I first heard these guys back in July on our local rock radio station. I was instantly hooked with their first single "Lydia." I had no idea who they were but every time the song came on I was entranced. I then checked them out on Youtube and fell in love. Just saw them in concert in Minneapolis two weeks ago and the show as well as this CD was well worth the money. Can't wait to see them again! I predict big things from these boys.

Who would have thought there'd ever come a time when desperately searching the environment for what little resources you can find to survive was your idea of relaxing? While the daylight hours may be filled with scavenging for supplies and weapons, the fact that the sun shines in the sky eases your anxiety, because you know what happens the moment it dips beyond the horizon. With the dying light comes a host of horrors that turn the hunter into the hunted. Hoards of infected become aggressive and increase in numbers, searching for you as you searched for weapons to kill them just hours before. But the infected aren't even the most frightening threat. There's something else out there that lurks in the darkness, a more sinister predator that stalks its prey. You are that prey.Set in a vast and dangerous open world, Dying Light drops you in the middle of a waking nightmare in a first-person survival horror experience that will have your heart pounding and adrenaline pumping the second night falls. During the day, you're free to roam the expansive urban environment to scavenge for supplies and craft the weapons you need to defend yourself against the victims of a vicious outbreak. A variety of melee weapons, including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more, are at your disposal, as well as guns and other firepower. The sizeable crafting system enables you to create a slew of more powerful, more potent weapons and equipment with specialized ammunition. You'll need every weapon you can lay your hands on to survive the night — when the infected roam free and the night-loving predators begin their hunt. Whether you're tracking prey or evading predators, you can seamlessly leap between buildings, grapple up walls and pounce on enemies with free running movement. With breathtaking visuals and immersive gameplay, powered by Chrome Engine 6, you'll begin to fear the night right along with your character. But your only chance is to face the dying light and use every ounce of wit, skill and courage you have to survive until morning comes.

Good game, but not without a few annoyances.

Dying Light is the latest Zombie outing from Poland's Techland Studios. It's a fairly enjoyable game, much better than Dead Island but it does have a number of issues. The controls are a little strange but you get used to them. It plays like a mix of Far Cry and Mirrors Edge. I'm not AT ALL a fan of pushing the left stick down to run or right bumper to grab onto ledges. The music is okay, but it needs more variety. I like the sort of ambient 80's style synth, but the music never changes and gets rather old. The voice acting is okay. The protagonist (who is a very stereo-typical "dude-bro" ) is voiced by the same guy who voiced Chris Redfield in the newer Resident Evil Games. My only issue with the sounds, are that some of them are kind dumb. Like when you set off an explosion you there is the background sound of zombies breaking through a door and attacking. What the hell? It's scary the first time you hear that because you think a bunch of zombies are coming to get you. But then you realize it's nothing more than the cheap sound effects you would hear at a Haunted Maze or House around Halloween. Basically the same sounds get used over and over and it gets old fast. Overall, I do like the game. The Skill Tree is very meh. There is tedium in the side quests and weapons constantly breaking unless you obsessive compulsively repair them (very irritating when you have a good weapon mod attached.) The story is forgettable and totally cliche'. Dying Light is just a slap em, chop em up and and beat em to the ground Zombie game so don't expect to much intelligence .. so to speak. If your a fan of Far Cry or other first person Action games you will probably love it. But expect your IQ to drop a few points because like the zombies it focus' around there is very little intelligence in this game.

I initially heard these two on 93X back in July and was intrigued. I'm a huge fan of Arctic Monkeys and Jack White/Raconteurs/White Stripes so I waited for the full length to come out at the end of August. Needless to say it has not left my cd player in my car since. I absolutely love it, front to back it's amazing. I even had the pleasure of seeing them at Mill City Nights in September and I cannot wait until they return! (Unless I go to them!)

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.

This is the Wolfenstein I have been waiting for!

Wolfenstein was the (first) First Person Shooter I ever played (like many others) way back in 1993 when I was just 9 Years old and I will never forget that. I played the Ravensoft release in 2009 and found that to be quite a sleeper hit and very enjoyable. This latest game was made by MachineGames in Sweden and does not disappoint. Solid controls, great weapons and excellent memorable character designs. It's just long enough, not too short and not drawn out. If you want a new FPS on Xbox One definitely give this a go, you will not regret it. It's a game that was definitely made for the fans but did not alienate any will be new players at the same time. Highly recommended.

Excellent German WWII (three part) Mini-series!

If you are a fan of German WWII Drama's in the vein of Downfall with Bruno Ganz or Das Boot, look no further. Generation War is an excellent and haunting portayal of Germany's War with Russia and the cataclysmic ramifications that soon followed. Up to this point I don't think the German invasion has ever been captured so well on film. Some may feel it's not action heavy enough but that's exactly what I wanted. Just good, bleak drama that shows how pitiful war can be for not just Germany but on country that feels so inclined to partake. Definitely check this out if you like German films and dark, moody dramas.
