Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land ~ the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will.

I had a Playstation Vita once, but was forced by circumstance to let it go. As much as I enjoyed the vita, I found myself wishing I could play its games on my TV screen while at home. Now, with the Playstation TV, I can do just that. In addition, so many of the digital playstation Vita games I already owned became available for me to play again, as well as my digital playstation 1 and 2 purchases that have been racking up over the years.
I consider this product to be well worth the money. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to work with my HDMI hub switcher, forcing me to plug it into its own individual HDMI port on the TV. Still, that is a small price to pay for the excellent functionality of the device.

What more is there to say that what is already in the title? I really enjoy the Playstation 4, and it has proven to be a purchase that was well worth my money.
I would warn that the charging cord for the controller that comes with the Playstation system is a bit short, so you may want to play on buying a longer aftermarket cord.

Honestly I had a blast playing this game at first, which was surprising to me. I only begrudgingly bought the game at the behest of my friends who all owned it, and wanted to play with me. I'm not huge on multiplayer games, and especially not loot grind games, but I picked it up and gave it a shot.
What I found was that I really enjoyed the experience for the first few days. I had a lot of fun playing around, finding things within the environment, and just hanging out with my friends. But then as I got higher up in levels all it seemed that there was left to do was grind through countless Strikes in order to progress, and the same friends that convinced me to get into the game were starting to get less involved themselves.
So I was stuck playing countless multiplayer missions with people I didn't know, and often enough those people would just drop off without warning, leaving the remaining party with a rough road ahead of them.
The game was a great deal of fun at first, but all too quickly it began to feel like work. But, gear grind games like this really aren't for me, so the fact that it drew me in as much as it did speaks volumes.

I have enjoyed my time with this game, though I found that something about the weapon balance felt a bit off. The maps were for the most part decent, though I didn't feel that any of them stood out particularly well.
My biggest con as far as the game goes is that the new mechanics of the game, that being the jumping mechanics as well as a few other perks, were locked into only certain gametypes, and other gametypes were left with the more oldschool CoD playstyle. I found that this really took me out of the experience, over all.
