John Wick returns in a movie the is violent but it is a stylized almost balletic display on gunplay in a world of bad guys anti antiheroes in which Wick is treated almost like a rock star The story and acting is imaginative in a way that is so untypical that it make his world seem like a hitman's fantasy The extras on the disk a very informative of Wick's world

His performance(He ruined Green Lantern Too) along with a really badly done sound soundtrack totally wrecks this movie Every few minutes the soundtrack volume over loads the surround sound system. The constant use of profanity makes this movie un suitable for families and children over all this was a waste of good money. I would say unless you can stomach 2 hours of bad acting and constantly reseting you sound system stay away from this turkey

Just like the WD portable drive for nor reason this drive suddenly failed
seems portable as a category are not worth purchase as they have a near 100% failure rate and even before that the working are very spotty in future I will stick to the plugin drive and just carry a bigger bag.
best advice on external drive buy several and back up everything in triplicate as all external drive fail over the course of time but portables like this one are totally unreliable

I've played around with it a bit It seems to work well with go pro how ever it does work with DSLRs as advertised. You would need a more substantial stabilizer for that. Balancing the unit is easy The other problem I noted was the adapter does not fit the GoPro without forcing it. The tines on the mount need to be forcibly spread in order to mount the go pro If I get a regular video camera to use with it will have to be very light and I will take the stabilizer to the store to make sure it's compatible.

Easy to use, Accurate maps including all the recently named roads, a lot of new roads about 2 years ago in my area, Tomtom and Magellan maps don't have them The downloads from could be a bit faster but at least they DL far faster than others, 3 hours for maps vs 12 on Tomtom(if you can keep it form timing out) Programing destination work better than the others. and some cute downloadable content, my current car icon in an X-wing fighter It finds attraction like ski areas that do not even exist in the Magellan's maps Over all Garmin is far better than the others, It is the only major brand to buy

I bought this as a replacement for a really bad Magellan unit, This one is perhaps worse. First off it has no maps installed when I tried to get maps installed, the download time was estimated at over 12 hours on a cable modem, the download timed over and over called tech numerous times no useful help was given. All in all it is a really bad quality unit
. I am half afraid to try any other unit after the last 2 purchases I had a Navteq GPS that got wet and stopped working it was far superior t either Tomtom or Magellen Wish I could find another one
I am taking this buzzkill back to bestbuy

 Total War: Rome II - Windows
Total War: Rome II - Windows
Ancient Rome. An era and a place where the whims of a single man can send ripples though the entire known world. Where empires fall and regimes end in the face of one colossal army. Where greed, jealously, betrayal and sacrifice played such a role that they shape the future world. The intensely dramatic and deeply twisted rise of the Roman Empire is now your story. You control the army, you choose the path, you determine the destiny. Total War: Rome II puts the fate of the most powerful and corrupt empire in all of history into your hands.With the power of the vast Roman war machine under your command, you can dominate the enemies of the empire by military, economic or political means — the choice is yours. Your rise to power has brought about jealousy and betrayal from your closest allies — will you allow it to strike you down or will you turn on old friends? Will you sacrifice everything to save the Republic? Or will you turn to the darker side of ruling and plot to become an Emperor and place Rome in a dictatorship? With an epic turn-based campaign mode and thunderous, bone-splintering real-time battles, Total War: Rome II allows you to plan your conquest of the known world in exquisite detail — and according to your vision. A new graphics engine and unit cameras deliver a stunning experience of each intense clash, exotic city and massive army in incredible detail from almost any perspective. Scalable to either your PC or laptop, Total War: Rome II delivers an engrossing experience that lets you feel the scope of Ancient Rome's power, the temptation of totalitarian leadership and the intensity of colossal conquests.

What's great about it: Not much
What's not so great: Less than it's pedecessor in many ways
I have been playing Total war games since the first released Mediaeval and the Original Rome This one is major step backwards Graphical and in game play, The graphics are nowhere close to the adverts on the websites ads, The battles are no improvement over the first Rome game. You are limited to just 3 armies and to navies. and unit recruitment only takes place with in the armies and navies, during which you armies are paralyzed and "muster" new units is completely stops for no reason. There are many other shortcomings than can be listed here. I waited for months for this turkey and am disappointed to the point that I may not consider not purchasing future games of the series. I really, REALLY wanted to like this games Especially after the Shogun 2 was so very well done Do your self a favor if you want a TW game get Shogun 2 or even the much maligned Empire They are both far better games

What's great about it: NOTHING
What's not so great: No franchise mode, useless online mode Awful game play
The so called carreer mode is a total bust You cannot play any thing other tha an abreviated 7 minute game. No option for any kind of multiplayer league, Gameplay is awful play is sluggish at best. all the thing that are so right in NCAA are missing here. Who really plays football on line .
Just like EA ruining Golf with their dreadful Tiger woods series and totally messsed up FIFA soccer the have now ruined the premier sports franchise EA sports can count me out for any future versions of Maddan after seeing this total dog of a game
This product has... Appropriate for young kids

Is the voice male or female, and can different voices be programmed?

My cousin once had a GPS that had a male with an Australian accent as the selected voice. It was awesome!
