This is easily the best Batman in 20 years. It really nails the look and feel of the Batman universe and really puts you in the caped crusader's shoes. The seeing through walls thing breaks the gameplay a little, but that's a pretty small complaint. Loved it.
What's great about it: Nails the Batman aesthetic
What's not so great: Camera's sometimes a little dodgy

The director of this movie did a fantastic job integrating real-live actors and a great story into lots of CG. The effect is seamless, which is a testament to his skill. Until we watched the making-of, we assumed the Mark I suit was real since it looked so clunky. Not so! Really excellent movie.
The Blu-Ray transfer is very good, but we were a little disappointed at the lack of outtakes. This project seems custom-made for lots of funny one-liners when great actors screw up.
What's great about it: AMAZINGLY well-integrated CG
What's not so great: Waiting for the sequel

This game has a great storyline and really good acting that draws you into the game. The action shooting sequences are fun, but the targeting system is really not very accurate. The FF and MF "love" scenes were somewhat unexpected for a game, so be warned.
What's great about it: Nice story with great acting and good graphics
What's not so great: Targeting is really touch and go

This is basically a high-concept sketch comedy movie with Adam Sandler's friends. The plot is even thinner than usual. There are a few funny gags, but most of them fall flat. I also had to turn subtitles on to understand some of the dialogue since it had so much forced gutteral noises to make it sound more "Israeli" that it was hard to understand.
Fast forward is your friend with this one.

What's not so great: Many of the ideas are not funny

This game is like a cross between SSX Tricky and Downhill Domination. You get a great sense of speed when moving through the tracks and can do some really crazy-unrealsitic tricks that are fun to pull off. It's a little short on variety, but what is there is fun for a while.
What's great about it: Crazy tricks, great sense of speed
What's not so great: A little glitchy, can get repetitive

SynopsisReturn to the delightful world of Pinata Island, where exotic and colorful pinatas roam free. Here you've been able to cultivate a magnificent garden in the company of incredible wild creatures unlike any you've seen before ~ outside of the occasional party, that is. Now this idyllic landscape is facing a new and dangerous threat. The sinister Professor Pester and his gang of Ruffians have wiped out the computer records at Pinata Central, posing a threat to parties the world over. The only way to thwart Pester's plot is to send pinatas at full candiosity to parties all over the globe. Will you be able to put a stop to the professor's fiendish plan, or are parties everywhere doomed to remain without the sweet and sugary fun that only a pinata can provide?In this sequel to the charming Viva Pinata, you'll experience once more the unique delights of beautiful Pinata Island. Do your best to save the world from the grim prospect of a future filled with pinata-free parties, all while building and maintaining pinata gardens that will help you attract more than 100 amazing pinata species, including 32 brand-new species. Watch out, though, for the new sour pinatas that are liable to wreak havoc in your garden unless you feed them candy to keep them on the sweet side. Customize your garden with grass, trees, flowers, lakes and even sand and snow, and play with a friend or family member to share the pinata love.

The first Viva Pinata was a fun title, but some aspects were a little frustrating. This title has taken the first title and smoothed over the rough edges while adding tons of fun gameplay extras to make a great sequel. There are over 100 pinatas available now as opposed to 50 or so in the prior title. The garden also can have MANY more items in it. This is a great title.
What's great about it: Fun gameplay, improves on the first title
What's not so great: Some game glitches still present

The first impression I had of this game was a huge "WOW"! The game is cool looking, but the problem is that the look doesn't evolve through the game, and the battles and monsters change VERY LITTLE. It feels a lot like doing level 1 over and over and over. Very repetitive and boring gameplay after the first hour's rush wears off.
What's great about it: Interesting concept
What's not so great: Battle is repetitive, script is sub B-movie
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After the great Lego Indy game, we were really looking forward to this one and were unfortunately very disappointed. The collision detection seems to be very spotty in places and the game is much more tedious than fun. Also, the game visually is much darker than Star Wars or Indy. Very unfortunate. Hopefully the next LEGO game will put the series back on track.
What's great about it: Captures the universe of the older-style batman
What's not so great: Tedious gameplay, spotty collision detection

The shame of this album is that it's a new direction for Linkin Park that really WORKS on about 4 of the tracks, but the other 8 are so forgettable and lame that it's hard to get too hot and bothered over it. I definitely recommend it to LP fans, if just for the 4 songs that are really hot, but casual rock fans (or recovering rap rock junkies) might not be too impressed.
What's great about it: About 4 songs

Best Concept CD since Green Day's American Idiot
on October 14, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
This is an AMAZING album from start to finish. It's no wonder it's compared to American Idiot - the same producer that works with Green Day worked with this band here. The result is an album that rocks almost from the start, but has fanastic quirky set pieces like the opus MAMA (with Liza Minelli guesting!). I mean, WHO would have guessed that you'd find Liza Minelli on a ROCK album. That particular song has a very Pink Floyd The Wall feel to it. There are tons of other great tracks as well like "Dead", "Teenagers", "Famous Last Words", and on and on.
What's great about it: Perhaps two songs on the whole album miss the mark
What's not so great: Two songs suck
I would recommend this to a friend!

They say for most people that doing is learning ~ being told how to do something, or even shown, isn't nearly as effective as jumping right in and giving it a try for yourself.

Whether you're a novice picking up the guitar for the very first time or an old hand fine-tuning your technique, Rocksmith gets you results fast, by putting the guitar in your hands, plugging into your console and getting the party started. Rocksmith 2014 Edition takes the same proven methods of the original edition and enhances them for a fruitful learning experience that will soon have you riffing with the best of 'em.Newly designed for an enriched, re-imagined experience, Rocksmith 2014 Edition features new menus and in-game interfaces for clear, smooth and blazing-fast learning.

I thought this game what's going to be wonderful but turned out that there was the big time lag and the game performance. I have very fast internet so there should have been a problem. Tried to return the item but was unable to. Not happy.

The Lag is your TV
February 15, 2015
You need to put your TV in game mode to reduce the lag if the game is lagging on you. Many cheap LCD TVs (like Vizio, Westinghouse, etc) have terrible lag. It's probably your TV. If you have game mode, that will help.

what is bionz image processer
It is currently in many of Sony's digital cameras. Image processing in camera converts the raw image data from a CCD into the format that is stored on the memory card. This processing is one of the bottlenecks in digital camera speed, so manufacturers put much effort into making, and marketing, the fastest processors for this step that they can. Some of the models that use the Bionz image processors are DSC W150,DSC W170,W210,W350, α 700, α 900

Olympus 8010 has 1588MB memory and 6020 has 632 MB memory, using max of 14 megapixel for photos, what would photo storage difference be?
Olympus 8010 has 1588 MB memory and 6020 has 632 MB memory using 14 megapixcels, what would picture storage difference be? Cameras are almost the same, except 8010 is is little more shock and water proof to lower depth.
It depends on the storage compression of the camera. IF it's uncompressed 24 bit pictures, there's about 125 pictures on the one camera and a little over 300 on the other. But most consumer cameras store as Jpg images with some compression, so the real storage is most-likely substantially more.

Where can I get my Camera Repaired?
The little orange triangle that holds the battery in broke
If this is a Canon camera, they have an exchange program where you send them yours and they exchange it for another. It's typically reasonable.

Zoom doesn't work
Yesterday I bought a sony digital camera model DSC-H10 at best buy #323, and zoom only works before starting the filming, during filming zoom doesn't works. A question is not whether this is a defect or not? I have another camera that Sony does Żomm during filming. I am grateful if they can give me an answer as soon as possible.
This is not a defect. The optical zoom cannot be changed while filming on the DSC-H10.
The reason most cameras don't allow it is because the microphone will pick up the sound of the motor adjusting the lens while you're filming because camera motors weren't really designed to work like camcorders except in a pinch.
Canon Powershot S5-IS can optically zoom while filming, as can a few other cameras, but if you're filming live action a lot, you're better off getting a camcorder that can take pictures, not a camera that can film.
