Once the sounds of taxi cabs, buses, people on cell phones and advertisements permeated every sonic fiber of our senses. Now only deafening silence rules the airwaves. Yet it's what hides in the silence that could be the deadliest. Following the same formula as the original, Wasteland 2 plunges you into a hellish landscape with the same core gameplay, but modernizes it with stunning visuals and a thrilling storyline. Make the tough decisions, which come with both short- and long-term consequences that will affect the outcome of the story. Engage in tactical turn-based combat that puts your strategy skills to the test. With this Director's Cut, you'll receive the definitive Wasteland 2 experience with enhanced visuals, expanded voiceovers and more. It's time for you to make your mark on the Wasteland — or die trying.

Cumbersome, boring, slow
on July 10, 2016
Posted by: rodericrinehart
I had high hopes for this game, but it just fell flat. It is cumbersome, not explained well, dense, and overall not a fun experience. This is a love letter to old CRPG fans, and I can assure modern gamers of action adventures and ARPGs that they will not enjoy this game.

What would you sacrifice to stay on the cutting edge of technology? A month's pay? A lifetime's savings? Your digital privacy? What about your very identity? Welcome to Neo-Paris. The year is 2084. Big business has yielded to a new global force — big surveillance. Hungry for a new market, the world's innovators have pioneered a yet-untapped resource — our memories. Our darkest secrets, most intimate moments, the very fibers of our core are now cold commodities. They're digitized, bought, sold and traded at the whim of society's overarching authorities. But like any other product, they can also be stolen. Henceforth arose the memory hunters. These master mind hackers raid, snatch and even alter the memories of unsuspecting souls, rippling the tides of fate in unforeseen ways. But what happens when the mind of the most-wanted memory hunter is wiped? Could she steal back the pieces of her shattered past — or will she forever forget?Your name is Nilin — though you've forgotten that by now. Once a great thief of memories, you've been robbed of those of your own — at the hands of the omnipotent authorities who govern the mental realm. You've managed to escape from your jail cell, but now live in the prison of your clouded mind. Now, with only one last friend on whom to rely, you're faced with a choice — re-learn your past skills and steal back the fragments of your identity, or fall prey to the creators of a dangerous surveillance state. An original, all-too-believable vision of the future, Remember Me immerses you in a Paris transformed by memory digitization and authoritarian rule. As Nilin, you'll master the power to break into people's minds and recover clues to your own past. You become the hunted as powerful foes stalk you throughout the Neo-Paris streets, but rediscover your martial arts training, and you'll become a potent force to be reckoned with. Groundbreaking new gameplay mechanics including the Memory Remix, which gives you the unprecedented abilities to impact the future in real time. Construct combo attacks from scratch with Combo Lab, which gives you the platform to customize your fighting style, and includes all three unique pressen fighting moves, plus the exclusive dragon punch, spinning kick, and flash kick moves. The ultimate coup awaits your lead — if you can only Remember.

Dystopian Batman + Life Is Strange + Assassin's Cr
on July 10, 2016
Posted by: rodericrinehart
This was a fun game overall, with a very interesting story, and mostly enjoyable gameplay. It is part Batman combat, part Assassin's Creed parkour, part Life Is Strange rewind mechanic, and part sci-fi dystopian novel. The parts mostly come together and you can definitely see how Dontnod took the rewind mechanic and improved upon it in Life Is Strange. Still a fun game and solid dystopian story. Definitely worthy of your purchase and play on a sale.

No one could possibly imagine that the chaos of today was just the beginning, the start to the dark danger of tomorrow. Who could predict that the terrible pillaging done by the Nilfgaardian Empire, the ravaging of the Northern Kingdoms and the uncertainty of these restless, miserable times are mere child's play compared to the otherworldly threat that looms closer than ever? Don the sword of Geralt of Rivia once again — but this time, the rise and fall of monarchs and battles with legendary monsters are nearly fond memories compared to the danger you now face. This time, that which matters most and those dearest to your heart are in peril. It's time to embark on your most personal quest yet to save your loved ones and protect the world from an ancient threat.Wrap yourself in a character-driven, open world based upon Andrzej Sapkowski's seven-book series — a world that teems with life, nonscripted events, unforgettable quests and action-packed adventure. Play as Witcher Geralt of Rivia, a highly skilled monster hunter, as you become immersed in the mature storyline, where every choice you make is meaningful and consequential. As you freely traverse each varied land on foot, on horseback or by boat, you'll experience different ecosystems, unique cultures and diverse atmospheres. Every decision you make along the way not only impacts your storyline, but affects the world around you — deep interactive environments that depend on your actions. Experience a jaw-dropping combat system that combines real-time player skills with RPG mechanics rooted in character development stats that interact with advanced opponent AI. More than 90 combat animations, a wide range of tactical options, an intensely detailed Witcher Senses system and combat with unique and dynamic enemies create an amazingly complex battle experience that mimics the sequence of a true huntsman. Concoct potions, elixirs, pyrotechnic devices and more with a highly intuitive Alchemy system, and create items from advanced crafting mechanics that have more influence on gameplay than ever before. This classic, dark fantasy tale not only provides you with an immersive gameplay experience, but also offers stunning RED Engine-powered graphics and untold freedom that truly transports you from your living room to a breathtaking, cinematic Witcher world.

I have never played a better game in my life. It was stunning graphics, riveting story, excellent choice and effects of your choices, smooth and brilliant combat, superb quest design, and fun from start to finish at easily over 100 hours.

Go back to the beginning in this reimagined version of Ratchet & Clank for the PlayStation 4. Its deepened origin story is revealed through over an hour of cinematic movie sequences, and the new planets, game play and boss battles keep the experience fresh. Protect the Solana Galaxy again with the robust arsenal of weapons in Ratchet & Clank.

Gorgeous graphics, excellent co-op gameplay
on July 10, 2016
Posted by: rodericrinehart
I love games I can play co-op with my daughter, and Yoshi was a great addition to that club, like Mario 3D World, Rayman, Kirby. The game was super cute, has excellent gameplay, gorgeous graphics, allowed us to use almost all of our 50 amiibo as Yoshi costumes, and has plenty of challenge after you beat it.

Excellent game, better than Awakening
on July 10, 2016
Posted by: rodericrinehart
Fire Emblem is definitely one of my top 5 franchises ever, and I think superior to XCOM as the best turn-based tactical strategy game, and with far better story and character development on top of better tactics. Birthright is the easier of the 3 Fire Emblem Fates, but it is still definitely worthy of your purchase and time. It expands and improves on everything in Awakening and keeps all the good stuff, exactly what a sequel in a long-running game series should do. I really hope they make amiibo for the top 5-6 characters from the trilogy. I would buy them all!

More of the same, now with less bugs
on January 30, 2016
Posted by: rodericrinehart
Syndicate is a big improvement from Unity, but that was one of the buggiest pieces of you know what in recent memory. It follows the tried-and-true formula you know so well. It isn't buggy and it doesn't have multiplayer, so that is good, but even as a fan of the series who only buys them for discount prices well after release, it is still growing tiresome. It is fun, but disposable fun, and you already know if you like these games or not most likely. I didn't like the skill tree and how it maxes out no matter what by the end of the game - it's kind of like how Fallout 4 dumbed down it's RPG elements.

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?

A buggy mess to be avoided
on January 30, 2016

If it is ten bucks or less then it might be worth it now that it is patched up if you like the series. Otherwise, play Black Flag or Syndicate for a far better experience.

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.

Fun pirate game in Assassin's Creed skin
on January 30, 2016
Posted by: rodericrinehart
A fun action-movie romp, with too much focus in the animus, and honestly, a pirate game in an Assassin's Creed skin. Doesn't really utilize the power of the PS4 due to being on all the old consoles.

THIS 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

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.
