The Best RPG just got Better!

Oblivion is the latest chapter in the Elder Scrolls series, and I would say it is the best by far. The graphics are fantastic, especially outside of the cities in the forests. There are tons of quests to do, and many paths for your character to take (good, evil, etc), and what lifestyle you choose has a bearing on what quests you have the chance to attempt. There's SO much to do, I know that some people can get overwhelmed because it's not obvious in the very beginning what to do. I just recommend talking to a few people and you'll find your first quest. Because of the branching nature of the game, you can play it four-five-even six times and still not see everything. The best thing about the Game of the Year edition is you don't have to pay to buy the Knights of the Nine, and Shivering Isles expansions, they're included!

Fun Platformer

This is a really well-done, colorful platformer. It is a little slow getting started, and that's why I think it scored poorly in the game mags, but if you stick with it, it is easily one of the best game experiences on the 360 by the end. LIVE also has extra content you can download for this title.

Average RPG

Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
This is a beautiful game, and the music is really well done, but it is SO LINEAR. The game pretty much drags you by the hand from point to point and tells you what to do. Also, the battle voices get pretty annoying after a short while. BUT, it DOES have multi-player co-op gameplay, where you can actually fight the battles TOGETHER with a friend or friends (I think it allows up to 4 people, we've only tried 2) against the monsters at the same time. That's a great feature that more RPGs should have.
This is a fun game, but in the value for money category, Blue Dragon is a MUCH better game for the 360 with similarly high production values.

Very Slow Strategy Gameplay
on September 22, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
The gameplay in this mech game is pretty slow, and the environments are sparse. As a result, it becomes more of a strategic game than an action game. If you want fast-action mechs, look at Armored Core 4.

The graphics are dated on this title, but the gameplay is all Call of Duty, and are a great primer for the intense action and graphical upgrade coming with Call of Duty 4 this November! Nice that the Game of the Year edition gives the fans some face time with the creators of this great series!

One of the better Movie-License Games
on September 22, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
We were actually surprised at how good this game was as a movie-to-game license. The gameplay was very good and the graphics were acceptable. The only downside was that the things the game required you to do to win started out as fun, but were VERY repetitive by the end of the game.
This game also has really easy Achievements, for you achievement-mongers on LIVE!

They say for most people that doing is learning — being told how to do something, or even shown, isn't nearly as effective as jumping right in and giving it a try for yourself. Learning to play the guitar certainly applies to this principle, and hands-on, on-the-go sessions are the most effective way to elevate your skills. Whether you're a novice picking up the guitar for the very first time or an old hand fine-tuning your technique, Rocksmith gets you results fast, by putting the guitar in your hands, plugging into your console and getting the party started. Rocksmith 2014 Edition takes the same proven methods of the original edition and enhances them for a fruitful learning experience that will soon have you riffing with the best of 'em.Newly designed for an enriched, re-imagined experience, Rocksmith 2014 Edition features new menus and in-game interfaces for clear, smooth and blazing-fast learning. Receive feedback and play along with more than 50 hit tracks, from alternative rock to heavy metal to classic rock and more. If you own the original Rocksmith, the 2014 Edition is backward compatible with those songs as well for a rich library of tracks you know and love. Designed for ease and speed, the features are more accessible and flexible than ever, allowing you to select your section, difficulty and speed on-the-fly in the fully customizable Riff Repeater mode. Experience a revamped Master mode that is more approachable to learn songs by memory. When you want to ease the pressure a bit, jump over to the Guitarcade for more than 10 mini games that will help you have fun while honing your skills. Session mode lets you experience the feeling of jamming with a band — choose the combination of instruments you want backing you up and following your lead. Showcase your sickest performance with integrated capture and streaming features, which are exclusive to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Rocksmith 2014. Import your existing DLC purchases from your PlayStation 3, so you can grow your music library without having to leave your favorite tunes behind. Become engrossed in the learning process with 1080p high-definition graphics that offer improved clarity and visual quality, which make it easier to follow along. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced axe man, there's always something to learn, and Rocksmith 2014 Edition makes it an enjoyable, worthwhile experience.

I thought this game what's going to be wonderful but turned out that there was the big time lag and the game performance. I have very fast internet so there should have been a problem. Tried to return the item but was unable to. Not happy.

The Lag is your TV
February 15, 2015
You need to put your TV in game mode to reduce the lag if the game is lagging on you. Many cheap LCD TVs (like Vizio, Westinghouse, etc) have terrible lag. It's probably your TV. If you have game mode, that will help.

what is bionz image processer
It is currently in many of Sony's digital cameras. Image processing in camera converts the raw image data from a CCD into the format that is stored on the memory card. This processing is one of the bottlenecks in digital camera speed, so manufacturers put much effort into making, and marketing, the fastest processors for this step that they can. Some of the models that use the Bionz image processors are DSC W150,DSC W170,W210,W350, α 700, α 900

Olympus 8010 has 1588MB memory and 6020 has 632 MB memory, using max of 14 megapixel for photos, what would photo storage difference be?
Olympus 8010 has 1588 MB memory and 6020 has 632 MB memory using 14 megapixcels, what would picture storage difference be? Cameras are almost the same, except 8010 is is little more shock and water proof to lower depth.
It depends on the storage compression of the camera. IF it's uncompressed 24 bit pictures, there's about 125 pictures on the one camera and a little over 300 on the other. But most consumer cameras store as Jpg images with some compression, so the real storage is most-likely substantially more.

Where can I get my Camera Repaired?
The little orange triangle that holds the battery in broke
If this is a Canon camera, they have an exchange program where you send them yours and they exchange it for another. It's typically reasonable.

Zoom doesn't work
Yesterday I bought a sony digital camera model DSC-H10 at best buy #323, and zoom only works before starting the filming, during filming zoom doesn't works. A question is not whether this is a defect or not? I have another camera that Sony does Żomm during filming. I am grateful if they can give me an answer as soon as possible.
This is not a defect. The optical zoom cannot be changed while filming on the DSC-H10.
The reason most cameras don't allow it is because the microphone will pick up the sound of the motor adjusting the lens while you're filming because camera motors weren't really designed to work like camcorders except in a pinch.
Canon Powershot S5-IS can optically zoom while filming, as can a few other cameras, but if you're filming live action a lot, you're better off getting a camcorder that can take pictures, not a camera that can film.
