The most popular terrible game since monopoly
This is a game where you stab your friends in the back as you play king of the hill essentially. people gang up on the leader, and the game only ends when someone take a substantial lead.... which means the game can and does go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, until people get frustrated and don't want to play any more and give up and let someone win.... kinda like monopoly.... If you like these games, go out and get one of the 15,000 expansion and themed versions.... if you like boardgames to be strategic and have challenging choices and interesting mechanics, look elsewhere. I've played this game 4 times over 10 years, and each one reminded me why I didn't play it for so long between.... I will not be tricked again. I veto this on game nights.....

I'll start by saying I didn't enjoy this half as much as the first one (and it had been a while between books, so I had to go out and buy Divergent on DVD in the quickest and easiest way of catching up).
I thought it would have been as good if not better but the main reason for me reading it (the romance) kinda took a turn for the worst for a lot of this with arguments and lying and going behind each others backs.
As for the rest of it, it didn't draw me in as much as I expected and in fact I got a little bored in places.
The best bit was the ending for me, not because it was the end but because of what came out in that video that was played.
I'm going straight onto the last book but it may take me a while to read.

Realistic controls (4 more)
Awsome story
Not to easy but not to hard
Multiplayer quick matches
Good repayable
Expert controls are a hard to get used to (2 more)
But repetitive and simlar levels to previous games
Very expensive top tier craft to unlock
Good game all over
Absolutely joy to play on normal controls easy to fly and shoot and do all missions. But on the expert controls which for me just can not get used to. Aircraft are brilliantly designed and look so like the real thing. Nice bit if scifi with the laser weapons on the later craft unlock. Unlocking the aircraft you have to think ahead to which path you want to take. As i tried to get the su57 towards the end. Playing multiplayer is good for noobs like me most of the matched dont really score much but you get a lot ofcash to unlock more craft and part quickly.
Over all a great game

Hilarious take on a serious subject
A comedy about terrorism isn’t something you’d think would ever be made, let alone be any good, but Four Lions takes this serious subject on brilliantly. I’m sure there are many people out there that will take offence, but when the film centres a group of bumbling totally inept terrorists, for me it was very difficult to not find it humorous when the characters are just so stupid. It’s absolutely hilarious, with some great quotes and one liners dotted throughout and also a lot of relevant cultural and locational based references. The references about Alton Towers cracked me up, and the quotes about rubber dinghy rapids has stayed with me ever since I first watched this years ago. I would be intrigued to know how this film is received by those who aren’t British, as I’m not sure a lot of these references would have quite the impact.
This isn’t to say the film isn’t serious at all, because it is. Focusing on the family of Omar brings a bleaker outlook and the ending actually makes you feel sorry for most of them, after everything. Riz Ahmed shines in this, he’s absolutely brilliant and it’s easy to see why he’s now moved over into Hollywood. The rest of the cast are good, Kayvan Novak especially, but it's Riz that stands out.
A fantastically funny British film that’s sure to have you laughing out loud.

Story
I really liked this game, bought directly as a result of playing Destiny. I was a little surprised to take down a major boss and the final boss in the first tries, as I am quite used to dying several times over before beating them. However, I still intend to buy the expansions and carry on as the story is fantastic and the game draws me in for hours without getting bored. I look forward to exploring the story further.

This is a fun app to use, and a great premise, I've been playing for awhile and although I'm not particularily good, it does keep me informed about whats new in movies and how they are doing at the box office. worth a try if you've never played.
