It's been 15 years since the events of Alien and the facts surrounding your mother's disappearance still remain a mystery. You've been forced to grow a thick skin since then, making your way carefully through an increasingly volatile world. You've had to deal with numerous confrontations with a frenzied population whose eyes belie animalistic fear and dread. But most of all you've had to devote your intelligence and skills to evading the Alien — a predatory monster who is constantly on your trail. Despite all of these obstacles and hazards to your life, you're still determined to complete your mission and unravel the truth behind your mother's vanishing.Set off on a desperate battle for survival and truth as Amanda, Ellen Ripley's daughter, as you navigate through Sevastopol, a decommissioned trading station located on the fringes of space. Meet a diverse cast of characters who have been shaped by a constant atmosphere of fear and mortal danger. Use your wits to find necessary resources, hack systems and craft items to deal with each unique situation. Escape the clutches of a dynamic, reactive Alien who hunts you mercilessly. Do you have what it takes to survive in Alien: Isolation?

An 'Alien' fans wet dream... From the second you start the game it really does feel like you are playing out the movie, with spot on design that makes you want to explore and look at things just for the sake of seeing how many times you get that feeling of nostalgia when you see an item you remember from the movie. The story is great, and about as believable as it's going to get without being too over the top or skewing from the story line the movies have already set in stone. The only complaints I have about the game is that it can be buggy at times (like when the alien is feet away and looking right at you, but then suddenly turns away like it forgot you were there), but that is easily overlooked since it is rare. Second complaint would be that it can be very difficult at times, not because of the alien, but because of the amount of 'Working Joe' synthetic bots you have to sneak around or fight. The game is great at creating that tension and fear that you felt the first time watching 'Alien', but it does get put to a halt when you realize you have to sneak around a Joe for the 50th time. Other than that, the game is perfect. If you are playing with a good sound system or a decent set of headphones then there isn't a doubt that you will be suffering from sweaty palms throughout this entire game as you hear the alien crawling in the vents above you just as you were about to take out another crazed survivor. The story mode of this game is a total winner and the 'survivor' mode can be fun but turns into nothing more than a 'try to get lucky' sprint to the finish line to get a top time on the leader boards. The little replay value and few bugs (at this point) are the only reason this game is not getting a perfect rating. If developers were to somehow work co-op or even a counter-op multiplayer in some way this game would get an 11 out of 10.

Everything changed with the arrival of the Traveler. It sparked a Golden Age when our civilization spanned our solar system, but it didn't last. Something hit us, knocked us down. The survivors built a city beneath the Traveler, and have begun to explore our old worlds, only to find them filled with deadly foes.You are a Guardian of the last safe city on Earth, able to wield incredible power. Defend the City. Defeat our enemies. Reclaim all that we have lost.

A game that is all show that brags about it's user customization (which it really doesn't have, since you have no choice but to wear the better armor you earn, yet you don't choose how it looks) as well as having little to no story/plot which is made up of the same 'copy/paste' missions over and over. I must say I dove in and absolutely loved this game, at first. The multiplayer (crucible) is very fun and competitive, nearly seeming unfair at times, but is exactly what makes you want to earn more and keep playing. The ability to co-op with friends through the campaign is amazing, until you find out the story isn't there at all, in fact, I would say this game doesn't even have a real ending... THAT IS UNTIL you fork out more money for the DLC. This game is such a cash-cow and you can tell they are going to be milking the players of their money for the next 10 years of planned DLC add-on's. The fact that you don't even get an ending to the campaign is a sure sign that you are going to be paying for this game several times over again if you want to learn of your true 'destiny'. I would have expected this from Activision, but never Bungie. In short; if you are in the game for pure multiplayer, than it's the game for you, but if you would like a story with this then you'll have to look somewhere else. They never even explain the different races of enemies as they come along or why you are even fighting them; its just the same copy and past missions over and over that most of the time involve you defending something against horde style waves. Anyway, be prepared to pay for this game several times over again (since every DLC is averaging $15) over the span of their 10 year plan for more and more content.

Cooks food perfectly without even having to try!

Nothing can be easier that making great food just the way you want it with this grill. I literally cooked pieces of totally frozen steak and fish (which would never go well on any other electric grill) with this and they turned out perfectly! The gauge of rareness is a big relief as well for people like me who are paranoid about how under cooked or too rare their cuts or meat may be. I highly recommend this to all indoor grillers, but even more so those who hate having to keep an careful on food since the chimes the grill produces at each stage of 'rareness' make it easy to work on other things in the kitchen at the same time.

Rock out to your favorite songs with these Beats Beats Studio Wireless 900-00183-01 headphones that feature a Beats Acoustic Engine and DSP software for enhanced clarity. ANC (Adaptive Noise Cancellation) allows you to focus on your tunes.
Posted by: Beltway

How Often Used:Daily
These headphones are great, but not for the price... at all. Somehow these things picked up some name recognition and that is really all you are buying, a $400 'B' on the side of some par headphones. The noise cancellation is great because all you can hear is the music and they are quite comfortable. However, for spending nearly $400 you get what Turtle Beach offers so much more for 1/2 the price. Yes, they might be geared towards gamers, but are amazing for music and movies. I actually owned my Beats by Dre set for a short time but then returned them quickly only to give Turtle Beach my money. Along with the lower price, Turtle Beach offers true 7.1 surround sound, customizable equalization settings, longer battery life (in the wireless units) and they don't feel like they are going to break when you hold them.

Recharge your Xbox 360 controllers quickly for continued intense gaming with the help of this stylish and sophisticated charging dock. Designed to accommodate two wireless controllers, the rapid recharge base features a convenient drop-in design and plugs into a wall outlet to provide an even faster charge than via USB. Two included custom NiMH rechargeable batteries provide you with up to 25 hours of gaming time per charge, and helpful LED charge indicators let you know when your controllers are ready for action.

When I first bought the charger it was amazing, did exactly what it was supposed to do and it did it quick. It only after about a year that I noticed the battery life after each charge would get dramatically shorter. Now, just after a year of owning, a full charge on the base will get a few hours of gaming (both batteries) before it needs to go back on the charger which seems to only attempt to charge the batteries for just a few minutes before thinking its finished (both slots). So, the charging unit itself it amazing and does just what it says, just don't expect included batteries to last beyond about a year. Replacement batteries (2 pack) cost around $20, so end up spending 3/4 of the price of the unit just for replacement batteries.

What's great about it: EASE OF USE, QUICK CHARGE TIME, EASY TO UNDERSTAND CHARGE STATUS
What's not so great: LIFESPAN

By SwoopG

Just like when Halo came out years ago, this game is the future of gaming. the multiple worlds of Destiny are enormous. and the ability to play games with friends is remarkable. the only reason i'm buying the new XBOX ONE console is so i can play this game Destiny and enjoy it to its fullest potential. This game is hard to compare to any game that is currently out today, its like a whole new genre of gaming.

For the amound of content this collection has it is definitely worth the money. Not only do you get to play a remastered version of Halo 2, but you get to enjoy every single games original multiplayer experience to it's fullest. All maps ever released for the series and even a couple extras thrown in. What more could a fan ask for. :3

If you are a gamer, this is a must buy video game. Even if you are not familiar with the franchise, this is your opportunity to get to know it and get to love it.
Halo is by far my favorite video game franchise. It is the game that got me to buy the first Xbox and the game I love the most.

The art of war may be thousands of years old, but on the battlegrounds of the future combat has become a big business. Where men and women once stood in defense of their nation the employees of Private Military Corporations (PMCs) are deployed, armed with the latest technologies and an arsenal of advanced weapons. Soldiers no longer need to specialize in any area of combat — equipped with powerful exoskeletons, they become the masters of all battlefield skills. In this new age of privatized combat, one PMC stands at the forefront of the industry, the juggernaut Atlas Corporation. Founded and led by Jonathan Irons, perhaps the most powerful man in the world, Atlas Corporation represents the evolution of modern combat. Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders. Do you have what it takes to navigate this ever-changing military landscape and answer the Call of Duty?The latest installment in the popular combat series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare plunges you into the combat of the future, orchestrated and fought by PMCs with the latest technology in armor, weaponry and tactics. Enter the world of Jonathan Irons — the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation — in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility. Attack enemy forces with tried-and-true standard ammunition or step up your assault with new directed-energy weapons. The future of war is upon you — are you ready to play your part?

Get a piece of the action in Battlefield Hardline, a fresh, new take on Battlefield that allows you to live out your cops and criminal fantasy. Combining an emotionally driven single-player story inspired by popular TV crime dramas, and an all-out-war multiplayer on the streets of Los Angeles and Miami, Hardline delivers the most complete FPS on the market.

1) It should be 'YOU'RE kidding right?'
2) Pretty sad that you are arguing over a game that hasn't even been released yet, and if you have played the beta, it really only involved a single map.

Can you replace the USB breakaway cable?
I got this used Xbox 360 controller(wired) and when I plugged it in, it would only work if I put the cable in a specific position. Any place where I can find this part?
I would recommend contacting the manufacturer of the controller for a chance to get a free parts, otherwise you can find odd parts like that on E-Bay but at that point its likely going to cost a much as a new controller.

Trade in
Can I trade in game systems, like my Xbox Kinect to get the Xbox one. How much will my Kinect be worth?
Not at Best Buy; they only take software (games) but not hardware (console and accessories). You could though do it as a used game shop like GameStop or others like it. Being the Kinect goes for $100 now (new) I would bet you could get around $30 for the device.

where can i find those external storage and how much is it for.???
Microsoft actually sells their own external storage unit, but can be a little pricey compared to standard brands. I recommend using a high capacity USB drive for you saves, installs and downloads. Otherwise, a lot of name brand plug-and-play external drives will work just fine. Last resort would be to visit a used game store (GameStop) and just buy a higher capacity internal hard drive for you XBOX 360, they are very easy to replace.

What guitar do I get for xbox 360 rocksmith?
I need to know what guitar to purchase that is compatible with x-box 360 Rocksmith.
As long as you have the adapter, it is compatible with any guitar that has an amplifier output. My suggestion would be to borrow the guitar of a friend (because we all have one with a guitar) that would work and use that for learning purposes. Once you get using a guitar down go out and buy one based on the passion that you've built playing the game.

This game was only for the PS2 and original XBOX, being it came out in November 2004. It's possible that it is a backwards compatible title, but since no larger retail stores sell outdated games, you would have to either visit a used game store (GameStop) or find a cheap copy on Amazon.
