Most viewers will compare this movie to Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" released in 1956 which is the gold standard that other Biblical movies about The Exodus are based upon.
The story is basically the same but with director Ridley Scott's interpretation of the events as they unfolded. Some of it was a little strange and didn't always use the literal writings from the Bible as the 1956 version did, for the most part.
I wasn't too impressed with this interpretation from my first viewing but after getting past some of the different takes on the story, it actually turned out to be an interesting film with awesome special effects, especially in 3D. It just didn't have the graceful flow or capture the feel of the 1956 version which made you feel like part of the movie or watching a superbly acted Broadway stage play in the more intimate moments amongst the characters.
The story in this version was mostly centered around the two main characters with some emphasis on the others at times. The previously-mentioned version made much better use of all the other characters which had some of the biggest names in entertainment at the time
It may not be the best movie about the Exodus or everyone's cup of tea but it's worth picking up at this low price.
The epic storylines, adrenaline-pumping action and explosive thrills are back. The Fallout franchise returns with Fallout 4. Grab your controller and get ready to dive back into the enveloping storyline of this legendary series.Get ready to return to the epic, award-winning franchise with Fallout 4. This newest chapter brings an all-new open-world environment to life, and has been created by Bethesda Game Studios, creators of Game-of-the-Year-award winners Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Will you be prepared for the next Fallout installment?
I'm not usually a fan of RPG/action games but Fallout 4 has won me over. It's probably because of the story about the aftermath of a nuclear war but mostly it's about the main character searching for his son after he was kidnapped. There's also the twist of him being frozen and awakening after 200 years in a place called the Vault which was part of some nefarious plot.
RPG games require a lot of time, patience and for you to be willing to search all the nooks and cranny's where items are needed to maintain, modify and construct weapons and other required items. It's not a game where you can beat it in a weekend and is like watching a TV series for a season or two.
The enemies can be difficult to stop and require progressively more powerful weapons which you acquire after locating the necessary parts or receiving them from other survivors after completing their requested tasks.
The game runs and controls smoothly on the XBOX One with a huge world to explore where you meet and talk to the survivors to get information about his kidnapped son. It also involves completing tasks to gain confidence and trust from the survivors who will help you after you assist them.
You get a lot of game at a great price and is certainly worth a try.

I have just recently started to play this game and am nowhere near completion since the game is huge in scope but I'll tell you what my thoughts are about it so far which is 10 hours into the game.
I'm not usually a big fan of RPG's but this game has grown on me because of the story and great action. I've previously played a little bit of Fallout 3 but stopped because it was too much stop-and-go which was breaking up the action. I normally like FPS such as the Battlefield and Call of Duty series.
Fallout 4 is almost the same as the previous release far as the game mechanics go but seems to be less of a chore. It is definitely a RPG which means you can really get into all the fine details if you want to or use the RPG elements minimally to keep things moving along. I personally enjoy the exploring of the huge world. The enemies can be tough so you'll need to be quick and an accurate shooter using the proper firearms which are really diverse and can be modified.
The graphics are excellent with smooth controls. The only minor complaint is the NPC's who can follow along with you to help in your missions sometimes get in the way or occasionally are of little help fighting the enemy but sometimes you'll need all the help you can get.
This is a game enjoyed in small pieces but it is sometimes hard to stop because you want to see what's awaiting you up ahead.

I haven't completed the game as of writing this review but I can tell you that this is a great game and a welcome change for FPS fans.
There is some searching for key items in order to progress but nothing that is too difficult to locate. There are also hidden bonus items which are mentioned in the objectives screen.
The action when fighting the mutants has you constantly moving with no place to hide. The gameplay and controls are smooth as can be with great graphics.
The game is definitely worth having in your library.

Titanfall 2 is a great FPS for any fan of the genre. The action and controls are smooth with great graphics on the XBOX One.
I haven't tried the multiplayer mode but the single player campaign is great where you get to use your skills while inside a mech and outside like a COD game. The wall-jumping takes a bit of practice but is necessary to proceed in the game. There's a "ghost" that will show you how to make the jumps if you need advice.
It's a fun game and a great addition to your collection.

I have never played the first Titanfall because there wasn't a single-player campaign but Titanfall 2 is great for those wanting that feature.
The graphics are great on the PS4 with smooth controls for both in and outside the Titan mech. It takes a little practice to learn the wall jumping but there is a "ghost" that shows how to make the jumps before you try it yourself. The sounds of the weapons have a realistic weight to them which adds to the excitement.

The premise of the game is very good in which you act as a secret agent involved in uncovering plots against people who have had their bodies augmented by artificial means.
The game requires a lot of searching for devices and parts to upgrade your augmentations but that involves a lot of back-tracking and hacking into secured areas or computers.
All of this slows down the pacing of the game and the combat isn't on par with other FPS like COD or Battlefield. You do get to use your augmented powers which are actually pretty cool, if they are available when you need them.
The graphics are very good with responsive controls.
I tried to like the game but everything seemed like a chore with all the emphasis on searching, talking to other people, reading text on hacked computers, etc.
The game isn't quite my cup of tea but if you like a more RPG-heavy type of game, then it is worth getting.
