I enjoyed Zelda: BOTW, but I honestly don't get why it won Game of the Year or has received as much acclaim as it has. I didn't get the impression they really broke any new ground and there are simply better open-world exploration/adventure games out there, this one just happens to be set in the skewed Legend of Zelda universe. If you enjoy Zelda games it's plenty worth the pickup, but if you're looking for some sort of transcendent gaming experience, it isn't that.

I've been playing the Raiden series since the first one was in the arcades and have the original on Turbografx-16 and Atari Jaguar. It's possibly the best top-down shooter series and has been for a long time running. The fifth installment is just a continuation of this trend, and it's possibly the best in the series. If you like this, also try out Caladrius Blaze; similar games and I believe the same publisher.

I've never been the biggest fan of racing games or Mario Kart, but that's not to say I don't know a good game from a bad game. MK8 isn't a bad game at all, but it doesn't really do enough to distinguish itself from previous iterations of Mario Kart to me, making it kind of a prettier version of an old experience.

The summary says it all: this game feels a lot like Final Fantasy Tactics to me, though without the grid system. That's not a bad thing at all, but do be wary if you aren't familiar with FFT that this is not going to be at all like a traditional Mario platformer. It's a turn based strategy/role-playing game, and while I like that, it's not for everybody.

Ink-splatting action is back and fresher than everThe squid kids called Inklings are back to splat more ink and claim more turf in this colorful and chaotic 4-on-4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go with the Nintendo Switch™ system, and use any of the console’s portable play styles for intense local multiplayer* action. Even team up for new 4-player co-op fun in Salmon Run!Expect a fresh wave of fashion, not to mention new weapons and gear. Dual wield the new Splat Dualies or stick to mainstays like chargers and rollers, which have been remixed with new strategic possibilities. As always, Turf War is the favored sport among Inklings, but they also dig ranked battles, taking down Octarians in a robust single-player campaign, and battling enemy Salmonids in one dangerous part-time job! No matter which way you play, splat at home or on-the-go with Nintendo Switch. Staying fresh never felt so good.*Additional games and systems required for multiplayer mode.

While not necessarily an easy game to get a handle on, Splatoon is good, clean fun that can be enjoyed by pretty much all ages, though kids might need to be advanced a bit past novice gaming abilities to really pick it up.

The Dead Island Series isn’t the best around, but it has its charms, and at the price you can buy this edition, it’s worth adding to your collection. Even if you just want all the DLC you missed on the 360 it’s worthwhile.

I keep getting suckered into buying Metal Gear games, and somehow I never learn that they’re just not for me. The story never quite clicks, the action and controls just don’t grab me, and I’m always left disappointed. Not saying it’s bad, but definitely rent or borrow before buying, as it’s not for everybody.

If you already have the Arkham series on the 360, there’s not really anything new here which justifies purchasing it again (though I’ve bought Skyrim about eight times, so who am I to judge?). Nonetheless, it’s a great action game with a gritty, no-nonsense storyline that gives a new edge to the Batman franchise.

If you want something heavy and sturdy, this isn't a great option. But if you just want something relatively inexpensive that has adjustable shelves and is exceptionally easy to put together, this gets the job done. I have six of them and never had any issues putting them together, a process which takes less than ten minutes each.

This sleeve does the most basic of things by protecting your MacBook from the elements. Impact protection is about as good as any other soft case, I just wish there were a bit more pocket space.

I have approximately 400 DVD and blue ray covered moves. Would this cabinet be larger enough to fit my collection. What colors does this cabinet comes in? If this cabinet is to small; can you recommend me the best cabinet in black and cost?

The 240 DVDs claimed in the description is pretty accurate. Unfortunately, the shelves adjust only to CD or DVD height, not the in-between Blu-Ray height, so unless you store some of them horizontally it won't make for a huge difference (I'd say you might be able to cram close to 280 Blu-Rays in). Atlantic has other slightly larger options in black, just look through what's available.

Can extra shelves with extra supports be obtained at time of purchase?

No, and it's unlikely you would need any additional shelves unless you're storing something smaller than a typical compact disc jewel case.

Will this hold my VHS Tapes. I'm looking for something to store them in! What about the large Disney cases, will it be deep and tall enough to handle those?

Yes, they're actually excellent for holding outsized VHS cases like the old Disney ones. I hold my Sega Saturn and Sega CD games in them and they're the perfect height for that. If you're storing ordinary VHS tapes in them there will be a little room to spare at the top of them.

Are the shelves adjustable & Can you add more shelves ?

Shelves are adjustable, but I've never seen extra shelves available on the side. However, each one comes with four adjustable shelves in addition to permanent ones in the middle and bottom, and if you use all four it would hold six rows of CD jewel cases with little wiggle room. Using two of the shelves would hold four levels of VHS/DVD cases with room to spare. If you're familiar with the old Sega Saturn/Sega CD plastic cases, they're the perfect height for those. There's really no reason to add more shelves unless you're storing something significantly shorter than a typical CD jewel case.
