I am a huge Uncharted fan. That being said, I never played Tomb Raider on the PS3. After becoming an early-adopter of a PS4, I wanted something that could give me the same kind of experience as Uncharted. Tomb Raider definitely delivered.
I loved the ability to progress Lara's skill set and weapons. The game was also more open-world in many areas than Uncharted.
This game has tons of treasures and collectibles to find. The sense of exploration is incredible.
Some of the trophies were a pain (20 kills with the turret took me forever, as did reaching level 60 in multiplayer).
The single player campaign is where this game shines . The multiplayer is good and can be quite fun.
I HIGHLY recommend this game to all PS4 owners!

They're Batteries...Nothing Out of the Ordinary

They're batteries and they do the trick. I would like to have rechargable batteries, but the rechargeable C batteries are a joke. These work just fine.

My wife had to get this for the kids. She loved Care Bears when she was a kid and wanted to pass this on. I may not share the same passion for Care Bears as my wife, but the kids enjoy it. It's family-friendly, so no complaints.

If you are on the fence about buying a Sonicare, do yourself a favor and do it. It makes a huge difference in helping to maintain oral health.
Without getting too scientific, the whole idea behind it is that the toothbrush emits a specific wavelength. This wavelength disrupts the ability of cavity-causing bacteria to reproduce.

Poor on Every Level

from Provo, UT
This game feels so out of place for this generation. Perhaps it could have dome something for itself two generations ago, but now, it doesn't stand a chance. Do yourself a favor and don't bother. I really found no redeeming qualities in this game whatsoever.
What's great about it: It's not very expensive
What's not so great: The gameplay, the graphics, the audio...and I could go on, but that sums it up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

He's not a bird or a plane ~ and he's definitely not Superman. Cole is a superhero with super problems; blamed for the destruction of Empire City, haunted by the ghosts of his past and confronted by terrifying enemies at every turn, he doesn't lead a simple life. Step into Cole's super-powered world and embark on a dramatic journey to unlock secrets of the past and discover your true hero potential. 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. Live out all of the consequences to your choices in vivid detail, powerful cinematic sequences and increased interactivity. The stakes are high and game bosses are more evil than ever, but you are armed with enhanced electrical attacks, fighting skills and new super powers so your fights are packed with intense, heart-pounding action. 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.

A Must-Have for PS3 Owners
on January 29, 2012
Posted by: cssmit142
from Provo, UT
Infamous 2 is an absolutely incredible game. Not only does the game have a great story, but also has excellent gameplay that truly captures the super-hero feel. The city of New Marais has a really cool atmosphere.
The game can be challenging, but earning a Platinum trophy is definitely doable for more than just the hardcore.
UGC content isn't always great, but there are some real gems that make it worth trying out (plus greatly increases the replay value of the game).
If you have a PS3, do yourself a favor and give this series a try.

What's great about it: Graphics, gameplay, soundtrack, super-hero feel, Karma system
What's not so great: Change of Cole's voice actor...you get used to it after a while, but it is distracting at first

In the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Costa Rica had somehow maintained peace and neutrality while Latin America became essential to maintaining the power balance between East and West. But in some regions of the neutral country, a mysterious armed force was engaging in suspicious activities. In Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the soldiers without borders move into action to preserve peace. In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, you'll join FOXHOUND agent Raiden on his first real mission as he infiltrates the Big Shell to deal with the armed group known as the Sons of Liberty. The action continues in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, where Snake is given orders to assassinate The Boss and heads back to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.Metal Gear Solid HD Collection lets you engage in tactical espionage action like you never have before. Play your favorite Metal Gear Solid games and pick up on every detail as the frame rate has been boosted to 60 fps and graphics enhanced to 720p. You'll enjoy smooth, precise controls thanks to right analog stick formatting and Force Feedback. Complete your missions and experience a new style of play in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker with the Trophies and Achievements mode. And you thought Metal Gear Solid couldn't get any better.

As a huge fan of the Metal Gear series, I had been eagerly awaiting this collection. As a PS3 slim owner, I had been looking forward to playing these titles on my HDTV (I had attempted hooking the PS2 up to it and it did not turn out well). The good news is that these titles look fantastic and play great. I am especially impressed with MGS PW's new feel with its incorporation of the PS3's right stick. This game becomes so much better with the right stick. I will probably never play it on the PSP again.
I also love the implementation of trophies for these games. Definitely adds a new sense of challenge.
These three incredible games are definitely worth the (very reasonable) price of admission.

There's a reason why MW2 is the best selling PS3 game. It is very well made and certainly challenging.
If you have yet to pick this title up. I would recommend it. I have also recommended the PS3 trigger kickers. They make a big difference, especially in a game like this.

LBP2 is a fantastic follow up to the original. It provides good, clean fun that the entire family can enjoy.
There are plenty of challenges to be had in LBP2 for the more serious gamers, while the less-experienced will have fun simply completing the levels.
This is a fantastic game! If you loved the original, you will love this one, as well.
