5.0 out of 5 stars Was Even Better Than I Could Have Ever Wanted, Jan 22 2013

This review is from: Hitman Absolution (Video Game)
I've been a huge fan of the Hitman game series since Codename 47 came out many years ago. My favourite gaming genre is FPS which tends to be about making noise, killing everyone, spraying blood everywhere and not worrying about alerting anyone. The first time I heard about Hitman I was really sceptical that I would enjoy it because normally I wasn't really into stealth games, but I was 100% wrong. Hitman was amazing and also a great change from the games I normally played. It was fun trying to get the right disguise, killing people quietly and making sure no one was alerted. I have played every game in the series and have never disappointed. However, I was extremely worried that because there was a huge gap between Blood Money and Absolution the team working on it would not be the same people and would have different ideas for the game. I also worried that the creators would try and make it all fancy with 3D video/Motion sensing and other kinds of flashing lights that would stray from the feeling of the older games. Thankfully I was wrong about this. Absolution is AMAZING; it is better than anything I could have ever hoped for and the feeling is the same as the older games. It's basically the previous titles with different settings and stories. Fortunately, all the other elements are the same. It is a great addition to the series and I don't think I could name one thing I would improve about it. If you like the Hitman series or are into stealth gaming I highly recommend this game. The gameplay is very enjoyable, the story is interesting and the graphics are beautiful. Seriously, if you're looking for something new and different go with this, you'll love it- I guantee it.

Title says it all. It's ugly not to mention it's also very offensive to people in the service (army, navy and air force).

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, Jun 20 2012
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought the cosmo black Nintendo 3DS when it first came out. It was a lot more expensive back then but I realized that buying it so early would mean I would pay a lot more than I would if I waited. I couldn't wait for the price to come down and I don't really mind this now. The 3D works REALLY well and adds a lot to the games. I thought that the 3D was going to be more a novelty but after seeing the 3DS game line up I decided to buy it more for the games than the 3D capabilities. I was wrong. The 3D is amazing! I enjoy it a lot. I get headaches really easily but I can play with the 3D on for hours! It doesn't hurt my head at all. The new circle pad is a really nice feature, it makes it feel more like console gaming and it's really comfortable. The only thing I'm kicking myself about now is that I didn't get the awesome colour choices. Having bought it at the beginning I only had the option of black or blue. The blue was sold out so I got black. I really want the red one though, but that's not a big enough problem for me to be unhappy with the system. I highly suggest it. A lot of fun can be had with this gaming system!

Is there by any chance a version in braille? My blind grandmother wants to read it and I was thinking of getting it for her birthday!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, Mar 27 2012
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I'd like to note that I didn't buy this on Amazon, but off of the Futureshop website.

At the time I bought it for $500 CND and it was completely worth it! The picture looks amazing with a LED screen that has full HD (1080p) capabilities. The 3D looks stunning and works really well. The dual full screen for split screen gaming (simulview) is probably the best feature of the TV. Although you can't use simulview in 3D, it works really well for avid gamers who all know that using split screen makes it hard to see what you're doing. The only problem I found was that there is no remote. I'm not sure how anyone could think a TV without a remote is a good idea, but apparently someone did and thus we are left with a great TV minus a remote. I know that a lot of people will be using this TV in a smaller room and therefore will most likely be close to it while using it, but still it would be nice to have a remote. With that said, I do not think that the remote issue is big enough to pass over this great product. Even when it was $500 dollars it was a steal for 3D technology and the newly invented simulview, so now that it's even cheaper, there is no reason not to buy it. If you wish to own a 3DTV but do not have tons of money to spend BUY THIS TV. It will become your new favourite electronic.

Another thing that I think is important is the glasses. In order to use the simulview you will need two pairs, one for each person. The TV only comes with one pair, but the glasses are around $40 on their own. Usually 3D glasses can go for 100s of dollars, so you won't be going broke after buying the TV and another set of glasses.

In order to use the TV to game in 3D you will need a HDMI cord that supports 3D. You can find one on Amazon for less than a dollar. Try to get the longest one you can find because although you might not need it now, you may need the extra length if you ever want to move the TV.

Overall you should be able to get everything you need for about $501 + tax + shipping and handling. Also, if you already have a PS3 and want to use it to play 3D games, all you need to do is update the firmware. There is no need to get a new PS3 because they are all capable as long as the firmware is up to date. To do this turn on the PS3 where you will see the menu screen of your PS3. Go to the second icon from the left and chose update PS3. Finish that and you'll be ready to go!

I hope I helped. Overall, the TV is perfect if you are interested in 3D technology and it won't bankrupt you.

Enjoy!

I have not bought the game because I think it would have been better if they had made a Marvel vs. DC Comics game.

Great product. I mean GREAT. It looks cool, it's educational and in HD. What more could you ask for? Not to mention the wonderful David Attenborough narrates it! The show really teaches you a lot while keeping you entertained. The picture looks great and the product came fast with no problems. I highly recommend this great boxset!

The game is great, I highly suggest it. Make sure NOT TO BUY from RareWaves-CA.
They sent me a PAL version of the game even though I ordered it from a Canadian site, have a Canadian address and THEY ARE FROM CANADA. These people are incompetent, BUYER BEWARE.
