But what if there's much more to the dangerous and fantastic characters of fairytales than you ever gleaned from the pages of your favorite stories? In Fabletown, the denizens of legends and long-told tales live in tenuous harmony.

Holding it all together is Sheriff Bigby Wolf, fearsome villain of myth turned protector of the inhabitants of Fabletown. Maintaining the peace is a large enough job, but Bigby's days are further complicated by run-ins with two old foes, Colin the Pig, last survivor of three porcine comrades, and the meddling Woodsman. And of course, there's always Bigby's greatest struggle — earning the respect and trust of his neighbors and containing the beast within.Get ready to see familiar and beloved characters in a whole new light in The Wolf Among Us.

The Wolf Among Us (TWAU) is one of the earlier attempts from developer TellTale Games, coming right after The Walking Dead Season 1. It is based off of a comic series that imagines a world where fairy tale characters are real and existing in a noir-ish version of our own world. Excellent storytelling and gamepay on the PS4. Highly recommended.
Experience one of the most revered game series of all time as you follow the perilous journey of Nathan Drake across the globe, from humble beginnings to extraordinary discoveries.

I am still shocked and amazed that all 3 games could fit on 1 Blu Ray disc when the originals each took up their own Blu Ray discs. The remasters are great. Nothing new added to the games and multiplayer has been taken away. But otherwise, a great collection

This game had stellar reviews, and as a lifelong MGS fan, I had high expectations. This game far exceeded those expectations! The quasi-open world gameplay is truly innovative and the level of complexity is astonishing. Great game for everyone, not only MGS fans!

I have always loved the combat of the Batman Arkham series, from which this game borrows its combat system heavily. But add in the LOTR themes and the bad guy progression system takes it to another level. Excellent title

I had played Gears of War when it initially came out on the Xbox 360 back in 2006. It was a lot of fun then (albeit confusing story in campaign) but the visuals and the gameplay were fantastic. This remaster updates the visuals while remaining true to the original in every other way. I prefer some of the sequels, but those are included (in their original form) with this purchase as well! Also included are levels that were present in the PC version but not the console version! A great game to revisit / the best way to play for the first time. Excellent job.

Excellent TV for the given price. As a former plasma owner, with which I was very pleased, I can say that this set comes close to matching the quality of plasma with respect to deep blacks. Not the best, but given the price, size, and quality, it is a set that hits the sweet spot.

As a fan of the original anime who had not seen the movie before, I was excited for what it would bring. It is neither a sequel nor a prequel, but a standalone story taking place within the time of the original series' timeline. That being said, it was a good movie. The disc is pretty barebones; would love to see a special edition one day

Spoiler free: This film presents a relatively original take (for films at least) on artificial intelligence and the morality behind such an event were it to take place. It is science fiction and drama, through and through. It tackles one or two main points straight on and does a good job - it doesn't get too big for the goals that it is trying to achieve. I walked away thinking about what I saw, which is more than I can say for most films. The blu-ray is relatively sparse, but adequate given the relatively low purchase price. A solid buy.
Set off on a thrilling 3D adventure that takes you to places the Pokémon franchise has never gone before. Pokémon X travels to the breathtaking land of Kalos, a star-shaped, enchanting region brimming with stunning forests, buzzing cities and many brand-new Pokémon. Gaze upon the wonder of the iconic tower in the center of Lumiose City, as you battle, catch and add to your Pokédex an array of new Pokémon that join the 640 you've already encountered. The Trainer is only as good as his Pokémon, so get ready to fight for glory with the powerful new creatures at your fingertips in Pokémon X.Meet Helioptile, a Normal- and Electric-type Pokémon who can generate powerful electricity from sun-bathing to power machinery. While it may display a lack of bravery, its robust Parabolic Charge move makes up for it when Helioptile attacks everything around it. Its HP is restored by half the damage taken by those hit for a significant addition to your Pokédex. Fletchling, a Normal- and Flying-type Pokémon, may take adversaries by surprise, since behind its beautiful chirp and friendly personality lies relentless battle attacks, such as Flame Charge. In addition to doing damage, Fletchling's speed increases every time it unleashes this move. Normally sporting a leaf in its mouth and an intimidating glare, Fighting-type Pokémon Pancham shows its softer side and lets out a smile when you pat its head. During battle, however, Pancham lets loose daunting moves, including Parting Shot, which not only lowers an opponent's Attack and Special Attack, but also allows Pancham to switch out for another Pokémon in a Trainer's party during battle. Discover a new method of transportation with Gogoat, a large Grass-type Pokémon who will gladly let you ride its back around Lumiose City. In battle, its Horn Leech move recovers HP equal to half the damage dealt by its move. With so much to explore and so many new Pokémon to acquire, you're sure to happily spend hours lost within the world of Pokémon X.

The 6th generation of Pokemon has relatively few additions to the number of new Pokemon, but it makes up for it in its streamlined gameplay and its enhanced visuals. It has a healthy dose of nostalgia for returning players, an easier learning curve for new players, and mega evolutions for the experts. All in all, a great addition to the franchise that has a little something for everyone.
