You are Talion, Ranger of the Black Gate. For what seems like eons, you have guarded the entrance to Mordor, keeping watch over Sauron's undisturbed dwelling place with relative uneventfulness. But in the blink of an eye, everything you hold dear is snatched from your grasp. Your family, your friends — even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief — vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land — the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron's return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player's actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

Great Game Set In Middle-Earth
on October 14, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
This game basically takes the stealth and fighting from Assassin's Creed and Batman, but improves on both. Assassin's Creed makes you run around spending more time gathering collectibles than fighting in combat. The recent Batman games have a great combat system built around counters and special moves. Shadow of Mordor focuses on the combat and Nemesis system (Orc Captains and Warchiefs) instead of making you track down 100s of collectibles (boring). I have killed many Orc leaders in my 25 hour game time and not one looked the same nor had the same name. Every captain and warchief feels unique, and I think that is awesome. The story line of the game is interesting, and if you do all side quests and battle it out with the orcs, then this game can easily take you 30+ hours. The graphics look pretty good, especially the close up shots of the orcs. I am very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend this game, especially if you like the lore of Middle-Earth..

Great racing flick

Verified Purchase:Yes
I do enjoy the Fast and the Furious movies, well primarily the last 3 because they show more muscle cars. Now with that said, I was interested in this movie because it had some cool muscle cars showcased (first race in the movie is awesome), but it was also neat to see some multi-million dollar cars that I had never heard of before. I am not a huge fan of Mustangs but the Mustang in this movie is pretty awesome. The plot of the movie was pretty good in my opinion, and the actors/actresses did a good job in their roles. There were a few awkward moments here and there so it's only a minor complaint about the acting. Many movies coming out nowadays have a ton of foul language and nudity. This movie had a small amount of foul language (No F words and maybe a handful of lesser curse words were used). Regarding nudity, there is one scene where a man's butt is shown, but it wasn't in an explicit nature at all, and adds comedy to the scene, so it didn't bother me. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised with this movie, and I have actually watched it 3 times since I purchased it. I also loved the Bandit Trans Am cameo during the highway race.

Very fun game but broken save system
on September 10, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been a huge fan of the Burnout series over the years and read that Need for Speed Rivals had a lot of that style of gameplay. I bought the game and played it for 8 hours straight the first night. You can choose between the police or the racers and switch back and forth throughout the game to make the gameplay a bit different. You are able to upgrade your vehicles, including new paint, decals, etc (racers only) and weapons (cops and racers). The big problem deals with the way the game saves your progress. Apparently it is done through an EA Cloud server and it doesn't always work right. The next day I went to continue my game and my save was broken and the game started me at the very beginning. I had went from level 14 all the way back down to level 1. One recommendation to help fix the save bug is to disconnect your ethernet cable and play the game offline. I did try that and my progress did save correctly. The next time I played I connected the ethernet cable back, and the saves appeared to begin working ok, however, I became hesitant to play for more than an hour at a time. I would have given this game a 5 star rating if the save game feature worked correctly. Since it doesn't, I knocked the game down to 3 stars. The game is worth playing, but limit the time you do play it in case your progress isn't saved.

Excellent show. Season 6 Doesn't Disappoint

Sons of Anarchy is my favorite TV show and I have watched it since season 1. Every season is great and I continue to invest in the characters (Opie was my favorite though). I also really like Game of Thrones but prefer SOA because every episode has you on the edge of your seat because you don't know what will happen next (wasn't based off a series of books). It's unfortunate that the final season is upon us, but I know it will be fantastic. I would recommend picking up the previous seasons if you haven't seen this show yet.

As you take in the pleasant view outside your window, it's hard to fathom that it could all be swept away in the blink of an eye. For Artyom, however, there's no need to imagine — after the devastation of an apocalyptic event, the only hope for salvation lies in the darkness deep beneath Moscow in the underground. The Metro franchise introduced you to Artyom's world as you plunged into the survival horror genre with Metro 2033, then kept you riveted in the action-packed follow-up, Metro: Last Night. Now, get ready to return to the terror and brutality that defines this hellish world on a first-person shooter thrill ride that tests your will to survive in every way.Metro Redux includes Metro 2033, the terrifying first chapter of Artyom's struggle for survival in the ruins of his city, as well as Metro: Last Night, the heart-pounding continuation. The nightmare begins in Metro 2033 as Artyom, a survivor of an apocalyptic event 20 years in the past, is forced to leave the relative safety of Moscow's underground and emerge into a world populated by murderous mutants and full of toxicity and danger around every corner. As if the world outside wasn't horrific enough, Metro: Last Light brings the terror underground as Artyom struggles to save humanity as it perches on the edge of civil war and ultimate destruction. Struggle for survival armed only with homemade weapons and your trusty gasmask as you fight your way through two action-saturated campaigns with all-new melee animations, plus hours of thrilling DLC. Immerse yourself in the bleak world of post-apocalyptic Moscow with stunning imagery rendered in silky smooth 60 fps, as well as new lighting, physics, dynamic weather effects and full-body player animations. Take charge with improved AI, controls and weapon handling and easily check your watch and ammo supplies on the fly. Prepare yourself for slow-burning intensity in Survival mode, or duke it out in brutal combat in Spartan mode. Rise to the ultimate challenge as you wage deadlier battles with fewer resources and without the benefit of HUD or UI in Ranger mode. The odds are bad and the stakes are high — do you have what it takes to save what's left of the world?

Awesome Game; Great Value

Verified Purchase:Yes
I played Metro 2033 on the Xbox 360 when it came out several years ago. I thought it was fantastic. Creepy atmosphere and engaging storyline. For Metro Redux, the development team completely rebuilt the game (Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light) to include new content, graphics, and other features. I have played the first few levels of Metro 2033 with a friend and we were both amazed at the quality. He went and bought the game the next day. Now I only have one minor gripe at this time, and it's very minor. I do love how you can now play the game in other languages (Russian, French, Spanish, etc) with English subtitles. I decided to play with Russian language and English subtitles. The main storyline and interaction captures the Russian language with appropriate subtitles, but any background discussions as you walk around your base camp do not show subtitles. So you will walk by people speaking in Russian, and even making remarks to you, but there are no associated subtitles. I might switch back to English (with Russian accents) to get the full effect. Overall, these are two fantastic games and I highly recommend them in the Metro Redux package.

Great Headset for the Price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this stereo headset to use when playing games late at night so I could hear everything in the games while not waking up the wife. I also bought them for the rare occassions I play multiplayer with friends. I could not justify paying $150+ for a headset because I knew I wouldn't use them every day. These are a great price and are good quality for those that are like me (not sure how these would hold up with heavy use). The controller needs to be updated to use any stereo headset with the Xbox One. I performed the update with no issues by using the included instructions (the controller to headset adaptor is included in the box also). After adjusting the volume of the game music/sound, and my microphone level, I think the headset sounds very good. My only complaint is that the ear cups fit tight on my head and the entire headset will take some time to break in. I do not have a large head, but I expect the pressure to lessen after using/stretching them out a bit.

Another Great Sniper Game in the Series
on July 28, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
The collector's edition comes in a cool steel case. Nice collectible if you are a fan of the Sniper Elite series. I have been playing these Sniper Elite games since the first one on the original Xbox. I always had a blast with friends, especially when the kill cam went into effect with a perfect sniper shot. The story in Sniper Elite 3 is good and on par with the previous games. The level design provides plenty of good vantage points to snipe the enemy, and there are spots near loud equipment that you can use to mask your shots. I have faced some minor glitches, like hit detection and one issue with the auto-save feature. However, I still find the game very fun, and it will take you a good amount of time to complete if you gather all collectibles in each level (roughly 15 hours). I think the graphics on Xbox One look very good and I can tell a difference compared to Xbox 360 graphics. I would recommend this game to those that enjoy the Sniper Elite series.

Angry Birds is a fun game in the general sense, but by including the Star Wars theme, it makes the game better. If you like Star Wars and Angry Birds then this is a no brainer. Each "hero" bird has a unique ability they can use which helps add variety. I enjoyed this game and would recommend it, especially for younger children.

Pure 80s Cheese

Verified Purchase:Yes
I grew up in the 80s and vaguely remember this movie. I bought this movie after it was released on blu-ray and decided to have my younger brother and sister (ages 21 and 25) over to watch it with me. This movie is labeled as action, but since the acting isn't the best, I think I would consider it more of a comedy. We were all laughing at how cheesy the movie was, but we did enjoy it. There are only a couple extras on this blu-ray, but one of them is a 30 minute long WWF match from the 80s. The tag team match was between Hulk/Brutus the Barber Beefcake and Randy Savage/Zeus. A very nice inclusion in my opinion. If you can get the movie under $10, I would highly recommend it. The blu-ray visual quality looked very good, and the audio wasn't bad either.
