This set contains every episode from season five of The Walking Dead, the long-running AMC series starring Andrew Lincoln as Rick, a small-town Georgia cop who helps lead a band of survivors on a seemingly never-ending trek in search of a safe haven after a zombie epidemic has swept across the country.

Another solid season, but not the best
on November 16, 2015
Posted by: Gamerphile
from Albany, NY
Just finished watching Season 5. It was another great year for this show. While I recommend this to any fan of the show, here are the negatives I came away with:
Carl was coming into his own in S4. He morphed from a scared kid into a stone cold zombie killer. In S5 they seemed to push him into the background. I would like to have seen more development of his character.
After all the focus on getting to Terminus in S4, they didn't seem to do much with it in S5. What they did was spectacular, but I think it could have been a good setting for a number of interesting story lines.
As usual, some cast are killed off and new people join the ranks. I wasn't impressed with the new characters.

Almost complete Greatest Hits collection
on September 15, 2015
Posted by: Gamerphile

Great collection!
Positives:
Covers the Jackson 5 as well as his amazing solo career.
Two discs allow for more songs, definitely required for an artist with so many hits like Michael Jackson.
Negatives:
Even with two discs, it wouldn't be a Greatest Hits compilation without a few songs omitted! Would like to have seen his collaborations with Mick Jagger (State of Shock), Janet Jackson (Scream), and Paul McCartney (Say Say Say) included in this set (though his other McCartney song The Girl Is Mine can be found here).

Red Dawn meets Close Encounters

I love dystopian survival stories, and this show offers it up in spades. In short, aliens have invaded earth, destroyed most of the military, occupied the largest cities, and are capturing kids and attaching control harnesses to them. I like that the show starts off several months after the invasion, focusing on the struggle of the survivors. This is the story of a small group of military and civilians, who've come together as the 2nd Mass. Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) is the father of 3 sons, one of whom has been harnessed. And I love the fact that he is a warrior and historian - he constantly compares the desperate situations the group faces to real examples from our history. The show focuses on not only his struggle to survive but to keep his family together. The hard choices that need to be made, how desperate situations can turn the best of man, I love Sci-Fi that makes you think. What would you do to survive?

Best season of the best comedy on tv

BBB is far and away the funniest show on TV imo. The show has gotten better every season. The characters have some interesting storylines, and the cast seems to be firing on all cylinders. Howard is back from the space station and has trouble adjusting to "civilian" life (and a great episode where Sheldon finds a letter his estranged father had written him); Raj find a girlfriend who's more socially awkward than he is; and the relationships between Penny-Leonard and Amy-Sheldon grow. Even a guest appearance by Stephen Hawking! (Side note: season 7 is somewhat disappointing; part of what makes me have more appreciation for season 6).

Bought this to increase the capacity of my ps3 (40gb wasn't cutting it). It was simple to replace (instructions are on SONY's website, just find your model). I installed it several months ago and I've had no problems.. Now I have room for all of those free PSN games!

Enjoy the thrills of Fallout 3 along with five game add-on packs with this Game of the Year Edition. In the 200 years since the global atomic war of 2077, the surviving residents of the Capital Wasteland (formerly known as Washington, D.C.) have holed up in Vault 101, enjoying a life free from the dangers beyond. In the Vault, you are protected from the Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers and Super Mutants that prowl the Capital Wasteland. But now your father has defied the Overseer and left the Vault for reasons you don't know. You must find him and discover the truth before it is too late.Fallout 3 immerses you in an environment where the great monuments of the United States lie in ruin and danger lurks around every corner, and this special Game of the Year Edition brings the post-nuclear world even more vividly to life with the addition of all five game add-on packs. Super-deluxe HD graphics render the Wasteland in eye-popping detail, from the danger-filled offices and Metro tunnels of D.C. to the rotten flesh of a mutant's face. Choose from dozens of unique skills and perks to customize your character. Experience the post-apocalyptic world from either a 1st-person or 3rd-person perspective with the touch of a button. Inflict death and destruction through the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System, which allows you to pause time in combat, aim for specific body parts on your target and queue up attacks. In Fallout 3, you make the decisions that define you and that change the world. Continue the adventure in the five included add-on packs, including Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta.

Fallout 3 ranks among my top 5 games of all time. To give you an idea of the impact this game has had on me, I purchased this PS3 GOTY copy even though I have the original game and all the individual dlc for the XB360. This package (GOTY) includes the main game plus all the expansion packs, including the increased level cap. If you like exploring, this is your game! This is by far the greatest value you'll ever find in gaming; between the massive map, gazillions of quests, and personalization options (karma, gender, combat style) you'll spend 100's(and I mean 100's) of hours exploring the Capital Wasteland. Unlike FO New Vegas you can continue playing the game after you've completed the main quest. Point Lookout is my favorite dlc. And I love the radio - it's even sparked my interest in early 50's music.
My cons: It starts off very slow. You spend the first portion of the game growing up in the vault. Once you leave the vault the game really begins. So if you get bored at first - hang in there, you'll be rewarded for your patience. Also, be prepared to invest large amounts of time playing this game. And it glitches - you'll occasionally have to power down your console because the game locks up. Not as bad as New Vegas, but still annoying. Make sure you save your progress frequently.

Excellent value

Comparing Plus to Live (I have ps3/ps4/vita and xbox 360): Plus has long offered free games across all of their currently supported platforms, Live is just catching up by offering 2 games per month. Sony wins on quantity, quality (ex: Live offers Kefflings while Plus will be serving up Borderlands 2 soon), and variety (so far Live only supports 360, while I can get free PS4 games from Plus). Live has an excellent interface and is pretty reliable; I only play online with friends and since all my friends are on Live I've not tried Plus' online gaming. Live's games are also free to keep forever, while Plus requires that you remain an active member to access your downloaded games. Finally, Plus is $10 cheaper than Live, and sales are better for Plus too - I picked up this card for $30!

Great card case with accessories

Got this primarily for the card case - it holds 30 cards and is about an inch thick. Great clearance deal at $5. I'm not using the system case since it's too small to hold the Vita with my Nerf armor attached. And I can't comment on the screen protectors since I have one already installed.

This lens polarizer removes reflections from surfaces including water and glass and improves contrast and color saturation for bluer skies and whiter clouds. The rotating mount allows you to control the effect.
