Talk and text on this Motorola Moto G Plus phone. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon processor ensures your apps run smoothly and quickly, and its TurboPower technology provides up to 6 hours of battery life on a 15-minute charge. This Motorola Moto G Plus phone is unlocked for use with most U.S. carriers.
This phone is a great value in a world where phones are approaching $1000. For the price of one high end phone, you can get this phone for each member of your family, and for 99% of the population, outside of the camera, there will be no appreciable difference in performance between this phone and one that costs a month's rent.
Pros: Close to stock Android aside from the addition of the very useful Moto Actions. With 64 GB of onboard storage and microSD support, you will rarely be required to manage files on the phone due to insufficient storage. 4 Gb of RAM will let you multitask with a ton of apps without worrying about the phone slowing down. The processor has an incredible compromise between power and energy efficiency; the phone lasts about 9 hours of screen on time with internet browsing on mobile data. The Moto Actions let you use the fingerprint sensor to navigate your phone, freeing up some of the screen space usually dedicated to those buttons. Its loudspeaker is front facing instead of on the bottom or worse, on the back.
Cons: The screen to body ratio is on the lower side; there are some phones with larger screens with similar body sizes. This phone lacks NFC, which is used for things like Android Pay. The camera is unimpressive.

There are tons of moons in the game. Many are easily accessible so young kids can progress through the game with struggling too much. For more experienced gamers who want a challenge, there are many harder to reach moons that are required to 100% complete the game. Co-op allows one player to control Mario and the other to control Cappy, Mario's companion who allows Mario to take control of various enemies including T-rexes or tanks each of which necessary to solve the many puzzles in the game.

It holds files, somewhere around 32 GBs worth. With USB 3.0, it has better transfer speeds than the more common USB 2.0. It has a sliding form factor, which helps protect the part that plugs into the port on the computer while not being at risk of losing the cap.

As of writing this, a typical sale price for a 32 GB flash drive is in the neighborhood of $8-$15. The list price for this is $35 which isn't worth it considering the frequency of sales of various reputable brands, unless you desperately need a flash drive now and this is your only option.

This is a shooting style game where even missing your opponents or never getting into a firefight still lets you contribute to your teams victory. For the more casual but competitive gamers, there is the Turf War, where two teams compete to cover the ground with their ink color; while the game does determine a winning team and losing team, you'd have to make an effort to see your record through the mobile app, and even then, it only tracks the last 50 matches played. For the more hardcore competitive gamer, there are ranked battles, which consist of three rotating game modes; here players are assigned letter grades, letting players show off their skill levels and making sure games are more evenly fought by grouping players of similar skill. Lastly, there is the coop mode, Salmon Run; in this, teams of 4 battle against hordes of computer controlled enemies. There is a single player mode, but it serves more as an extended tutorial and training ground for practicing with various weapon types than a full fledged game mode.
Once a month, there is a Splatfest, during which time, the only competitive mode is the Turf War; every player chooses a side to decide very important debates like ice cream vs cake, and then they go head to head to support the superiority of ice cream vs the right to have questionable opinions.
For a community and multiplayer driven game, Splatoon 2 has some unfortunate design choices/limitations. There is no single console multiplayer; every player must have their own Switch and game. Playing with your friends means you have to host a private lobby, play ranked, or be okay with the potential to be on opposite teams. Voice chatting is limited to a mobile app and is not supported by the game/console itself. Salmon Run is on a schedule which means playing coop with strangers online is not always available, although it can be played locally with friends in the same room.
Ultimately, the game is fun, but it has issues that could be deal breakers for some people.
Match shape-shifting wits against friends in Puyo Puyo Tetris for the Nintendo Switch. It combines everything you love about both puzzle games, and it ups the ante with a Swap mode that lets you switch between board styles. Race against the clock or add in special items to make game play more challenging in Puyo Puyo Tetris.
It is true that the demo offers the two most important game modes. However, by purchasing the full game, you do open up additional game modes and bypass the annoying title screen that shows up after every round in the demo version.
This game is a blast to play and watch with your friends and family when everyone is at a similar skill level. Unfortunately, skill discrepancies make the game not too fun for anyone, and the online skews more towards the hardcore player than the novice. For those times when you are playing alone, the story mode is charming or you can choose to just play various challenges in the single player mode.
Try before you buy and decide if it's for you. For my household, it has filled the multiplayer role brilliantly.
