FINALLY Back to Basics!! (Multiplayer-Only Review)
on January 20, 2018
Posted by: JGouse0498

Verified Purchase:Yes
Every year, Activision promises some type of user-friendly revamp of the CoD franchise, and, well...look where that got us: INFINITE WARFARE. Naturally, hearing WWII would go "back to its roots" and return to "boots on the ground" action, yeah I was skeptical.
But wow! They were right! This feels like it belongs back in the MODERN WARFARE and WORLD AT WAR era of the franchise! With just a dozen or so Scorestreaks available and perks/weapon upgrades spread out across different Leveling-Up components brings variety, balance, and competitiveness back to the game. HQ is also a welcome addition both as a social space and a way to provide a more interactive experience. Plus, the Scorestreak Training Ground is loads of fun!
The only things preventing me from giving a 5-star review (again, MP only as I've not played Campaign nor Zombies) are that quickscoping is again problematic and there are too many times that the game doesn't immediately load you into a game (i.e. you start with your group but get stuck in "Spectating Mode" anywhere from 5 seconds to nearly an entire minute, which puts you at a disadvantage right off the bat).

Lots of Potential (and scarily good microphone!!)
on April 29, 2017
Posted by: JGouse0498

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a bit of an incomplete review as I haven't been able to fully explore its features (this was purchased in anticipating of "smart homing" the house I'm moving into in about three weeks).
For now, I use it primarily to inquire about the weather, and I can do so from two rooms away. This microphone is absolutely scary in its sensitivity. I can breathe "hey Google" in a whisper from 20 feet away, and it responds!
With its compatibility to other products growing regularly and Google Assistant maturing more and more, Home has a lot of potential and is worth the $130 investment--provided Google really commits long-term to developing it.

Incredible Value and Performance!

Verified Purchase:Yes
On a whim, I bought this for $299 during a really good sale. It's my first UHD 4K resolution television, so I didn't really know what to expect. Despite missing HDR and its entry-level pricing, this is an incredible product!! Sure it lacks the performance of $1000+ units, but this is a fantastic television and well worth the money.
And XBOX ONE games look absolutely stunning on it too!
My only regret is that I didn't splurge and get a larger screen size.

Lot of Value for a Reasonable Price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been away from console gaming for the past several years, so I was completely surprised to see what the XBOX LIVE experience had become in my absence. While the interface can be overwhelming at first, Microsoft has truly done a fantastic job with making a cohesive entertainment hub! And the perks (such as free games, special sales, etc) really sweeten the pot for paying the monthly and/or yearly fees.
This service is just as good as Amazon Prime (for a comparison)

The RIGHT Way to Make a LEGO Game!
on April 14, 2017
Posted by: JGouse0498
from Wilkes-Barre, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's no secret that Telltale Games has flooded the console market with seemingly endless LEGO games, and they're all pretty much the same after awhile. However, LEGO DIMENSIONS is the "be all, end all" version...the ultimate realization of the brand's potential.
Yes, the expansion packs are too expensive and reek of money grabbing. We'll just get that out of the way first. However, they do add fun variety to the base game. The gamepad could be bigger too as it can get crowded quickly.
The idea of needing to interact with the game in order to build the kits is a fun one (and in case you're wondering, the LEGO website DOES have PDF instructions for all the kits and their variations in case you don't have access to the game).
I'm only halfway through the game, and while there are some frustrating and repetitious parts, it's a fun game that challenges you with its puzzles without becoming maddening.
Personally, I'd love to see Telltale and LEGO invest in adding on to this core game with new story packs rather than churning out full games from now on.
Definitely worth the time and money!

Only because Amazon doesn't support Chromecast...

Verified Purchase:Yes
That's the ONLY reason I would use this. The interface is clunky and lags. The voice search is pretty useless. Alexa on the Fire Stick doesn't seem to know or understand a whole lot.
Video playback is pretty smooth though, and it doesn't drop the connection in the middle of streaming. Chromecast is a much smoother experience. The only things the Fire Stick have going for it are a physical remote and access to Amazon Prime Video.

An absolute necessity!

What you've heard is true: the controller cable on the NES Classic is about two feet long. Even the original NES had a longer cord. This 6 foot extension cable is an absolute necessity! Thankfully, it connects securely and has no visible lag in gameplay.

An almost perfect walk down memory lane
on December 9, 2016
Posted by: JGouse0498
from Wilkes-Barre, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let me be absolutely clear: for $60, this machine is definitely worth the price! These games have never looked so clear, and it really does feel like you're playing the original NES! Granted, some of the game selections are questionable (why Super C instead of the original Contra?), but there are enough classic titles here to forgive that.
There are only two glaring flaws. The first is the ridiculously short controller cable. Buying the Insignia-branded extension cord is an absolute must! Second, the game selection and save interface is way too complicated and inconvenient. Why not have options for both come up when you pause the game?
Instead, you have to physically press the console's reset button to go back to the selection screen. The game save interface is even more convoluted and has already resulted in a few botched game saves. It can't even be sufficiently described in words. You've got to see it in action.
Those two qualms aside though, this NES Classic Edition is a guaranteed hit for those of us who grew up in the 80s and early 90s.

CAUTION: 2nd edition re-issue w/o Garth Brooks

Posted by: JGouse0498
from Wilkes-Barre, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Reviewing this on behalf of my wife for whom I bought this album. She loves it! But be cautioned: this is revised edition NOT the actual original issue soundtrack. This one has the headliner Garth Brooks track omitted, replaced by part of the orchestral score by Dave Grusin. All other tracks are still there, I believe.
