GameCritics (290 KP) rated Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in Video Games

Sep 21, 2017

Staggeringly deep open-world with huge variety of strategies and item upgrades (4 more)

Impeccable production values and haunting audio

The most-accessible MGS game yet

Ingenious game-structure-as-metaphor with philosophical depths

Attaching an upgraded fulton balloon to *anything*

Intense pacing from initially daunting to incredibly tough (0 more)

MGS5 is a masterpiece. It's hard to imagine another AAA game that will be allowed a five-year development cycle, yet feel so completely the work of one man. A game where you can visit a prisoner's cell and hear Joy Division

Campy creepy fun

I had never seen this horror classic until last night. For some reason it had always escaped me.

When teenager Mike stumbles upon some gruesome happenings at a funeral, he decides to investigate. He discovers the mysterious "Tall Man" whom he battles with his brother to see who survives.

It certainly has the low budget film look with shoddy lighting and the usual low budget effects, but there are enough creepy images and those cool flying metal spheres to keep you entertained throughout.

Since I have just purchased the Phantasm 5 pack, I definitely see more Phantasm in my immediate future.

Don't be a bully!

Manga is not my first choice of something I would pick up if I was browsing Waterstones. I did read Naruto when I was at school but I have never had a physical copy. It is only recently that I have been getting into anime because my other half watches a lot and I end up watching it with him; Fairy Tale, Dragonball Z and Full Metal Alchemist just to name a few.

So I decided to pick up something out of my comfort zone and give some proper manga a try.

This is the original leaf so the design is a bit clunkier than the urban, but it is still far more stylish and versatile than other trackers like the Fitbit. It can be worn on a necklace, leather bracelet, or clipped onto your clothing. Its unique wood and metal design definitely attract attention.

The app developers are continuously adding more new features that makes this a unique tracker. It can also be used with the Spring water bottle to track your water intake. The drawback is that it requires a watch type battery rather than a rechargeable battery that can be docked.

Excellent materials, back lit keyboard for gaming in the dark, good price, easy to install (wired) (0 more)

Great Heavy Duty Gaming Keyboard

I recently had a gaming base unit and decided I needed a decent gaming keyboard to go with it. I bought this not knowing what to expect as I had never heard of the name. Its very impressive and with the back lit keys makes it ideal for gaming. Metal throughout means its a lot more durable than most plastic ones. A good range of keys and simple user interface, comfortable wrist support too. All in all very good value and excellent quality.
