Great Router
on April 8, 2016
Posted by: badradio
Verified Purchase:Yes
Upgraded from a previous Nighthawk Netgear router. Speeds definitely improved with this router. For example, even on the 2.4 band, my DL speed on my PS4 went from around 18 down, to now, around 40-50 MB/s. Setting up was a snap. I have owned this router for a few months now and no problems whatsoever. I live with 5 other people that stream and surf the net and is handled flawlessly thus far. Definitely recommend.

OK for price
on April 8, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
This case was one of the first to come out for the Edge, clear and tpu. First thing to know, is that it feels a little flimsy. Covers the entire phobe, but at times easy to come off on corners.
For the price, around $15, is OK since it technically fulfilled what I needed, but will eventually upgrade to a Cruzerlite ypu case when or if they come out for the S7e, since those are more durable.

I'm glad you asked. This card is great when the guy who works being the counter butchers my debit card daily b/c it takes 5+ hard swipes for to do his job. This card is useful.

Not much to say. If you need $20 for a game or dlc, get one. Safer than buying directly from the PlayStation system.

The shadows are his home and keeping Gotham's citizens safe is his sustenance. Darkness envelops his every move and his legend lives in the whispers of each passerby. Known by many names — the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, Batman — this man lives to protect. But by pitting himself against the criminals of a city, he has only made his laundry list of powerful enemies grow. One after another, a new and nefarious threat has risen up and one after another Batman succeeded in bringing them down. But what happens when those menacing masterminds join forces? Who will rescue Gotham when a deadly roster of depraved lunatics gangs up on the shadowed warrior? Who will save us all?The finale to the legendary Arkham series explodes onto your screen in the most adrenaline-pumping storyline yet. The Scarecrow has returned to Gotham City and he has united a terrifying team of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn. For the first time in the franchise, you get to step behind the wheel of the iconic Batmobile as you harness the power of Batman and scramble to outwit the wicked gang after your blood. Tear through the streets and soar across the skyline in heart-pounding gameplay that will suck you in and force you to ask yourself if you have what it takes to save Gotham. Do you have it within you to be the hero the city needs? Or will the villains of Gotham overtake the Dark Knight once and for all?

Good, not great
on March 5, 2016
Posted by: badradio
Verified Purchase:Yes
First the positives:
Graphics, voice acting (well done Mark Hamil!).
The banter between the Joker and Bats is well done. Definitely the highlight of the game. The other notable item are the attention to detail in the graphics, like the rain water on Batmansome cape when flying around Gotham is really nice as well.
The bad:
Story and the controls
I won't go into detail about the plot, but could of been better. The controls are good or bad depending on your play style you prefer. I preferred the controls in the LOTR game to this, even though very similar (same engine I think).
So if a fan of previous games by WB, you should dig this one.

Great for basic earbuds
on February 5, 2016
Posted by: badradio
Verified Purchase:Yes
I prefer these ear buds over the others that go deeper in the ear. Don't expect deep bass or anything extra, but for around $8, you can't go wrong. I have also checked other stores around me, and other than possibly Sony, JVC makes this type of earbud only. Great for plugging into the PS4 controller for games as well.

Outnumbered and outgunned, but not outmatched.Call of Duty: Ghosts is an extraordinary step forward for one of the largest entertainment franchises of all-time. This new chapter in the Call of Duty franchise features a new dynamic where players are on the side of a crippled nation fighting not for freedom, or liberty, but simply to survive.Fueling this all-new Call of Duty experience, the franchise's new next-gen engine delivers stunning levels of immersion and performance, all while maintaining the speed and fluidity of 60 frames-per-second across all platforms.

Broken multiplayer
on April 25, 2014
Posted by: badradio
Campaign is the usual story of saving the world. Difficulty is turned down this time. The real issue is the broken MP. Who did the level design?!?! Comparing good mp maps in COD 4 vs.Ghosts is sad. The devs for Ghosts seems to incorporate higher areas to go and also increase the size of the maps, along with a utterly broken and infuriating respawn system that is still broken from MW3. Since the levels are bigger and more places to hide from higher areas, players just camp. It's pathetic. In the original Modern warfare, there were also areas elevated, but only here and there. Clear left and right areas. Now, like in the freefall map (which has a horrid color palette), you spawn and immediately die because you are in wide open areas. The developers need to go back and see what really made the first modern warfare game so fun. What a disappointment. Selling this game.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Android Phone / Experience available
on January 1, 2012
Posted by: badradio
from simi valley, ca
I have used several phones over the years like the Droid Eris, Iphone 3g, Droid Bionic etc.
I am also a power user and do alot of research into the products I use.
Ice Cream Sandwich - the new Android UI is very intuitive, smooth and looks great on the 720P (HD) screen. BTW - the 4.65" screen is much easier to hold compared to the RAZR, trust me! Google has really optimized this phone to get through apps as fast as possible and it shows.
Also, alot of people like to whine about the camera. The fact that it instant stutters for picture taking is GREAT! Actually captures my nonstop 5 year old in pics! Also has landscape mode with many editing options. Great quality for a cell phone.
PLEASE NOTE! This phone IS different then the rest:
Google (for the most part) phone which means it will get update FIRST before any other.
Only downside so far is the battery life. **
** make sure you don't get crazy with widgets that update all the time! If a widget checks your twitter and/or FB etc. account every 30 minutes, do the math!
Android is what you make it and not what Apple forces you to work with. You have options in how you set up and use your device. Viva la options!
Great phone that will be relevant for years to come.
What's great about it: HD screen, Android 4.0, Camera, Very fast
What's not so great: Battery life* (I'm a power user though)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing, thorough review
January 6, 2012
DROID is a trademark that Verizon paid Lucas Arts to use. Droid is not a company and not one that you should be addressing your complaints to, HTC is.
You should do more research into the products you use before writing about a phone you obviously do not know how to use.

From the award-winning creators of Civilization comes an action-strategy game about civilization's last stand. Threatened by an unknown enemy, the Earth's governments unite to form an elite paramilitary organization, known as XCOM, to combat this extraterrestrial attack. As the commander of XCOM, you control the global defense team in a battle against a terrifying alien invasion by creating a fully operational base, researching alien technologies, planning combat missions, and controlling soldier movement in battle.

Steam Failure
By PMXan from Georgetown, TX
The game itself is great and enjoyable.
The activitation requirement to have Steam is unacceptable and ridiculous. If you could activate without requiring an internet and steam connection, this would be a much more acceptable scenario.

May want to hit up Valve for this rant. Nothing to do with gameplay, story or graphics.
Sigh.......

I've read reviews elsewhere that complain that this build runs really loud. Have you experienced that with yours?

I may not have the best of hearing, but the Wave is literally less then 2 ft from me and I can barely hear it humming. Very quiet!
