IPhone 3G used's review (lava alarm! video) 『my son got lava alarm for his birthday he has just recently gotten into the rescue heros we all like them but in this movie two boys are being recued from a valcano.in the part were the boys are being lifted out just in time when you see the boys from the heros view it looks like both boys have a rope around thier neck. well my son wrapped a cord around his neck "pretending" to be a hero the cord caught and luckily it came lose because he fell off his bed.he now has a three inch rope burn on his neck it scared him but i think that people with children who have active imaginations and like the heros should be told that they can get hurt if they do it like they do in the video...all ropes cords or anything else is gone from his room but it does not change the fact that on christmas eve we almost lost our son he was lucky i belive the people who made the video over looked a very important part of the movie...........』
(A great game for children) 『I bought this game for my five year old son. He loves the game. It is easy to learn, yet challenging enough to keep him interested. The variety of the several mini-games included has kept him busy with this game for a few months already (!)
Technically, the game is good too. Clear talking voices from the various Rescue Heroes is pretty neat.
As a parent, I appreciate the fact that this is an action game, yet contains no violence. It is about helping people and animals.』
(Fisher Price Rescue Heroes: Fire Frenzy) 『This is the third Gameboy title we have purchased for our 4-year old son. He's really into Power Rangers and Rescue Heroes, so the subject matter was excellent. Although it is not listed as an EC title, our son who has computer game experience, has found it challenging enough to hold his attention, yet easy enough to master so that he doesn't get discouraged. There's no mindless violence, no creepy villains. It's a really well-designed game, and has been well worth the money, since he has yet to get bored with it.』
(Ideal Game for kids) 『My six year old son was so excited to find that he could 'help' his favorite Rescue Heroes with different adventures. What an excellent video game. I had no qualms purchasing this game for him because I have been so pleased with the action figures and his long term fascination with true heroes of today. It's a pleasure finding a game that has non-stop action instead of repetitive violence.』
(awesome, completely awesome) 『Wow! I am a mom who was lucky enough to get her hands on this hard to find game. (Thanks amazon.com).
For the benefit of those looking at this game as a possible one for their kids, let me expand on what this games offers...it is ideal for ages 4 and up. No reading required.
My son is having a fantastic time playing along with the rescue missions. He's just new to gameboy. It is easy enough for him understand, but challenging and engaging enough to keep him interested and focused.
I work in a store that sells gameboy games. It's too bad more people either don't know about this game or are not able to get a copy easily at this time.
It's worth putting yourself on the waiting list for. There is no other game on Gameboy like this game. It's perfect for those kids who love action, but whose parents don't want them exposed to the violence of other kiddy favorites.
Also worthy of note...there are rescuers of both gender in this game.』

(Best College Hoops Game of 2005) 『I have played all college hoops games of 2005 (March Madness, Final Four, and College Hoops). This one is, by far, the best. It is very realistic and I really like the controls. I also like the camera angle. This was just a really good game.
Gameplay 9/10: The actual gameplay is great. Allthough sometimes cheesy, such as when your player commits a foul your mascot claps, this game has by far the best gameplay. During the game you almost feel like your sitting in Row 20, Seat 5. The controls are the greatest, as it takes little effort to move from one action to another and the controls are set up perfectly for a basketball game.
Graphics 9/10: Everything looks great except sometimes when you look close the players look kind of crappy. Other than that the crowd and all of the other stuff is very realistic and bold.
Realsticness 9/10: The game is pretty darn realistic. Not only in graphics but also in the players actions. Such as when they are covering someone and the kind of ride up against them or when they commit a foul and argue to the referee.
Replayability 10/10: I play this game all of the time. I enjoy it just as much as I did the time before.
NOTE: This game has one of the best season modes as well (Legacy Mode). You can handle emails and recruit and it is very well organized.
Overall 10/10: Although if you add the numbers up it come out to roughly 9, this game definitely deserves a 10. It doesn't matter as much as how those things act alone, but when they come together that they make one heck of a game.』
(Why does this game have to make up name) 『Yes I like this game but well you probably heared Gerry Mcnamara well on this game sometimes they say his name is john smith or josh little or somthing like that you will find this out when you go to practice mode or to the roster. They also change the rating around a little bit. I mean one time 3pt rating is 90 the next it 86 or something.』
(For all of you who play the legacy mode.....) 『This game is awesome. I haven't played but a handful of actual games but it is pretty fun. I like to play the legacy mode and simulate through the seasons which takes a couple hours to do but is very fun. However, when playing a game, the free throw system is a bit hard (biggest complaint I've seen for this game) but the trick is to wait until the "ready to shoot" message pops up and hold onto A and release when the guy is moving his arm up towards the hoop. Let it go when the player would let it go in real life if that makes sense. Same way when you actually shoot a free throw. You let the ball fly when you get the ball up and make a motion towards the hoop. It's not too hard with enough practice but some players it's just impossible to make free throws with because they are crappy. Practicing free throws in practice mode is a good way to get better to. There will never be a system everyone like so deal with it!!!!
Onto the legacy mode, it is soooooo much better. Most of the flaws are gone from the old game. One being OT games. You would win by 25 in the old game. That is unrealistic. 15 seed teams like Quinnipiac would win the tourney. That doesn't happen in this game. Recruting is VERY detailed and takes at least twice as long as the other game but is more realistic. I recruited a PG in the 2k4 version and a PG had 29 rebounds! Unrealistic and still, you have no clue if they are going to be any good. In 2k5, you scout their game 4 times or so and you get an idea about each of these aspects: shooting, offense, rebound, defense, hustle, quickness, leaping, and potential. Each has a letter grade. You will be able to recruit the exact type of player you want and it also lists priorities of the players to. So you know not to recruit a kid who wants to stay close to home if they are in the Bronx and you are in Cali! If you recruit hard and heavy, you can turn a program around just as in real life. It's DEFINITELY A LOT MORE REALISTIC than the 2k4 version. With the Xbox, you can also add sountracks to play in the game to which is cool but you can't really find any roster files out there. You can buy Xbox memory cards but hardly anyone out there makes the roster files. So your favorite player may be named Manny Hooglesbee instead of Gerry McNamara if you turn on generate names! Oh well, it's all good. This game is soooo much fun and the time you spend playing it easily equates to $20 in no time or even cheaper if you buy it used. Great game and I would DEFINITELY reccomend.
If you don't play legacy mode, playing a season is still so much fun. You have to play smart and beat the defense the other team is playing. You can't just run around them all the time like in ESPN Hoops 2K4 (the NBA version). You actually have to use some strategy so it's better to play on an easy level and advance your way up or you'll just get pissed and throw the controller if you think you can play on MOP when you should be on Junior Varsity!
AWESOME GAME!!!!!』
(Most realisitc and best college game so far) 『[...]I am a college student who closely follows college basketball year in and year out. I feel I have a very good sense of how college basketball is played (much different from the NBA), and I think that this game is easily the best representation of college basketball to date.
People who are looking for a game that is about draining rediculous 3's, bigtime dunks and alley oops, or any other kind of flashy basketball, get March Madness. Given this is fun in a video game, but if you are looking for a real simulation of NCAA basketball, ESPN is the way to go.
In ESPN, you really have to know the team you are playing with. It is very accurate in the type of play each team has. The Big East is all about physical play down low and strong defense, while the ACC is about finesse...just like in real life. I saw a lot of the reivews saying that "teams dont dunk enough" or "alley oops are hard to do." That is real college basketball. College basketball has its share of dunks, and the game has its share of dunks...but most of college basketball is teamwork, and ESPN forces you to do this.
I found that I had to play differently with different teams. For example, I usually play with Boston College, working the ball down low and using the 3-2 zone to shut down my opponents in low scoring games. Then, I decided to play a Duke / UNC game, and the gameplay was very different. With Duke, I found I succeeded more when I worked it low, and kicked it out to Redick behind the arc. Teams are designed to play like they play in real life. Cuse plays a 2-3 zone, Redick is nasty from behind the arc, and Charlie Villanueva is a beast on the boards. Everything is very accurately represented.
One review I saw said that a negative was that they dont have player names. I actually think the game did a better than normal job with names. No college games are allowed to have player names because that would require them to get licensing from players, which is against NCAA rules. However, they make it very easy to enter the names, and the announcers even say all of them...there is a database of names that contains every college player's name I could think of (including obscure ones, such as Nate Doornekamp of BC). It is really easy to rename players, and very cool to name your favorite team and hear the announcers and PA announcer say the names, something most other games dont have.
Sega has finally come up with a free throw system that works. Its a pain in the butt to get used to, but once you get used to it, it's amazing. There is about 4 different free throw animations, and you have to press the shoot button and release it at the top of the shot. It is easy to tell for good players, and difficult to tell for bad players. Makes for very realistic free throw percentages, and doesnt have an annoying meter like other games have.
Little things are annoying about the game. The crowd graphics during cutscenes are awful, but its really not that big of a deal. The mascots are well rendered, but a bunch really dont look like they do in real life (ex. Otto the Orangeman). These are easily overlooked tho, because the gameplay is so good. If you are a die hard college hoops fan and want a game that represents the game closely, ESPN College Hoops 2k5 is the way to go.』 『One coach, whether its the head honcho or a new assistant, can lead the team to the Big Dance or back to the drawing board. Only one game truly realizes the passion and pageantry of the college hoops game. So, break out your clipboard, whistle, and best calls as ESPN College Hoops 2K5 brings you the unbridled emotion and wonderful magic only exhibited in a real college basketball game.』
IPhone 3G used's review (BEWARE!) 『This item is not returnable, even though the seller doesn't mention that in his description. This is not what I was anticipating and now I'm stuck with it.
Very disappointed...』
(The fix is in!) 『I've played a lot of BackGammon in my days but this farce takes the cake. The dice are loaded in the computers favor. Play 100 games and lose 40 of them because the computer gives you the one role in a 100 that will hurt you,,,,and at the same time he gets the perfect roll to get your exposed man. Once in a while is OK, but it's consistent and annoying. Just because the setting is expert, doesn't mean the computer has to win at all costs, even cheating.』
(Very Good Games) 『Pocket Express' Entertainment pack has some very good games. Tetris is the REAL thing, not a ugly freeware clone - it makes a difference - works great for the Palm's simple buttons. Lode Runner is fun but movement is sometimes a little awkward since you're not using a joystick. One nice thing is they included a level editor,and now I only play my own levels : ). Pocket Chess is a good solid chess game and in COLOR. It has a simple interface and works well on the palm. The rest of the games are pretty simple, but still fun - blackjack, poker dice (Yahtzee, really), and of course the indispensible Solitaire. There's also a cool little puzzle game called Colors that's pretty addictive.』 『Pocket Express Entertainment Pack Plus has something to delight any Palm OS handheld user. This collection of 11 games features official versions of two PC games:Tetris ClassicandLode Runner: The Legend Returns. Pocket Express Entertainment Pack also includesPocketChess, a puzzle game, Pocket ExpressColors, and others, includingPokerDice,Backgammon, andCheckers. Plus, card players will enjoy Pocket ExpressBlackjack, as well as smallWare'sSolitaire Free, a free bonus for Pocket Express Entertainment Pack owners that includes 3 different solitaire games.』 fetish『 Marble Madness 』

IPhone 3G used's review (Marble (not-so-fun)ness) 『The game I've played is not for color, rather the older version. But, it cant be much different. Basicaly, you roll a marble around in a "maze" - well, its not a maze, more you move it around obstacles. The fun part of the game is where you roll you marble in front of a "wave" that carries you, but if you dont get off of it, the marble falls and you have to start again (from where it fell) Overall, I felt the game was okay for a hour or less, but it gets boring after a while. There are more worthwile things to spend your money on.』
(Perfect recreation of a Nintendo game) 『This is an original "race" to the finish, because you play as a marble and go down a 3D course full of traps, hazards like puddles of acid, vacuums, enemy marbles, slinkies that eat your marble and several challenges. This is not a game for children or anyone who can get frustrated easily, because first of all the controls are not where you press down and your marble goes down, when you press down your marble goes diagonally down and left! Secondly, if you fall far enough, your marble will break and crumble, but fear not, because you have unlimited "marbles," however you are limited by time. Once your time runs out, that's it! There are only five courses in the game. This game is a perfect recreation of the original Nintendo game. There is a two player linked mode, so two players can race each other down the course.』
(Difficult to play) 『For me, the bottom line is: this game is difficult to play on a gameboy. The original arcade game used a trackball and it was a very fun and exciting game. This does not translate well to how a gameboy is played. It is difficult to move the marble around 360 degrees. I do not recommend this game.』
(not like the original) 『The original marble madness is really good. it was ported to the gameboy and had great phisics and was exactly like the amiga and arcade versions, there was only one porblem, it was in black and white. Well my friends this new game was supposed to fix all that. Unfortunatly it failed. Hear me out and I'll tell you why. Instead of modifying the old engine of marble madness they oppted to make an entirly new one, Big mistake, although this looks exactly like the first one its very different in gameplay. First of all the phisics are all wrong, hills present little problem to get over and if you are going through a lot of twisty doo dads(for lake of a better name) you will fall off instead of skiming off the sides like in the original. Another problem is that it slows down in some areas, Slows down? why? Its not over the limits of what a gbc(gameboy color) can do, all I can attribute this to is the game company rushing it, and therefore forgeting to fix some major bugs and slowdown issues. Also, unlike the original, the muliplayer was pulled out of this version at the last second, so no playing head to head with your friend:( All in All this was a rushed game that should have had at least two more monthes of programing and bug fixing before it was released. On the plus side it has one more level than the old version, and its in color. P.S. I recomend the original gb version, it may not be in color, but at least you can play it with a friend, and it has great phisics.』

(One of my favorites.) 『I love the blend of action/comedy. They are a great duo in this movie. The action is just awesome and the jokes are well placed. A must buy.』
(Watcha Goona Do When they come for you, bad boys, bad boys) 『will smith&Martin Lawrence return for more action&comedy in bad boys 2. this time they'll make you laugh untile you pee. this movie is really good. it's a must see. if you liked the first then you'll like this one.』
(Bad Boys 2) 『I just love this movie. With these two actors you always in for some fun.』
(BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!) 『In my opinion I believe this movie is the best movie ever made. I really hope they make a Bad Boys III. A must own!!』 『Hang on for maximum mayhem, full-on fun and the wildest chase scenes ever put on film! The action and comedy never stop when superstars Martin Lawrence and Will Smith reunite as out-of-control trash-talking buddy cops. Bullets fly, cars crash, and laughs explode as they pursue a whacked-out drug lord from the streets of Miami to the barrios of Cuba. But the real fireworks result when Lawrence discovers that playboy Smith is secretly romancing his sexy sister, Gabrielle Union (Bring it On). Director Michael Bay (Pearl Harbor, Armageddon) and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean, Black Hawk Down) deliver a high-speed, high-octane blockbuster that will blow you away! "...Year's most action-packed and high-flying flick." (Shawn Edwards, FOX TV).』 『No one goes to a movie directed by Michael Bay for delicacy and grace; you go because Michael Bay (Armageddon,The Rock) knows how to make your bones rattle during a high-speed chase when a car flips over, spins through the air, and smacks another car with a visceral crunch.Bad Boys IIfulfills this expectation and then some. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence may be mere puppets amid all this burning rubber and shrieking metal, but they actually provide a human core to the endless cascade of car wrecks and gunfights. Their easy rapport makes their personal problems--a running joke is Lawrence's attempts at anger management--as engaging as the sheer visual hullabaloo of bullets and explosions. The plot is recycled nonsense about drug lords and dead bodies being used to smuggle drugs, but orchestration of violence is symphonic. If that's your thing, then this is for you.--Bret Fetzer』
IPhone 3G used's review (AWESOME) 『This title is very funny... buy it right now if you are into BIG laughs... you will be very pleased with your decision』
(Ali G is da man...) 『I wanted to write and let you know that I think this is a peculiar and particularly funny DVD collection. But I should mention that the humor really grows on you, and requires repeat viewings to catch all the double entendre and hidden jokes. Also, many of the jokes have to be heard two or three times, before they become as funny as they truly are. And believe me, they are hysterical.
Ali G is just one of the three characters played by Sacha Baron Cohen. A British humorist, from London presumably, this DVD is one funny show. Hard to believe that a Jewish man, from England, could play a "white Americaninized rapper" but play he does; with the minds and imaginations of many famous and important people. I cannot believe that he gets Boutros Boutros Kahli to rap? Amazing.
I first heard of this DVD/show from the star's interview on the Howard Stern show, and I was instantly entranced. I am a big fan of the "hidden camera" type shows (please see my other reviews) from the likes of Jamie Kennedy, and others, and assumed that this was the same type of show. But what is amazing is that everyone on the set knows they are being filmed, and yet, they continue to sit there, and take his abuse.
Howard Stern asked him his method of obtaining interviews, and Mr. Cohen could not reveal his secret for fear of not being able to repeat the process. However, it is clear, after viewing, Mr. Cohen is an expert ad-libber, and a very funny comedienne. He has my vote for funniest person from England.
My second favorite character is Bruno, the sexually confused high profile personality interviewer from Austria. He is brilliantly inept, and quite stupid. The fact that he more often interviews secondary no-body's, and doesn't get near anyone remotely famous, makes it even funnier. In one segment he is interviewing the owner of a fancy boutique, and he tells him, presumably when the film isn't rolling, to say that Madonna comes to his shop on a regular basis, 'cuz zat is much more interesting for 'ze viewers.' HILARIOUS!!!
Lastly is Borat, a Kazakhstan TV reporter who seems to limit his low command of the English Language to only the most embarrassing subjects and questions, much to the chagrin of those being interviewed. I find it hard to believe this man would even be married in his home country, but showing naked pictures of his "wife" to complete strangers is not past him. Watching him run down the streets of Manhattan after taxis is funny, and stupid at the same time. Supposedly his shows are telecast in his home country, and I suspect his "innocent foreigner" questions are what help to warm him up to his "victims." We Americans are quite trusting.
Season 2 was just released last Tuesday, 9/13/2005, and I await my UMD version from Amazon. Hopefully, I'll follow up with a review sometime next week. I give "Seazon 1" two thumbs up!!! (Review is based on the DVD viewing of the same name.) 』 『The outrageous comedy/reality series stars British chameleon Sacha Baron Cohen, who travels across America in the guise of one of three totally different characters. Cohen's primary alter-ego is Ali G., who calls himself a "hip-hop journalist", but who's really a white rapper-wannabe. When Cohen isn't putting Ali G and his "guests" in unusual and often delightfully uncomfortable situations, he's shedding his yellow gangsta track suit attire and slipping into two other memorable characters: Borat, an impossibly naive TV reporter from Kazakhstan, and Bruno, a gay, Austrian fashionista. Each of these characters will be traversing America, exploring different aspects of our culture, and interviewing real celebrities and dignitaries.

IPhone 3G used's review (Not bad for a gameboy version) 『I purchased this game when I found out that Turok was on gameboy. It's not as good as the N64 version, but it's a pretty good substitute. If you like Turok games and gameboy games, I recommend that you buy this, I'm sure that you will enjoy it.』
(Another TUROK game for GBC....But this one's Pretty Good) 『I recently purchased this game a week ago. I must have played that game 4 hours before I needed a rest,the game is very entertaining. The graphics were very impressive,especially on the GBC.The point of the game is kinda weird,but that doesnt affect the gameplay.It is true that there are only 4 levels in the game,that may sound pretty short but trust me,its not.Each level is split up into 4 or 5 different parts(when i say parts,I mean backround setting changes,baddies and such.Sometimes you will find yourself trying to beat one of the parts really fast because of the scrolling screen. One of my favourite things about the game is the variety of weapons u can get,and whats even better is the weapon combining feature,where u can take two weapons u have and combine them 2 make a more powerful one. Over all,Turok:Rage Wars is an A+ game. The -1 star is because once you beat the game a few times it will get boring,but that will take a while anyways.GREAT GAME!』
