Review title: Awsome Product review: Half-life 2 is gonna be the best game for a long time. All new effects and technology is used to make this game perfect. One thing i dont understand is (Please do not be mad at me for asking a question) Why is this game coming out December 15th? Half-life 2 comes out September 30th.

Review title: Over-played throwaway $#&*^#@*@#!!(junk) Product review: This album has no worth. TLC's second album was pretty appealing to me, yet the first was just a bunch of clutter and junk moving around over vocals. So this was TLC's chance to prove what they're really made of. Okay, I'll admit "No Scrubs" was a good track, but after seeing the video a bazillion times and remembering all the video posterings it was played so much, it lost flavor. I can't stand hearing this commercialized synthesizer-dominated I liked "No Scrubs" before the video came out. Back then no one even knew what the hell a scrub was. Compared to their last album, this is terrible(it is compared to anything, really), but I can't believe after CrazySexyCool that they would put out this junk. Sorry TLC(and fans), but the only reason this is popular is because of the "scrub hype".

Review title: Not the next Potter Product review: Artemis Fowl is often compared to Harry Potter but it doesn't live up to the hype. Sadly, Colfer isn't as good of a writer as Rowling. His writing was both dull and cliché ridden, and the main character mean-spirited and unlikable. This is besides the fact that Artemis Fowl promotes and glorifies extortion, which will not thrill watchful parents. Admittedly, Harry Potter has its faults but is a more enjoyable read. I advise Potter fans to look elsewhere for a substitute until book five is published.
