When I ordered Ronin Warriors the seller sent this to me by mistake. I was sure glad they did. I got to keep it free so I watched it and became an instant fan. The only gripe with the series is that it ended. The story is set in a future where bounty hunting is a way of life. The series introduces and removes characters at the right time and most episodes contains hints to the overall arc. Drama and comedy fill each episode that leads to a climatic ending. Of all the animes series I've seen this one ranks as a must own/must see. If you enjoy animes with good dramatic storytelling with comic relief then this one's for you. The end really ties the whole series up appropriately. One to remember.
What's great about it: Excellent story
What's not so great: Could have been longer

It took them that long to come out with this? It's no wonder the developers were quick to announce work on Bioshock: Infinite. The storyline, gameplay improvements, graphic updates all makes the game feel like a DLC then a true sequel. At least let us destroy Rapture in the end. It's a good game but not worth the full price. Wait until it's $30 then get it.
What's great about it: improvements over the first
What's not so great: doesn't warrant the title of sequel

Zombie slayer Frank West managed to save the country from a devastating undead uprising ~ if only he managed to eradicate it. In the ensuing years, the American public has come to realize the zombies weren't stopped, just stalled. The zombie threat continues to terrorize the public in massive outbreaks with mind-numbing results. Now you will step into the daredevil shoes of national Motocross talent Chuck Greene and travel to flashy Fortune City. It's not gambling and a show you're looking for, however ~ you're here to compete in "Terror is Reality," a gruesome game show that dares contestants to survive zombie-filled environments for the entertainment of TV audiences around the globe. Your motivation for stepping into this dangerous environment is your daughter Katey, who has been bitten by a zombie and requires a daily dose of Zombrex to prevent her from turning. Zombrex is the only effective drug of its kind on the market, making the price excruciatingly high. Unfortunately, while you're in Fortune City, a zombie outbreak occurs and you must survive the onslaught of the undead for 72 hours. Forced to defend against two fearsome threats ~ tens of thousands of zombies and the constant countdown of the clock ~ while potentially rescuing other survivors of the zombie apocalypse, you must also unravel the greater conspiracy behind the outbreak and, just as importantly, find the Zombrex necessary to stop Katey from joining the ever-growing zombie horde. It's time to shoot, stab, carve and drive your way through enemies in order to beat the clock and survive 72 hours in the darkly comedic, no holds-barred confines of Fortune City. Dead Rising 2 takes you on another heart-pumping adventure as you strive to defeat a zombie force the likes of which the world has never seen. With more undead to defeat than ever, you'll need to keep your head if you want to succeed. With repair skills and a handyman attitude, you have a lot more to offer than just national Motocross talent. As Chuck Greene, you will find countless new objects to use as weapons, and hone your mind as the deadliest weapon. Chop, smash, crush and pummel the undead with everyday objects. With you in control, these zombies won't even know what hit them. You'll need to use every bit of brainpower to save this city of sin, but watch out ~ a zombie might just succeed at chilling your lucky streak.

There are other ways to progress a story without putting a time restraint. The first game suffered from the same complaint. The way the game is designed, putting the 72hr limit really restricts the exploration of the game. Having a time frame does create a good sense of tension and urgency like watching a good zombie movie, but with so much to do it only hinders the experience. At least give us the option to disable the clock after the first playthrough. The online gameshow is a fun diversion plus you can use that money in game. Different protagonist, larger map, improved graphics and control are what you can expect from this sequel. If you haven't played the first game then there is no need. The protagonist's story is different but everything else is the same. It's still a fun game but I expected more changes from the first.
What's great about it: Lots of combo weapons...
What's not so great: 72 hours to use them

I want to use an indoor smart antenna with my HD Toshiba TV. I would like to purchase an indoor antenna that will work with my TV and give up Comcast Cable. I live in Sout Elgin Illinois
and would like at least to get the local channels 2,5,7,9,11 etc. and what ever else I can get.
What would be the right antenna to purchase. I do have the converter box, but no antenna.
Channel 2 CBS is very important to me.
Thank you. Desperate in South Elgin

Your converter box will act as an amplifiier so any antenna will do. Just plug antenna to converter box then plug box to TV input. If you want to get a stronger signal then I would suggest getting an antenna with a power plug. RCA makes good antennas.

What do I buy?
I want to record all of my video tapes onto a disc. What machine or machines do I need to purchase?
There are several video transfer software that lets you record from VHS into your computer with a A/V adapter that plugs from VCR to computer. You can then burn the data onto a disc. Check with bestbuy or officedepot, its in the software aisle.

Best "standard" flat screen available?
My application is a bit unique... I need 2 TVs but they are for use on a research vessel. No HDTV available through my mobile sat provider. Seems wasteful to get an HD when I can only recieve "standard" digital signal. Looking for best picture I can get on a flat screen using standard signal. Would my best bet be to get a 720 HD? Or are flat screen LCD standard TVs available. Samsung?
For your requirements, I would get a 720p set since all digital signal is at least 480i to 720i. The price for 720p have dropped significantly too since 1080p are selling cheaper every month. For picture quality and reliability, Sony or Samsung LCDs is my choice.
