pictures developed, and then having to scan them to get the image onto my computer, I decided that I had had enough. With my limited funds, I decided to buy the Sony DSC-P20 for $200, and overall it has been a great deal...

Homestead.com: Free Web Hosting and the Tools to Make it Happen

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 11:54:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - There are many sites on the internet that will host your website for you for no money at all. The problem I had was that I really didn't have the tools I needed to create one of these sites. After a little searching around I found Homestead.com. They not...

AskJeeves: Interesting Novelty Search Engine Falls Short of Goal

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 17:01:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Ask Jeeves' main attraction is that you can use plain english to ask questions in question form. Now this sounded great to me. I could type something like "What is the meaning of life?" and sure enough I got results for it on the meaning of life. Soon...

Google: Fastest, Most Accurate Search Engine on the Net

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 16:45:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - If you only use one search engine to find things on the internet, make sure it's Google. I have never seen a site that is this fast or accurate. I used to use Hotbot, but searches usually took a long time and the pages that I usually got were irrelevant...

Excellent Digital Camera Value

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 11:49:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Recently I went into Best Buy to get a digital camera. It had been something that I was looking into for a while. But of course, I'm looking for something reasonably priced. When I went in I saw a lot of differnet cameras, but many were way too...

Can You Make the Perfect Controller Better? Yep

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 00:51:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Personally I love the Playstation controllers. They're easy to use, they feel right in your hands, and everything seemed to fit into place. So when the Dual Shock controllers came out, I was reluctant to see if the two new analog sticks could help the...

One Movie Actually Better than the Book

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 19:55:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Without a doubt, this is my favorite movie, so it intrigued me one day to read the short story it was based on. 'The Shawshank Redemption' is based a book 'Different Seasons' by Stephen King. This personally surprised me concideriing that most of King's...

Archived Web Services Reviews: New Look, Same Great Taste

Fri, 2 Feb 2001 13:57:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - When epinions went down for a while to change their site, I was interested in seeing what they would do. To my surprise, they really didn't do a lot. I'm a little more confused about the placement of some of the features, but I'm getting use to it.

Days Inn: One Stay and Never Again

Wed, 31 Jan 2001 23:17:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Well, I'm going to be a little biased of my opinion here even though I have only stayed at one Days Inn. Recently I stayed in the Days Inn in Arlington, Virginia. In such a nice place, near the capitol and all, the rooms were terrible, the service was...

A Little System with a Big Sound

Mon, 22 Jan 2001 00:11:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - When I recently went to college, I took my Aiwa shelf system along with me (the Aiwa CX-NMT320), and it sounded great in my room. Of course, this left a large gap at home where the system use to be. I returned one day home to find that they had bought a...

Nintendo's Sub-Par System Needs to be Put to Rest

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 15:22:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Now, while I am not a big fan of the N64, I do own one. It lies now in a shoe box under my bed, along with a Super Nintendo and other systems I use to play. Of course, when it came out, I was blown away by the graphics of Mario 64 and company, and I...

Until You Can Playstation 2, This is the Best You Can Buy

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 02:26:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vcustudent - Ok, now if you are like me, you couldn't get a Playstation 2. Now don't feel bad, a lot of people didn't get one and will just have to wait after Christmas to do so. Now you've got money, and no gaming machine, so what can you do. Many people will say...
