Skip For Honor for New AC
on December 4, 2017
Posted by: JRod
from Folsom, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Much of the visceral mechanics from For Honor, the February 2017 Ubisoft release, transferred over to AC: Origins masterfully. Instead in AC, you have a storyline, much more places to explore, and different customizable player options. In other words, you get a better, more complete game. On the Xbox One X, graphics and picture quality dazzle the eyes. A true visual spectacle.

Better than Expected

Verified Purchase:Yes
So, if you are a fan of Sci-fi and action and Stephen King-esque scripts, this film will surely fit your tastes. Critics these days pontificate on how they would like to see movies, but subsequently forget to acknowledge whether or not they were entertained. It has to be more of an experience to them. This movie is great and I was entertained from start to
Finish.

A Dynasty Reinvented
on November 5, 2017

from Folsom, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Out of all the Mario’s out there, this one is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Every time I pick up the controller, I am amazed at how Nintendo is able to make such inventive games with an often similar storyline to be one of the games out there on the market. The plethora of objects one can possess is sensational. I was a bird. I was a caterpillar. I was even light on an electric line. Truly outstanding and that makes two homeruns on the Switch now. One being this, and the other being Zelda: Breath Of The Wild.

A New Look
on August 4, 2017
Posted by: JRod
from Folsom, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The amazing storyline of it's predecessor holds this movie to a level of art that is unparalleled to most other movies in this genre. The only other Japanese art film I can compare it to is Akira. The CG animation really gets you thinking, "Is this what our future cities will look like?" Probably so. The movie moves with an unrelenting pace which slaps you every five minutes just to make sure your still paying attention.

Ink-splatting action is back and fresher than everThe squid kids called Inklings are back to splat more ink and claim more turf in this colorful and chaotic 4-on-4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go with the Nintendo Switch™ system, and use any of the console’s portable play styles for intense local multiplayer* action. Even team up for new 4-player co-op fun in Salmon Run!Expect a fresh wave of fashion, not to mention new weapons and gear. Dual wield the new Splat Dualies or stick to mainstays like chargers and rollers, which have been remixed with new strategic possibilities. As always, Turf War is the favored sport among Inklings, but they also dig ranked battles, taking down Octarians in a robust single-player campaign, and battling enemy Salmonids in one dangerous part-time job! No matter which way you play, splat at home or on-the-go with Nintendo Switch. Staying fresh never felt so good.*Additional games and systems required for multiplayer mode. Sold separately.**Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and Nintendo Account required for online play. This game does not support Save Data Cloud backup. Not available in all countries.

Splat goes the Dynamite
on August 4, 2017
Posted by: JRod
from Folsom, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Splatoon 2 offers something most video games cannot - a robust set of customs that is unlike any other game on the market. Instead of having a simple 3rd person shooter style of game, Nintendo opted to add competitive multiplayer with hints of painting the town to gain control of points, plots, and maps.
The fact that the sequel is on Switch makes it all the better. We are finally able to not only be portable, but we are also able to have a quality game experience on a TV set. My reason for not giving it a 5 is because it's nowhere near the type of game as Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That is a high bar and for what this is its amazing.

Peter Jackson's Film Away from Middle Earth
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: JRod
from Folsom, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
In my opinion, I enjoyed King: Skull Island more. The acting here may be better, but the cast in Kong: Skull Island killed it especially John C. Reily.
This film is just insanely long; however, one does not realize this throughout the film because the pacing is done in an effective way.
The 4K quality is good. The level of detail on Kong himself is fantastic. 13 years after its release date the film still looks brillaint.

Fate is Great
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: JRod
from Folsom, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Man, how did we get here? Eight movies later and the first installment without Paul Walker surely would have turned some dedicated fans off, but with smart writing and action scenes only found in the Fast & Furious Franchise this movie is better than I anticipated.
The 4K quality on the sets is amazing if your HDR provides a gamut of color variety. Usually if you have a 4K tv these days the HDR feature is standard. Overall though, the 4K quality still should have been a little bit better. Although it was still exhuberant and eye-catching, Fate still should have looked better.

Great Villain = Great Film
on July 21, 2017
Posted by: JRod
from Folsom, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's movie like these that remind us why we love them in the first place. Jean Reno empathizes for Natalie Portman's character in a way you don't see too much in Hollywood. How can a professional hitman empathize the way he does? This film should get standing ovations if it is ever re-released on the big screen again. That's how good it is, and the 4K quality makes it seem like your watching a movie that is far less old than it actually is. The colors catch the eye much more sharply and vividly.

Simply Fun

Smart, witty, and crass is Will Arnet's hilarious rendition of Batman. What I enjoyed most of this film is that it delivered no-stop laughs at no One's expense. In other words, it was hysterical without any crude language or the use of deragatory remarks.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is an upcoming action role-playing third-person shooter video game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Although it shares the universe of the original trilogy, the title is considered a game derived, not the fourth episode of the saga.

A much better than expected game with powerful voice acting and great gunplay mechanics. Don't listen to all those reviews out there that are super critical. You are playing a storied franchise that is paving a new road for their gamers.
