Who would have thought there'd ever come a time when desperately searching the environment for what little resources you can find to survive was your idea of relaxing? While the daylight hours may be filled with scavenging for supplies and weapons, the fact that the sun shines in the sky eases your anxiety, because you know what happens the moment it dips beyond the horizon. With the dying light comes a host of horrors that turn the hunter into the hunted. Hoards of infected become aggressive and increase in numbers, searching for you as you searched for weapons to kill them just hours before. But the infected aren't even the most frightening threat. There's something else out there that lurks in the darkness, a more sinister predator that stalks its prey. You are that prey.Set in a vast and dangerous open world, Dying Light drops you in the middle of a waking nightmare in a first-person survival horror experience that will have your heart pounding and adrenaline pumping the second night falls. During the day, you're free to roam the expansive urban environment to scavenge for supplies and craft the weapons you need to defend yourself against the victims of a vicious outbreak. A variety of melee weapons, including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more, are at your disposal, as well as guns and other firepower. The sizeable crafting system enables you to create a slew of more powerful, more potent weapons and equipment with specialized ammunition. You'll need every weapon you can lay your hands on to survive the night ~ when the infected roam free and the night-loving predators begin their hunt. Whether you're tracking prey or evading predators, you can seamlessly leap between buildings, grapple up walls and pounce on enemies with free running movement. With breathtaking visuals and immersive gameplay, powered by Chrome Engine 6, you'll begin to fear the night right along with your character. But your only chance is to face the dying light and use every ounce of wit, skill and courage you have to survive until morning comes.

A very fun game despite some flaws.
on September 21, 2015
Posted by: rodericrinehart
I was surprised by how much fun I had despite some obvious flaws. It was a great game that I don't regret spending 40 hours on but they could improve the parkour a lot, make less fetch quests, and fix some annoying stuff. But again: FUN!

The shadows are his home and keeping Gotham's citizens safe is his sustenance. Darkness envelops his every move and his legend lives in the whispers of each passerby. Known by many names ~ the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, Batman ~ this man lives to protect. But by pitting himself against the criminals of a city, he has only made his laundry list of powerful enemies grow. One after another, a new and nefarious threat has risen up and one after another Batman succeeded in bringing them down. But what happens when those menacing masterminds join forces? Who will rescue Gotham when a deadly roster of depraved lunatics gangs up on the shadowed warrior? Who will save us all?The finale to the legendary Arkham series explodes onto your screen in the most adrenaline-pumping storyline yet. The Scarecrow has returned to Gotham City and he has united a terrifying team of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn. For the first time in the franchise, you get to step behind the wheel of the iconic Batmobile as you harness the power of Batman and scramble to outwit the wicked gang after your blood. Tear through the streets and soar across the skyline in heart-pounding gameplay that will suck you in and force you to ask yourself if you have what it takes to save Gotham. Do you have it within you to be the hero the city needs? Or will the villains of Gotham overtake the Dark Knight once and for all?

I HATED THE BATMOBILE SO MUCH.
on June 28, 2015
Posted by: rodericrinehart
Complicated review, even completely discounting the DLC rip-off and the PC fiasco, because I hated the Batmobile so much.
Only considering the PS4 game, it was a good but frustrating game. The graphics, voice acting, Batman combat, variety of things to do and open world were all great! BUT THE BATMOBILE WAS HORRIBLE. I REALLY WISH IT WAS IN THE GAME AND *REALLY* WISH IT WASN'T FORCED IN BOTH THE RIDDLER AND MAIN QUESTS. It was needed in like 30-40% of the game, which sucked. I really hated nearly everything about it and the it took a 9.5 to a 6, sadly.

It's the best game I've every played. Seriously.
on June 2, 2015
Posted by: rodericrinehart
SCORE: 99/100
The hype was worth it, and more. A morally grey world with the best quests ever made in a game. It is officially the best video game I have ever played in my life. It will stick with me forever.
The best story I've ever seen in a game and it rivals even Lord of the Rings for books and movies. It has amazing graphics, and continues to impress as you crank it to 1600p and ultra everything.
The most innovative and intriguing thing about the game is that decisions you make matter (without a simple good/evil bar), and often you will not know the extent of your decisions for hours or even tens of hours (none of this "so and so will remember that" from Telltale games and none of the simple and obvious good/bad choices of almost every other game ever.
It also has fantastic setting and lore, which pays lots of fan service to Witcher 2 fans (like me) but is absolutely accessible to people who never played either other game (like my wife). Finally, it is just plain ridiculously fun and never got old even after 135 hours.
Yes, it is a bit clunky to control (but only out of combat), the swimming is atrociously bad, the inventory cannot be sorted, and some other minor issues as well. But when you absolutely nail every other part of your game, it just doesn't matter.

Terrific story, amazing graphics, decisions that matter (without a simple good/evil bar), fantastic setting and lore, and just plain ridiculously fun.
I want to get lost in this game. I'm taking my time and exploring everything. Started on hard difficulty and resisting walkthroughs (unlike most games).

A real classic, but different from Red Dead or GTA

Another gem from Rockstar. More adventure and mystery than GTA or Red Dead Redemption, mind you, but Rockstar just makes amazing games.

As you explore the streets of New Marais, you can never let your guard down ~ in this world, fiery explosions incinerate entire buildings before your eyes, cold-blooded enemies attack with alarming accuracy and electricity is a dangerous and easily harnessed weapon. Do you have enough superhero in your blood to save humanity? Or will you continue down the path to become an inFamous destroyer?In this second chapter of Cole's adventure-filled saga, you control the story and decide what's right and wrong. This time, you have the power to make choices and decisions that could alter your future ~ and the fate of the world.

When you plunge into the dramatic, perilous world of inFamous 2, you'll discover what it really means to be a superhero. And here's a hint: it's not how you imagined it would be.

THIS IS NOT A LAPTOP, THIS IS A GOOGLE APPS HOLDER
By LaptopSeeker
First off, if I search for a laptop, Chromebooks should not be included. This is not what the typical Joe is looking for when they search for a laptop. Anyone that will be satisfied with a Chromebook will search for a Chromebook.
So when I purchased this so I could do some urgent work on the go, only to realize once it was already too late that this piece of plastic does not operate any Microsoft applications, it was extremely annoying.
Moreover, when I tried to use MS Online or QuickBooks Online, it would keep prompting me to install the latest version of Chrome. When I tried doing that, it would tell me I have the latest version of Chrome installed. You could only imagine the frustration...
Do not waste your time on this unless you are specifically looking for a Chromebook. In that case, its a nice and sleek device, but not worth the price tag even then.

Chromebooks are laptops, better for 90% of people

I use them for personal, work, and school - and it is speedier than Windows for everything. It is a laptop, and thankfully doesn't run Windows.
