    so, i think the game is worthy of praise and how they created a story using all of these different properties is to be commended. the level designs are varied (i especially like the look of the scooby-doo animated level) and creative. game-wise, it's hard to say this isn't among their best. but the clunkiness of playing with the base platform and constant shuffling of characters across the base has worn thin with me.

    You are right - Amazon has been my greatest friend when finding some of the add-ons. I find a character or a level pack on sale and then we have doled them out slowly as incentives for grades, behavior, etc.

    I understand what they were going for with the portal - it makes the portal more interactive instead of just setting them on it and forgetting it. As for the actual building aspect, I've left most of that up to my son.

    I'm curious as what to what the next expansion will be. The last announced content comes out on the 10th.

    COD is one of those things where if i had a remastered MW or MW2 then i would for sure buy and play them like crazy. those two games were huge and classics. the futuristic shit I'm not a fan of but if they bring those two games back, then I'm getting real excited for them.

    COD 4 was amazing. Still holds up today. Can't wait to see it remastered. Infinite Warfare will be terrible.

    Finally revisited Halo 5 and finished up the campaign tonight. It was a fun campaign, really impressed with what 343 has done to the franchise with this game.

    Can't wait to dive back into multiplayer when I get back from vacation.

    Initial reviews are that it starts slow and plods along gameplay wise, and then picks up completely and becomes very fun to play.

    Can't wait to get my copy of Uncharted 4 tomorrow!

    Also, the new Battlefield looks amazing.

    Yep picking up Uncharted tomorrow as well. Seems to not be the perfect 10 that the last 2 were.

    Most reviews say climbing becomes way tedious.

    Just finished the first uncharted game (i'm way behind) and it was pretty good. My buddy told me they get better with each game. I'm not a big fan of puzzles and solving stuff - much more run and gun. I'll give the others a play just because I have them (came with the console).

    2 was my favorite.

    3 was real good though as well.

    UC4 getting insane praise. From Eurogamer/Digital Foundry:

    "Simply put, Uncharted 4 is the technical powerhouse we've been waiting for. That fleeting sensation of being truly wowed by what's on-screen doesn't come quite as often as we like, but it's a feeling that never left us with this title - even as the final credits rolled. The set-pieces are more impressive, the maps larger, the characters and environments more detailed and the gameplay mechanics are richer than ever before. This is the real deal."

    Can't wait.

    I grabbed the Collection and played through the first three, really fun and it didn't take too long. It seems like 4 definitely has a big story focus. I'd recommend playing through the originals

    just ordered Uncharted off amazon prime, only paid $34 with using my visa amazon points - so sick. Uncharted games are one of the main reasons I bought a PS4. Seriously cannot wait to play.

    so with all of you talking about how amazing Uncharted is, I can get the first 3 for $20? am I missing something obvious?
