Definitely one of the better board game apps. It has local multi-player, which works well. Online play can be difficult, as most of the players are very hardcore.

This is a great way to play the additional boards. In real life, those boards cost $40-50. But in the app, they can be acquired for $2-5.
  
A Bug's Life (1998)

A Bug’s Life, is loosely based on Kurosawa’s masterpiece, Seven Samurai. Watched side by side, the similarities between a Japanese revenge tale and a children’s classic are striking.


Kurosawa’s epic tells the story of starved Japanese villagers who hire seven unemployed Samurais to help them fight against bandits who continuously raid their town. Ya that sounds like the Plot to A Bugs Life.

 DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE BOTH MOVIES.

I really love big bang theory and I don't usually like to contain spoilers but I have to.
WHAT ABOUT RAJ?!
Raj is basically left with no conclusion and it still bugs me. Why couldn't they give him a big happy ending, he's been struggling the entire series!!!! Urgh this will haunt me.

Repetitive, and a disappointing end to the trilogy.
After getting my hopes up, and initially thoroughly enjoying it, what an absolute stinker this game has turned out to be.

It could have been a great game, but the story, inside and out of the animus, has really let it down.

Firstly, the gameplay is fun, archery, swinging away with axes, beheading everyone in sight, and the mysteries, the new side missions, are an excellent addition, very fun with a great variety, and contain some great little pop cultures references and Easter eggs. The characters are also great, and probably some of the most memorable.

But now the negatives. The first, and for most a deal-breaker, the story. The story is made up of mini-arcs, which all involve gaining allies for your settlement. These tend to be very repetitive in most cases. But of course there are the two main arcs, Eivor's arc, and Layla's arc, the star of the previous two games.

Eivor's arc while very typical, has some really interesting ideas that will blow you away. But don't get too excited, we have no DLC yet, but so far all these awesome ideas and revelations seem to have been forgotten about by the end of the game. The end of his main arc is incredibly dull and predictable.

Layla's arc, unfortunately, while having a good twist, still remains dull, predictable, and comes to a dull, unsatisfactory ending that could have been (and probably was) written in a lunch break.

Finally, the bugs. From day one, this game has had quite a few bugs, ranging from fatal bugs resulting in lost game progress, and preventing the story from progressing, and minor things like being stuck in walls and on viewpoints, horses running out of control (while riding), and being permanently, totally drunk.

Overall, a huge disappointment.

War of the Chosen overhauls the already fabulous XCOM 2 and turns it into absolutely essential fare. The introduction of the Chosen, the soldier bonding system, and the photobooth mode

Ghosting the bad guys
Had this game for years. Love the whole structure (even tho play off line). Still not the done the DLC as love the updates to the maun game that Ubisoft have released.

Missions vary from tactical steath ops (stealth or fail) to all out Gung Ho action. Even the collectables have purpose. Whether it is giving a deeper background to the story or region. Or upgrades for your gear.

The characters are your standard Tom Clancy fare. The spook, the soldiers etc. However you can't help to been drawn in.

As with all Ubi games on release and even today there are bugs. But these are not the bugs of infamy (Assassin's Creed Unity).

At some point I may actually finish this game completely. Hopefully before Breakpoint comes out. Even then I would come back to Wildlands and start over.

"Eddie Murphy was so appropriate. Comedy is the magic of learning to be appropriate. In terms of his performance, he was so damn appropriate. He knew when to play what, and he let the situation lead him into being broad. Because of the situation, he did what he had to do, he was Bugs Bunny talking his way out of situations. That for me is another movie that I would like to do, it made me say, “Damn, I wanna do that.”"

Even though the initial (UK) publication date of this book was pushed off to July, I couldn't wait to post my #bookreview of this lovely novel by one of my favorite authors. Once again, Joyce has given us characters who would not want you to love them, but you surely will despite them! Combine that with an adventure of discovery in New Caledonia and you've got a roller-coaster of a ride of emotions in store for you!

Very good book, especially for the young adult market. I love the fact that Vaughn doesn't write much differently here than she does in her established series, so she doesn't feel like she's talking down to teens at all.

There's one thing that really bugs me, but if I bring up exactly what it is, it will be a spoiler. I will say that I don't honestly think that every YA book or series really has to include a particular sort of negative experience in order for the protagonist to experience growth.

LeBron James

Just watched can't believe I'm the only so far on smashbomb to rate this movie so far anyway the movie as I've seen both space jams I would say I prefer the original jam over this one. Not sure about LeBron James acting ability jury still out there but I can't fault his basketball abilities second to none could have done with a cameo from Michael Jordan almost get one but spoilers. Anyway if u got kids take they will probably enjoy more than adults
