Marvel Can't Fail!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Yes, the recent SNL sketch about Marvel being unable to create a bad movie was funny, but Captain America: The Winter Soldier, was the real deal. And the fact that it's plotline drastically changed the direction of TV's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is just icing on the cake. I give the movie 5 Stars, but would take one (or two) away from Marvel overall for no longer offering Combo Packs (Blu-Ray + DVD) on their new releases. Not sure why THEY stopped doing it when its pretty much standard practice throughout the industry, but for those of us who haven't transitioned to Blu-Ray yet, its a good way to prepare for the future. I guess I'll just have to buy the Blu-Ray eventual... OH, I see.

It is 1941. World War II has accumulated death tolls and levels of destruction beyond comprehension. With new weapons, tactics and emerging powers, warfare transformed into a brutal, mechanical massacre on a global scale that few were prepared for. As Robert Hawkins, an American war correspondent, you are joining your fellow countrymen on a journey straight to the heart of the war — the Enemy Front. Explore the breathtaking European countryside and its towns, now overridden with fear and sorrow, polluted with the stench of death and gun powder. Brave the explosions, the shots and the fear in order to complete your mission as part of the Anti-Nazi Resistance. You know one thing: Resistance isn't only about protecting your own, it's about understanding and destroying the enemies. That's the only way to end this brutality, and you'll do whatever it takes to succeed. So take a deep breath, and charge with all your strength onto the Enemy Front.Enemy Front takes you back to the gruesome events of World War II in vivid detail. From the perspective of Robert Hawkins, you run, search, shoot and defend by whatever means necessary. Armed with hand guns, SMGs, rifles and signature Resistance weapons, such as the Sten gun, Welrod Silenced Pistol and the Lightning SMG, you bring unique power to any mission type, including sabotage, espionage, assassination and assault. Meet other Resistance leaders as you travel through the iconic Resistance operations of the Second Great War and the breathtaking, but highly destructible, environments. Study your enemies' class-driven, cover-based behaviors, take on vehicular bosses and engage in spray-and-pray close-quarters combat. Decide where to move, when to run and what to fire — and try to survive the consequences — in a truly interactive first-person shooter with extreme levels of replayability. Immerse completely into the heart-wrenching events, as rapid activity blends with thrilling stealth, sniping and clandestine operations for deeply engaging gameplay. Your experience is always changing thanks to the 10-12 hour Campaigns, Co-Ops and multiplayer options powered by CryEngine technology. You know it is time to end this horrifying war. But is going to take everything you have to survive the Enemy Front. Strap on your helmet, hug your loved ones, and become a part of the most terrifying battles of history.

A Good WW2 Game for Casual Gamers
on October 13, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
This one took me back to the early Medal of Honor games, and often has you following an NPC (or group) into battle. This one kind of runs on rails, and doesn't allow for much exploration, but it does keep up the frenetic energy of charging into battle or the tension of sneaking through enemy lines.

Great Replacement Controller
on October 13, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a new controller as my original controller that came with the console was constantly disconnecting (a bad wire, I imagine). So I went to my local BB and found this one on sale for half of what a standard wired controller retails at. It's been smooth sailing since I picked it up, and I haven't even used the programmable functions that it features...

AHNOLD!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Since returning to the big screen after leaving California's Governor's office, Arnold has been desperately trying to get back his box office mojo... with varying results. A better-than-average caper flick, Sabotage plays like a DEA "Ten Little Indians" as an elite team of agents (who skim a few million from a huge drug cartel bust for their own) gets picked off one by one. There's some good action and the players are all top notch, but the ending had me rolling my eyes at how predictable an outcome it presented. If you're a Schwarzenegger fan, by all means, check it out. All others, approach with caution.

While visually stunning and featuring some truly fantastic battle sequences, the story itself feels a bit hollow, even with the addition of Eva Greene (Penny Dreadful) to the mix. Still, if you enjoyed the original 300, this sequel is worth a watch.

I would have given this game a five-star rating, but unfortunately the game basically boils down to a Player vs. Player (PVP) game, which is fine in small doses, but that's about all it has to offer... which gets boring after constantly getting fragged by 12-year-olds and having to respawn again and again. Had this game featured an in-depth campaign mode like Call of Duty, five stars.

Another great entry in DC Entertainment's animated universe, BATMAN: ASSAULT ON ARKHAM features the Suicide Squad in their first animated appearance in a full-length feature. Great stuff! And the bonus HARLEY QUINN figure included with the Combo Pack was a welcome addition to my collection of Best Buy Exclusive DC figurines (included with every Best Buy DC Combo Pack).

The LEGO Movie was a great surprise for me, very funny, very entertaining, and filled with tons of Easter eggs and sight gags. The Combo Pack is a great value, with DVD and Blu-Ray copies of the film, plus bonus features and a molded stand-up of our LEGO hero. An exclusive Mini-Figure was a nice addition too!

DC (ANIMATED) UNIVERSE CONTINUES TO SHINE
on June 6, 2014
Posted by: OldManPreviews
from Baltimore, MD
Verified Purchase:Yes
Where Marvel currently excels in making live-action features that put butts in theater seats, DC Entertainment's Animation Division continues to create amazing adaptations of some of DC Comics' greatest storylines. However, Son of Batman is an exception. This one is not really a great follow-up to their two part adaptation of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, and uses the story arc written by Grant Morrison as a creative starting point to tell the story of Batman's illegitimate son, Damian, whose mother was Talia, the daughter of the Dark Knight's arch-nemesis, Ra's al Ghul. The animation is average, and the voice acting not as good as previous DC animated films. Still, its worth a look.

Have you ever asked yourself what our world would be like if history had unfolded differently? Have you ever wondered what would happen if one link in the chain of events was reversed? What if, for example, the Nazis had won World War II? The answer is that the face of this planet would be forever changed, irrevocably damaged. The year is 1960 and the worst has happened. The Nazis turned the tide of World War II in their favor with a new, mysterious brand of advanced weaponry that, along with unrelenting force and intimidation, brought even the most powerful nations to their knees. Who among this conquered planet has the courage to stand up to the merciless regime? What man has the guts and the skills to save the world from the grip of this iron fist? You are B.J. Blazkowicz, American war hero, and you are the only man capable of rewriting history. Only you can save us all.Launch the most daring counter-offensive in history in Wolfenstein: The New Order, a game that puts you up against oversize Nazi robots, hulking Super Soldiers and elite shock troops in intense first-person combat. Break into hidden research facilities and heavily guarded weapons stashes to find out where the Nazi's advanced technology came from, and level the playing field by upgrading your own tools of destruction with what you find. From mountaintop car chases to underwater exploration, Wolfenstein: The New Order cultivates an unbelievably exhilarating adventure with high-octane action and an immersive game narrative, created by a group of seasoned developers at MachineGames and rendered in stunning detail with the id Tech 5 engine. So if you think you have the heart and the daring of a hero, go up against this terrifying Nazi regime and restore history to its rightful place.

WOLFENSTEIN: THE NEW ORDER is a bigger, better, more detailed and thorough game than its 2009 predecessor. I have to give it high marks for character design, level design, world building, and well-made cut-scenes that move the story of our hero, B.J. Blazkowicz, forward.
If you love first-person shooters, then this is indeed THE NEW ORDER!
