Nintendo got it right again
on June 11, 2017
Posted by: Steelers2k5
from Atlanta, GA
The more I played the Nintendo Switch, the more I realized Nintendo got it right again. The ability to take your console with you is the biggest benefit of the switch. Or how about the ability to purchase extra docks so you can move it from room to room? What it lacks, it doesn't seem to need. Don't compare this to XB1 or PS4 hardware. It's not that and they aren't a Switch. Nintendo made a great little console that's very unique in it's own way. For me, this thing is terrific and I'm very pleased with it.

Have the critics even played this game?
on February 17, 2014
Posted by: Steelers2k5
from Atlanta, GA
After reading a number of bad reviews on this game I initially passed on it. Amazon recently sold this game for $25 so I thought I would take a chance and pick up a copy. After further review, this game is fun and much better than expected. I played all of the first generation kinect games and most of them were bad. This game is very responsive and easy enough to understand. Certain arm and leg gestures perform combinations such as dodging and counter punching or throwing your opponent.
Here's the problem as I see it. Just like the Xbox One's interface, you have to be patient and work with this new technology. Critics claim the Xbox One's menu system doesn't work or is unresponsive but that's not true. If you learn the commands and issue them correctly the Xbox One works quite well. This game is similar. You have to slow down and perform the fighting moves/combinations correctly and everything works. You can't just throw your arms around and get frustrated because you think Kinect isn't working. Also, the combination attacks are actually cut scenes. So you have to wait until the cut scene is over before you can expect Kinect to pick up your moves. I truly believe that's most of the critic's problem with the game. They are performing moves such as a kick during a cut scene and thinking it's not working. Do the kick after the scene and you'll find everything works. For example, using both arms if you push towards the Kinect it sends a command to pick up and throw your opponent. This starts the cut scene I'm talking about and you'll be tempted to want to kick your opponent while he's on the ground. But the cut scene doesn't end until you opponent stands back up. So if you start kicking while he's on the ground, your doing the kick motion during the cut scene and it might give you the impression it's not working. The cut scenes are seamless which is why it appears to be a problem with the game. After you figure this out, you'll wait until the scene is over and resume fighting. That's when you'll see how much fun this game can be.
Try it out...especially if you can pick up a copy for $25.
What's great about it: Very responsive, lots of characters, fun, good exercise
What's not so great: No online fighting

Don't listen to the negative reviews. Having owned the Nike Fuelband, Fitbit Ultra, and MotoActv I can say the Fitbit Flex is my favorite device. Comfort and accuracy is what's important to me and Fitbit does it better than anyone else. I really like the stats and the ease at which it syncs to my iPhone/iPad. I know, it has a limited display but that might be the reason this thing is so lightweight and comfortable to wear. The 5 LED lights are just enough to communicate to me how my day is going. And the tactile response when I complete my goal is awesome. Fitbit tracks stats like no other device I've owned. And their website and apps are very nice. I highly recommend this device if you enjoy working out and looking at the stats over time.

What's great about it: Lightweight, comfortable, battery life, tactile response/silent alarm, stats
What's not so great: Only negative is having to take it out of the wristband to charge

This was one of the best movies from 2011. The visuals are well worth the price of the movie. I put this one off for so long because of the bad reviews about the animal killings but they were exaggerated. Disney did a good job of letting you know what takes place without showing you anything. Also, Samuel Jackson does a great job as the narrator.
What's great about it: Visuals, storyline, Samual Jackson's narration
What's not so great: Nothing

Not as bad as expected

I'm not sure why this movie received such bad reviews? The movie itself isn't bad. At times the action slows down but the visuals more than make up for that. If you can get this one on sale it's not a bad title to add to your bluray collection.
What's great about it: Visuals and special effects
What's not so great: Kind of reminds me of the fantastic 4 movies...not the best super hero movie but not bad.

2nd Best Kinect Title
on October 15, 2011
Posted by: Steelers2k5
from Atlanta, GA
For Kinect titles, this game is second only to Kinect Sports. The story and game play are terrific. You basically use your left hand to move the gunstringer around and your right hand to select targets and shoot. The controls are very smooth and the entire experienc works very well. And as an added bonus, you get Fruit Ninja which is another great game Kinect game.
What's great about it: Price, works well, Fruit Ninja bonus game
What's not so great: Could be longer...

Star Wars has never looked better...
on October 15, 2011
Posted by: Steelers2k5
from Atlanta, GA
Thank you George Lucus! Instead of releasing the movies individually and charging who knows how much per episode, they bundled everything up and only charged me $79 for everything. I can't tell you how many times I purchase a Blu-ray version and it doesn't seem much different than the DVD. But with this, some of the scenes on tatooine are terrific. I'm very pleased with the Blu-ray version and highly recommend it to any Star Wars fan.
FYI..ignore the posts about the added sound bites. It's not a big deal and I can't figure out why everyone is making a big deal about it. It's different but not as different as Jobba making an appearance in episode IV.
What's great about it: HD/Sound quality, extras, price, it's Star Wars!
What's not so great: Nothing...any Star Wars fan should love this.

One of the best Kinect games...
on July 24, 2011
Posted by: Steelers2k5
from Atlanta, GA
I have to admit, I wasn't sure about this game based on screen shots alone. But for some reason everyone that reviews this game likes it. And I have to agree, this is easily one of the top games for the Kinect. The soundtrack and graphics are fantastic and the story is well written. The game is challenging and gives a sneak peak at how the Kinect might pull off future shooter games. Everything is so fluid in this game...almost like conducting a techno orchestra.
What's great about it: Visually stunning, great soundtrack, easy to pick up and play.
What's not so great: Like all Kinect games, your arms will hurt the next day.

Your opponent's ball flies narrowly past the pallino, leaving you a clear opening to become the bocce champion. You take a deep breath before releasing the ball; it sails over the grass. The look on your opponent's face is priceless. Just when it seems like you have too much momentum, the ball slows to a halt, less than an inch away from the coveted pallino. You take a moment to celebrate and then quickly compose yourself. You've won the round, but this tournament isn't over yet.Challenge your friends and family with Game Party: In Motion, the game that transforms your living room into the ultimate arcade. Go head-to-head in games like darts, puck bowling, root beer tapper, table hockey and more. Thanks to the power of the Kinect sensor, you can play these games with your entire body, turning yourself into the controller. Great for parties and family gatherings, Game Party features a high-intensity tournament mode where you can battle it out with up to 15 other competitors. Challenge other families online or just let your friends know you're ready to play with automatic Facebook notifications on your wall. Try your hand at all 16 games ~ but be ready for a little friendly competition.

Better then expected

I normally read the reviews before purchasing any video game. And if the reviews are overwhelmingly negative, I avoid the game like the plague. But in this case, I’m glad I decided to pick this title up. The only reason I wanted to get this game was for the QB challenge which received positive reviews. But as luck would have it, I found several other games that make this a decent buy. Air hockey, bean bag toss, skeeball, horse shoes, and basketball are some of the other games that work well. The only thing that is kind of frustrating is the accept/back interface where you have to keep your right/left hand waist high to interact with Kinect. But once you get the hang of it, it’s not that bad. This game is not as good as Kinect Sports but most of them aren’t. Something else that helps is having enough room to play. Like most Kinect games, you need to stand back so the Kinect sensor can track all of your movements. If you can’t stand that far back, consider mounting the Kinect sensor above the TV for increased performance. An example of this is the basketball game. The Kinect sensor needs to see your hands above your head so it knows when you are releasing the ball. I’m guessing the accept/back navigation and proper sensor placement are the reasons for the bad reviews. But this is not as bad as others are saying if given a chance.
What's great about it: Price $20 (used reward zone points), QB Challange, Air Hockey, Horse Shoes and more.
What's not so great: Navigation...need to get the hang of it.

More extras would have made this great....

Posted by: Steelers2k5

Aside from the higher definition, I thought the purpose of spending extra for the blu-ray was the additional content? If you already have the DVD versions of the Kill Bill volumes you might want to pass on the blu-ray versions. The content is exactly the same as the DVD extras and the picture quality may not be enough to warrent the extra cost. But both movies are fantastic and make a great addition to any blu-ray collection.
What's great about it: Great movie, great cast (Uma, Darryl, Lucy, and Vivica)
What's not so great: Where are the extras? Exactly the same as the DVD version.
