Very well designed controller

I have a Nintendo Switch and this controller is a huge improvement over using the joy-cons. It's designed to be a lot like the X Box One controller, so if you like that one you'll like this controller as well.

2029 a female government cyber agent and the Internal Bureau of Investigations are hot on the trail of the Puppet Master - a computer virus capable of invading cybernetic brains and altering it's victim's memory. Created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and codenamed Project 2501, this 'hacker' is actually a prototype virtual agent which has now defied it's makers by seeking asylum within a new host body outside of the electronic net. Now the two agencies must maneuver against each another in a violent, high-tech race to capture the omnipresent entity. GHOST IN THE SHELL took the world by storm exhibiting a new dimension of anime with unprecedented and mesmerizing cinematic expression. Seamlessly merging traditional cel animation with the latest computer graphic imagery, this stunning sci-fi spectacle broke through the boundaries of mainstream animation with detailed artistic expression and a uniquely intelligent story line. The film has gone on to inspire a generation of filmmakers and has become the most revered anime feature of all time. Veteran anime writer/director/producer Mamoru Oshii, working in conjunction with the animators at Production I.G. (BLOOD THE LAST VAMPIRE, KAIDOHMARU, KILL BILL) brought to life Masamune Shirow's vision. This excellent cyberpunk thriller was co-produced by Manga Entertainment and enjoyed both critical and popular success at the U.S. box office and was the first Japanese animated film to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Top Video Sales Chart.

Classic anime film
on September 20, 2017
Posted by: Taras

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a classic anime movie that recently got a modern Hollywood remake. Personally, I think this original version is much better as it's less cliché and delves more into the philosophical aspects of what it means to be human. If you're a fan of anime or someone who watched the Scarlett Johansson flick and is now curious to see what the original movie was like, I highly recommend checking this out. There are some pretty significant differences that I don't want to spoil here.

Really cool anime series that's kind of a mix of the Walking Dead, Godzilla, and Spider-Man. I don't want to include any spoilers here, but if you're a fan of giant monsters and the whole survival horror genre then definitely check this series out.

Great amiibo for fans of Final Fantasy
on September 20, 2017

from Azusa, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're like me and remember the days when Final Fantasy VII was all the rage on the PS1, then this amiibo is a great nostalgia trip. I love it when Nintendo releases an amiibo of a popular third party character and this is a great one to have, especially with a new remake of the game currently in the works.

Great amiibo if you can find it

from Azusa, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was one of the lucky few people who managed to get this amiibo on release day without a pre-order (I'm writing this review much later). Personally, I think it looks really cool and should be a must-have for anyone who is into Zelda and/or amiibo collecting in general. I still haven't taken mine out of the box yet, but I know it can be used to unlock the "Fierce Deity Link" costume in Breath of the Wild.

Great Portable System
on September 20, 2017
Posted by: Taras
from Azusa, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the third 3DS I've bought and I love it! I have the old model 3DS XL as well and can definitely say this "new" model is an improvement. There are more buttons, which are useful when playing certain games like Resident Evil: Revelations and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. And there are also a few games that are exclusive to this "new" model, such as Xenoblade Chronicles. This version of the system has better hardware overall, built-in amiibo functionality, and a special eye-tracking camera that keeps the 3D effect working regardless of which angle you look at the screen from. My only minor complaint is that the brightness of the screen auto-adjusts itself and it can be slightly annoying at times. Everything else is pretty much what one might expect from a portable Nintendo console, which is to say that it's a great way to play video games. This particular "Galaxy" edition also has a nice look to it, which makes it more interesting than simply buying a generic 3DS. Overall, I highly recommend this system.

Good camera for the price
on February 13, 2016
Posted by: Taras
Verified Purchase:Yes
This camera is nothing spectacular, but it's probably the best one I've found for the price. Some online reviews I've read complained about focus issues, but I haven't experienced much of that yet. The trick is to lightly press the shoot button only halfway down to allow the camera to adjust its focus before pressing that same button down all the way to actually take the picture. This technique is even mentioned in the instruction manual. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the camera and don't have any major complaints.

Agency approved. Retro classic frame fused with futuristic technology, Intercept completes the line between style and science. This hinges anchor injected temples. An ergonomically balanced frame supports precision optics. Polished logo plates create low-key accents subtle enough for any undercover recruit.

Good for people who game a lot
on November 18, 2015
Posted by: Taras
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently got a gaming PC and have been spending a lot of time gaming on it. These glasses help me ease the stress on my eyes a bit and seem to work well. My only complaints are that the lenses stain easily and they have a yellow tint that I find annoying. However, those are pretty minor inconveniences overall. 4 stars.

What Unity should've been
on November 18, 2015
Posted by: Taras
Verified Purchase:Yes
Most AC fans still remember the disaster that was last year's Unity launch. That game was infamous for bugs and glitches that were posted all over the internet. So I was understandably nervous about what Syndicate would be like. I waited for reviews to come out and decided I liked what I saw enough to give this game a chance.
Well the good news is that it is not the buggy, borderline unplayable mess that Unity was at launch. There are a few bugs here and there, but they are nowhere near as bad as in that previous game in the series.
As for the rest of the game, there have been a few new additions, but it still feels like the same old Assassin's Creed game everyone either loves or hates at this point. You can now switch back and forth between 2 main characters who both have their own personality and playstyle. And there are rope launchers in this game that provide a new way to traverse the city, which I thought was an interesting addition.
This is also the most modern AC game and it takes place in 1860's industrial London. Thus, there are finally drivable vehicles in the game, which take the form of horse drawn carriages. These give the game a more GTA feel at times, but they are still different enough to be their own thing.
I haven't finished playing this game to the end yet, but can honestly say that I like it. I know some people are getting tired of the Assassin's Creed franchise nowadays, but I'm not one of them. Being a fan of the series, my opinion may be a little biased. However, if you're into these kinds of games, there is really no reason not to get Syndicate.
In conclusion, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is what Unity should have been. It's a solid entry into the series that doesn't drastically change things, but attempts to add some interesting new ideas into the mix. 4 stars.

Does this model come with a charger?
No, it does not. It uses the same charger as old model 3DS, but you will need to buy a charger separately if you don't already have one.
