Another Great Retro Style Indie
on July 2, 2018
Posted by: shimmy
from Canoga Park, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game offers a lot more challenge and greater amount of content than you may expect. The game contains several "chapters" for its main campaign, and each chapter can take more than an hour to complete. While the controls and combat are simple, small intricacies and secret details add a sense of depth (I.e. attack combos, deflect ability, etc.)
And since this is a Nicalis game, the physical edition comes with some cool perks like their other titles: reversible cover insert, full printed manual, and collectable keychain for first print copies.

Fly freely for exploration and combat with Owlboy for the Nintendo Switch. Its 2-D open-world environment lets you soar through various scenes in the clouds and engage in boss battles in large dungeons. Carry anything and anyone, and make allies with gunner characters in Owlboy to save your village from invading sky pirates.

A Worthy Addition to the Switch Collection
on June 24, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
The game itself is excellent, with fun metroid-vania like progression and exploration, as well as an engaging story and beautifully rendered art style. The physical version itself seems a bit lacking (it's just the cover and the game cart) when compared to Nicalis games (usually include full manuals and other 'goodies'), but otherwise it's a worthy indie darling that feels most appropriate to have on the Switch.

Add something savage to your collectible shelf with this Funko POP! Kratos figurine. He wields an ax and comes with the face paint and outfit from God of War, and his vinyl construction makes him easy to care for. This Funko POP! Kratos figurine is 3.75 inches tall for easy display on a desk.

Neat God of War Collectable

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great amount of detail (for a POP figure), and no defects found at all in paint job or anything else. Purchased at a time when the figure was starting to become rare and inflated in price on other sites, would recommend picking up from Best Buy for the fairest price if you are interested.

A Must Play
on April 27, 2018
Posted by: shimmy
from Canoga Park, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Whether you are new to the series or have been following the franchise since the beginning like I have, God of War is an excellent game and technical marvel in showcasing what the PS4 is capable of producing, in terms of graphic fidelity as well as gameplay. It offers a more grounded and personal story without losing any of the spectacle and deep mythology that the series is known for. The combat is versatile and caters to many playstyles, whether you're used to fast paced hack and slash adventures, slower paced tactical combat of Dark Souls, or anything else in between. This is not just a recommendation, this is a must play.

Get two of the most acclaimed superhero games in one bundle in Batman: Return to Arkham. Remastered and restored for the PS4, the bundle has Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City along with all previously released content. In Batman: Return to Arkham, the people who wear their underwear on the outside are always the villains.

Really Good Remaster of Two Classics
on April 27, 2018
Posted by: shimmy
from Canoga Park, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Both games in this collection play as well as they did when they came out, and run much smoother with stable frame rates and greatly improved loading times. Overhaul of the graphics makes environments look brilliant, and while character models are touched up some they still show their age. Batman oddly looks much uglier, particularly in the face due to details of certain facial features being more enhanced than they were on the previous gen of consoles. Aside from those few quirks, I'd say this is a remastered collection worth recommending.

Great Game at a Bargain Price
on April 6, 2018
Posted by: shimmy
from Canoga Park, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Recently purchased while it was on sale for $16.99. The game itself is fun and just as full of humor as The Stick of Truth was, and while I haven't beaten it I have heard that the campaign has at least 20 hours worth of content.
Though the packaging may advertise that a free copy of Stick of Truth is included, the codes expired in January of 2018, so just be aware of that. With that being the case I wouldn't recommend it at full retail price, but definitely worth picking up at a discount or on sale.

Defies Expectations in the Best Ways

Verified Purchase:Yes
There are many twists and turns to this game and it incorporates so many unexpected elements and game mechanics, the less you know about this game the better. But it's safe to say that this game offers plenty of fast paced combat, an intriguing world with an engaging story, and offers a great amoubt of replay value. If any of that sounds good to you, then this is definitely worth your consideration.

Good Secondary Dock, but with Some Setbacks
on December 26, 2017
Posted by: shimmy
from Canoga Park, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This alternative Switch Dock set comes with an AC power cable, an HDMI cable, and the dock itself.
The power cable matches the quality and durability of the official Nintendo Switch adapter. Considering this kit is $40 and the official power cable is $30 alone, that already makes this kit worth buying.
As for the dock itself, it works as expected by instantly recognizing the TV or monitor it is connected to. However, the Switch has to be forced into place since the dock area is rather tight, making me feel concerned that I may scratch or damage my Switch. The dock is also heavy and takes up slightly more than the original dock does.

Is there a light that shows the battery condition as it charges or when it's done ?.........I see a light, but I can't tell what it shows......Thanks !

The light on the side of the dock flashes green to indicate when it recognizes that the Switch is docked and/or powered on. It does not indicate when the Switch is charging or reaches full charge.

Does this dock allow you to have a case attached...like the Mumba rubberized case?

The dock is a very tight fit for the Switch on its own. There's definitely no way that it can fit the Switch while it has a case on it.

Upgrade your home theater with this high-quality Samsung 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Integrated Smart Hub technology connects wirelessly to your home network, allowing you to stream your favorite programs on demand. Equipped with several high-definition outputs and an HDMI port, this Samsung 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player integrates easily into your existing setup.
 

Is this a Region Free player or is is it locked to region 1

It seems to be region free, from what I've been able to test. I only have a few Blu-rays from the UK and Canada, but they all played immediately without any setbacks or complications.
