This release from the cult hit animated action-comedy series Adventure Time includes every episode of the show's fifth season, following the story of Finn the Human, a boy with a taste for danger, who inhabits the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo, where he engages with fantastical hilarity with his friend Jake.
Adventure Time is an animated series that is as charming as it is colorful and vibrant. The commentaries previous seasons had are absent, but the picture quality and audio quality are still great! This set comes on two blu-ray discs and an Ultraviolet code for redemption on Flixster. More animated television shows on blu-ray is not only a good thing, but also something to celebrate. Adventure Time: The Complete Fifth Season on blu-ray gets my highest recommendation.
Courage and honor. The protection of the weak. Nobility and honesty. Skill in combat. Leadership. When you think of knights, there are a few qualities that come to mind. No matter who you ask, from nearly any time in the last handful of centuries, you'll get the same answers every time — because to earn the title of a knight, you must possess the nature of a hero. Would the same hold true in an alternate universe? Will the meaning of a knight always be upheld?See if you possess the qualities of a true knight and join The Order, an elite community of knights that has been engaged in a centuries-old war — a war that will determine the course of history forever. Even in this unique version of Victorian-era London, the knights fight on the side of good, attempting to protect man from a powerful and ancient foe. So harness the technologically advanced weaponry, gather your courage and fight for honor — it's your duty.
The Order 1886 is like your favorite burger place. It does one thing, and it does it well. In the case of The Order, the thing it does well is graphics. It's arguably one of the best looking games to date. Unfortunately, there are sacrifices made in the area of gameplay. In short, it's a generic shooter. There are no mechanics that make it stand out from the majority of other third-person shooters on the market. In addition, the game is also noticeably linear, with few places to explore, which is a shame when considering how great the game looks. I picked this up during the "deal of the day" sale price of $20. Honestly, I feel that it's the appropriate price for this game. I say this because the game is incredibly short (about 7-8 hours) with the only things to do after finishing the game being to play again and look for any collectibles you may have missed. Would I recommend this game? Yes, but only at the price of $25 or below.

While "Mortal Kombat" for the PS3 and 360 had a story that was more accesible to those who weren't already familiar with the series, Mortal Kombat X for the PS4 and Xbox One innovates in the area of gameplay. This is done through the addition of new characters with new moves, as well as quick time events. Mortal Kombat X is one of my favorite games of the current generation, and comes highly recommended.

Before I get into what's new in this re-released game, I first must say that God of War 3 is an incredible game. It was great back in 2010, and it's still great now. For this new release of the game, there's not much that's been done. The game has been remastered, and now runs at 60 frames-per-second and 1080p. The only other thing that's new is a photo mode. That sounds great in theory, but much like you don't have control of the camera when playing the God of War games, you have very little ability to rotate the camera in photo mode. You do have a variety of filters to take interesting screenshots with, but the inability to rotate the camera is immensely disappointing and somewhat defeats the purpose of having a photo mode at all. Would I recommend God of War 3 Remastered to someone who has never played God of War 3? In a heartbeat! Would I recommend this to someone who has already experienced this chapter in Kratos' story? The answer's still yes, but due to the sparse amount of new features for this release, I'd recommend waiting for a price drop first, making this more of a value.
