You take the lead as your team approaches a clean new area, free of color and chaos. With a smirk, you take it all in — you'll soon change that. Two teammates begin spraying down walls, floors, ceilings and every other imaginable surface with ink, claiming this territory as your own with a vivid wash of your colors. You and another fighter scan the area for enemies. The opposition never sees you as you sneak up and douse them in an ink bath they'll never forget. This turf is all yours — it's time to move on and paint the whole world in your team's colors.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink. Take on the role of an Inkling, a squid-like fighter ready to cover yourself and everything around you with your team's hues. Cover the terrain around you in ink to claim it, and spray walls to gain access to hard-to-reach areas. Earn high-powered super weapons by soaking your turf in ink, so you can cover your enemies in color or spray more territory. Put on your thinking cap to dream up devastating strategies, but don't forget to keep an eye on your turf — too much attention on the other team may lead to a redecoration of your own territory. Easily refill your tank or hide from enemies with just a touch of a button, or transform into a squid and dive into ink for a blazing-fast speed boost. Attack your own way with a multitude of control options thanks to the Wii U GamePad controller, including gyroscopic controls that let you look around, aim and more with precision. Band together with three friends and get online to take on other teams in four-on-four matches that will have you perched on the edge of your seat. A color-soaked battle awaits — are you ready to claim your turf?

Fun but repetative

As the title says, it's fun, but very repetitive and redundant.

Envision the imaginative recesses of your mind springing to life in material form — sprawling steel structures that glisten in the sun's noon-time rays, unfolding as fast as your thoughts. Create a metropolitan legacy that will serve as a testament to your ability as a master architect. With SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow, the power to create is truly in your hands. Will you choose to exploit your Sims as overworked laborers — surviving on meager wages as they toil relentlessly within your constantly burgeoning mega corporation? Or will you create a green, energy-efficient utopia? Will your city's future be rooted in consumerist greed and crushing ambition or will it spring from a sustainable, egalitarian perspective? The choice is yours.The SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow Expansion Pack enhances your SimCity experience by offering two new city specializations for you to choose between — a giant, supply-guzzling business that is powered by an oppressed workforce and a gluttonous sense of industrialism or an urban paradise that actively strives to preserve the planet's natural resources. You'll be able to expand your city outward and upward with enormous, multizone MegaTowers. As your city's population grows, your choices will influence whether your Sims abide side by side in peace and harmony or whether they bristle with barely subdued tension. Perform extensive research and discover technologies that will make your city less polluted and reliant on finite resources or enjoy high-tech luxuries, such as futurized vehicles, service drones and Mag Levs that rise above the streets and small buildings — but beware of giant robot attacks, which may occur as a result of scientific infusion into society. Decide which segments of your city's populace — good or bad — will be sent on an adventure to the stars as space tourists with Launch Arcology. Gaze in awe as your civilians launch off into the unknown in a spectacular display of stellar proportions. What will the future of your city look like?

Still a Sim City fan

Verified Purchase:Yes
I know a lot of people were disappointed in SC5, but it still had its charm. And they have been constantly patching and improving the game. The expansion adds a new level of city building. New ways to build and some more fun ways to manage your city. Its fun to have multiple city types that all feel unique and CoT adds a whole new dynamic.

Some ok tracks, but disappointing
on March 14, 2015
Posted by: toby
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really LOVED Lupe's first 2 albums. Lasers was decent, but got a bit too preachy. F&L 2 had a bit of a better mix, but this one was more preachyness. After hearing the pre release tracks, I thought this was going to be a bit more like the first 2 albums, but the album doesn't match the pre release tracks. Lupe still has some of the most creative and intelligent flows, but its a bit to preachy.

Who would have thought there'd ever come a time when desperately searching the environment for what little resources you can find to survive was your idea of relaxing? While the daylight hours may be filled with scavenging for supplies and weapons, the fact that the sun shines in the sky eases your anxiety, because you know what happens the moment it dips beyond the horizon. With the dying light comes a host of horrors that turn the hunter into the hunted. Hoards of infected become aggressive and increase in numbers, searching for you as you searched for weapons to kill them just hours before. But the infected aren't even the most frightening threat. There's something else out there that lurks in the darkness, a more sinister predator that stalks its prey. You are that prey.Set in a vast and dangerous open world, Dying Light drops you in the middle of a waking nightmare in a first-person survival horror experience that will have your heart pounding and adrenaline pumping the second night falls. During the day, you're free to roam the expansive urban environment to scavenge for supplies and craft the weapons you need to defend yourself against the victims of a vicious outbreak. A variety of melee weapons, including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more, are at your disposal, as well as guns and other firepower. The sizeable crafting system enables you to create a slew of more powerful, more potent weapons and equipment with specialized ammunition. You'll need every weapon you can lay your hands on to survive the night — when the infected roam free and the night-loving predators begin their hunt. Whether you're tracking prey or evading predators, you can seamlessly leap between buildings, grapple up walls and pounce on enemies with free running movement. With breathtaking visuals and immersive gameplay, powered by Chrome Engine 6, you'll begin to fear the night right along with your character. But your only chance is to face the dying light and use every ounce of wit, skill and courage you have to survive until morning comes.

Fun, intense Zombie action

I was afraid that this was going to be too much like Dead Island. To my surprise, its a way more serious tone. Some very intense moments early on, and that feeling of not being safe lingers.

The Smash formula is more of the same, but that's not a bad thing. It's still fun, especially with others.

Sunset Overdrive is a great exclusive for Microsoft. Fun game, memorable characters, with a slightly lacking story. Great control, great gameplay, great soundtrack.

Good value, but needs more

Verified Purchase:Yes
The remake of all 3 titles are decent, nothing really changed, not worth revisiting. If you haven't played, however, this is a great set of games. The controls needed to be refined, and I would have liked to see a bit more graphical update. But 3 titles for less than 1, great deal.

I was excited to pick up this disc, as I'm a big fan of J. Cole. This album was pretty lacking however. There are a couple good songs, but overall, pretty average.

Great game with a good story, characters, graphics and score. Amazing writing. However the combat can be a bit redundant. There is plenty to do in DA:I and worth picking up.
