Bungie has been incredibly disappointing with what they consider an expansion. I'm not going to pay $20+ for a couple levels and a day of content. It's just not worth it. Each expansion should be roughly the same size as the original for the price they want.
If I wanted to do the same quests and grind out gear there are bigger and better games to do so in.

One would assume that when you pay for a game, you actually get what you paid for. Not true with Zenimax. The imperial edition and explorer packs were not showing up, even though I bought them. They were aware of this (and it happened on PC launch too) but they don't care about their customers and instructed customer service to tell customers "just make a character and play. when we fix it you can remake your character and transfer the gear."
Not only that, but the two weeks the game was literally unplayable. Invisible NPCs required for quests would not allow me to leave the tutorial area. The game is also laggy and graphically choppy. There has since been an update, but you still can't play with friends unless you go through a crazy work around. This is really a terrible port, and unless they get their act together people won't play.
I also think it's BS that Zenimax continues to tell us that we aren't paying a subscription fee and how amazing that is so we shouldn't complain. Because I totally didn't PAY for the game, right?

What's great about it: Better acting, better stunts, more action.
What's not so great: Feels like it lost some of the feel in the first movie.
This was a pretty good movie. If you liked the first one, then you'll like this one. I think it gets a bit ridiculous at the end, but overall it's a good watch. The action is plentiful (but not as good as the first one), and most of the storyline you can see coming from a mile away. However, that doesn't mean it's bad. I had higher hopes for it, as the jokes and one-liners were terrible this time around, but it's worth watching in my opinion.
Obviously this isn't a movie for kids, so don't get all upset if you buy it for your kids without knowing what you are buying.

Just as his hope is fading, Cain spots a glowing ball in the sky. A fiery harbinger of doom hurdles toward him, falling straight from the heavens. Striking the very ground where Diablo once entered the world, the ancient evils of the past reawaken. The fire burns rapidly and it becomes clear that this world is once again in need of a hero. Will you still have what it takes two decades after the last battle?Return to Sanctuary to confront the many forms of evil once again in Diablo III. Choose your hero from five powerful character classes, including Barbarian, Witch Doctor and Wizard — each with their own spells and abilities. Decimate your enemies by using the interactive environment to your advantage — lay cunning traps and use destructible objects and environmental obstacles to your advantage with the Havok physics system. The realms of Sanctuary are now rendered in gorgeous 3D for rich gameplay that pulls you in, allowing you to explore highly detailed regions of Sanctuary.

What's great about it: Graphics and soundtrack
What's not so great: Auction house. Too easy game play.
I got this hoping it would be something to play for a long time. However, I stopped playing after a couple months because I beat the game. I didn't find hardcore to be as hardcore as Diablo 2 was. Also, XBOX 360 players have better stats on the same exact gear to pacify their need to destroy things in one shot. I don't think I will buy the expansion, but we'll see.
I also don't like how it only allows you to play with 4 friends total, and the DRM requires online at all times.

What's great about it: Sound. Ability to walk downstairs and still hear/speak to people.
What's not so great: Uncomfortable for smaller ears.
I bought these and ended up giving them to my roommate who has bigger ears. I can't play with these on for hours like I can with my turtle beach ones, but the sound quality is much better on these. The distance you can walk away and still function is also much longer. The battery life on these is fantastic too. I only have to charge one or twice a week and I use them 30-40 hours a week.

What's great about it: Fantastic graphics and soundtrack
What's not so great: Too easy. If you played XI you'll be bored in a month.
This game is a huge improvement from FFXIV 1.0, however it is too easy. The game holds your hand the entire way through and leveling is incredibly easy. Crafting is fun, but again very easy. The questing system is fun, but leveling through FATEs is much easier which causes the game to a race to the next FATE. This can cause your game to lag when the servers are busy making it impossible to see the mobs.
Overall, I would say it's worth playing to the end. However, unless they release a lot of new and difficult content, I won't be staying to play for long.

Sports, action, shooters, you name it. The familiar layout of this gamepad brings console-style control to your PC games. Bring the gaming console experience to your PC with this game controller that features broad game support for wide-ranging use and a floating D-pad for simple operation. The 6' cord allows you to sit back and relax while playing your favorite games.
 
Buy the protection for it, you'll need it.

What's great about it: easy to use
What's not so great: breaks too easily
I have gone through about 8 of these controllers over a period of about 3 years. They are great, but they break REALLY easily. The wire comes out, frays, and disconnects inside the housing very often. I'm disappointed because I love logitech. However, if you spend the extra money on the protection plan, then you can bring it back in for a brand new one. To avoid these things I recommend buying the logitech WIRELESS controller. There are a few people that don't like it, but it breaks in about a year to two years off everyday play versus the three months with this wired controller.

Popped it on and calibrated, but it wouldn't read my movements at all. Had someone else install it to make sure I just didn't do it wrong but it still didn't work. Don't buy this.

This movie is up there with the other comic book movies. I'll admit some of the acting could be better, but they did a pretty good job. The extras are pretty cool too. I wasn't really a fan of Nicolas Cage doing his Adam West thing. I would definitely recommend putting subtitles on at least once while you watch this movie.
