Have you ever asked yourself what our world would be like if history had unfolded differently? Have you ever wondered what would happen if one link in the chain of events was reversed? What if, for example, the Nazis had won World War II? The answer is that the face of this planet would be forever changed, irrevocably damaged. The year is 1960 and the worst has happened. The Nazis turned the tide of World War II in their favor with a new, mysterious brand of advanced weaponry that, along with unrelenting force and intimidation, brought even the most powerful nations to their knees. Who among this conquered planet has the courage to stand up to the merciless regime? What man has the guts and the skills to save the world from the grip of this iron fist? You are B.J. Blazkowicz, American war hero, and you are the only man capable of rewriting history. Only you can save us all.Launch the most daring counter-offensive in history in Wolfenstein: The New Order, a game that puts you up against oversize Nazi robots, hulking Super Soldiers and elite shock troops in intense first-person combat. Break into hidden research facilities and heavily guarded weapons stashes to find out where the Nazi's advanced technology came from, and level the playing field by upgrading your own tools of destruction with what you find. From mountaintop car chases to underwater exploration, Wolfenstein: The New Order cultivates an unbelievably exhilarating adventure with high-octane action and an immersive game narrative, created by a group of seasoned developers at MachineGames and rendered in stunning detail with the id Tech 5 engine. So if you think you have the heart and the daring of a hero, go up against this terrifying Nazi regime and restore history to its rightful place.

fun and great looking game
on May 21, 2014
Posted by: stance82
First it's a great looking game, like the graphics, second it's fun to shoot up buildings or certain objects and see it destroyed, and third although a bit strange to have cut scenes in the middle of your game play I can see what they where trying to accomplish so I can see past it. The voice acting was really good and the game mechanics where good over all. The only disappointment was there is no multiplayer.

Phone size:Just right
It's been a while since I've had an HTC and I'm so glad I came back to it with this phone. I've had this phone for about 2 weeks now and I'm very pleased with the excellent build quality of the phone and UI . It's a beautiful looking phone with its all aluminum body and gorilla glass assures me I'm OK not to waste money on a screen protector. I've always ( like most I'm sure ) have associated heavy products with good quality material and excellent build overall but with in most cases it's not true. This HTC one M8 is however all of the above. It's fast and clear screen is great for most of anything although I have to admit it tend to strain my eyes a bit when reading article because the screen resolution is so high the letters look sharp, I'm sure that can be adjusted. The one thing I have found a bit frustrating is at times the phone hiccups when deciding to switch from a wifi network to a cell antenna and vice versa. I keep having to either restart the phone ( which is FAST in rebooting ) or place it in airplane mode and back to regular. Battery is OK not to bad as other phones I've had but I tend to plug in when I get a chance anyways so it doesn't worry me much. Overall I'm very pleased to own this excellent phone and coming from a Samsung note 2 this phone is a jump up even with the slightly smaller screen.

Looks beautiful
on March 19, 2014
Posted by: stance82
Great beginning to what is going to be an amazing game! Looks beautiful, all the characters look awesome and the environment is almost PC quality on the PS4. Can't wait for The Phantom Pain. I thought the price was ok simply because I have the gamers unlocked so $23 is not bad for a few hours of game play. I would recommend this game but again don't expect more than about 4 hours of game play.

Great Graphics

Great Game! Awesome graphics! but! i found it hard to play longer than an hour at a time. I kept finding myself get a bit tired of playing but was always great to get back to the next day, it was fun but a bit confusing with the controls and touch pad during some action sequences. Multiplayer is fun i usually reserve online multiplayer for games like Battlefield 4 anything less is just no fun for me.

The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

best console of the 2!

I have had all 3 playstation consoles and have always enjoyed the constant upgrades to the systems and controllers. Playstation 4 does not disappoint! Not only is the controller so well shaped to fit in all types of hands but the system itself has a low profile so you can place it under the T.V., its also quite even when hot and the fan is running at full blast it barley makes a hum. Of course the graphics improved substantially which is to say they are not PC like yet but its still very impressive. The only bone i have to pick is the remote play is still not working properly but im sure there will be an update soon to fix the disconnection that occurs during play outside of your home network.
overall owning the Xbox One Day one edition and the PS4 i find myself enjoying the PS4 more over the 2.

Great game and multiplayer but its a big time waste of money when they offer you the Elite if you're a PS3 owner since all DLC will still be given to you a whole month after XBOX. Not ragging on XBOX owners since i have one as well just saying Activision really screwed PS3 owners on this one by going back on his word about releasing DLC on both counsels at the same time for Elite members.
What's great about it: Graphics and multiplayer..sometimes
What's not so great: Lag glitchers
