 | Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Wi-Fi Router | |
 | "Excellent for ONLINE GAMERS" | 2009-08-13 |
First off , ive had this router for about a year and it works very well for what its used for, it gets the job done. originally, my mother bought it for our home network because i have comcast high speed internet and we were going to share ...but for some reason her laptop wouldnt work well with it..weve tried everything and no luck so she got a wireless at+t broadband card and now shes happy. so she gave this to me and then i discovered the other uses for this router..Its awesome, for the online gamer...i have my x box360, and my playstation 3 hooked up to this and no problems at all...no slow down with my net service(pc) no gaming lags nothing! all is hyper fast. this is a great router..high quality. | ||
 | Titanium Series Transformers 6 Inch Metal Cybertron Heroes Optimus Prime | |
| "Young Optimus" | 2009-07-08 |
| the war within Optimus prime is an excellent version of the Young Optimus prime. the newly christined Autobot leader, is solid and well detailed. very faithful to the comics. he comes with his blaster rifle, and is fully transformable. he is made of high quality die cast metal. this is a great display piece.not to be missed. I have the limited target "anniversary edition" this prime is not to be missed! Lets roll ! | ||
 | Sega Dreamcast System (Brand New) | |
| "the Sega dreamcast..incredible!" | 2009-06-22 |
| after the fantastic Saturn, sega took a break and started to develop a system to go head to head with Sony's upcoming Playstation 2 system. the result was the sega dreamcast, and it was incredible. the Dreamcast was a marvel of processing power and high quality graphics.. which to the average gamer means ..a powerhouse in consoles, and more important excellent games to come your way. the dreamcast had a unique analog controler similar to the N64 but it felt better in the players hands and was more comfortable. i prefered this controller myself. you could also have internet access just like the sega saturn..which was also a plus..keep in mind this is way before Microsoft's xbox live service and sony's playstation online network folks! the graphics were stunning..games like marvel vs capcom, sonic, air force delta, spawn, virtua fighter amoung others really stand up even today. this all changed when the sony playstation 2 came out then sega once again felt sonys bite..but they didnt give up the made extra add ons and more exclusives but this still wasnt enough... all said and done though..the Dreamcast was the final entry into segas console fleet..and it was a GREAT addition.. its still fun to play with today..if your a collector i highly recomment grabbing one.. ITS THINKING....love that tagline they used :) | ||
 | Garmin Nuvi 360 Pocket/Vehicle GPS Navigator and Personal Travel Assistant | |
| "garmin Nuvi...its worth it." | 2009-06-19 |
| i received this for christmas last year. ive always wanted a navigation system, because lets face it sometimes the direction you get from people are wrong. (dont get me started on mapquest either!) i use this for work, and ive never been lost. this is a godsend especially, on those expressway trips or those jaunts to the suburbs..where everything is backwards! ive used this in the REMOTE far Areas also and ive never had a problem . this was by far the best christmas present ive received in a while. the navigation, is turn by turn in a crisp clear voice..the map is detailed and colorful but not overly cluttered. the best thing is if you make a wrong turn or stop someplace else..you get course corrections that get you back on your way in seconds. it can even find for you restaurants, gas stations, and other places if your new to an area. i found this great little chinese place out in a quiet area in evanston that ive never heard of thanks to this. is the garmin worth it? absoloutly! | ||
 | Lair | |
| "ever wanted to fly with a dragon? this is for you!" | 2009-06-19 |
| lair is a excellent playstation 3 exclusive! as part of a "top Gun" like elite squadron of dragon riders, you get to ride your dragon through level after of level of flame scortching goodness. the ps3's graphics are incredible..highly detailed and realistic. the Motion controls of the sixaxis controller takes a bit getting used to , but after that it feels second nature. i love that you can shoot fireballs go toe to toe with other dragons..and lots more. if your on the fence about this title grab it. you'll be glad you did. | ||
 | Lisa Stansfield - Affection | |
| "Been around the world... and still going strong in 2007 !" | 2007-05-02 |
| Just got a replacement cd of my favorite lisa stansfield album..."Affection" is one of those rare gems..that comes around every once in a while. when this came out in 1990 i was in my junior year in high school..and this album brings back fun memories.. if this was released in 2007 it would still be a smash hit !
Lisa stansfield is a class act. her soulful, seductive voice will warm your heart. her ballads are incredible..and her dance tracks are pure gold..she ranks right up there with paula abdul and madonna. this album, is well produced from start to finish...no filler tracks here..every song here is special ..for me my favorites are " around the world","this is the right time" "What did i do to you" and the sultry "affection" its no wonder she was seriously being considered by tim burton to play Catwoman when they were casting for Batman returns in 1990 she has that hypnotic beauty i think she would have nailed it... in this day of cookie cutter/mass produced wannabe stars like brittany spears etc.. they cant compare to the vocals of the lovely ms stansfield.. this cd sounds fresh as the day it hit the racks..do yourself a favor check out this cd or any of her other albums you'll be glad you did...and use the brittany and lindsay cds as coasters... | ||
 | Frame A Fish Aquarium - Fish tank | |
 | "Really bad Idea...this is crulity to fish....do not buy this period!" | 2007-05-01 |
| First off...ive seen these...my favorite restaurant has these all over the place..i was looking at one last night and was shocked to see how THIN this thing is..its thinner than my plasma tv ! How can the poor fish live and thrive in a enviroment like this? first off...a fish aquarium is a natural habitat for the fish..not some art deco piece...as i was having my dinner i was watching one fish literally gasp for air because the "TANK" is so thin.. this is not the way to treat fish! you want to do the right thing with fish? give them room to thrive and breath...my gold oranda had a nice 10 gallon aquarium all to himself..and he loves it..i could just watch him for hours swimming all over the place..i wouldnt dream of putting him into a frame tank...this idea is ludacris .....and another thing i have to point out..water has mass..and it gets heavy..how can you even think to hang something like this on the wall? its bound to crash to the floor killing the poor fish... a friend of mine has one of these wall tanks and he was saying he has 4 fish die on him in a month..hmm i wonder why? bottom line..if you want to have fish and enjoy them get a real aquarium tank..and not this "torture tank for fish" .. . you fish will thank you for it if you are stupid enough to buy this kind of tank you DONT DESERVE TO HAVE FISH period... my friend works at petsmart and he was telling me they have some of these tanks on clearence and they dont even sell .. it makes you wonder..these are a accident waiting to happen. | ||
 | Transformers: Armada - Season 1 Part 1 | |
| "Generation One this isnt.... this is a beyond bad.." | 2006-11-11 |
| first off i ACTUALLY watched these episodes cringing all the way... and i have to say straight up...THESE ARE TERRIBLE !! first off THIS is Not generation one its not even in the same league and its not even worthy of being called transformers... sure they have prime and megatron...but its NOT the same the writers here did a hackjob, and paid no respect to the characters...prime and megatron are iconic characters and deserve MUCH better than this...the voice acting is pitiful they should have got peter cullen to reprise optimus primes voice..and the original voice actor for megatron , next off is the storylines, if you call these stories ...they are pathetic...i see this is where the parents groups had a big hand in this..because the plots are so lame and lackluster..and WTF is with these dippy teens they added in this show?? they are either bratty or wimpy beyond belief...sure ,we had humans in the generation one show.. But spike, carly, and chip chase... were interesting and you actually cared about them.. and you gotta love sparkplug witwicky spikes dad...these human characters did a hell of a lot more than go " oh god help!" .this show is too cartoony...what i mean by that..its too light...can you imagine if they had the death of optimus prime here? i dont think the producers here would know how to handle it.let alone the parents...back in the day there was a backlast sure..i remember being sad when prime died but it was dramatic..and added to the story...same thing with the death of roy fokker in robotech.. both of those deaths had lasting impacts on future storylines..try that these days i mean, have you seen some of the other animation on tv today ?.. lets say spongebob, pokemon the brain starts to go soft already its shows like these that give animation a bad name.. everything about armada is bad... this is transformers lite in my opinion...its all fluff and nothing more...from the corny dialogue, bad animation(im glad marvel didnt decide to animate this one) and more...this show reeks...take my advice..You want to see a good transformers story? get the GENERATION ONE series dvds and transformers the movie..and sit back and enjoy and after that track down the marvel comics transformers series you'll be glad you did, and use armada to give to somebody you dont like it could become the new "fruit cake" :) | ||
 | Star Wars 500th Figure - Darth Vader | |
| "" yes admiral..what is it?" celebrate the saga in style with this one !" | 2006-07-01 |
| this is a excellent figure..what a way for hasbro to clebrate their 500th figure. with none other than the sith lord darth vader himself in his hyperbaric chamber. this figure is well done, vader himself is seated with the mechanical arm lowering his helmet onto him(or removing it..with a lever on the back) the figure has this "snap lock seal sound" when the figure is lowered and locked into place...vader also has his cape, and of course his deadly crimson bladed lightsaber...whats there not to like?? this figure is a special edition..so try not to open it( the packaging is beautiful also)..and the bottom has some information about the figure and a serial number is stamped on there is a cool pic of vader there as well. if you have to open one up make sure you get another one! this was hard to find..it took me 3 months before i snagged one of these.. they sold out quickly at the stores and when episode III came out..these were nowhere to be seen..except on ebay with those uber inflated prices. this is a cherished piece in my collection... the only way hasbro could make this better..would have been to include a sound chip with vaders "breathing" and the sound of the chamber opening and closing...but this is still fantastic. id give this figure a 10 if i could..its a class act.. | ||
 | NDS Ultimate Spiderman | |
 | "not bad. at all ..i was really surprised..and in this one, you can ACTUALLY play venom a whole Lot sooner !" | 2006-05-23 |
| I bought this game when i picked up my ds system and i have to say its quite good... in this game you can actually play venom in a level feeding on people(using the ds stylus) in central park. its fun playing venom..he shines in this version as well ...this is the way the ultimate spider man for the ps2 should have been ..i also have that one( see my review for that one) ..in that one you have to go thru the whole game to finally unlock venom ..which was mis advertised... the ds version is fun for quick super action on the go ! | ||
 | Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote | |
 | "looks good..but its not really worth the money on this one.." | 2006-04-19 |
| this is a nice deluxe remote for the 360..its backlit but thats about it..nothing really new here..if you were "lucky" to get a 360 fully loaded version..you have the limited edition remote that came with it.. trust me, its all that you need..and half of the buttons you dont even need to use mostly just for the dvd functions | ||
 | Xbox 360 Memory Unit (64 MB) | |
| "get the hard drive.. this is a rip off" | 2006-04-19 |
| you dont need this memory card..if you have the hard drive thats all you need if you dont get a hard drive instead .... remember ,the hard drive is detatchable also you can take that on the go and it holds LOTS more data..i have not even began to get close to the storage limit. | ||
 | Xbox 360 Wireless Controller | |
| "a must have! you need this one!" | 2006-04-19 |
| if you have a xbox 360 system you owe it to yourself to pick up a wireless controller..they are very comfortable to hold and have all the functions of the regular controller..and whats very cool about this one is if you get the plug and play charge kit..you can actually play while you charge the battery or just have the controller hooked up after the system is shut off and it trickle charges for optimum performance...this is worth the money..if you have the wired controller trade up ..and go for the best. | ||
 | Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack | |
| " Listen up, you need this!" | 2006-04-18 |
| if you have a xbox 360 wireless controller you need this!..its a no brainer.. | ||
 | Robocop 2 | |
| "hey caine..lets step outside !" | 2006-03-03 |
| robocop 2 is a excellent film.. it has the satire comedic elements from the first film, tons of action, and is jam packed with everything you expect a robo film to be..the only thing is its not as violent as the first one(they had to trim a lot out of it for a proper rating..but you know what you dont miss it because the way its edited..) directed by the directer irvin kershner(the empire strikes back..so u know it will be great) this 2nd chapter follows murphy still coming to terms with what he has become.. all while fighting the new threat on the street a drug called nuke..which is 100 times more potent that current drugs. robocop comes into direct fire by critics and is deemed obsolete by ocp so they build a newer version of cyborg, complete with the drug addicted maniac caine thrown in for good measure... then, u get the showdown between the 2 cyborgs which is well done, even if its stop motion..who cares..it works!(sounded like (...) jones there for a moment ) people say this was a bad sequel its not.. its great...but robocop 3 well thats another story all together ... | ||
 | Mustek PL-607 7" Portable DVD Player | |
| "great portable dvd player..a great buy" | 2006-02-28 |
| this is a nice portable dvd player...its small compact and had a nice digital screen..very good picture quality..and the price is just right.. plug in the ear buds that come with for surround sound on the go.. this make a great choice to keep you entertained on those flights, the bus ,the train..anywhere really hell even the library(just keep the headphones plugged in though)...and i dont know why people are giving this player a bad review my father has this same model for 2 years now and its still going strong..remember like all portable electronics..you have to take care of them and not bang them around...i gave some of these for gifts and everybody loves this player.. | ||
 | Robocop - Criterion Collection | |
| "THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION...GOOD NIGHT....ILL BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!!!!" | 2006-02-19 |
| Robocop ! this movie was a sci fi masterpiece when it was released in 1987 i remember seeing this film in the theather..and saying wow..it was really bloody! then i saw the directors cut years later and realized they cut out so much..im glad i have the criterion dvd uncut version..its the only wat to watch this classic. you have characters that are memorable.. everytime i see that 70s show and they show red..i go clarence bodicker.. this film was unique in the way it was written as well..think of it as a cross between frankenstein and dirty harry..with the subtle consumerism mentality of the late 80s and you get robocop. the mail plot point of this film is murphy finding who out who he is and what has happened to him..you cant help but feel for the character...and look out when he takes his revenge on the bodicker gang! get this version and not the rated pg version..and stay away from robocop 3..that was a letdown..although i liked the idea of robo with a jet pack, and just a question..who was the guy saying id buy that for a dollar? he still cracks me up to this day..:) | ||
 | XB360 Dead or Alive 4 | |
| "tecmo and team ninja does it again ...now on the xbox 360 .... a winner!" | 2005-12-31 |
| this game is fantastic .... the graphics are phenominal very detailed backgrounds..(loved the dinosaur background..) all the classic combos and characters are there..especially my favorite kasumi :) they also added a great new character named Kokoro..as well as ryu hayabusa the hero from all the original nintendo ninja gaiden series...this is action packed and will having you coming back for more..lots of great costumes and movies to be unlocked as well...a winner get this game it really shows off the x box 360 | ||
 | Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit | |
| "great idea..a must have for the 360" | 2005-12-31 |
| this idea is really a no brainer.. i got this when i bought my 360 on launch day..and this plug and charge kit id worth every penny..first off you get the unit that you can use to charge as you play or leave as a trickle charge unit and you also get a battery pack with it also..its a great deal if you have a wireless controller this is a requirement to say the least great job microsoft | ||

 | Halo 2 for Xbox | |
| "MASTER CHIEF RETURNS !! NUFF SAID" | 2005-12-19 |
| the first Halo took on all the other first person shooters and blew them away..it had great graphics, fluid gameplay..a great story and a great cast of characters..the game is a best seller and a instant classic...now fast forward halo 2 bursts onto the scene...this game has all that halo fans have grown to expect from the first one..and more like new weapons, a updated battlesuit and more surprises ...still it has some flws though but thats in everything.. its a part of life... this game plays even better on the new x box 360 system try it out..it feels like a new version of halo 2.and the graphics are slightly updated as well now... cant wait to halo 3 this spring... | ||

 | Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home (Special Edition) | |
| "do you guys like italian? NO..YES NO YES i like italian..and so do you..YES one of the best of the original trek cast films" | 2005-12-18 |
| i love this film!! its one of the best films featuring the original cast...have you ever noticed that the "even numbered "trek films are all winners.. such as.. star trek 2 (my next favorite), star trek 4, star trek 6 etc.. this film has it all action, suspense, brief romance, and all those HILARIOUS!! moments of the enterprise crew in 20th century san francisco... which make me bust out laughing every time..moments like.. when scotty talks to a computer with a mouse! and then gives the guy the formula for transparent aluminum...when dr. mccoy gives a woman pills and then she does not need a kidney transplant.. my favorites are... when kirk and spock go to see the whales george,and gracie and then spock(who is posing as a hippie..gotta love that) goes swimming with the whales and through a vulcan mind meld he discovers that gracie is pregnamt! then kirk introduces spock to profanity..for example double dumb ass to you...gotta love that! and my favorite is when they are having a ride with dr taylor and she ases them do you guys like italian? they argue..and kirk finally says to gillian i love italian...and then turns to spock looks him in the eye and says to him..and so do you... priceless... kirk tells gillian that spock did too much drugs in the 60s there is a message about the enviroment as well...we should not make creatures extinct...its not logical because all life needs each other to survive this film..also shows that this cast actually cares about each other and have had a great time working on this film...the extras are worth it on this dvd...and with all said and done the ending is righgt on the spot leading into the other trek sequels... kirk finally gives up being admiral and is once again a captain..and is assigned to the newly construced USS ENTERPRISE- NCC 1701-A excellent film...Nuff said....warp one engage! | ||

| "FANTASTIC...PAULA AT HER BEST!!! THIS IS THE ALBUM TO GET !" | 2005-12-18 |
| paula abdul's best album to date...yes "spellbound" was great..yes " head over heels "was good but a bit lackluster..but paulas first album still rocks after 16 years and its still going stong..its a classic... all the tracks are pure gold especially "straight up".."state of attraction" and "cold hearted" paula keep on doing what you do best | ||
 | Halo for Xbox | |
| " HALO is number one!!..try playing it on the xbox 360..it will blow you away!" | 2005-11-30 |
| first off i loved this game since i got it for christmas with the first xbox system..i mean its why i wanted a xbox to begin with.. this game has fantastic graphics high replay value and a great story and great characters... master chief can take on joanna dark anytime while saying "is that the best you can do??" without even breaking a sweat LOL perfect dark zero?? no thanks.. halo and halo 2 are the real deal :) cant wait for halo 3 on the x box 360 :) ok when u play this on the x box 360..it feels different..in fact better! ok its halo turbocharged .. the controles seem to be smoother and the cut scenes are now presented in widescreen format..not bad at all ! and the graphics are smoothed out more..to the casual eye you cant tell but if you are a hard core halo gamer it rocks ! play halo..and stay away from games like perfect dark zero..and quake..which are just pale rip offs its my opinion and im entitled to it...nuff said.. | ||
