Assassin's Creed III
Assassin's Creed III
Action/Adventure
An overwhelming experience in its own right, Assassin’s Creed III is the crown jewel on an already excellent series, and it sets the mind reeling about the potential for where the story goes from here.
  
Grand Theft Auto IV
Grand Theft Auto IV
Action/Adventure
It's an absolutely essential landmark title for the games industry. In terms of the sheer scope, emotion, ambition, and the stupidly high fun factor it offers, there is no better available in the genre today. In fact, no one else comes anywhere near.

Page turner
This is a page turner, that gripped me from start to finish. It is a very psychological book that will keep you on your toes. The writing was very good and the main character is fascinating. The plot is one of the most original that I have ever read.
  
Thumper
Thumper
2017 | Action/Adventure
You can't deny that it's gorgeous,and it runs at a smooth 60fps at all times. That's impressive. Basically, Thumper is a game that needs to be played regardless. If you can get the VR version, get that instead. If not, the Switch is still one well worth

There are so many great life lessons here and Mrs. Saint with her wisdom and guidance teaches most of them. Family isn’t always about being blood related and sometimes bonds can be formed quickly and when you least expect it.

Madden NFL 17 turned a corner. While it hasn't overhauled its entire system to the point that it looks like a game-changer, the little aspects make the follow-up more polished. Kudos to EA Sports to stepping up its game.

Addition of tools
Import from Little Big Planet
Best one of the series!
This game took everything the first game had and made it better. More creation tools, more goodies, a better sort, just better. An added bonus if you have the original game you have ability to import your goodies to your game.

There is also a ton of DLC to enhance your experience.

For me the second age of the mistborn (Wax and Wayne) pale in comparison with the original trilogy. However, Bands of Mourning was a definite improvement over the previous 2 books. A lot of the post-Harmony history starts to be uncovered and some very interesting things hinted at. I am looking forward to the final second age book, and am expecting some fairly significant developments.

2017 | Action, Comedy
If you’re looking for something a bit deeper then give this a wide birth but if you don’t mind a few predictable story lines combined with some decent fight scenes and action sequences as well as the reliable Reynolds humour then give this a go.

This is a book about LIFE if you’re willing to look past the title. There’s always a silver lining to Adam Silvera’s books, your heart will be broken by the end but you may also find yourself with a new perspective
