By now, you either like Halo or you don't. If you like first-person shooters for the multiplayer aspect and don't like Call of Duty or Battlefield, then this is pretty much the game for you.

Excellent Stealthy 3D Platformer

The Sly Cooper series started back on the PS2. Thieves in Time carries on the Sly Cooper series quite well. I think this game was a bit underrated by the critics. It's hard to find much fault here.

Nice vacuum for the money
on December 13, 2015
Posted by: Chris
Verified Purchase:Yes
This thing sucked up more dirt (and lint?) from my carpets than I realized was there. It made me feel good, but also kind of disgusted knowing that all that nastiness was there. The steering function works surprisingly well and makes maneuvering this vacuum very easy. It's relatively lightweight and I don't find it exceedingly noisy. It's unfortunate that it doesn't include a couple more hose attachments, like a wide pickup head. The suction with the tools attached doesn't seem very strong. Mine has occasionally made somewhat of a higher-pitched "whirring" noise. We'll see if that amounts to anything before the warranty runs out.

Worthy spiritual successor to Kirby's Epic Yarn
on December 13, 2015
Posted by: Chris
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's hard to find fault with Yoshi's Woolly World. It's another nice platformer from Nintendo and Good-Feel (Kirby's Epic Yarn). With lots of collectibles, secrets, and charm, it's challenging if you want it to be, but not frustratingly so. My biggest complaints are the graphics and maybe the music. While still excellent, compared to Kirby's Epic Yarn, I feel like the graphics/visuals weren't given quite the same attention to detail this time around. It could be the unforgiving 1080p HD resolution (compared to 480p for Epic Yarn), but it's occasionally a little too easy to tell that a lot of the textures are scans/photos of yarn/fabric. The music, while good, also sounds a bit generic compared to Epic Yarn's soundtrack. I know it's probably a bit unfair to compare this game to it's spiritual predecessor, but having played both, it's a little hard not to. Still, in my opinion, Yoshi's Woolly World is definitely another must-have for Wii U's excellent lineup of exclusives.

Mostly Useless
on November 27, 2015
Posted by: Chris
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: It's KIND OF a PlayStation Vita (sans control input, screen, and touch screen functionality, the latter being the biggest issue) for a lot less money. It's relatively small. HDMI cable is included, although it almost has to be since that's the only video/audio output. Can be used to remotely stream games from a PlayStation 4 on the same network.
Cons: Some of the best, Vita-exclusive games (Tearaway, Gravity Rush, etc.) cannot be played on it. Expensive, proprietary memory cards. Missing some popular streaming apps (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.). Max resolution is 720p or 1080i. No surround sound, Dolby Digital, or DTS output.
Despite the pros seemingly outweighing the cons, this little black box is hardly worth the money (and I bought mine deeply discounted at about ⅕ the MSRP). If you already have a PlayStation 3, 4, and/or Vita, this little device really isn't going to do much for you. Unless there's a specific game you're wanting to play that's actually compatible with the PlayStation TV, your money is better spent elsewhere.
