All it takes is the swipe of a finger. We connect with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and gear. We find out what's happening in the world. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an increasingly expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it's not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.In Watch Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (CTOS) — and it controls almost every piece of the city's technology and holds key information on all of the city's residents. You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to the city's network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy... and more.

If you're looking for a long GTA-style adventure to sink your teeth into, then this is it. There is a lot to do, plenty to explore, and numerous side missions to play. Personally, I wouldn't exactly call the graphics next gen, but they get the job done, and for the most part, are more than adequate. The one-button hacking function works really well, but it takes some doing to learn how to consistently control your vehicle when driving. Response is sluggish at best. Overall though, there is much to like about this iteration of Watch_Dogs, and I expect things will only get better in future installments.

I went into this film with low expectations, and the only reason I picked it up at Best Buy is because it was on sale and I was desperately looking for some new 3D to watch. The story is what it is, and I'll just leave it at that. But, from a technical perspective, this is an absolutely stunning 3D presentation and features a brilliant Dolby TrueHD lossless soundtrack. If you're looking for a title to put your home theater through its paces, this one will do the trick.

Megamind is an above average, 3D animated, super-hero parody that will entertain kids and is just clever enough, that adults can enjoy it, too. Will Farrell and Brad Pitt are the lead voice actors, and they portray Megamind and Metroman, respectively. It's the classic hero versus villain story, more or less turned on its head. The 3D animation is excellent, and it really is the primary reason to add this film to your library.

What's great about it: Better than average 3d effects help to make this one an easy recommendation.

I'm a sucker for these DC animated titles. I never miss one. That said, Superman deserves better, especially coming on the heels of the previous two Batman entries, which were both excellent. If you're new to the DC animated universe and you want some Man of Steel, check out All Star Superman or Death of Superman. Either of them is a better place to start than this, exceedingly average, Superman versus Braniac adventure.
This one is for completists (like me).
