An interesting jaunt through a terrifying location

As Above So Below is an average horror film, but what pushes it into that realm is the back story. Most horror films are just, kids show up, kids die. This story has more going for it, and tries to have some depth and meaning to the events taking place. The catacombs location also makes for some very interesting ideas and situations, plus knowing that place is real kind of makes it a little more haunting. It is a fun movie, but by no means a must own.
You've searched castle after castle for the princess, slid through too-many-to-count number of pipes, ridden Yoshi on thrilling adventures and tossed fireballs, flown, stood still like a statue and swam underwater. You've completed every level, found every warp world, battled with Bowser every time. You know the iconic levels so well, you can complete them with your eyes closed. Well, not any more.Get ready for the most creative, exciting and challenging Super Mario game to date with Super Mario Maker. Design, create and play your own levels on your Wii U GamePad, and then explore those levels created by Nintendo and players from around the world. Use your GamePad's touch screen to add enemies, blocks, pipes and more. Combine enemies, traps and items into unexpected twists to break conventions and add unique challenges. Choose from four distinct themes, such as Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U, each with unique art styles and features. Drop in the Mystery Mushroom item to transform into different characters at random, and unlock additional characters by completing 100 Mario Challenge mode or tapping in compatible amiibo figures. Are you ready to speed through courses in record fashion, battle Piranha Plant-shooting cannons, boost your abilities with powerup-tossing Lakitus and take on the Hammer Bros. riding on Bowser while bouncing on trampolines? Better yet, do all that, and then show off your own ideas.

The barren landscape stretches out before you, seemingly unending with no signs of life and no relief from the relentless sun. As you navigate your battering ram of a vehicle over the remnants of a long-abandoned highway, you contemplate this existence you call life. There is no mercy in this post-apocalyptic world and no solace ~ only the instinctual quest for survival and the cold comfort that is vengeance. You've become a lone warrior, a reluctant hero, but only because your choices were that or death. The only thing that gives you any hope is the thought of leaving this madness behind and finding peace at last in the storied Plains of Silence. You are Mad Max, and these are the end of times.Embark on a dangerous journey through the Wasteland that is this post-apocalyptic world on a quest to retrieve your Interceptor, which has been stolen by a deadly gang of marauders. Take on each foe with brutal moves and combos that are your only chance of beating the deranged bandits of the Wasteland. Scavenge the landscape for the scraps you need to craft and upgrade equipment, vehicles and weapons ~ your lifelines in this unforgiving setting. With the ability to construct the ultimate war vehicle by choosing from dozens of customizable parts and upgrade combinations and arming your vehicle with a slew of deadly weapons, you can annihilate enemy vehicles in dynamic, physics-based vehicular combat. As you explore the vast, open-world environment of the Wasteland, take on unique missions and side quests, eliminate eccentric bandits and battle savage gangs. There's only one thing to live for now ~ revenge.

You are Mad Max, in a post apocalyptic world where the mad rule and you are fighting to survive. Build up your character and vehicle through a ton of customization options to help you tear up the wasteland how you please.
You play in the open world of the wasteland. The world is sprinkled with missions to do and secrets to find. You will take missions from wasteland leaders who you help to retake their territory, while upgrading their base and allow them to help you collect scrap (which is used to buy upgrades). Combat plays out a lot like the Batman Arkham series when on foot in hand in to hand fights.
The game is a total blast and nonstop action! I highly recommend this to any action game fan or curios fan of the film Mad Max: Fury Road.
Eight friends trapped together on a remote mountain retreat, and they aren't alone. Gripped by dread, with tensions running high, they must fight through their fear if they all hope to make through the night in one piece.Play as each of the eight characters, and experience fear like you never have before. Every decision you make in your terrifying search for answers could mean the difference between life and death, but for whom? Your actions alone will decide who survives Until Dawn.

Until Dawn is a PS4 exclusive title that puts the player in control of 8 friends who return to a family lodge in the dead of winter to re-connect. The player will search for clues and try to survive the night while solving simple puzzles and reacting to QTEs.
The graphics in this game are top notch and some of the best seen on the system yet. The lighting and character models really feel like you are watching a movie at times with the way the in game camera frames a scene.
The story is paced well and pays homage to horror films of the past, keeping players on the edge of their seat through chases and jumps scares as they try to keep the 8 character alive throughout.
Every choice the player makes can effect the outcome of a scene, where the story goes, who lives and dies. The Butterfly Effect mentioned in the game features branching paths that allows for major replayablity to see how different the story will be based on your choices.
Highly recommended for any horror fans on the PS4!

Relive all four Jurassic Park films through the power of lego! Unlock secrets, and over 150 characters as you smash, drive, climb and build your way through every level of both islands from the hit films.
This game follows the usual LEGO formula at this point, and is kind of restricted compared to the LEGO Marvel game due to it having to stick to the films narrative and setting. That does not stop you from having a good time with all the characters and the great soundtrack!

The definitive chapter of the Arkham series. Batman has to take back the city from the forces of the Scarecrow and the new foe, Arkham Knight. Take back Gotham one district at a time, by tearing through the enemies ranks as the Batman or in the new and awesome Batmobile.
