2DS
on February 3, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this as a replacement for a broken 3DS. I do prefer the 3D display for some games, but the 2ds does everything else just as well. If the cartridge loader breaks again, though, I'll never buy another Nintendo handheld.

A little too action?

Good game, but too close to the pack. Tomb Raider should be more exploration and less battling.

The crime drama's third season takes on a darker and edgier tone, as it opens with the Machine missing and completely self-governed. Root (Amy Acker) has been confined to an insane asylum but is in constant contact with the Machine, while Finch (Michael Emerson) finds himself in a position where he's no longer the Machine's sole human contact. Meanwhile, Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Shaw (Sarah Shahi) continue their work preventing crimes from happening with the help of their usual NYPD contact, Det. Fusco (Kevin Chapman); and Carter (Taraji P. Henson), who has been demoted from detective to a uniformed police officer, wages a very personal war against the corrupt police organization HR. At the same time, new threats against Team Machine come to light, including Vigilance--a watchdog group committed to exposing overreaching government surveillance methods--and Decima Technologies, who tried and failed to take control of the Machine in the previous season and are now going to extreme measures to bring another surveillance system called Samaritan online.

What's all the hype about?
on December 27, 2014
Posted by: yelwarraef
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently bought all three seasons of the show, mainly because they were dirt cheap on Black Friday, and they are not available on Netflix. There seems to be a loyal legion of fans, but as I work my way through the series, I don't see it. The stories still seem to TV-ish. I guess I've been spoiled by shows like True Detective and Broadchurch. Acting is hit-or-miss, depending on the show. In the end, I find that I have to force myself to watch the series rather than just pop on a good Netflix drama.

Ok movie with some great performances
on December 27, 2014
Posted by: yelwarraef
Verified Purchase:Yes
The story holds this movie back. The Live/Die/Repeat angle robs the battles of the same power that they would have with higher stakes. By the mid-part of the movie, the "find the alien" plot gets a little tired. I enjoyed my first viewing (theater), but was bored during my viewing of the blu-ray. That said, the production and performances are excellent, especially for a sci-fi flick. Cruise is great in just about everything, but Blunt really steels the show here.

Awful acting
on December 27, 2014
Posted by: yelwarraef
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'll concede that the first 20 minutes or so are nice. The colorful wilderness and Narnia-esque characters piqued my interest. It was all downhill after that. Jolie's "Malifecent" was ridiculous, and the acting from the king and the prince were less than B-movie quality. Without spoilers, the dragon scene was the absolute biggest disappointment.

Quality sci-fi flick
on December 27, 2014
Posted by: yelwarraef
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am usually apologetic with sci-fi movies, because they're harder to pull off. Creating believable worlds isn't easy to do. Oblivion isn't spectacular by any means, and is mainly formulaic. But it does the action scenes extremely well, and the Earth presented here is interesting. I personally enjoyed the security droid and it's visceral machine gunning more than anything else--watch with the speakers turned up.

Surprisingly good

Posted by: yelwarraef
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not a huge fan of the first movie, but in joyed the battle scenes of HTTYD2. The voice acting was good, and the tone of the movie was serious enough to separate it from other similar animated movies. It's comparable to Owls: Guardians in that way.

There's no game quite like soccer, you think as you join your teammates for another brutal match. As you bask in the heat of the sun and the uproarious chants of the fans, it's almost overwhelming. But the promise of a win is nearly tangible in the air and you know what you have to do. Seconds after the kickoff you and 10 teammates — the best players in the world — claim possession and weave intricate patterns that decimate your opponents' defense. You deftly maneuver around another player and take the pass coming your way. One powerful kick is all it takes — the ball sails home past the goalie. Once more, you've proven you have what it takes to dominate the match.Step into the drama and action of soccer like never before with FIFA 15 as you experience all the furious competition of the game rendered in breathtaking realism. Battle the world's best players and witness their expressions of intensity, celebration and defeat detailed in lifelike accuracy with Emotional Intelligence modeling. Contend with the conditions of the pitch and realistic interactions between players, the ball and their environment with Physically Correct Contacts that re-create dribbles, touches, passes, shots and deflections in relation to the position of the body part or object with which they connect. Plunge into the physicality of head-to-head competition with intense Man-to-Man Battles that test your skills and endurance and establish dominance with Full-Body Defending. Move fluidly through opposing players on the path to the goal with responsive player control. Feel the heart-pounding rush at the heart of the game as you're surrounded by region-specific behaviors, cheers and chants from the crowd and insightful commentary with Dynamic Match Presentation. Immerse yourself in lifelike authenticity with grass that responds to the progress of a match with Living Pitches and Authentic Player visuals that ensure you don't miss a single detail. Take to the pitch with three friends in offline play or go online to compete with 21 other players. Victory is waiting to be seized — are you ready to make your move?

Small step forward

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is only a slight improvement over 14. I prefer the gameplay of PES, due to the different team play-styles and teammate AI, but I still play more FIFA due to the atmosphere, modes, and, above all-else, the lisencing. With no easy way to share files on next-gen for PES, football fans who want real teams will want to play FIFA, despite the pathetic teammate AI and similarity of each matchup. But I really hope PES is able to buy licenses like FIFA, because that's the game we should all be playing.

Great gaming TV
on December 27, 2014
Posted by: yelwarraef
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is not a smart tv, but that's fine if you're using a game console. You can't beat the vivid hot colors, deep blacks, and the refresh rate of plasma. The two drawbacks are the limited hdmi ports (use a pass through if that's an issue) and the awful stand. However, for the price, I am more than happy with the purchase. I sought out plasma and can't believe that this tv is about half the price of some comparable LED tv's.

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.

Slightly repetitive but awesome Nemesis system
on December 5, 2014
Posted by: yelwarraef
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'll admit that with the influx of October/November games, SoM has been put on the back burner for a while. That being said, I look forward to getting back into the mix soon. By far the most engrossing aspect is the Nemesis system, which allows for rivalries not only among you and numerous, powerful Orc leaders, but also plays out like a political game, allowing for you to intervene in the Orc hierarchy. Other games will copy this, and for good reason.
