Set off on a thrilling 3D adventure that takes you to places the Pok~mon franchise has never gone before. Pok~mon X travels to the breathtaking land of Kalos, a star-shaped, enchanting region brimming with stunning forests, buzzing cities and many brand-new Pok~mon. Gaze upon the wonder of the iconic tower in the center of Lumiose City, as you battle, catch and add to your Pok~dex an array of new Pok~mon that join the 640 you've already encountered. The Trainer is only as good as his Pok~mon, so get ready to fight for glory with the powerful new creatures at your fingertips in Pok~mon X.Meet Helioptile, a Normal- and Electric-type Pok~mon who can generate powerful electricity from sun-bathing to power machinery. While it may display a lack of bravery, its robust Parabolic Charge move makes up for it when Helioptile attacks everything around it. Its HP is restored by half the damage taken by those hit for a significant addition to your Pok~dex. Fletchling, a Normal- and Flying-type Pok~mon, may take adversaries by surprise, since behind its beautiful chirp and friendly personality lies relentless battle attacks, such as Flame Charge. In addition to doing damage, Fletchling's speed increases every time it unleashes this move. Normally sporting a leaf in its mouth and an intimidating glare, Fighting-type Pok~mon Pancham shows its softer side and lets out a smile when you pat its head. During battle, however, Pancham lets loose daunting moves, including Parting Shot, which not only lowers an opponent's Attack and Special Attack, but also allows Pancham to switch out for another Pok~mon in a Trainer's party during battle. Discover a new method of transportation with Gogoat, a large Grass-type Pok~mon who will gladly let you ride its back around Lumiose City. In battle, its Horn Leech move recovers HP equal to half the damage dealt by its move. With so much to explore and so many new Pok~mon to acquire, you're sure to happily spend hours lost within the world of Pok~mon X.

Great Adventure Game

My daughter and I had a great time playing this game. Its a fun adventure game. The characters you defeat are happy to be beat. And when you are beat the characters are there to cheer you up and encourage you to keep trying. The story is a bit weak but then again this is a Pokémon game for kids.

Its a Comic book

I will admit that I haven't read this book yet. I have flipped through the pages and looked at the art work. So far the images are impressive. Not Marvel AAA title impressive but good enough. The cover looks great and the pencil drawings in the back are really good as well. For $2.99 with the purchase of the movie I can't really complain.

My over all impression of this film is that the director was trying to tell a human story with Godzilla and MUTOS as the backdrop. This is not a revenge story. There is a missed opportunity here to give the Human characters a visceral motivation to kill the MUTOS. However, I don't think that is what the story tellers wanted. They wanted to show nature at its most terrifying and how humans are no more than ants to her whims and fury. In this regard I think the movie works quite well. However, with that said, there are some key items I didn't like about this movie. The professor from Monarch seems to spend the movie in shock and only snaps out of his thoughts when another actor asks him a question. That bothered me. And the end of the movie "fighting against the clock" sequence didn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense. But it's Hollywood so just go with it. Over all I think we was a fun movie to watch. Not as fun as Pacific Rim but fun for a Godzilla movie. At the very least we didn't get the World Wrestling Federation version of Godzilla which took over the Godzilla franchise. When one of these monsters goes through a building you can't help but wonder what the human cost in lives the collapsing of the building charged us. That's not something I ever expected to get out of a Godzilla movie. To that end I think the human story worked. Again, I don't necessarily agree with all of the Hollywood logic and tropes in this film. Suspend your disbelief for a little while and just enjoy it.

Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies are off wandering through an enchanted forest when they discover a mysterious tent filled with a series of captivating paintings. As they look more closely, they notice each painting seems to tell the story of a mythical world. While focusing on a painting that shows a medieval land, they are suddenly sucked into the painting, entering the world, and the adventure begins. The gang must run, jump and fight their way through each world to save the day and discover the secrets of every legendary painting.

An interesting take on a platformer

Over all this is a very fun, unusual, off the wall platformer. Some of the challenges are frustrating and some of the levels are super fun and simply there to entertain. There is a lot for everyone to enjoy in this game. I would recommend this to my friends.

Almost a Great Film
on June 22, 2014
Posted by: ITJim
from Maine
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the most part this is a great movie. However, the first 30 minutes really drags on. The introduction of Radagash is an odd choice but he is a colorful character. The only other big issue I have with this movie is geography. We have a scene of orks in a forest and then cut to the dwarfs running across open ground in the hills. Then, magically, we are in a valley. I'm all for showing off the great New Zealand landscape but let's have some consistency. If the chase is indeed lasting 10s of miles then the musical queues of urgency are misleading at best. But if you take it for what it is then you'll enjoy this movie. The second one, however, is much better.

Great blast from the past

This is the original Godzilla film as shown to US audiences. I've only watched the US release thus far so I can't comment on how the Japanese version differs. I can't help but feel that the original movie was spliced together with an American actor delivering his scenes outside of the original story. Regardless, this is the original monster film that led to some of the best sci-fi B Cheese of my childhood and probably a good many reading this review.

Three movies for the price of one

This is a three movie compilation: 300, Troy, and Alexander Revisited. I do like the first two films on the list. I feel that 300 is the strongest out of the bunch. Apparently the producers felt the same way because they recently released a sequel: 300 Rise of an Empire. Troy is, well, Troy. And Alexander Revisited is probably the most ambitious flob I've seen in a very long time. This movie has the potential of being an A+ film instead of giving us a movie we get a disjointed travel back and forth across Alexander's time stream. Doctor Who would have gotten lost with all of the time jumps between scenes. If it weren't for Alexander Revisited I would have given this collection 5 stars.

This release combines the previous separately released two parts of the animated adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns, and includes a documentary that focuses on Frank Miller's work creating the original influential graphic novel.

Awesome Batman Movie
on June 22, 2014
Posted by: ITJim

Verified Purchase:Yes
The world is changing, super heros are banned for some reason, and the world of Gotham is falling apart without the Batman to keep things in check. The only problem is Bruce Wayne is an old guy. But Bruce Wayne isn't like other grumpy men. He doesn't show stupid kids off his lawn with his grandpa wrinkled upturned fist. He kicks the kids butts. Things just get better from there. The pacing is quite good for the entire feature. The only thing I didn't like so much was the portrayal of Superman and President Reagan. It is disturbing to see the relationship these two form however I feel that there is a back story missing here that just isn't quite realized in the movie. Otherwise I did enjoy this movie and I'm sure that you will to.

Game on the go with the Corsair Gaming K65 gaming keyboard. This keyboard lacks a number pad, making it more compact and leaving more room for your mouse to move. Its detachable, soft-touch wrist wrest limits wrist fatigue. The Corsair Gaming K65gaming keyboard has Cherry MX Red key switches for added responsiveness along with customizable backlighting and anti-ghosting keys.
 

What cherry switches come with it?
