Classic Cure, sounding better than ever
on July 13, 2016
Posted by: gamerdad
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Head on the Door is a classic Cure cd, and one of the best at balancing both the pop and moodier tracks that are the cornerstone of Robert Smith's extensive catalog. The deluxe version is remastered, resulting in greatly improved sound. Although the Cure had already released the 4-cd juggernaut of b-sides Join the Dots (also highly recommended!), there were apparently still some great rarities in the vault to include on this re-release. Overall, this is a highly recommended package for either Cure aficionados or newcomers that Best Buy offers at a great price.

Mind blowing instant classic!

I was cautiously optimistic when I checked out Fury Road on opening night at the theater, but nothing could have prepared me for the creativity and insanity that I was about the enjoy. I grew up watching the Road Warrior, and Fury Road represents a dramatic enhancement of everything that classic. There are jaw dropping visuals, ridiculous stunts and actions scenes, and it makes you think as well.

Tom Clancy's The Division is a revolutionary next-gen experience that brings the RPG into a modern military setting for the first time. In the wake of a devastating pandemic that sweeps through New York City, basic services fail one by one, and without access to food orwater, the city quickly descends into chaos. As an agent of The Division, you'll specialize, modify, and level up your gear, weapons, and skills to take back New York on your own terms.

Great graphics and fun gameplay

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am not a big coop gamer in part since I am middle aged and lack peers who play. Nevertheless, I have been enjoying the Division campaign. The graphics are really great, and the environment of post-apocalyptic New York is well conceived. Although the gameplay is actually quite repetitive (ie the bosses and progression of each story mission are hard to differentiate), but overall it is fun to play. The RPG elements are enjoyable and not too demanding, and is always enjoyable to find some upgraded gear.

The Cure at their most bizarre
on July 13, 2016
Posted by: gamerdad
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Top is among the most bizarre and varied Cure cds. Beginning with the brash Shake Dog Shake and ending with the sullen title track, the album takes some adventurous twists and turns in between. This deluxe version is remastered with great sound as well as a second disc of strong rarities. Plus, Best Buy has a great price on this deluxe version!

Cure in Transition
on July 13, 2016
Posted by: gamerdad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Seventeen Seconds is a fantastic cd that finds The Cure in transition between their pop/punk origins and their later moodier releases. The result is a highly original combination of these elements that can be heard on classics such as A Forest, Play for Today and M. This Deluxe version is remastered with great sound and does not have as many non-album tracks as some of the other re-releases, rather in favor of live versions, but overall is a great package for the price.

Could have been better, but still enjoyable
on July 13, 2016
Posted by: gamerdad
Verified Purchase:Yes
As someone who enjoyed the original Mirror's Edge, much of the gameplay elements that made that game unique remain enjoyable in Catalyst. It is just plain fun to tear through the futuristic setting and defy gravity. The downside is that the mission content is a bit thin and sometimes nonsensical (ie this flower needs to be delivered in less than 45 seconds or else), but that does not detract too much from the fun and originality of the game.

Pretty fun

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a little skeptical about Far Cry Primal. I had enjoyed the last two Far Cry games, but worried that this release would be watered down. This game turned out to be a lot of fun, though, and I ended up completing a lot of the optional content just because I enjoyed roaming the wilderness with my bow.

Great conclusion to a memorable character
on July 6, 2016
Posted by: gamerdad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Based on the quality of the previous titles, it is no surprise that Uncharted 4 turned out to be another classic from Naughty Dog. The game builds upon the long history of Uncharted and treats the player to amazing graphics, mind-blowing action sequences, and some dramatic tension and character development to boot. Notably, the game's exotic environments evolve over time, providing impressive depth to each chapter and location. The game starts off a bit slowly to establish the story, similar to the Last of Us, but this introduction pays off when the game kicks into high gear. Highly recommended to any gamer and welcome to those who switched to PS4.

Go back to the beginning in this reimagined version of Ratchet & Clank for the PlayStation 4. Its deepened origin story is revealed through over an hour of cinematic movie sequences, and the new planets, game play and boss battles keep the experience fresh. Protect the Solana Galaxy again with the robust arsenal of weapons in Ratchet & Clank.

Return to form
on July 6, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have played through most of the Ratchet and Clank games on PS3, beginning with some fantastic entries, but leading to some so-so recent entries. However, the Ratchet and Clank PS4 version is a real return to form that revisits the fun and quirky nature associated with the franchise. I would definitely check it out if you are either a longtime Ratchet and Clank fan or a noob!

Great game!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a little reticent to pick up Dark Souls 3 due to its notoriously challenging reputation. I had previously played through Bloodborne and enjoyed it, but had a lot of trouble getting through Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin Edition. Also, I don't have a lot of time to game, so repeatedly dying is not currently my cup of tea. However, I am definitely glad I picked this up because it was a fantastic game! It has great graphics, atmosphere, character building, and most of all, memorable bosses. I started out fearing whether I was going to be able to make it, and ended up taking out every boss, including the optional ones. I would recommend paying close attention to make sure that you don't make a silly mistake that makes your life more challenging, but otherwise this is one of my favorite games of recent memory!
