Just another Halo

As before, it's a fun time to play the games with your buddies in the same room, but the series just doesn't really do anything special to warrant all of the hype that follows it. Bland characters and story, but the gameplay is solid and the multiplayer is fun. Then again, I could say that about any number of other shooters on the market.

Come for the PvP, stay for the (co-op) campaign

Something about shooters just works so well for a co-op campaign. Halo never had an interesting world or story to tell, in my opinion, which is just as well since they worked on polishing the multiplayer to a pretty good shine. Sitting on the same couch blasting your friends (because paying to play a game online is a waste of money) is a lot of fun, and even better is teaming up with them to mow down the bad guys.
An improvement over the original games, but still not good enough to warrant all of the hype that the series receives. You can get just as good of an experience from any number of other shooters on the market. For my money, Borderlands is a better series and more worthwhile than Halo.

I admit it, I was never a big fan of the Halo series. However, I had friends that were fans so I always wound up in multiplayer matches and knew my way around the controls. The single player campaign was never appealing to me, and the multiplayer was something I was more or less forced to play by my friends. With that somewhat negative background for the game, I still bought a copy of this game so that I'd have something to play with my fiancee that she enjoyed. And much to my surprise, I kind of liked the campaign.
Now, that's not to say that I think all of the hype is warranted; not by a long shot. There are some truly evil checkpoint placements in the game, often stranding you with very little ammo, health, or both to finish up a firefight. Some levels or segments are incredibly annoying *cough Library cough* and there's a general feeling of predictability in the game; I always seemed to guess where the "dead body ammo dump" (as I called them) locations would be. The story is also pretty uninteresting, turning into a bland sci-fi zombie story about halfway through.
That said, they did cram some impressive size and scale into some of the areas, and switching between old and new graphics on the fly is a nice touch in this version of the game. Co-op is also a lot more fun than competitive multiplayer, which is how I've played most of the time now. And the controls are definitely solid, if unspectacular.
Which pretty much sums up how I feel about the game as a whole. Good enough, but nothing special.

Better than expected

I'm a longtime Fall Out Boy fan, following them eagerly since Take This To Your Grave, which is still one of my favorite albums to go back to time and again in the Pop/Punk genre. While Patrick Stump still gives an excellent vocal delivery (he was always my favorite part of the band) I still think that he sounded better and more into the music when it was over the lightly punky sound of their earlier works.
Needless to say the drastic shift in sound was a disappointment for me but I'm learning to enjoy them for who they are now, even if they aren't following up on the raw sound from the Pax AM Days EP like I'd hoped they would.
My favorite song is definitely "Novocaine," which has Patrick's strongest vocals on the album, pushing and straining his voice higher than ever, but the album is a solid run throughout. Not their best, but at least it's better than "Save Rock and Roll" and Folie A Deux.

New peak for the series

Smash Bros has long been a favorite Nintendo series, but this one completely outdoes all of the previous entries in terms on content, control, gameplay, and of course graphics. There is no better multiplayer than a local game of Smash Bros.
Truly amazing in motion, and spending time mastering all of the characters is both enjoyable and will take plenty of time to learn. One of the best bang for your buck games around.

Excellent update of an overlooked classic

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Legend of Zelda series is admittedly one of my favorites so I may be a little biased, but this is a relatively overlooked gem from the N64 era that I'm glad to see updated and re-released for a new generation. This game has such atmosphere and personality that it's hard to put it down, and finding all of the masks is incredibly satisfying. Even the side quests have their own stories and happenings. One of the most vivid, living worlds created in games of the era, and it stands strong against the test of time. (Pun intended.)

Perfectly portable Smash Bros.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Ever since the first time I played Super Smash Bros. on the N64 I've been dreaming of having a portable version to play on the road. Nintendo didn't just throw something together and call it a day, they built one of the most content-packed and feature-rich games for the 3DS system. I don't know how they accomplished pushing the system to its limits while still keeping perfectly smooth gameplay, even with the 3D turned on, but the programming effort was well worth it; this is truly uncompromised Smash Bros. game play in your hands, and it feels magical.

Fun game for fans of both series

Wonderfully over-the-top moves and abilities are a visual treat as you mow down thousands of enemies without breaking a sweat. It's not a perfect game by any means, but if you look past a few rough edges common to the Dynasty Warriors series then what you'll find is a game that's eager to entertain the Zelda faithful.

Weird Al does it again!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Most of the songs parodied here I was very tired of hearing played on the radio, or my friends playing them while we're hanging out, but the parodies kept it interesting and enjoyable to listen to them just one more time. Not to mention the comedy is intact; even in the face of a lot of competition from the YouTube generation Weird Al shows a much more polished level of comedic writing and timing with his parodies.
If you're a fan at all, definitely pick this one up.
I'm looking forward to seeing what he has planned now that his record contract is up...

Follow the Inklings on a new adventure with Splatoon 2: Starter Edition for Nintendo Switch. Play with teams of two or four players to battle it out against opposing groups, and customize your characters with outfits, accessories and weapons that give you an edge on the competition. Splatoon 2: Starter Edition works with Splatoon Series Nintendo Amiibo characters (not included) to unlock even more weaponry and surprises.This bundle is perfect for first-time Inklings; it contains the game, a detailed strategy guide, which will equip you with the knowledge you'll need to become a squid on the battlefield, and two stylish sticker sheets.
 

Is it the whole Splatoon 2 game or a shorter version?

It’s the whole game. It’s only called the “Starter Edition” because it also includes a mini guide to help new players get acquainted with the basics of the game.

Take your gaming experience to a new level with the Corsair Gaming M65 laser gaming mouse. With an 12000 DPI laser sensor, this mouse gives you a gaming edge with a responsive, precise tracking. The Corsair M65 laser gaming mouse features a high-mass scroll wheel, a dedicated sniper button and eight programmable buttons.
 

changeable dpi? or is it set at 12000 cause that's mega high.

Yes, the DPI is adjustable on this mouse; there are buttons to adjust it on the fly located directly below the wheel. I don't have the exact numbers handy but there are 5 settings available.

Admittedly I don't have much experience with different gaming mice, but I really like this mouse. Hopefully this helps!
