And it's not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.In Watch Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (CTOS) ~ and it controls almost every piece of the city's technology and holds key information on all of the city's residents. You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to the city's network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy... and more.

I can't believe I bought this game in retrospect. Did I really expect this one to be good after the controversies that occurred? On paper, there are cool things in the game, but it's just so bland.

You are Talion, Ranger of the Black Gate. For what seems like eons, you have guarded the entrance to Mordor, keeping watch over Sauron's undisturbed dwelling place with relative uneventfulness.

Your family, your friends ~ even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief ~ vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land ~ the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will.

Based on the player's actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

The wind blows freely down the corridor of what was once a canyon of skyscrapers populated by million-dollar businesses, employees in suits and citizens on cell phones. A constant stream of yellow taxi cabs used to flow steadily down the asphalt streets. Now, Mother Nature has reclaimed what was hers, and vegetation engulfs the massive cities in patches. A modern pandemic outsmarted our civilized medicine, so our cities now lie abandoned, and what's left of the American population is forced to do whatever it takes to survive. Neighbors who were friends, now kill each other for a loaf of bread ~ or a rifle ~ whatever they can get their hands on to help them live another day. In this decimated democracy, two individuals join up to work together and attempt a dangerous journey across the country. Will these two be able to survive the trek ~ or will they be The Last of Us?Winner of more than 200 Game of the Year awards, The Last of Us plunges you into the future, where a brutal and deadly pandemic has ravaged the landscape of what was the United States for 20 years. A survivor who will do whatever it takes, Joel, has been hired to smuggle a 14 year-old girl, Ellie, out of a heavily fortified, military quarantine zone ~ but what starts as a simple job, quickly turns into an all-out fight for survival on a brutal trek across the country. Carefully blending elements of survival and action, The Last of Us defines a genre by placing you in the heart of the adventure. Rebuilt to harness the power of the PlayStation 4, The Last of Us Remastered features full 1080p high-definition visuals, higher-resolution character models, improved shadows and lighting and numerous gameplay enhancements to truly showcase the cruelty and stunning environments. Plus, Remastered contains all the DLC for the game, including eight new multiplayer maps in the Abandoned Territories and Reclaimed Territories map packs, as well as the critically acclaimed The Last of Us: Left Behind single-player campaign. Every minute of every hour of every day is a struggle to outlive the next person you encounter ~ do you have the mental and physical strength to make it?

I thought I'd highly enjoy this game. It looks great and plays great, but doesn't do anything particularly interesting plot-wise or gameplay-wise, so I kinda just forgot to keep playing.
Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle ~ not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

This was the most fun Wii U game I had, but I wish it had more replayability. Not just maps, but gamemodes are severely lacking. Luckily children love repetition so I think they'll be very happy.

This is a fun game, but I'm not competitive enough or playful enough to interact with this game. I think I'm just not a fighter person. But everyone around he had a great time so I can't imagine why I'd knock it any stars.
