It's an amiibo. It's the original 8-bit Mario. This far into the Amiibo game, either you're in or you're out. I'm not going for 100%, I only want characters with sentimental value or the ones I main in Smash. Super Mario Bros was the very first video game I played, so it was a no brainer for me.

As you've probably read, there are no spoilers in this expansion if for some reason you're one of the handful of people who still haven't seen TFA. This game just highlights one of the biggest gripes against the new movie, which is, a lot of things seem recycled from Episode 4. Sure you've got new characters, but the locations and missions are all almost identical to Episode 4. In spite of that, my wife and I both enjoy playing, even though my wife isn't a gamer. Any game my wife can get into, I'm 100% all for it, and if I can pick up sweet Star Wars figures while I'm at it, well definitely count me in.

Yoda, the pint-sized Jedi grandmaster of them all. Hilariously, my wife complains that his POV is too narrow because even in the game, he's super short. But, in the game, he's so much fun. His ultimate power is a throwback to the acrobatic fighting style shown in Ep 1-3, so he bounces back and forth between enemies. He doesn't have a blaster like Luke for his ranged attack, instead, he does a force dash which allows you to close the gap and unleash a quick combo. I enjoy playing with Yoda a lot, even though they completely left him out of story scenes in the Rise Against the Empire expansion.

To get this out there, this is not a faithful recreation of the original trilogy. The three movies were condensed into 3 planets, and lots of story points were changed to include Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie. Big locales are present and bring back some of the nostalgia, but overall, this is still an Infinity expansion. Despite all that, I still found myself having lots of fun. The X-wing missions are there, flying the Falcon is there, and of course, lots of combat. As long as you're not looking for a 1:1 accurate recreation of the original trilogy, I'm sure you'll enjoy this expansion as much as I did.

I've been playing video games since I was a child, but my wife definitely is not a gamer. Super smash bros, while tons of fun for me, is too chaotic for her. That being said, we can play Infinity together and both have a good time. Toy Box takeover adds a story-based expansion where you have to retrieve Merlin's wand from the bad guys. You can use any and all figures from Disney 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, meaning I can have Thor and Yoda fighting side by side. Great fun.

excellent figure and addition

build quality is on par for other infinity figures, which is to say, excellent. Personally, I really enjoy the Disney Infinity aesthetic. In-game, Thor can throw his hammer for ranged, and swing his hammer for melee. Thor can also fly, which is much more enjoyable than running around in the toy box in my opinion.

Kojima Productions ushers in a new era for the Metal Gear Solid V franchise with its newest chapter — Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain — which is set nine years after the fall of Mother Base and the other events in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. The game resumes the storyline in 1984 with the Cold War as the bleak, fear-inducing backdrop, which continues to shape an impending global crisis that potentially cannot be averted. After lying dead to the world in a near-decade-long coma, you finally awaken as Snake, a.k.a. Big Boss, filled with the thirst for revenge.Set off in pursuit of the shadow group, XOF, as Snake in The Phantom Pain, which features an open-world design, giving you ultimate tactical freedom in carrying out your missions and progressing through the game. Thanks to the Fox Engine, you can enjoy cutting-edge visual technology with photorealistic graphics and cinema-quality storytelling, making it feel as if you're truly part of the action. Delve into the dark nature of combat, exploring intense themes, such as the psychology of warfare and the resulting atrocities. Showcase your skills of stealth in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Kojima's swan song at Konami
on October 13, 2015
Posted by: codeblue
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you've never played a Metal Gear game, be prepared to be utterly confused by the conspiracy talk online, or even the storyline of the game. Of all the games so far, MGS V is actually the most accessible in terms of gameplay. New gamer? Stealth too hard because you have no patience? No problem, as Kojima programmed an in-game "easy mode" via the chicken hat that triggers only after you've failed a mission repeatedly, letting you progress without making the game entirely too easy.
The fox engine makes lighting look amazingly photorealistic, and the controls are super tight as to be expected from a metal gear game. Unlike previous metal gear games, V is open-world, so it's more in line with the current trend of game design. You have more freedom to approach objectives however you like.
All in all, I'd recommend any metal gear fan get this because it's most likely Kojima's (and possibly the series') final entry. If you're a metal gear newbie, the convoluted nature of the metal gear lore can be jarring. However, even metal gear solid vets find the stories crazy and outlandish, so that may not be as big of a deterrent.

MacBook Air features fifth-generation Intel Core processors with stunning graphics, all-day battery life*, ultrafast flash storage, and great built-in apps. It's thin, light and durable enough to take everywhere you go — and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.

best value of the MacBook line
on October 13, 2015
Posted by: codeblue
Verified Purchase:Yes
As stated above, among the MacBook family, the 13 in. Air offers the best mix of portability, performance, battery life, for the price. The new MacBook is sleeker with a retina display, but with the USB-C as its sole port, it's not worth the price:performance ratio in my opinion. The Pros are always nice, but a dedicated GPU is only really necessary for people doing stuff like CAD, music, etc. For 90% of people who buy Apple laptops, they're checking facebook, reading email, or using it as a work machine, which means a retina display or dedicated GPU are unnoticeable.
The 13 in. Air offers the best battery life, meaning you can actually carry it all day for work without having to be tethered to a power cable, and for word processing or even Netflix on that screen size, the non-retina display hardly gets noticed.

Same great game, improved controllers
on October 13, 2015
Posted by: codeblue
Verified Purchase:Yes
I played Rock Band 1 and loved it, but then like many others, became exhausted by the almost yearly rehash of the same system. Now being several years out of the music game genre, I was surprised to find myself being interested in Rock Band once again.
The controllers:
Improved build quality with tighter joints on the drums, and more solid body on the guitar. The strum bar is unfortunately still very mushy without the satisfying "click" you get on the guitar hero controllers
The game:
Very barebones, character creation is very limited with only a few preset choices, but the career mode adds a sort of RPG-lite features, reminiscent of the old choose your own adventure books. For example, one of the early band choices you're offered is to hire a sleazy manager for more cash flow or to stay true to the music and gain more fans but less money. Personally, I find it more enjoyable than just bouncing around from locale to locale and playing gigs, as I feel like the choices actually make you feel more like a real band.
In conclusion, it's fun, but definitely more for the group dynamic. If you're predominantly going to be playing solo, this probably isn't the best choice for you.

good figure, not as accurate as other amiibo
on October 13, 2015
Posted by: codeblue
Verified Purchase:Yes
As with other Amiibo, the quality is hit or miss. I looked through all the available Marth figures on the shelf and some had bent swords, some had paint run-off, others had even more of a derpy expression, so be sure to examine your figure before you buy it. That being said, Marth used to be a unicorn figure available only to those willing to pay a king's ransom. Thankfully not so any more. If you like Marth or main him on Smash, get the figure. If you're a potential scalper seeking to crush the hopes and dreams of legitimate collectors, unfortunately, the window of opportunity for exaggerated profits are gone as Nintendo has finally ramped up reproduction of their previously ultra-rare figures.
