Great Ratings
Great for those of us who don't have iTunes, or want to rate something that isn't available there.
A great app to share reviews (both good and bad) of books, music, podcasts, movies, tabletop games, apps, tech items, and clothing, to help others who want to know whether something is worth trying. As a member you can both read and leave reviews, and enter giveaway draws to have items sent to you to review, some of which are pretty epic.
The Smashbomb app is proof that good things come in small packages.

Hit or Miss
I was introduced to this game by a friend, and completely forgot about it until it appeared on Wil Wheaton's Tabletop.

The first time I played it, it didn't leave much of an impression. Felt like a more lightweight version of Werewolf.

After watching the Tabletop episode, I gave it another chance and had a much better time. Like a lot of lightweight party-style games, The Resistance lives and dies on the specific people playing it. If you have even just one or two players that have a little bit of buy-in, or what to really get into the scheming and accusations, it can be immensely fun.

However, sometimes you end up with a group of players that eschew the seat-of-the-pants gameplay implied by the quickness and lightweightedness of the game, and by the third mission, the game has become less about being sneaky and playing against people, and turns into a kind of logic puzzle.

Have had some real fun games, have had a few dull ones. Definitely worth a play if you're looking for something light and fast while you're waiting for the one guy in your gaming group to make heads or tails of the rulebook of the big box game he just bought.

For me, this version is an improvement to the original. It tries to help you learn the game rather than fight you as the FFG version seemed to do at times. If you already have the FFG version, you can purchase an upgrade kit that has all of the new cards in a nice tin for about $30, and then download the new version of the rules from the Ares Games website, that might be enough for you.

Great addition to 5e
This expansion is a perfect example of how to make an tabletop expansion. It takes the great system that was already established in the PHB and adds multiple extra layers of goodness to the game. The spells list is really great. It has a lot of super unique and versitile spells. Personally I find the names list to be kind of dull and not very impressive, but it's a small nitpick that takes very little away from the overall great quality of the book.
