Two movies shy of Excellent

Verified Purchase:Yes
I admit that the Bond series is a guilty pleasure and that I enjoy all of the inappropriateness and ridiculous action. However, when I buy a series I expect to have all the movies of the series. I understand not including the comedy "Casino Royal" as this was not a true Bond movie but not including "Never Say Never Again" with Sean Connery? Come on...

A City teetering on the edge of a bloody revolution. An oppressive regime subsisting on the rising tide of fear. An extraordinarily skilled thief lies in the shadows during this uncertain and troubled time, thwarting even the most cautious citizens out of their best-guarded possessions. But as the uprising, led by Orion, voice-of-the-people, begins to emerge, Master Thief Garrett finds himself entangled in the ever-tightening knot of conflict. The Baron's Watch refuses to ease their stringent regime, and Garrett's abilities may be the only thing that will prevent the streets from running red with the blood of the people. Will you redefine your role as Thief to save the City from a devastating fate?Slip into the silent shoes of the dark and solitary Master Thief and sneak through the City unnoticed and unsanctioned. Unmatched stealth skills make child's play out of the most challenging heists and place the most inaccessible loots within your reach as you infiltrate luxurious mansions and relieve the residents of their valuables. Explore the sick and suffering City, from the shady back alleys to the highest rooftops, and decide what kind of thief you are. Whether you choose stealth or force, you are well-equipped to get the job done ~ choose force and leverage Garrett's arsenal and eliminate guards with your blackjack, or shoot one of the many arrow types. Choose stealth and manipulate your environment to outsmart your enemies with newly acquired focus abilities. Either way, you'll find yourself deeply immersed in the game's unprecedented sights, sounds and artificial intelligence, made possible by groundbreaking visual elements. Thief represents a truly tactile and visceral first-person experience and the amazing power of your next-generation console. The time has come to decide your role in the revolution.

Nothing Spectacular

Basically I was excited that a thief game was going to be released for the ps4 and I waited for it to come out on that system instead of getting it on the ps3 which I also have. Honestly, I do not see any graphics difference or any reason to say spend a bit more on the ps4 version. Still a good game in the series.

The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience. The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play. The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later. PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita. All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update. Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply. PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

This system has great potential and the extra features such as linking to the portable, camera, controller feel, etc... all live up to the hype. However just like the PS3 and 2, it will be awhile until the awesome games are out living up to the systems' software potential.

Get ready for a thrilling adventure with your favorite characters, Rayman, Murfy and Globox. That little 100-year nap they took allowed hoards of creepy, crawly, nightmarish creatures to take over the Glade of Dreams. It's up to you to defeat these evil villains, dragons, giant toads, sea monsters, luchadores and more and save the Teensies from an awful fate. These monsters are the stuff of legends ~ do you have what it takes to be the hero who defeats them?In your quest to liberate the Glade of Dreams from the multiplying nightmares that have taken over the land, you'll experience adrenaline-pumping adventures, heart-pounding battles and skill-sharpening challenges. You must jump, run, punch and swing through every obstacle, while contending with the bosses as the adventure deepens. When the gang discovers a mysterious tent filled with paintings in the midst of an enchanted forest, you must ask yourself if you are brave enough to investigate. If so, you'll soon discover that the paintings are in actuality an entrance to a mythical world in which you must work to uncover the secrets of each legendary scene. Experience the thrilling adventure, which is set to music, as you zip-line during a guitar sustain, jump to the drum and punch along with the bass line. Call up your friends, it's time to take the action into online or offline co-op gameplay that lets up to three of your buddies jump in and out of the action without interrupting gameplay. Engage in 3D battles against bosses that can ~ and will ~ attack from all angles. Once you're ready to take a break from the action, check out the leaderboards to see how you rank. You won't want to take a break for long though, since this engaging, action-packed game is sure to suck you back into the addicting, mystical world of Rayman Legends.

if you are a fan of the original game(s) you will definately like this one. However if you are not nostalgic for them, the game can seem boring and unoriginal when compaired to other games out or coming out soon. The price may be more than some (non-fans) consider the game is worth.

A really great all-in-one for the home business while still allowing a great many games for the kids to play on. It has a good deal of ports as well. One issue i have is the the disk drive is hard to manually eject and I can see the possibility of breaking things if one does not eject using the right-click on the icon. I copied a shortcut to this on the desktop just in case.

It is a much better version in my opinion than previous versions. I also like that it is not 360 which requires paying over and over each year. But it is a windows system and will experience all the problems of such.

I bought this scanner mostly for the portability and to scan paperwork and ids for work. It is supposed to easily scan more than one document and combine them into one pdf if needed. I do not find this to be the case and the software wants to keep the pages seperate.

I needed this cord immediately so I bought it at the local store. It was expensive for the quality. I would recommend purchasing online for a better price if you do not need it immediately.

Will the network cable work outdoors?

I plan on using this 100 foot cable to connect my COMCAST modem to a wifi router in an adjacent building. Will this cable be suitable for outdoors?? If not - do you have other options??
I would not recommend this cable for the outdoors alone. I would speak to a salesman or call the tech support to see if there is a recommended cable for outdoor use. This cable would be fine if it was in piping but I wouldn't trust it uninsulated as it is.
