This isn't a perfect game, but it is a good return to form for Hitman. I was not a fan of the episodic release and only got it once they were all out, and for a big sale price. It's worth it on sale and it was fun.

I'm giving this a 10 because it is an incredible game with great replayability, superb graphics, and a good story. It isn't perfect, but it definitely is between a 9 and a 10. Improves in every way on Human Revolution, which I also loved. SO MANY WAYS TO SOLVE EACH PUZZLE. And this time, you truly can do a nonlethal and stealth playthrough. It was so satisfying and the game really stick with me. It has better controls and graphics than Dishonored 2, but not quite as good of world-building.

Replayability and level design are excellent
on January 1, 2017
Posted by: rodericrinehart
One of the most exquisite world-building exercises ever. Each level is varied and crafted, offering multiple ways to solve or escape or kill your way out. This and Deus Ex Mankind Divided were both such amazing open worlds. I enjoyed Mankind Divided's graphics and controls better, but Dishonored 2 had the better levels and world building. Both amazing.

After discovering an ancient mystery, Lara Croft must travel through Siberia in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Outstanding action, beautiful environments, guerrilla warfare and incredible tombs are all yours for the taking in this third person adventure. Outthink the Trinity and hone your survival skills in Rise of the Tomb Raider.

I absolutely enjoyed the Tomb Raider reboot from a few years ago. Amazing graphics, nice levels, great gameplay. This improves on that first game in every way. More varied design, even better graphics to push your machine, and better story. This game is just flat out fun and just a nice romp all the way to the end.

Just boring, repetitive, and not a good Far Cry ga
on January 1, 2017
Posted by: rodericrinehart
It takes everything Far Cry and dumbs it down or takes it away. It was just freaking boring through and through. It might be worth ten bucks sale price just for a quick play through if you really like the genre. Much better games to spend your time and money on.

Comfy for 4-hour raids, great mic, built well
on September 23, 2016
Posted by: rodericrinehart
My main expectations for a great headset - (1) comfort for 4+ hour sessions, like a World of Warcraft raid; (2) a great mic; and (3) overall build quality.
These met all my expectations and I absolutely love them. The comfort is just next-level. AND THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH GLASSES!

Excellent philosophy, lots to think about, hard
on July 10, 2016
Posted by: rodericrinehart
SCORE: 7.5/10 (but this is very tough to give a comprehensive score)
The story is amazing - it would make an excellent movie. The graphics are great. The limited voiced dialogue and music are great. The gameplay and puzzles are good - but they are too repetitive and the red ones are definitely too hard. The star ones (not needed to beat game) are just ridiculously hard. Half the red ones (which are needed to beat the game) will need a guide for the vast majority of gamers, plain and simple.
I would have preferred much more of the dialogue with the Library Assistant AI and reading much more of the fragments left in the virtual library and half as many puzzles.
The questions it makes you consider are on the level of the best sci-fi novels and games, with parts of The Matrix, Philip K. Dick, Soma, I Robot, and many more. What does it mean to be alive? To be conscious? What is good? Great stuff here.
But many of the red puzzles were just too frustrating and I hated them.

In the golden age of the 1950s, the American Dream seems closer for some than for others. Vito, the son of a poor Italian immigrant, longs to throw off the shackles of poverty that have held him down his entire life. Already well practiced in petty crime, he begins to aspire to a higher criminal art: organized crime. Lured by the wealth and power that come with Mob ties, Vito and his childhood friend Joe will find themselves spiraling ever deeper into the hold of the Mafia as they struggle to make their names in the streets of an unforgiving city — or die trying.Mafia II thrusts you into a world bullet-riddled with violence and intrigue. In this follow-up to the intense Mafia, the dark and unforgiving world of the Mob comes alive with gangster movie-style narrative power. Claw your way to the top of the criminal underworld as you engage in stunning car-to-car gunfights, white-knuckled hand-to-hand combat and intense gunplay. With a script from the writing team of the original Mafia and a soundtrack rich with music that evokes the game's 1950s setting, Mafia II immerses you fully in the Mob experience in all its brutality and inescapability.

This is obviously a GTA clone, and it hits a lot of the same beats. The gameplay is not as good as GTA 5 and the graphics by today's standards are ok at best. The controls are fine but not as tight as I would like. The story is pretty solid, but there is way too much pointless driving. Recommend on a sale.

Fun game, but Bethesda's formula has grown stale.
on July 10, 2016
Posted by: rodericrinehart
Fallout 4 is a step back from Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and really shows that Bethesda has failed to innovate much in terms of their game engine, graphics, or gameplay. What they do is pretty cool, but it is becoming stale. And in the wake of The Witcher 3, the bad story and lack of any meaningful choices is made that much more glaring. That said, I had fun, but this could have been so much more, and I genuinely hope that Bethesda will learn from their mistakes - instead of just swimming in their cash - and deliver the next Elder Scrolls game with upgrades and improvements across the board.

1 out of 5THIS IS NOT A LAPTOP, THIS IS A GOOGLE APPS HOLDER
By LaptopSeeker
First off, if I search for a laptop, Chromebooks should not be included. This is not what the typical Joe is looking for when they search for a laptop. Anyone that will be satisfied with a Chromebook will search for a Chromebook.
So when I purchased this so I could do some urgent work on the go, only to realize once it was already too late that this piece of plastic does not operate any Microsoft applications, it was extremely annoying.
Moreover, when I tried to use MS Online or QuickBooks Online, it would keep prompting me to install the latest version of Chrome. When I tried doing that, it would tell me I have the latest version of Chrome installed. You could only imagine the frustration...
Do not waste your time on this unless you are specifically looking for a Chromebook. In that case, its a nice and sleek device, but not worth the price tag even then.

Chromebooks are laptops, better for 90% of people
July 28, 2016
I use them for personal, work, and school - and it is speedier than Windows for everything. It is a laptop, and thankfully doesn't run Windows.
