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.
Don't take my review for whether or not you should buy it, because I have yet to fully get into it. I did play on PS4 for a good bit and I really liked it. Got it for Xbox One and can't wait to start!
This set serves up every episode from the sophomore season of the CBS sci-fi/drama series Person of Interest about a squad of people who attempt to stop crimes before they happen.
Just like most shows, PoI does have formulaic beginnings, but once you get into it, you start to see the deeper places it goes. Acting, action and plot are still great in PoI Season 2.

The popular sitcom's ninth and final season transpires almost entirely during the wedding weekend of Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders). The series moves to Long Island as the happy couple and married friends Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Allyson Hannigan) and the ever-unlucky at love Ted (Josh Radnor) prep for the big event. The two-day gathering is rife with plenty of familial shenanigans and escapades as the soon-to-be-marrieds deal with problems that include Robin's disagreement with Barney's mother and brother, and Robin and Barney's holy row with the minister who is to officiate the ceremony. On the day of the nuptials, she and the gang contend with a massively hungover groom-to-be and try to concoct one of his---wait for it---legendary Stinson Hangover Fixer Elixirs. The highlight of the season is the addition of the young woman (Cristin Milioti, who was introduced in the Season 8 finale) who would become Ted's bride and the mother of his son and daughter. In the series finale, Ted tells his children the conclusion to the tale of how he and their mother finally became a couple, and the episode also offers details of what the future held for Barney, Robin, Marshall and Lily.
I've been a fan since the pilot and have loved the show since. Needless to say I was like all the other fans in hoping this would be a blowout final season. While it is definitely funny, it just didn't hit that OMGosh factor for me. I can't really explain it, it just felt "off" to me. The format of it all being in one weekend (with "flashbacks" & "flash forwards" obviously) just threw me off. It was good, just not great like I was hoping.
Console is great/digital download too large though

-Console itself is great. I'm still trying to get used to it from 7 years of my 360 but that's to be expected. -I don't like having to install 45GB+ games onto the harddrive, but if that's what makes them run smooth then I'm glad I got the 1TB harddrive! -My only real detraction with the console/game bundle is that it's a digital copy of the game; our internet where I currently am (Dish) doesn't allow for more than 15GB a month... So if you data limitations, just make plans to buy a physical copy like I did.
I was worried that with so much happening in the plot that we'd be "mis-treated" to another Spider-Man 3. Not the case here. This #2 ends up being a long storyline that all ties together nicely portrays the most "human" Spider-Man that I think we've seen yet.
This release includes all 24 episodes of the brainy sitcom The Big Bang Theory, following the romantic and practical misadventures of two genius physicists, who are at the top of their fields in science, but at the bottom of the totem in playing the field. The two continually attempt to bring their social skills into par with their laboratory skills, and living across the hall from a charming blonde actress gives them plenty of motivation.
I saw the first movie and really liked it. Needless to say I was excited to see the 2nd movie. What I found was a better movie than the first! Great sequel.
