Fantastic graphics and play. "Ok" online

Absolutely a blast in presentation and gameplay, but had mixed results when attempting to find and play opponents online. Lobbies have extra layers making it difficult to get into a match, and sometimes lag is an issue even in recommended "Only find good ping" Ranked matches.

Someone must restore order to Thedas and put an end to those who seek to destroy the land. It's time to lead the Inquisition — a band of legendary heroes and the only hope of Thedas — and wage a war to end this reign of terror.Dragon Age: Inquisition throws you into the building unrest in Thedas and challenges you and your band of comrades to restore peace to the land. Plunge into the conflict as you become an Inquisitor, lead your companions through a chaotic land and battle massive creatures. Build friendships and rivalries as you engage with a vast group of characters and develop dynamic relationships. Enter a vibrant open world and explore secret caves, expansive plains and rocky coasts and enjoy arresting visual realism, thanks to Frostbite 3. Wield the power to forge your own destiny and that of Thedas itself as your choices and actions influence story outcome and physical aspects of your world. Take control of your gameplay experience by customizing the appearance and abilities of your Inquisitor, companions, outposts and strongholds. Decimate opponents by crafting your forces and developing a unique style of combat. Enhance your gameplay with this Deluxe Edition, which includes a variety of digital content.

The dangers are many on this perilous campaign — do you have what it takes to deliver Thedas from the grip of destruction?

Absolutely a blast, with a LOT of content. But with this content there are a couple bugs to look out for. First: Get out of the opening area as soon as you can. If you continue here, you'll power-level and become invincible for the rest of the game. Sounds cool, but sucks the challenge out of the combat. Also, lots of weird bugs like voice swapping, so be careful and have many back up saves to revert to if needed.

A fun collectible but adds very little to the game. Just not really worth it, but might be fun as more titles add support. With the new Zelda WiiU game coming this year, I'd expect to see support for this guy!

Absolutely a blast multiplayer. The adapter is a great companion if you have the wavebirds or gamecube controllers to go with it. Note, it does take 2 USB slots to run and power the adapter!

Matchmaking issues

The game's extensive list of different playlists suffers from connection issues. That they've limited it to a small selection of playlists means either there aren't enough players or something is really broken that they can only manage with a swell of people in a couple of lists. Otherwise, should be good once it's fixed, but that it's launched broken and has been for about a week is terrible support.

Paris 1789 — the once-hub of cultural and intellectual activity has been thrown into bloody chaos in the midst of the tense French Revolution. Commoners have become tired of the oppressive regime of the aristocrats and have finally gathered the courage to confront the hierarchy with the pangs of the present inequality. As the nation of France tears apart at the seams, splitting into different factions, a young man named Arno sets off on a journey to reveal the true powers behind the Revolution. In the process of seeking the truth, Arno must face a ruthless struggle as he seeks to carve out a new destiny for the nation he holds dear.From the storming of the Bastille to the execution of King Louis XVI, experience the French Revolution in all its remarkable, gory detail as never before in Assassin's Creed: Unity. With an all-new game engine, Revolutionary Paris is rendered in incredibly realistic detail, letting you freely explore the open world of 18th century Paris. Navigate your way through complex building interiors, discover secret catacombs and slink through sewer systems. Featuring realistic, systemic crowds of up to 5,000 AI-driven characters, you'll feel as if you're truly in the throngs of the city. Play as Arno — a developing Master Assassin — embarking on ancestral missions, treasure hunts, murder mysteries, contracts and other heart-pounding adventures. Eliminate enemy threats with a wide range of new weapons, including the Phantom Blade, which combines a hidden blade with crossbow capabilities for ultimate devastation. Utilize full-motion control with parkour mechanics, so you can freely run up, down and across city walls and buildings. Want to remain discreet? Enhanced stealth gameplay makes it easy to stay hidden as you stalk your prey and strike without warning. Customize your play experience by choosing from hundreds of possible combinations of weapons, gear, outfits and specialized skills. Take part in an epic single-player campaign or join up with 3 friends online. You and your lethal band must rely on communication skills to successfully accomplish a slew of missions — sabotage an execution, protect an emperor, assassinate a Templar agent and more. Do you have the skills needed to reverse the fate of an entire city?

Sadly, the game runs at a poor frame rate in various circumstances. If you run around the same zone for awhile, it seems to even out, but plummets if you are going pretty fast between districts, or fast travel and immediately sprint, or worst: some of the tutorial combat scenarios and smoke bombs.
No one wants to play, which also kills the co-op. Overall, a stinker. By the time it's patched everyone will have moved on.

An epic airborne attack on the top of a jet as it screams through a downtown city. A thrilling skirmish against a frightening Cyclops, who bears a whip for an arm, atop a speeding train. An adrenaline-pumping ascension to the roof of a skyscraper as you duke it out with a demonic dragon, intent on killing you. Bayonetta 2 delivers jaw-dropping battles and insanely intense brawls against daunting adversaries in a climactic sequel to the original Bayonetta action game. From gorgeous cutscenes and arresting set pieces to endless action, this is a game that will have you spending a lot of time on the edge of your seat.To take the action even further, Bayonetta comes to this epic sequel armed with an arsenal of new weapons and abilities. She keeps her enemies under control with amazing moves and torture attacks, including the mighty Umbra Climax, which summons demonic monsters and boosts Bayonetta's attack range. Harness the power of a devastating arsenal with new weapons, including the Kafka, a bow that shoots poisonous arrows, the Rakshasa, a pair of gorgeous katana blades and the Chemobog, a massive rifle-inspired scythe. Bayonetta's fellow Umbra Witch, Jeanne, takes her side in the game as a nonplayable character to enable devastating combination attacks and help her dole out intense punishment for their enemies. Decimate foes with a friend in Tag Climax, a two-player online co-op mode. Earn halos by defeating enemies, wager them in online quick matches and earn hefty sums by coming out on top. Trade in your halos in a story mode shop to unlock brand-new techniques and buy accessories and alternate weapon variations that take your combat skills to the next level. Prove your dominance in battle by earning Stone, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Platinum Plus medals at the end of each chapter that reflect your skill level. Hone your abilities with three levels of gameplay designed to accommodate players of different skill levels, each more challenging than the last. Experience the game in two separate ways — in Normal mode or Touch mode. Normal mode brings back the much-loved technical control scheme introduced by the original Bayonetta game, while Touch mode allows you to use your Nintendo Wii U GamePad controller's touch screen to manipulate Bayonetta's movements, attacks and evasions. You can also pull the on-screen action off of the TV and onto your GamePad. You can even relive the excitement of the first chapter in this epic series with the included original Bayonetta. Get ready for the thrill of the lifetime. Bayonetta has made her return in full force.

The inclusion of Bayonetta 1 helps seal this deal. I've been curious to try it, and probably wouldn't have jumped on the sequel without it. By offering it here, you don't need to find a used copy for 360, which would be an additional $20 or so.
