I have really enjoyed the past run of Mario games, especially Mario 3D World for the Wii U. Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 were also great games, but the whole galaxy and spherical level idea could be frustrating at times. This new Mario game takes a lot of those ideas and mashes them together into a great experience. It's fun for all ages and breathes new life not only into the Mario franchise but platform titles in general. Exploring the lush variety of worlds is fun and enjoyable. You never know when you'll find a nook, or cranny, here and there and discover new things. The costume collection is a fun addition and you can't wait to explore to see what new items you can unlock for our hero.

Breath of the Wild truly is one of those games that is "as good as everyone says it is." It is not without its shortcomings, such as the cooking system which is fun at first, but eventually, it would have been much nicer to have a list of recipes once learned to expedite the process. Menus and interfaces aside, everything else that you experience in the open world is very much an adventure. For the first time in Hyrule, you truly have the feeling of being an adventurer out in the world overcoming obstacles to continue on your path. There is so much to do that at times it is quite overwhelming. BoW brought back wonderful memories of games like Fallout 4 where you're on your way to the main quest, then boom - something shiny flies by and you find yourself lost on a sidequest or simply exploring.
This Mega Bloks Call of Duty SEAL Sub Recon CNG80 construction set features 2 micro SEAL soldiers and a buildable submarine, so your child can pretend to play in a Call of Duty mission.
I know that these aren't Lego-brand, but there's definitely a bit left to be desired from this set. The sub itself is pretty neat and well made. I would still like for the pieces to snap together more reliably, but they're decent. The figures were just plain awful; the pieces wouldn't stick together, the accessories broke and were disappointing.

The essence of duality, Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter face off as you choose which character to control to solve puzzles and cast magical spells as you travel across the Adventure World.

I'm a huge Potter fan, so this pack was fantastic. Very useful abilities on both characters, being able to fly helps quite a bit. Highly recommend to any HP and Lego fan.

My son loves Joker, so this set was perfect for him. I wouldn't pay regular price for the team packs with just characters, but at 50% off or more, this is a good value.

Explore the world of Final Fantasy XV as you fight the imperial army to reclaim your homeland. Master your weaponry and meet new friends as you channel your ancestor's power to defeat your enemies. Huge beasts, exquisite magic and incredible scenery await as you travel through Eos in Final Fantasy XV.
Final Fantasy XV has the challenging task of feeling fresh, new, and innovative while also staying true to what fans of the long-running series have come to enjoy. I have put over 70 hours into XV and will say that it's a hard game to review. FFXV and Fallout 4 are the only games I have put considerable time into in the past few years, for good reason on both accounts. The best way to sum up FFXV is to say that the whole is definitely better than the parts. Overall, I highly recommend the game, though it's definitely not going to be for everyone. Here are some quick thoughts:
Combat - Combat is simple on the surface, but insanely deep underneath. You will play for hours and still feel like you haven't really mastered it yet. Camera issues are undoubtedly here and frustrating, but overall it's a lot of fun.
Magic - Magic is incredibly different compared to previous entries and is much more situational than spammed.
Story - The bromance is real and the characters are very likable and deep. You truly care for these guys by the time the end rolls around. Having said that, the overall story hits some speed bumps from time to time; some so egregious that there are future patches and DLC that Square-Enix plans to address these issues, but they shouldn't be there in the first place.

Add style to your gaming when you use this Microsoft Xbox blue controller. The wireless design lets you play from anywhere in the room, and an included microUSB cable lets you keep the controller charged and ready for use. This Microsoft Xbox blue controller includes rapid fire controls for accuracy when you play.
I was very suspect in the quality in Microsoft's first run of XBOX One controllers. My 360 controllers went through quite a bit and not a one was ever damaged, whereas a simple drop cracked one of the controllers that came with my console. The new run of controllers has a noticeably better feel to the build quality. The addition of the 3.5mm jack is a welcome addition. Additionally, the new textured back makes the feel of the controller better all around. Lastly, the color on the controller is beautiful and quite stunning.
