OBSELETE opinions in general

 

Newest Review: ... stomach pain and was hospitalized several times -- and Geffen released Incesticide, a compilation of B-sides and rarities late in 1992 to appease the cash cow fans starved for new Nirvana material. By the spring of 1993, the band was ready to go back in the studio. They recruited Steve Albini (previously produced the Pixies- another huge Nirvana influence) to produce In Utero,the long-awaited follow up to Nevermind." So it was no surprise that In Utero was met with huge public scrutiny and was frequently compared from every angle to its platinum selling predecessor. Some fans were disappointed, some fans leaped with joy. But whatever... more

For you to fully understand the importance of this album, I find this short biography of Nirvana to be useful: The following extract is from www.rollingstone.com: "In their brief seven-year history, Nirvana unwillingly brought alternative music into the mainstream and defined a generation of young people alienated by baby boomers, Michael Jackson and Madonna. Nirvana's roots lie in the underground hardcore scene of the mid-1980s; Sonic Youth was a BIG influence on their music. What was Nirvana's big appeal however, was that they created a unique blend of hardcore and pop that charmed millinos of listeners. The aggressive pounding ...  Read the complete review

Pure, unadulterated evil - the most hateful and scary evil doer of the year is upon us and he batters you to death first and asks questions afterwards. Tim Roth has always spent his time on the wrong side of the tracks. I remember him first as a teenage skinhead with National Health specs on the TV, but in the brand new Planet Of The Apes movie, as General Thade, Tim Roth is so absolutely, unspeakably evil that you'll have nightmares about him. It may be the make up, or the bandy legged gait, or even the way he leaps onto the back of his horse, but whatever it is, Thade is the most fearsome epitome of evil since the black clad Darth Vader. Even before ...  Read the complete review

OBSELETE opinions in general: The Final Final Fantasy Obviously Not (253 words)

Final Fantasy was the most wanted game in 1997 and didn't disappoint the fans. Before the game was released there was so much question about ?is it good? and ?have you played it yet? What?s it like?? Sony also helped in this publicity by showing what seemed to be movie trailers on TV. It was a forgone conclusion that it would be a big hit and they were right. It was a huge success with games being sold all over the place. There are many different reasons why people like Final Fantasy 7. One is its addiction factor while another is to be the best of your mates, but whatever it was it worked and sent the game straight to the top of the list and on my own list it is ...  Read the complete review

I’m sadly having to use dooyoos own site to shake them up in the reward department. Ive been jousting with amazon .con over one of their electronic gift vouchers I got from dooyoo that turns out to be a dud. None of the two sites will admit it’s their fault that I have a naff voucher and are messing me around over resolving the matter. I cashed it in on November twenty yet I still haven’t got the thing to go through.almost three weeks into the e-mail and help line battle. I know dooyoo are suffering in the fiscal department and are perhaps “delaying” payment to pay the bills. But surely a twenty-pound gift voucher ...  Read the complete review

Just when it seemed as if first-person shooters had run out of ideas, along comes No One Lives Forever to reinvigorate the genre. Two years after the release of Half-Life, a first-person shooter has finally arrived that's so stylish, so ingenious, so well written, so well acted, and otherwise so great that this review won't have to include the expression "it's no Half-Life" - except for right there. No One Lives Forever takes the impressive enemy artificial intelligence of Half-Life, the stealth features of Thief: The Dark Project, and the gadgetry of the console shooter GoldenEye 007 and then combines them all with a unique, colorful '60s ...  Read the complete review
