Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors for Nintendo Wii
Dragon Quest Swords: - Doesn't Live up to it's Lineage
by jeremy1456
Pros: It's Surprisingly Fun to Hack Away at Your Favorite Dragon Quest Monsters
Cons: Some Issues with the Controls, Too Short, Too Linear
Dragon Quest is, in my opinion, the most consistently good RPG series currently on the market. There have been eight installments in the main series - only one of which I would say isn't amazing. As a rather popular series Dragon Quest has seen a decent ...

Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 (WTA-00001) Keyboard and Mouse
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard & Mouse: Easy on the Wrists
by DeRango
Pros: Sharp Keyboard, Wireless Technology, Good Range.
Cons: Eats Batteries, which can become costly, Recommend rechargeable
Wireless keyboards are a great concept, but constant replacement of batteries does make this seemingly perfect technology a bit flawed. I find that replacing or maintaining something is an annoyance that should be kept to a minimum. However the benefit ...

J&R Music and Computer World Online Store
Horrible - one of the worst online retailers
by bohemianguyNew Member
I purchased a Laptop from them since my credit card company had sent me a few gift cards from them. First thing to know is that you can't use multiple gift cards towards a single purchase online so I called them to place an order over the phone and here ...

Motorola H555 Bluetooth Headset FREE SHIPPING
Very Disappointing
by summer247
Pros: Interchangeable earhooks, good fit, generous battery life, mute feature works well
Cons: Unreliable, inconsistent, underwhelming, aesthetically questionable
I received the H555 from Motorola as an in-warranty replacement for my failing H500 (which, btw, I loved). Out of the box, I found this unit to be a disappointment. By design, the rated talk time is two hours less than the H500. Eight hours isn't bad, ...

Kingston (740617138870) (8 GB) MicroSDHC Card
Simply Amazing
by tiktok4321
Pros: 1600 songs on a card the size of your pinky fingernail.  Great bundle.
Cons: Can't nest mini into standard adapter.
Who would have ever though 5 years ago that you could store 1600 songs on a chip that was almost the size and thickness of your pinky fingernail?Frankly, any 8GB Micro SDHC card is worthy of a 5-star, but as the prices drop, you can ...

EMusic Online Store
Don't waste your time!
by cassiesmom1New Member
This is the worst excuse for a music service that I've ever seen.  Most big name groups are not available and if they are, they're old, unpopular versions that no one wants.  I tried getting some of the hit songs by Tina Turner but could only ...

Wii Play™ for Nintendo Wii

Pros: All games compatible with two players. Another Wii game for the shelf for only $10!
Cons: B o r i n g. (except Charge!)
I don't really mean to beat a dead horse into the ground here with yet another lack luster review.  However, looking at my account, I almost give everything a "4" and thought this would be a great opportunity for me to diversity my review ...

Pros: Great for beginners.  Peripherals can be used with Rock Band 2.  Multi Player is awesome.
Cons: Not great for really young beginners.  Wish Guitar didn't require a separate USB receiver.

by kjell1979
Pros: fun, deep, good learning curve, interesting story
Cons: bartending is broken, shallow in some areas
I enjoyed the original Fable. Yeah it didn't meet expectations and it was pretty short, but if purchased at the right price, you could get a lot out of it. When I began to hear more about Fable II, my hopes grew that ...

Cons: Irritating interface, frequent crashes

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 (1183) Video Capture
Excellent card (picture not accurate, though)
by tokar
Pros: Easy to install, works in Vista, comes with Media Center remote.  No problems yet.
Cons: Nothing generic users would care about (e.g. doesn't work with Windows Media Encoder).
If you want to see an accurate picture, look at the picture for the HVR-1600 1101 on epinions.  Like the 1101, the 1183 has 3 coax inputs (ATSC antenna, NTSC cable and FM tuner) one SVideo input and red/white RCA audio inputs.In the ...

Pros: Reasonably priced for a notebook, good screen frame, good battery life, excellent build quality
Cons: Poor graphics card, Poor internal speaker output, no scope for expansion without voiding the warranty
Comparison with Asus Eee PC 1000H No doubt that the Asus Eee PC 1000H is brushing its way past by just a few points, but the MSI Wind is a better performer than 1000H and lags just behind in configuration and looks. I went through the ...

Pros: Sharply detailed graphics, fluid controls, bonus content, high production values
Cons: Game length is a little on the short side
God of War: Chains of Olympus has done the same thing that the SOCOM and the GTA series have done by releasing a new console-styled game designed for the PSP.   However unlike those games, God of War works perfectly on the PSP control scheme. There ...

Kingston DataTraveler 100 (4 GB) USB 2.0 Flash Drive (DT1004GB)
Simple, effective and cheap but a little difficult to use.

Pros: Small, inexpensive and it works.
Cons: No cap means dirt and debris can enter USB connector.
Flash drives have become such a commodity item that differentiating between them is largely a matter of comparing the case designs.  In the Kensington DataTraveler, the USB connector slides out of the case using a tab on side, much like the blade on ...
