SynopsisThe beach bunnies parade around on the sand in skimpy bikinis and the waiter brings another icy drink out to you on the lounge chair. A cool breeze blows in off the Pacific, cutting the heat around Banoi's flagship Royal Palms Resort. Completely cut off from the rest of the world, surrounded by vacationers with money to burn at this ultimate getaway spot, you smile, knowing this is paradise. But what happens when paradise is lost?When a contagious zombie outbreak sweeps Banoi, effectively turning it into a Dead Island, it's up to you and three other individuals who are strangely immune to zombification to protect the survivors from the horror and try to find a way to escape. The island's open-world setting offers countless things to do and objectives to complete as you try to find out what's really going on in this zombie slasher action RPG. Collect and customize weapons to fight off the zombies in close-quarter melee combat. As you advance through the story, you will gain experience points, allowing you to unlock skill trees and develop your character. Take on the undead with up to three friends in the seamless multiplayer mode that allows you to drop in and out of each other's games at any time. Are you ready for the madness, carnage and chaos of this Dead Island?

Great game

Overall, this game is fantastic! It reminds me of Borderlands, but with Zombies. There is a mild RPG element to the game. Your character levels, and you can choose which skills/abilities that you'd like to upgrade similar to Borderlands. I'm still early in the game, but the scavanging element of it is a little repetitive. Multiplayer worked very well for me, the co-op play was fantastic. If you're into zombie games, or even first person shooters, I'd highly recommend this game.

Excellent

This is the only album put forth by Agents of Oblivion that I am aware of. The band is fronted by Dax Riggs, formerly of Acid Bath, and currently performing as Dax Riggs without a band name behind him. This album falls between the Acid Bath days and his current solo efforts. If you're an Acid Bath fan, this album may not be for you, or it could be exactly what you're looking for; it really depends on personal taste. If aggressive guitars and vocals are a must, you probably won't like it much. If you enjoy haunting lyrics backed by equally haunting acoustic guitars, this album is right up your alley. It retains the darkness of Acid Bath, but instead of being projected through screamed vocals and distorted guitars, the vocals are all sung and most of the instrumentation is acoustic. The electric version of Dead Girl alone made this album worth purchasing for me. Overall, an excellent album, it may not be for all Acid Bath fans, but a must for fans of Dax Riggs.

Packing two 10" aluminum cone drivers with 1-1/2" voice coils and a 60-oz. magnet, this bass speaker cabinet pairs with a 200W RMS bass amplifier head (not included) to deliver punchy bass tone.

I just purchased and received this cab. I had never used a 210XL cab in the past, but figured it would be a good buy since I have been very satisfied with other Hartke products that I own. I've gotten a few hours time in with this cab. I'm running it with a Trace Elliot AH500X at 250w RMS paired with a Hartke 115XL also running off the Trace at 250w RMS and playing an Ibanez ATK300 bass. I think the power handling ratings are a little conservative, I cranked it up good and loud with 250 watts going to it, and it sounded great with no clipping or distorting. The 210XL adds some brightness to the highs and mids and gives the rig a more punchey growl that I was missing using just the 115XL. Alone, the 210XL is a little lacking in the deep bottom end when compared to a 15" hartke speaker which is why I only rated it as good for sound quality, but does perform well in the lows for 10" speakers and does exactly what you would expect/want from the smaller 10" speakers. You could definitely use this cab alone for small gigs and practicing. It's not too heavy, which is nice, but still feels very sturdy and well crafted.
What's great about it: Price, size, weight/portability, sound quality, power handling, craftsmanship
What's not so great: Nothing

Overall
1 out of 5
1 out of 5Sound delay/lag too much to overcome
By Texsmith

I bought all the cable needed for the recommended "best" setup, and still experienced too much delay to make the game enjoyable. I am very disappointed. As an experienced guitar player, the delay between me striking the string with my pick, and the sound coming out of the speakers, is just too much. The fact that what my hands were doing and my ears were hearing are not the same makes it impossible to play properly, in my opinion.
Perhaps for a beginner this would not be much of a problem, but I think anybody who has ever plugged a guitar into an amplifier would immediately notice the difference and find it hard to keep playing.

Hey Texsmith, if you're playing on an lcd TV, the delay may actually be due to your TV settings. To reduce lag, adjust the video output settings on your xbox to match the display settings of your TV, or set the TV to gaming mode if it has that option. If you haven't already tried that, it should help a lot.
