Great promise, but doesn't follow through on it

Bungie's Halo games were all so much fun to play--from the engaging campaign and its narrative to the fun and hectic world of multiplayer, those games felt like what Bungie was trying to do with Destiny, except on a larger MMO-like scale. Instead, the plot is half-baked; there are too many enemy races that are haphazardly introduced and the stakes in each mission seem disjointed to point where I didn't really care about it. The loot and leveling system are needlessly grindy (which is perplexing because there is no monthly fee for this and thus no reason to make players go longer than necessary). The one saving grace is that the combat mechanics are still fun to use. The shooting feels like it should and it is genuinely a pleasure. The raids are also good, but the lack of even a matchmaking option (yes, randoms are not as good, but still better than nothing) is disappointing.

Nice combination of nostalgia and new tech

I consider myself to be a big Godzilla fan, and, having been burned by the first Godzilla made by an American studio, I was rightly initially hesitant about this 2014 remake. Luckily, this version stays true to its roots. The look, roar, and action of Godzilla feel right and his opponent is likewise classic. The only drawback is that there should have been more scenes with Godzilla, but I did like how the first reveal after all the build-up was cool.

One minute, you're Emmett, just an unassuming guy trying to get through his day-to-day life as a person with his head down and his feet on the ground. The next, you're being hailed as the savior of a world under the total rule of an evil dictator, and everyone is looking to you to save the day. Using all the resources and know-how at your disposal, it's up to you to overthrow the cruel ruler and save all of LEGO-kind.Choose your character from more than 90 unique LEGO people as you traverse through the dense LEGO universe with a fellowship of strangers, all while collecting one-of-a-kind items to build the world of your dreams. Construct massive structures as you wind through worlds — your only limitation is your own imagination. It's like getting to play with LEGOs without having to clean them up.

If you've played any Lego game, then you know the basic mechanics of this game. The plot follows the movie's major points, but of course takes some liberties with the hows and wheres. The cutscenes are straight out of the movie, which could be good or bad, depending how you look at it.

Having one main villain be a constant, menacing threat throughout the season made each episode enjoyable. Sure, some parts are a bit too campy, but it is all in moderation.

The movie is a classic and is great to watch around Christmas. It is well acted and directed, with the plot moving along nicely. Adults and kids both have something to enjoy with the tale of believing in Santa, even though it seems irrational.
The only negative is that the colored version of the movie is not included, only black and white. This drawback is amplified by the fact that the DVD has both, but the Blu-ray, which has more space on the disc, does not.

If you like Plants vs. Zombies and multiplayer shooters, then you will enjoy this game. Each side has 4 different classes to play as, most of which are fun to switch between. The only problem with the game is the servers can be laggy and cause disconnections.

What's great about it: Good art design, interesting classes
What's not so great: Electronic Arts' servers tend to not be the best

Ben-Hur is a classic and it is nice to see this release do the movie justice. It looks and sounds great, and the entire Anniversary Edition packaging and contents are a good supplement to it.

Disney Infinity immerses you in exciting movie worlds called Play Sets, where you'll embark on original adventures, solve puzzles, overcome obstacles and more. Fusing movies, video games and reality into one groundbreaking experience, Infinity gives you a unique door into the magic, through a collection of character figures that activate the Play Sets when they're placed on the base. To change it up, take the action to the game's Toy Box. Here, you can mix up items from all of the Play Sets and craft your own custom game world. Once your masterpiece is complete, open it up for your friends to explore in four-person co-op play. With tons of additional characters to collect, powers to unlock and magic to create, you've only just begun your journey into Infinity.With determination in his heart and magic in his soul, Mickey is here to save the day and add powerful abilities to your Disney Infinity arsenal — whatever it takes to bring down the bad guy. Clean house and take out the trash — the figurative trash that is — with this Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey figure who puts his awe-inspiring sweeping power into your hands to help you come out on top in the next epic Infinity battle.

If you like Disney Infinity then getting Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey is a done deal. He is a fun character to play with and makes a great addition to any collection.
The only downside is that it can be difficult to find this figure (or any Disney Infinity figure for that matter) without paint blemishes. I suggest going to the store and comparing figures.

What's great about it: It's Mickey Mouse!
What's not so great: It was hard to find one that was painted well. The quality varies.

Good to have the Batman movies in one package
on September 26, 2013
Posted by: NeoQuintessence
from Glendale, California
I like having a complete collection of series, so I bought this convenient package to achieve that. However, only half the movies are really worth watching more than once. The first two, Batman and Batman Returns, are pretty good movies. The last two, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, are not all that great.
