Excellent Version of Office
on January 30, 2016
Posted by: Apricot
Verified Purchase:Yes
Office Home & Student 2016, as the version's title implies, is great for any home and student user. It comes with Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote, and all of these programs are excellent for getting work done. As a student myself, I use all of these programs regularly, and I haven't had a problem with any of them. They all work great and are packed with tons of features to help you get work done. If you have Office 2007 - 2013, there isn't much of a reason to upgrade since a lot of Office's functionality is still the same, but if you have any Office programs before 2007, i'd definitely recommend upgrading to 2016 (especially since Office programs before 2007 cannot open newer Office files). Office Home & Student 2016 is also a great option for anybody getting a new computer,

Disappointing Zelda Game
on January 30, 2016
Posted by: Apricot
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes has to be one of the most disappointing Zelda games in the entire series. The story completely falls out of line with anything Zelda and does not even seem like it would be in a Zelda game. There wasn't much of anything interesting in the story, and it seems like something a 6 or 7 year old girl would be interested in, as it focuses on a fashion obsessed land with a princess who was cursed to wear an ugly brown bodysuit. It was just some cheap excuse for the developers to put costumes in the game. The gameplay itself isn't that much better either, unless maybe if you're playing locally. The dungeons in Triforce Heroes are designed for three players and must be played with three players, so in order to play the game, you have three options: play locally with 2 other friends, play online with 2 random people, or play by yourself with 2 dummies. Playing by yourself with the dummies just doesn't work well and controlling them is a huge pain. It's nothing like how you'd control the Links in Four Swords, and if it were like Four Swords in terms of control, it would make the game so much better to play by yourself. Playing online can be fun, depending on who you get and how well the Internet works. Sometimes, you get stuck with people who don't cooperate well and would prefer to just do things like throw other people on the team off cliffs, and even though, you can communicate with others using icons that you tap on the bottom screen, it's not that great of a way to communicate in some circumstances. At other times, the Internet connection may not be that good, and the game might lag like crazy online. I haven't tried playing the game locally because I don't have two other people to play it with, but i'd imagine it would be way more fun with two friends next to you. A key component that is found in the gameplay is the ability for you and your party to wear costumes which give you different abilities, but to be honest, they don't really change up the gameplay that much. It just seems like a way to justify having three Links rather than one since certain abilities can only be done with certain costumes now.
Graphically, the game looks like A Link Between Worlds, which I think was a good choice since ALBW looked really nice. In my opinion, the music isn't that great, though, especially when compared to other Zelda games. Overall, Triforce Heroes is just a lackluster, disappointing Zelda title that really is not worth purchasing. The story is terrible, the gameplay isn't that good unless you have friends locally, and the new costume aspect just isn't that appealing. You'd be better off spending your money on a different game or on a real Zelda game, like A Link Between World or Majora's Mask 3D.

Fast, Reliable Hard Drive with Plenty of Space
on January 16, 2016
Posted by: Apricot
Verified Purchase:Yes
For anybody looking to buy an external hard drive, this is definitely one you should consider! It provides 1TB of extra storage space (931GB in Windows because of how Windows interprets storage), which is plenty of space for any files, images, videos, etc. that you may be looking into backing up/storing. The hard drive also comes with WD software that you can install to maintain the hard drive's health, set a password (optional), and manage the hard drive. It's a very fast hard drive that is very slim, lightweight, and visually appealing. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs more storage or to anyone who needs a backup hard drive.

Shallow and Bland Game but the Amiibos are Amazing
on November 25, 2015
Posted by: Apricot
Verified Purchase:Yes
Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, at its core, is a board game based on the Animal Crossing series which you can customize with villagers and public works projects. It also features multiple different minigames for you to mess around with, most of which are very boring, bland, and unappealing. The boardgame itself, in my opinion, was actually better than the other minigames but still was very shallow, lacking, and, at times, boring. The boardgame is essentially a version of The Game of Life, and while that may sound cool, it just isn't as fun as it sounds. You can choose which month in the year to play in (each with its own holidays/events), but each board is essentially the same thing. The game just doesn't provide much depth and only provides some short-lived fun. On top of this bland game, the only way to really play it is using amiibos (if you couldn't already tell by the title). You can't even enter the game without an Animal Crossing amiibo figure! At the very least, the game is bundled with two Animal Crossing amiibo figures, but if you want to play with more than 2 people, you'll need to buy another Animal Crossing amiibo. If you want to further customize your board and enjoy the other minigames, you'll also need to buy Animal Crossing amiibo cards seperately. Sure, the game comes with 3 of them, but 3 cards don't really provide much for you to mess around with in the game.
While I found the game to be really bland, the amiibos that come with it are the main stars of the show! The Isabelle and Digby amiibos are very nice and detailed, and i'm also pretty happy with the 3 amiibo cards that came with the game!
If you're not an Animal Crossing fan, you'll definitely not enjoy this game, but if you are an Animal Crossing fan (like me), you'll find some fun out of it. The amiibos that come with the game are the main reasons why anybody should want to purchase this bundle, but even at the $60 price tag, it still is pretty expensive. Unless you can find it on sale or lower the price with GCU, I would not recommend you paying $60 for this game.

Excellent Guide with Tons of Information
on October 3, 2015
Posted by: Apricot
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Splatoon game guide provides a large amount of detail about all of the different parts of Splatoon: the single-player mode, the online multiplayer, the characters, the weapons, etc. The information it provides is very useful, especially the information regarding clothing and weapons for your character. The art section of the book, which contains concept art from the game's development, is really cool, and I enjoy looking at Splatoon as it was being created. While this is a great book, it does have some spelling errors scattered throughout the book, and i've even noticed that a whole paragraph talking about Spyke was repeated twice. For these reasons, i've decided to rate it 4 stars rather than 5.
Overall, I would still highly recommend this book. It's price-point ($14.99 at MSRP) may be a bit too high, but it's still a really great guide that provides a large amount of information on the game.

You walk through the brush and into a clearing. Armed with your wits and a powerful weapon that collects the energy from attacks, you feel confident that you're prepared for anything. Out here in the vast wilderness between towns and villages is where the most danger lies. Just as you begin to investigate the massive footprint on the ground, the trees begin to rustle, scaring the birds away. You feel the ground tremble and shake, and then the trees part and a beast of unbelievable proportions emerges. You take a deep breath, charge your weapon and prepare for battle — this is why you are a Monster Hunter.Become part of a traveling caravan that explores new lands and villages as a hunter in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, the latest installment in the popular Monster Hunter franchise. Craft and acquire hundreds of new items and equipment, including all-new rare and powerful G-rank weapons and armor. Take advantage of more fluid climbing motions and the inclusion of jump attacks from walls or ledges to surprise your enemies. Pay attention to the changing terrain that can be altered in battle. Some monsters can cause even ground to slant into a steep slope that could cause you to slide right out of the zone. Jump on top of monsters to deliver a furious burst of attacks with the new gameplay mechanic. Equip yourself with two new weapon classes — the Insect Glaive and the Charge Blade — in addition to the 12 previous weapon types that have been updated and enhanced. Connect with up to three other players over local wireless or via the Nintendo Network to join forces and take down larger-than-life beasts. Do you have what it takes to become the ultimate Monster Hunter?

Fantastic Addition to the Monster Hunter Series
on August 16, 2015
Posted by: Apricot
Verified Purchase:Yes
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate provides countless hours of content and fun, especially with the extra DLC the game keeps getting each month. For those who are new to the series, there is a very steep learning curve, so it may take some time to get a hang of the game. However, those who are returning to the series will be able to jump right in and have a blast with the game. Like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, you take on missions by the monster guild, where you do things like hunt down monsters, deliver eggs, or craft something using things you find. Online/local multiplayer hunts as well as explorations bring even more replay value and fun to an already great game! MH4U can be pretty challenging as you progress through the game, too, especially near the level 4 and 5 quests; personally, I love the challenge the game offers! The only downside i've had with this game is controlling the camera, as I have a 3DS XL and need to use the L button or the touch screen to move the camera. Those with the "New" 3DS XL should have an easier time, though, as the "New" 3DS XL has the c-stick that can be used for camera control.
Overall, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is a fantastic 3DS game. Any returning Monster Hunter fan will definitely appreciate MH4U, and newcomers are sure to have a blast after overcoming the steep learning curve the game has.
