Good game
2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Graphics; Sound; Storyline; Atmosphere; Action
Cons: Hogs too much memory; requires a top notch PC
I loved every minute of it. The story is pure genius, and downright creepy. The graphics and special effects are out of this world gorgeous. The action is pulse-pounding and a glorious sight to behold. I especially liked the SlowMo.
I played it on a P4 3.0GHz, 2 GB of RAM and a highly overclocked and tweaked GeForce 6800 video card, and the game was set to 1024x768, 2XAA, 4XAF, SoftShadows OFF. Half the time it stayed at ~70FPS, and the other half it was 30FPS. Can't debate! It would also reboot my system at times out of nowhere, something that happens only with this game.
While it does have its flaws, it's hardly enough to bring the visceral experience down a notch. I highly recommend this game. ... -

Oh jeez...
1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Insane power, remarkable style, versatile volume controls, full surround sound capable.
Cons: Fragile design
Don't let the 80 wattage fool you, this monster system has enough power to blow your windows out, and sounds damn good too. You will not hear one ounce of static. Very nice design, though easily breakable, so be careful with them. Most importantly, priced at $80, this baby is the perfect system for gaming, music, movies and more. ...

Cons: Speakers could be better; no expandability; price; awkard at first
The iPhone seems like a hit or miss product with the userbase. Despite what people say, it IS revolutionary. The interface, design and usage overall has taken the mobile phone category to new levels.
The phone is VERY awkward to use at first. The interface is so different than every other phone. It provokes curiosity in some and just infuriates others. Once you get used to it, you'll see that it's the Rolls Royce of mobile phones. Texting is a great example. At first, I thought it was crap, but now I text flawlessly at like 20-30 WPM easy.
Customizability deserves its own paragraph. The basic features seem plain and unworthy of praise, but with the right tools, you can customize the phone in ways that are unheard of in mobile phones. There's already a wide range of programs and custom menu's out on the web, and this will eventually take off once the talented programmers unlock the secrets of this phone. ...
