You are Talion, Ranger of the Black Gate. For what seems like eons, you have guarded the entrance to Mordor, keeping watch over Sauron's undisturbed dwelling place with relative uneventfulness. But in the blink of an eye, everything you hold dear is snatched from your grasp. Your family, your friends — even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief — vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land — the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron's return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player's actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

I am really enjoying this game. It helps if you know some of the Lord Of The Rings story, but is not required.

The art of war may be thousands of years old, but on the battlegrounds of the future combat has become a big business. Where men and women once stood in defense of their nation the employees of Private Military Corporations (PMCs) are deployed, armed with the latest technologies and an arsenal of advanced weapons. Soldiers no longer need to specialize in any area of combat — equipped with powerful exoskeletons, they become the masters of all battlefield skills. In this new age of privatized combat, one PMC stands at the forefront of the industry, the juggernaut Atlas Corporation. Founded and led by Jonathan Irons, perhaps the most powerful man in the world, Atlas Corporation represents the evolution of modern combat. Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders. Do you have what it takes to navigate this ever-changing military landscape and answer the Call of Duty?The latest installment in the popular combat series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare plunges you into the combat of the future, orchestrated and fought by PMCs with the latest technology in armor, weaponry and tactics. Enter the world of Jonathan Irons — the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation — in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility. Attack enemy forces with tried-and-true standard ammunition or step up your assault with new directed-energy weapons. The future of war is upon you — are you ready to play your part?

Best version to date

I was a little skeptical of buying this years version since last years Xbox 360 and Xbox One version were essentially the same game with minor graphics tweaks. This year though I can truly say looks next gen. The animations; while sometimes hilarious, are most of the time amazing. Its the Madden I have come to enjoy only with better graphics and more game modes.

I only had it for 3 days. The first day was great. A ton of apps for a smart watch, simple to use, and comfortable to wear. The second day the display went out on it. I tried everything peeble support recommended with no fix. The third day I returned it. I'm sure I just got a bad one, but after only one day I had a feeling it was sign to wait for something else.

I bought this phone system for my home office. It works great and really have no complaints. Price was great for the number of handsets I received. My only issue with it is that only the main handset base has bluetooth capability.

I bought this as a gift for my father in law for Christmas. When I helped him set it up, I realized how small it was. I generally use an X-Box for my Netflix, HBO Go, ect. The set-up was extremely simple and picture quality is great. Selection of available channels is great as well.

I use it in...:Large home
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this device for an older desktop running windows 7 that I use for work. For the most part it works well. For some reason though, it will disconnect randomly. It may be caused by all the other electronics around my desk, but it does not happen with any regularity. I purchased this because of the AC capability so it is future proof. Seems to have great range which is a plus.
