Paris 1789 — the once-hub of cultural and intellectual activity has been thrown into bloody chaos in the midst of the tense French Revolution. Commoners have become tired of the oppressive regime of the aristocrats and have finally gathered the courage to confront the hierarchy with the pangs of the present inequality. As the nation of France tears apart at the seams, splitting into different factions, a young man named Arno sets off on a journey to reveal the true powers behind the Revolution. In the process of seeking the truth, Arno must face a ruthless struggle as he seeks to carve out a new destiny for the nation he holds dear.From the storming of the Bastille to the execution of King Louis XVI, experience the French Revolution in all its remarkable, gory detail as never before in Assassin's Creed: Unity. With an all-new game engine, Revolutionary Paris is rendered in incredibly realistic detail, letting you freely explore the open world of 18th century Paris. Navigate your way through complex building interiors, discover secret catacombs and slink through sewer systems. Featuring realistic, systemic crowds of up to 5,000 AI-driven characters, you'll feel as if you're truly in the throngs of the city. Play as Arno — a developing Master Assassin — embarking on ancestral missions, treasure hunts, murder mysteries, contracts and other heart-pounding adventures. Eliminate enemy threats with a wide range of new weapons, including the Phantom Blade, which combines a hidden blade with crossbow capabilities for ultimate devastation. Utilize full-motion control with parkour mechanics, so you can freely run up, down and across city walls and buildings. Want to remain discreet? Enhanced stealth gameplay makes it easy to stay hidden as you stalk your prey and strike without warning. Customize your play experience by choosing from hundreds of possible combinations of weapons, gear, outfits and specialized skills. Take part in an epic single-player campaign or join up with 3 friends online. You and your lethal band must rely on communication skills to successfully accomplish a slew of missions — sabotage an execution, protect an emperor, assassinate a Templar agent and more. Do you have the skills needed to reverse the fate of an entire city?

Great hard drive. I needed an upgrade for my PS4 hard drive as I was quickly running out of space. Opened this case, and put on my PS4. Followed the usual hard drive replacement steps and it's working great! Now I have 1.5TB more space compared to what the PS4 brought originally.

You are Talion, Ranger of the Black Gate. For what seems like eons, you have guarded the entrance to Mordor, keeping watch over Sauron's undisturbed dwelling place with relative uneventfulness. But in the blink of an eye, everything you hold dear is snatched from your grasp. Your family, your friends — even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief — vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land — the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron's return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player's actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

Have you ever asked yourself what our world would be like if history had unfolded differently? Have you ever wondered what would happen if one link in the chain of events was reversed? What if, for example, the Nazis had won World War II? The answer is that the face of this planet would be forever changed, irrevocably damaged. The year is 1960 and the worst has happened. The Nazis turned the tide of World War II in their favor with a new, mysterious brand of advanced weaponry that, along with unrelenting force and intimidation, brought even the most powerful nations to their knees. Who among this conquered planet has the courage to stand up to the merciless regime? What man has the guts and the skills to save the world from the grip of this iron fist? You are B.J. Blazkowicz, American war hero, and you are the only man capable of rewriting history. Only you can save us all.Launch the most daring counter-offensive in history in Wolfenstein: The New Order, a game that puts you up against oversize Nazi robots, hulking Super Soldiers and elite shock troops in intense first-person combat. Break into hidden research facilities and heavily guarded weapons stashes to find out where the Nazi's advanced technology came from, and level the playing field by upgrading your own tools of destruction with what you find. From mountaintop car chases to underwater exploration, Wolfenstein: The New Order cultivates an unbelievably exhilarating adventure with high-octane action and an immersive game narrative, created by a group of seasoned developers at MachineGames and rendered in stunning detail with the id Tech 5 engine. So if you think you have the heart and the daring of a hero, go up against this terrifying Nazi regime and restore history to its rightful place.

All it takes is the swipe of a finger. We connect with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and gear. We find out what's happening in the world. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an increasingly expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it's not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems. In Watch Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (CTOS) — and it controls almost every piece of the city's technology and holds key information on all of the city's residents.Prima Games' official strategy guide to Watch Dogs acts as a useful companion while you explore and navigate the game.

I am really enjoying this guide. It follows the game well and it's very helpful if you enjoy completing the game to 100%. I know you can get a lot of this information online, but having the physical guide can't compare. It is very thick with a lot of information and the extra pages exclusive to the collectors edition guide is great for any collector.

Excellent game, limited edition is superb!

I was a bit hesitant with this game after reading some of the reviews comparing it to GTA V, but once I opened up my collectors edition I was completely satisfied. The statue looks great for my collection, as well as the steelbook, art book and mask. You can't go wrong with this collectors edition.
In regards to the game, I am loving it. The open world aspect is there and you can easily get distracted, but if you want to stick to just the campaign you can do that as well. The graphics and overall quality of this game is great. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a new open world, high action game.

A City teetering on the edge of a bloody revolution. An oppressive regime subsisting on the rising tide of fear. An extraordinarily skilled thief lies in the shadows during this uncertain and troubled time, thwarting even the most cautious citizens out of their best-guarded possessions. But as the uprising, led by Orion, voice-of-the-people, begins to emerge, Master Thief Garrett finds himself entangled in the ever-tightening knot of conflict. The Baron's Watch refuses to ease their stringent regime, and Garrett's abilities may be the only thing that will prevent the streets from running red with the blood of the people. Will you redefine your role as Thief to save the City from a devastating fate?Slip into the silent shoes of the dark and solitary Master Thief and sneak through the City unnoticed and unsanctioned. Unmatched stealth skills make child's play out of the most challenging heists and place the most inaccessible loots within your reach as you infiltrate luxurious mansions and relieve the residents of their valuables. Explore the sick and suffering City, from the shady back alleys to the highest rooftops, and decide what kind of thief you are. Whether you choose stealth or force, you are well-equipped to get the job done — choose force and leverage Garrett's arsenal and eliminate guards with your blackjack, or shoot one of the many arrow types. Choose stealth and manipulate your environment to outsmart your enemies with newly acquired focus abilities. Either way, you'll find yourself deeply immersed in the game's unprecedented sights, sounds and artificial intelligence, made possible by groundbreaking visual elements. Thief represents a truly tactile and visceral first-person experience and the amazing power of your next-generation console. The time has come to decide your role in the revolution.

It is 1715. Pirates rule the Caribbean and have established a lawless pirate republic. Among these outlaws is a fearsome young captain named Edward Kenway. His exploits earn the respect of pirate legends like Blackbeard, but draw him into an ancient war that may destroy everything the pirates have built.
