I buy strategy guides often, and this doesn't disappoint. Not really a necessity, but it does come in handy on some of the more difficult settings. Nicely done and definitely useful for those not familiar with the franchise.

No complaints, as it does exactly what I need it to. There are a few quibbles with iOS that I have, but the hardware is pretty solid. The only thing that I might find (a small amount of) fault with would be with the touch sensitivity: it's not quite as responsive as other devices that I have, and there's no way to adjust it. Certainly not a deal breaker by any means, though.

It took me a while to settle on a pair of wireless headphones, and I'm glad that I waited. The sound quality is outstanding (sure, not reference quality, but they ARE wireless) and the multitude of customizable fit options is a huge selling point when it's done like this. It took me a few trips to the gym to get it right, but now I don't have to constantly fiddle with the ear buds to keep a proper, tight fit.
The battery life is fantastic for a device like this, and it's range is also impressive: I was a good 100 feet away before I noticed any sound drop/clipping. There are the occasional momentary 'clips', but let's face it, with the number of people using similar devices, plus wifi and cell phones, some sort of signal conflict is inevitable.
And yes, you can answer phone calls if you need to!

I have been a fan of basically anything 'Ghost In The Shell' since it first became available in the U.S. I saw the original film when it was theatrically released. This movie is not of the same caliber, and almost not worth watching. It is indeed the weakest link in the series, and if you want a much better recent entry stick to 'Arise'.
I applaud what they are trying to do (as opposed to actually doing it) by giving us back story to Maj. Kusanagi (in my opinion one of the greatest characters ever to appear on TV or in film) but it is...clumsy in its attempt. And the animation is kind of 'wonky' in spots.
Not a must watch, but it does add to the overall cosmology.

What I really appreciate about the 'Lupin' movies, as well as the 'Fujiko Mine' series, is the way that they flesh out the 'Lupin' universe. They're the perfect vehicles to do what the series didn't and couldn't do.
And besides, it's 'Lupin'. It's obviously worth watching!

I think that they could have made this game without pandering to the 'festival crowd'. It looks amazing (except for the character models), plays like a Forza game, but was...silly.
If you're looking for a distraction it does the trick, but if you want a 'real' racer look elsewhere.

I was a bit leery of this sort of product at first (you know, it'll damage dental work, scramble my brain, etc.), but it came highly recommended by my brother so...WOW! Talk about clean (even though the commercials are rather misleading: the people come dancing out of the bathroom with no foam on their faces!)! And the different settings as well. The charging glass can be used for rinsing, and the storage case has USB charging capability.
Highly recommended!

It seems that as Hollywood continues its descent into film making mediocrity, the Asian theater (China/Taiwan, S. Korea, Japan, Thailand, etc.) continue to produce truly original, beautiful, first class films. Sure, many if not most are subtitled, but I'm personally puzzled why someone would let this stop them from watching great films. 'Pan's Labyrinth' comes to mind.
This film is staggering in its beauty, vision, and cinematography. The actual martial arts scenes don't dominate the story and act as filler and are certainly not run of the mill 15 minute affairs (which is OK from time to time!).
Highly recommended!

Does this work with otg Android ?

With a otg cable and an Android tablet, will this work?
As far as I know, it's basically a Windows device (7, 8.x, and 10), but it apparently works with Sony Android TV's. So based on that, if one knows how to tinker, a tablet shouldn't be too much of a stretch. But as far a plug-and-play functionality, I don't think that tablets are supported.
