Far Cry but very primal

I love the Far Cry series. True to the nature of UBI Soft they keep the basic mechanics of the Far Cry games essentially the same but this time your transported 10000 years ago. No fancy sniper rifles, grenades, vehicles or flying devices. This time you have bows, spears, clubs you throw bee's nests and control an owl. I had read some other reviews and some people don't like it. Well with this version you cannot sit there at 1000 feet and pick off bad guys with your sniper rifle. The graphics are incredible and the store line keeps you going. There are tons of side quests that keep reforming so you can easily level up and get more skill points.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III is the ultimate 3-games-in-1 experience. In Campaign mode, you must navigate the hot spots of a new Cold War to find your missing brothers. Players can play the campaign cooperatively or solo and are now always connected to the intelligence grid and their fellow operatives during battle. Multiplayer features a new momentum-based chained movement system, allowing players to fluidly move through the environment with finesse, using controlled thrust jumps, slides, and mantling. Black Ops III multiplayer also introduces the new Specialist character system, which allows players to master 9 characters' battle-hardened weapons and abilities through a challenge-based unlock progression system. No Treyarch title would be complete without its signature Zombies offering. "Shadows of Evil" has its own distinct storyline right out of the box, set in the fictional 1940s Morg City, where four particularly troubled individuals — the femme fatale, the magician, the detective, and the boxer — star in this film-noir inspired horror story.

Another in a line of Multiplayer FPS games

The call of Duty Black Ops franchise has been good quality since day one. However, it really is just more of the same. I would like to see them make a game that has about 100 hours of campaign. Like other games of this nature you keep repeating the same map over and over. It is fun, but for gamers of my nature the fun is relatively short lived.

Every Samsung Galaxy phone gets better.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my third Samsung Galaxy Phone. Each one gets better and better. To be valid though, the BETTER is mostly in the Operating System. As far as the phone hardware goes, this one is kind of a battery hog. The camera is incredible. I love the larger screen. My next phone in 2 years will probably be whatever the current Samsung Galaxy phone is. Apple was smart to try and duplicate the Samsung Galaxy line.

Not really intended for protection against abuse. However for the money I find it to be more functional then cases that were more expensive. My daughter uses it with her Galaxy Tab 2 and it does good job propping it up so she can watch in instructional videos.

I normally use this table as an eBook reader and to watch movies. For which it works fine. I replaced a Tab 2. However the Tab 2 seems to be faster. This tablet does give me some issues with certain apps like AMC and other streaming TV services. However, the resolution is great.

Good tripod for the price. However the action is a little sticky. But then again this is not a high end tripod. Manfrotto makes quality products. Not suitable for heavy rigs but great tripod for the occasional tripod shooter.

No one could possibly imagine that the chaos of today was just the beginning, the start to the dark danger of tomorrow. Who could predict that the terrible pillaging done by the Nilfgaardian Empire, the ravaging of the Northern Kingdoms and the uncertainty of these restless, miserable times are mere child's play compared to the otherworldly threat that looms closer than ever? Don the sword of Geralt of Rivia once again — but this time, the rise and fall of monarchs and battles with legendary monsters are nearly fond memories compared to the danger you now face. This time, that which matters most and those dearest to your heart are in peril. It's time to embark on your most personal quest yet to save your loved ones and protect the world from an ancient threat.Wrap yourself in a character-driven, open world based upon Andrzej Sapkowski's seven-book series — a world that teems with life, nonscripted events, unforgettable quests and action-packed adventure. Play as Witcher Geralt of Rivia, a highly skilled monster hunter, as you become immersed in the mature storyline, where every choice you make is meaningful and consequential. As you freely traverse each varied land on foot, on horseback or by boat, you'll experience different ecosystems, unique cultures and diverse atmospheres. Every decision you make along the way not only impacts your storyline, but affects the world around you — deep interactive environments that depend on your actions. Experience a jaw-dropping combat system that combines real-time player skills with RPG mechanics rooted in character development stats that interact with advanced opponent AI. More than 90 combat animations, a wide range of tactical options, an intensely detailed Witcher Senses system and combat with unique and dynamic enemies create an amazingly complex battle experience that mimics the sequence of a true huntsman. Concoct potions, elixirs, pyrotechnic devices and more with a highly intuitive Alchemy system, and create items from advanced crafting mechanics that have more influence on gameplay than ever before. This classic, dark fantasy tale not only provides you with an immersive gameplay experience, but also offers stunning RED Engine-powered graphics and untold freedom that truly transports you from your living room to a breathtaking, cinematic Witcher world.

Maintains the integrity of the series1

I have enjoyed each of the Assassins Creed series (other than #1 which was not very compatible with PC Version). I don't mind that it is solo campaign all the way as that is my normal mode of play. I am really happy to see ship to ship fighting back. Some reviews I read on it for console complained that they didn't improve the existing machine as they have with each previous version. But that is OK. It was refreshing to take a very different spin on the story.

Don't let your Fitbit Charge run out of juice while you're on the move. Stay prepared while you exercise with this Fitbit FB155RCC charging cable, which is designed to refuel Fitbit Charge wireless activity trackers. The 10.2" cable easily slides into your gym bag.
 

I am trying to replace my charger for my fitbit charge, not fitbit charge HR. Ordered one on Amazon but it is labeled Charge HR What is the difference? and which one should fit my fitbit?

You will need one specifically for a Fit Bit Charge. I originally picked up the HR model. But my daughter told me it would not work. So I brought it back to Best Buy and they swapped them for me.

Grand theft Auto Episodes from Liberty city

I just bought a Gateway NV59C Notebook and it has an Intel I3-330M processor and Intel HD graphics card. so i was just wonderign if GTA Episodes from liberty city would work on it???
Great little notebook you got there.

However, it was designed for social media, web, email and streaming video.
Your going to have a very hard time playing GTA on your system. It may load up but you will have to reduce all the graphics to the bare minimum and even then it may jerk a lot.

I would like to purchase games and software for my HP Net Book. Do Best Buy carry HP Net Book products?

Great little computer. However, the bad news is you pretty much restricted by the processor, low RAM and the on board graphics. Netbooks simply were not built to play games.

civilization4 play on widows 7

You should not have a problem. At the time it came out it was built for XP. I have not had a problem in stalling XP games on 7.

That being said, Civilization is one of the greatest Computer Game franchises ever.

Civ IV was good. Civ V blows it out of the water.

Do you sell games for apple computers?

It is not so much of retailers carrying a lot of Apple Games as lack of developers who make them. The market is small for Apple games. That being said, EA makes a few. Your actual best bet for Apple game is the iTunes Store

Computer golf game

I would like a computer golf game
Oh goodness a buddy of mine and I would sit around for hours on rainy days when we could not be out golfing playing it on my computer. Back in those days I considered Links Golf to be one of the best. We also had a gold game for Nintendo Wii that you had to do the swing yourself.

I have not played it but I seen it in a demo. "The Golf Club" From HB Studios looks to be a VERY good simulator

Do you need special games for Vista?

I assume you mean for a computer loaded with Windows Vista?

Windows Vista was an operating system that went out of support in 2009.

That being said, there are still games that will run on Vista. However, the number is decreasing. When you look at a game it should have minimum system requirements on it. Below is an example.

CPU: Core i3-550 / Phenom II X4 955
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only)
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 / Radeon HD 5770 1 GB
Free Disk Space: 20 GB

If you do a Google Search for "Vista Compatible Games" there are a couple of good hits for games. And some of these games were world class at the time and still a lot of fun

do you have any hidden object pc games? to down load?

Personally I love hidden objects. I got hooked when Waldo first came out.

You will probably not find a lot of hidden object games available at many retailers as there seems to be a lot of free programs.

At one time Best Buy did carry Hidden Object Adventure, but it was on the shelf. Only $10 to $15 and I picked it up during Christmas shopping season.
