One of the 10 greatest games of all-time
on March 27, 2015
Posted by: rodericrinehart

Definitely one of the 10 greatest games of all time, and probably a fraction of a hair better than GTA V (minus the graphics). Metacritic and GameRankings have in Top 10 all platforms, all time, and it is obvious why.

Better than every Dark Souls. Best new gen game!
on March 24, 2015
Posted by: rodericrinehart
from Indiana
It's everything Dark Souls was, cranked up to 11. This is the best non-remake game on new gen yet. (The Last of Us was one of my favorite games of all time, however).
This is a system seller if there ever was one. Hard, but not in stupid ways. It challenges you to be better and you will, or you will die repeatedly.

We love this new 3DS in every way.

My daughter and I love this new 3DS. The two best features by far are the C-stick (which is WAY better than I thought it would be) and the 3D (which is light years past the old 3D).
It is snappier, I like the new layout of the buttons, and it will play new games exclusive to it (which will increase over time).

Charging into combat on the battlefield, you find yourself face-to-decaying-face with hordes of undead warriors. Dismembered body parts fly this way and that, as bullets and arrows whiz past your ears. You return their fire with all of your might, but it seems to barely dent their massive numbers. In despair, you believe you've been left for dead. Suddenly, you hear the familiar war cries of your comrades in arms. Perfectly performing all of the tactics you taught them, your soldiers join your side, cutting down zombies left and right. Together, you will stand or fall — can you lead this noble army to ultimate victory?Take command of a unique band of soldiers and guide them to glory on the battlefield in Fire Emblem: Awakening. In this brilliantly rendered fantasy adventure for the Nintendo 3DS, you have the power to turn the tides of battle in an epic war against a dark dragon. Your fire-breathing foe threatens to destroy the entire empire with help from his armies of the undead — but with your loyal crew of fighters, you just may be the one to stop him for good. Create your own customized soldier and join a massive cast of interesting characters who all have their own stories to tell. Heighten your power on the battlefield by strengthening the bonds between your troops and even enlisting a friend of your own. Plus, with StreetPass and SpotPass options, you can access exciting new items, characters and maps. The world depends on your leadership — this is your Awakening.

Turn-based strategy god of games

This is turn-based, tactical strategy at its absolute finest. You will play this game for HUNDREDS of hours ... and then replay it to experience new marriages and children on the game, and try even harder difficulty levels.
This is a true hardcore game with permadeath and serious management of strategy (marriages, children, team selection) and tactics (placement, movement, pairing up).
A truly unforgettable gaming experience.

I absolutely love my Wii U, play more than my PS4

The only next-gen console that:
1. Has backward compatibility (play all your Wii games on it)
2. Uses old Wii controllers!
3. Unique experience of the Gamepad
4. OFF-TV play (this can't be understated, play on Gamepad while people watch TV)
5. The most exclusives (Mario, Zelda, Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Kirby, Yoshi, Bayonetta, X, Donkey Kong, and more)
I will be playing may games on my Wii U and PS4 and think this will be the best gaming generation ever with those two stalwarts of gaming. The two best systems with the two best publishers.

Players have been going on daring adventures with Link for more than two decades. An instant classic, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Super NES, introduced gamers to a storyline that has been rejuvenated with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. With new features and an enhanced look, you'll love embarking on a new journey with Link.Link is setting off on another adventure in Hyrule, but this time he has some new abilities under his belt. Transform into a "drawing" and move along the walls of dungeons, so you can explore locations Link could never reach before and open up new puzzle elements for thrilling gameplay challenges. The amazing visuals and 60 frames per second transform the 2D world and enhance it with elevation and depth for an experience the reinvents the classic. The 3DS also allows more freedom with customized settings — just touch and drag items from the item window and switch them with what are assigned to the X and Y buttons.

For decades, the characters of the Super Mario Bros. franchise have been loved by fans. Their quirky abilities, hilarious backstory and unusual worlds have endeared players, solidifying a place in the annals of video game history forever. So it only makes sense that the Super Mario Bros. legacy should burst into life in 3D with the power of next-generation consoles. Experience the first multiplayer 3D Mario game for the Nintendo Wii U console and dive back into the familiar world with the characters you love, but with an array of new features and added twists.Invite your friends over to work together in the Super Mario Bros. universe or compete for the crown alone. Play as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach or Toad, and utilize each character's unique abilities and play styles that help you get ahead. Princess Peach, of course, gracefully glides over gaps, while Luigi brings back his trademark extra-high jump. Keep your enemies guessing with the new cat transformation that lets you run on all fours, pounce on foes, attack in midair and use your claws to scamper up walls and goal poles. Each aspect of the colorful 3D environments will have you feeling a combination of nostalgia and excitement, while new obstacles and contraptions, like transparent pipes and vertical conveyor belts, add new puzzle elements to keep you on the edge of your seat. Harness the power of the Wii U GamePad controller's touch screen to search for hidden blocks and freeze enemies in place. Get ready to enjoy the success of a classic in a totally new and thrilling way.

This is the epitome of Nintendo design, creativity, and graphics. It is everything a game should be. My daughter (7 yrs old) and I (36 yrs old) can easily play it together and get 95% complete. I needed to get a few oddball stars or stamps here or there, but it is an amazing co-op experience of a true 10/10 game.

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.
